Julian looked away, sighing heavily. "This is not about doubting you. The evidence is against you, and I am wondering why that makeup artist said that you cut the stitches of the dress."
Ruby's heart shattered at his words, tears streaming down her cheeks as she pleaded for his understanding and compassion. "You trust her, not me. I thought you trusted me, loved me. Julian, I am Ruby, your Ruby. How could you be so heartless towards me? I still love you so much. Please don't leave me. I have no one but you in this world. I need you, Julian. Please don't break up with me," she pleaded, crying her eyes out.
