Meanwhile, Roman carried Michelle all the way to her room, and as expected, her sister didn't follow him. He wasn't surprised, he suspected it was all part of their plan. What he didn't expect was for Michelle to go as far as risking her life just to gain his attention.
He already had doubts about Patricia's kidnapping, but after the ridiculous performance Michelle and her sister put on today, it was clear she had something to do with it.
Upon reaching her room, he laid her down on the bed and tucked her in, pulling the duvet over her with stiff hands. Just as he turned to leave, she grabbed his hand and sat up abruptly, her voice soft and pleading.
"Please… look into my eyes. Are you still angry at me?" She asked, her gaze searching his. "I truly had no hand in Patricia's kidnapping. She's only framing me because she hates me."
She thought she had managed to touch a nerve, to twist his feelings back in her favor. But what happened next was far from what she expected.
