Two weeks later…
Amelia stared at the pregnancy test in her trembling hand,Two pink lines Clear,Unforgiving.
Final.
"No…" she whispered.
Her knees gave out, and she sank onto the cold bathroom floor, This couldn't be happening Not after that night,Not after him. Her chest tightened as memories flooded back—His laughter.
The humiliation,The broken ring She clenched her fists."How could I be so stupid…" she muttered.Tears rolled down her cheeks, but she wiped them away angrily.
No.
Crying wouldn't fix anything She had to think.Had to act,Had to survive.Her hand slowly moved to her stomach,There was a life growing inside her.
His child.
Adrian Knight's child. The most powerful man in the city,If he found out…Her breathing quickened.
"No," she said firmly. "He can never know."Because a man like Adrian didn't love.He controlled,He possessed,He destroyed.
And she would never let him destroy her child Never.
She stood up slowly, her expression hardening."I'll leave," she whispered."I'll disappear.""I'll raise this child on my own."But just as she picked up her phone—A news alert popped up.
"Adrian Knight rumored to be investigating a woman connected to his company."Amelia froze Her blood ran cold.He was already looking.
"He's… looking for me?"
