His love

Willow plugged the USB drive into the laptop and opened the video she had copied to the desktop. 

“What kind of stunt are you trying to pull now, Willow?” Matthew glared at her calm face, his voice tight with anger. 

“Mr. Mayer, I’m not pulling any stunts. I just want to prove Aaron’s Innocence.” 

Willow swiveled the laptop around so the screen faced Matthew. 

“Mr. Mayer, when someone makes a mistake, they should admit it. If Aaron is innocent, you owe him an apology.” 

“Willow!” Matthew started to step forward, ready to throttle the defiant woman, but then he saw Wilhelmina in the video. 

Wilhelmina leaned in close to Aaron, whispering something in his ear. The video had no sound, but it was clear she was saying something to him. 

Wilhelmina’s words clearly enraged Aaron. The next moment, he bit her hand fiercely, like an angry little beast. 

The video was zoomed in, capturing every detail of Aaron’s and Wilhelmina’s faces. Matthew could see Wilhelmina suddenly pulling her hand away, dramatically throwing herself backward. As she fell, she made sure to hit the back of her head on a nearby stone pillar. 

Aaron didn’t push her. In fact, he didn’t move his hands at all. 

Matthew stared at the screen in disbelief. From his vantage point in the underground garage, he had only 

seen Wilhelmina’s back and missed many details. 

He saw Aaron bite Wilhelmina, and when she suddenly fell against the pillar, he naturally assumed Aaron had pushed her. But now, he realized it was all a setup orchestrated by Wilhelmina. 

Matthew felt a mix of anger and betrayal. He had married Wilhelmina, and as his wife, he believed she -deserved his unconditional trust. Yet, she had betrayed that trust so brutally. 

Matthew was still reeling from the intense shock when Willow’s voice, tinged with a hint of sarcastic resignation, broke the silence. 

“Matthew, you must be curious about what Wilhelmina whispered to Aaron.” With that, Willow played an audio recording. 

“Aaron, Matt hates you, and he hates your mom, Willow, even more. Do you know why he hates your mom so much? It’s because Willow is cheap and shameless. 

“She’ll sleep with anyone. Just the sight of her makes Matt sick!” Wilhelmina’s voice dripped with malice. 

Matthew felt as if his world had been turned upside down. He couldn’t believe that the woman he had loved and protected, who had stood by him through thick and thin, could speak with such venom. 

2/2 

But it was unmistakably Wilhelmina’s voice. The video clearly showed her deliberately hitting her head against the pillar, fabricating the whole incident. 

Before Matthew could fully process the shock, Willow’s voice, now icy and commanding, cut through hist thoughts. “Matthew, you falsely accused Aaron. You owe him an apology!”
