And Dr. Robert Vance, Chief of Medicine.

I felt cold.

The room seemed to tilt slightly.

Mark had already moved.

He had gone straight to James Hendricks.

And James was more than willing to help him ruin me.

I leaned against the cold metal locker, trying to breathe.

I had worked so hard to rebuild my life after the divorce.

My job was the only thing I had left.

And now, they were going to take it away.

I looked down at my hand.

I was still holding Daniel’s business card.

My thumb traced the raised lettering of his name.

Did I dare call him?

Would he really help me against men like Mark and James?

The phone in my hand buzzed again.

A new text message appeared at the top of my screen.

It was from an unknown number.

I tapped the notification.

*You should have stayed away from my business, Victoria,* the message read.

*Now you are going to see what happens when you cross people who actually matter.*

My hand shook so hard I almost dropped the phone.
