That night, Amelia couldn't sleep.Ethan was curled beside her, peaceful Unaware of the storm coming.Her mind replayed everything.The humiliation,The pregnancy.The years of struggle.And now—Him.Back in her life.
Stronger,More dangerous,More determined.
Her phone buzzed.Unknown number,She hesitated Then answered."Miss Carter," a cold female voice said. "You should know something."Amelia frowned. "Who is this?"
"Someone who knows Adrian Knight better than you ever did."Her grip tightened."What do you want?"A soft laugh."Leave the city."Or you and your child will regret it.The call ended And Amelia realized—This wasn't just about Adrian anymore.
The next day, Amelia walked into her office—And froze.A woman was sitting in her chair,Elegan,.Beautiful and Dangerous.Adrian's ex-fiancée.
"I've been waiting for you," the woman said calmly.Amelia's instincts screamed "Get out of my office."The woman smiled.Slow,Cruel."You really thought you could come back into his life… with a child… and face no consequences?"
Amelia didn't respond.She didn't need to Because she already understood.This woman wasn't here to talk She was here to destroy her.
"And trust me," the woman whispered, "I will make sure you lose everything."
