Chapter 8

Juliette's POV I was having my breakfast at the Frost residence when I learned that Christopher had been sent to prison and Winona had been severely injured. In the photos, Christopher's face was ashen, completely devoid of his former confidence and vigor. He was handcuffed and escorted by policemen into a police car. As for Winona, I heard she was badly injured. Christopher had broken one of her legs, and she would never be able to dance again for the rest of her life. When news of her injury made the trending headlines, a young woman came forward and exposed her, claiming Winona had bribed the competition judges to secure the championship. I recalled how she once flaunted the champion's ring in front of me with pride, and I couldn't help but feel a wave of bitter irony. Just as I set down my phone, I heard footsteps approaching from behind. Declan Frost, a tall and handsome man, sat down across from me. "You've seen the news?" I put my phone away and looked at him gratefully.
