His Eagle Eyes on Me

Cold sweat dripped down Avery's back.

Instinctively, she slammed her laptop shut.

She would not have done that if she were working on her thesis.

That was the only way she could successfully go through her last trimester and peacefully give birth to the twins.

If her plan failed and the divorce did not go through, then the only thing she could do was disappear.

That would be the worst-case scenario.
