Nora's POV
I furrowed my brow, confusion twisting in my chest as I watched the woman take bold, hurried steps toward us. Her heels clicked sharply against the marble floor, echoing through the stunned silence of the hall. Before anyone could react, she raised her hand.
SMACK!
The sound of the slap echoed through the air. Everyone gasped. She had just slapped Daniel.
"You think I wouldn't find out?" she shouted, her voice shaking with rage. "You thought you could hide from me forever?"
Daniel's eyes widened in shock, his hand moving to his cheek. "What the hell are you doing here?"
My heart pounded as I looked between them, my voice trembling. "Daniel… what is going on?"
He didn't answer. His lips parted, but no sound came out.
The woman's eyes snapped toward me, burning with jealousy. "Don't act innocent," she hissed. "You really think he's yours? You think you could take what belongs to me?"
Before I could even move, she lunged toward me, her hand flying up to slap me.
