At the hospital, Naomi was still weak and furious. She kept thinking about Neema, convinced she was the one who betrayed her. Her anger grew with every passing minute, and she swore to make Neema pay.
Then Richard walked in.
Naomi was surprised to see him. For a moment, she felt a little comfort. Maybe he came to support her. Maybe someone still cared. She looked at him and said, “Do you see what Neema did to me? Is this how friends treat each other?”
Richard listened quietly. He didn’t say much, but his face showed concern. Naomi kept blaming Neema, over and over again.
That’s when Karen showed up, her timing perfect—as always.
Richard stepped out to find a doctor, leaving Naomi alone with Karen.
Karen walked closer and smiled coldly. “You thought this was just bad luck?” she asked. “Naomi, this wasn’t an accident.”
Naomi’s heart skipped. “What do you mean?”
Karen leaned in and whispered, “The car that hit you… that was my cousin, Job. And yes, we planned it all.”
Naomi froze. Her mouth opened, but no words came out. “You… planned this?”
Karen nodded. “You hurt me. You ruined my life. You really thought I would let that slide?”
Just then, Job entered the ward. Naomi’s heart jumped again. She thought maybe he had come to comfort her. With tears in her eyes, she called him “babe” and begged him not to leave her alone.
But Job didn’t come with love. He came with revenge.
He looked at Naomi and laughed. “You still don’t get it, do you? I was never yours. I’m Karen’s cousin. And this… this was payback.”
Naomi broke down. Everything she believed was a lie. The man she loved helped plan her downfall. Karen’s plan had worked perfectly.
And Richard—still clueless—had no idea that while he was out looking for a doctor, a deadly truth had just crushed Naomi’s world.
