“Megan, how are you feeling lately?” Yolanda asked.

She couldn’t help but wonder if Greg had really stopped causing trouble. Guys like him don’t change overnight. But now that Megan was pregnant–and with hormones in the mix–she was even more glued to him than before.

Megan was quiet for a few seconds before she replied, sounding totally content. “He’s been home with me. every day. Is the studio giving you any trouble?”

“Not really. Ian isn’t blowing up yet, so it’s not like there’s a ton happening. Charles handed me Starlight Entertainment, so I’ll go over and take charge when I get the chance. Is Greg with you right now?”

“Nope, he went out to get me some tofu pudding. I just suddenly had a craving for it.”

“Okay, just make sure to look after yourself. By the time your baby comes, I’m sure our studio will be running like clockwork,” Yolanda said.

past five years, the

company’s luck had completely tanked–no fresh talent, no rising stars, just fading glory. These days, the only buzz was the gossip floating around about how Starlight survived by slapping outrageous breach–of–contract fees on rookie talent. They’d bait naïve newcomers into signing, squeeze every drop out of them, and if anyone dared push back, those mind–boggling fees would snap their backbone in an

instant.

After hanging up, Yolanda decided to head to the hospital to bring William back to the orphanage. His health was slowly improving, but staying at the hospital while worrying about the kids was actually slowing down his

recovery.

She drove into the parking lot, but before she could even get out of her car, she spotted a man wearing a mask lurking nearby, looking suspicious.

The last argument she’d had with Greg was still fresh in her mind. She was almost sure it was him.
