Chapter 103 Fury Unleashed

• Rachel POV
• The police station’s waiting area was a crucible, its fluorescent lights searing my eyes, the air thick with the acrid scent of sweat and desperation, a fitting backdrop for the nightmare unfolding before me. Scarlett’s arms were still around me, her embrace a tether I wanted to break, her pity a weight that crushed my spirit. Nick stood nearby, his face a mask of shame and rage, his voice low but venomous as he muttered about Jeremy, his brother, the man he now despised. But it was Celine who held the room captive, her performance a masterclass in manipulation, her sobs echoing off the linoleum, her silk dress clinging to her frame as she wailed about her love for Jeremy, her dreams of their wedding shattered by his betrayal—with me, his niece. Each word was a blade, slicing through my heart, her crocodile tears a mockery of the love Jeremy and I shared, a love she’d twisted into a scandal to destroy us.
• “I loved him so much,” Celine cried, her hands clutching her chest, her eyes darting to the crowd of officers and onlookers, ensuring every ear caught her grief. “I was planning our future, our marriage, imagining a life together. And then to find out he was… with her, his own niece! It’s disgusting, heartbreaking. How could he do this to me?”
