Chapter 17 Katrina's Miscarriage

• A pang of hurt and betrayal swept through Amber, even though she knew they were only in a contract marriage. She was furious, but she decided not to confront Stefan. As she turned away from Stefan and the woman, her heart was a turbulent storm of conflicting emotions. Anger, hurt, and confusion but she pushed them aside, reminding herself that her marriage to Stefan was nothing more than a contract marriage.
• Before she could gather her thoughts, Valentina's sudden appearance caught her off guard. "You whore!" She lifted a hand and slapped Amber as hard as she could.
• The force of Valentina's slap sent a sharp sting across Amber's cheek, leaving her stunned and speechless. Her hand instinctively rose to touch the spot where Valentina's palm had struck her, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief.
