Chapter 2: She Remembered Something
Part 2 ⬇️
Marcus didn't wait for an answer.
He walked straight to the nurses' station and came back two minutes later with the head of hospital security.
Isabella hadn't moved.
She was still staring at that blinking red light like it was the only thing in the room.
"Pull the footage," Marcus said.
"Everything from the last hour."
The security officer nodded and reached for his radio.
That's when Isabella finally spoke.
"Marcus." Her voice had changed.
No more tears.
No more trembling.
"You don't want to do that."
Marcus turned slowly.
"Excuse me?"
She straightened.
Smoothed her dress.
And looked at him with eyes I had never seen before.
Cold.
Completely calm.
"There are things on that recording that will hurt you too."
The room went still.
Marcus stared at her.
"What does that mean?"
Isabella glanced at me.
Then back at him.
"Ask her," she said quietly.
"Ask Khloe what she said to me before you walked in."
My bl00d ran cold.
Because I hadn't said anything.
I had been on the floor.
Barely conscious.
Protecting my baby.
But Isabella was smiling now.
Small.
Certain.
Like she had been waiting for this moment all along.
And I realized — she hadn't panicked when she saw the camera.
She had remembered something.
Something she knew was already on that recording.
Something she could use.

What did Isabella put on that recording — and why does she think it protects her?
