Chapter 7 - The Second WarThe FBI arrived at the estate.
Special Agent Daniel Harris placed a file on the table.
"Dante Rossi is more dangerous than Isabella ever was."
Khloe stared at the documents.
"Why?"
"Because Isabella acted from emotion."
Harris looked directly at her.
"Dante acts from strategy."
He explained that Dante had begun funding Isabella's appeal.
He had hired some of Manhattan's most aggressive attorneys.
The defense intended to argue that the hospital evidence had been manipulated.
Khloe felt sick.
"They're going to say I lied?"
"They're going to say everything."
Marcus reached for her hand.
"We'll fight it."
Khloe looked through the window toward Manhattan.
She remembered the marble floor.
The broken glass.
The pain.
The fear.
But she was no longer the woman who had curled around her unborn child and prayed for survival.
She was Leo's mother now.
And she had discovered something stronger than fear.
Determination.
"I'll testify," she said.
Marcus looked at her.
"You don't have to."
"Yes."

Khloe's voice was quiet.
"But I want to."
