“Denise, what are you doing here?” I asked icily.

My sharp tone momentarily caught Denise off guard, her expression freezing for a beat, only to quickly revert to her feigned victimhood. Her eyes welled up with tears, poised to spill at any moment, “Caleb, please don’t misjudge me, I have no ulterior motives swiftly, she raised her phone and stated, “I’m here to vindicate Debra. I have evidence that exposes Tina as Jayla’s murderer
She then activated her phone and displayed the evidence for us.
It was a video recording. On the screen, Tina’s accomplice slipped a considerable sum of money to a prison guard under the guise of visiting Jayla. Soon after, the guard poisoned Jayla.

I turned a curious eye to Denise.
“How did you manage to get your hands on this?”
Denise wiped her tears and explained, “Jayla and I were friends, so I went to the prison to visit her. I never anticipated stumbling upon this scene, so I recorded it quickly.
Hy eyes narrowed as skepticism filled my mind. Jayla‘’s story was full of holes.
What an uncanny stroke of luck! Why present this now? The motive was clear-she sought to exonerate herself since Tina was no more.
I didn’t want this nasty woman to get what she wished for, so I inquired, “Then why didn’t you show it to us earlier?”
Denise knelt in front of my father.

Her tears flowed freely as she choked out her words.
“I’m a rogue with no one to turn to. The fear of Barton family’s retaliation has kept me from revealing this. But I thought about it for a while, and I just couldn’t let Debra suffer when I knew the truth. So I gathered my courage to come here and tell you the truth.”
A momentary pause ensued as Denise gazed at me, her eyes heavy with meaning. Her face was wet with tears, her cheeks red and puffy.
“But even my kindness has been met with doubt. It makes me sad.”
Caleb’s POV: I didn’t buy into Denise’s words, not even a bit.

“There’s a chance you’re just saying all this. How can we know whether it’s true or not? And let’s not forget, you were kicked out by my mother before because you annoyed her. With such a bad track record, who in their right mind would trust you?”
“I swear on Dylan’s life!” Unfazed by my doubts, Denise seemed resolute, ready to go to any lengths to convince me.
“If I lied to you, I would lose Dylan forever, and I’d never see him again. Caleb, Dylan is my son. I can’t bear to lose him, can I?”
I didn’t respond to Denise’s words-I still couldn’t fully believe her. Ny father, however, seemed to be swayed by her. In a hushed tone, he tried to persuade me, “Caleb, a mother doesn’t lightly make an oath about her own child. She must be telling the truth.”
Seizing the opportunity, Denise pressed on, “I love you, Caleb. Truly. I risked offending the Barton family to gather evidence and prove Debra’s innocence, all to make you happy. Can’t you trust me, considering what I’ve done?”
I looked at her and remained silent.
Denise’s eyes remained fixed on me, full of unwavering affection.
“I know Debra is your future Luna, but as the Alpha, you have the right to have other women, I’m willing to serve you and Debra for the rest of my life if it means I can stay here with you.”
