Evelyn’s fingers trembled as she stared at her phone.
“…Roman…”
Her voice came out barely above a whisper.
Roman immediately stilled.
The moment he saw her expression, something in his chest tightened.
“What happened?” he asked, already moving toward her.
Evelyn didn’t answer. She simply held out the phone.
Roman took it from her hand, his brows furrowing.
Then he saw the headline.
His heart skipped.
For a split second, everything around him went quiet.
Slowly, his thumb moved.
He clicked the video.
The screen flickered. Voices overlapped in panic.
“Evelyn!”
“Christ—she’s bleeding!”
“Call emergency! NOW!”
Roman’s breath hitched. His entire body went rigid.
The video ended. But he didn’t move.
His hand tightened around the phone, knuckles paling as his grip grew stronger.
