Chapter 4 Chapter 4 The three of them immediately moved to block whoever just kicked the door in. "Do you have ANY idea whose room this is?! This is Lola Chase's PRIVATE suite! You've got a death wish or something?!" I tried to scream for help, but my voice came out as barely a whisper. The man shoved past them like they were made of paper and rushed to my side. "Lola! What the hell did they do to you?!" Sebastian's eyes narrowed. "Oh, you work for the Chases, huh?" He puffed up his chest. "My WIFE is injured and confused. I'm in charge of all company matters now." Gideon Sinclair straightened up slowly, his gaze landing on the three of them like a death sentence. "Oh, so YOU'RE the charity cases she's been bankrolling." He tilted his head. "Back from the dead, huh? Cute trick." His voice dropped to a growl. "Get. OUT." He slammed the call button. Nurses would be here any second. The three of them went rigid with rage. 'YOU need to leave," Miles hissed. "You're interfering with Chase family business!" Gideon ignored him. He pulled me upright and pressed hard into the pressure point on my hand. The sharp pain jolted me awake just enough to speak. 'Gideon..." My voice cracked. "They tried to... cut off my face. For the nanny." Gideon's fist connected with Sebastian's jaw so fast I barely saw it coming. You were RAISED by this family, and THIS is how you repay her?!" He grabbed Sebastian by the collar and threw him into the wall. 'Starting now, the Chase family is cutting you off. ALL of you. Go back to whatever gutter you crawled out of." That hit a nerve. These three had lived like princes since the day I adopted them. The LAST thing they wanted was anyone reminding them where they came from. Sebastian lunged at him. Carter and Miles followed. Gideon dropped all three in under ten seconds. Sebastian groaned on the floor, still thinking about Linda. 14:42 37.3 You Faked Death for Her? Cute-Watch Me Delete You Forever Chapter 4 "Lola, PLEASE. I've never asked you for ANYTHING. Linda saved my life! Don't you OWE her?! It's just SKIN! Why can't you do this ONE thing for me?!" Carter jumped in, voice shaking. "You've been rich your whole life! You have NO idea how hard it is for people like us-people like LINDA-to survive! She's delicate! Sensitive! If her face is scarred, she'll be DESTROYED!" Miles nodded frantically. "She's just a girl who cares about her looks! Can't you have some compassion?!" Gideon helped me sip some water. I fought against the sedative pulling me under, my voice cold and steady. "Is it MY fault Linda was born poor?" "Is it MY fault she cares about her face? You think I DON'T?!" Gideon finally got a good look at my injuries. His hands started shaking. "Lola... did THEY do this to you?" His jaw clenched. "Don't worry. I'll make them pay. Even if it kills me." His palm was warm against mine. My eyes burned. In my past life, I'd been spoiled rotten. Dad worried I'd end up alone-or worse, trapped in a bad marriage. So he brought home a few orphan boys and raised them alongside me. If I didn't want to marry a stranger, at least I'd have options I could trust. Or so he thought. Sebastian, Carter, and Miles spent YEARS pushing Gideon out. And I, too young and stupid to see through them, chose Sebastian. I shut Gideon out completely. 14:42 You Faked Death for Her?
