No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

The amusement park's grand opening and my own trending scandal had been the talk of the town for three days straight before the buzz naturally fizzed out.

In today's fast-paced digital age, new stories pop up daily, quickly overshadowing even the juiciest of dramas.

Those three days had been Haley's prime window to strike back, but she hadn't made a move.

Conrad was right; she didn't dare release the video.

Releasing it meant kissing goodbye to any leverage she had, rendering all her meticulous plans useless.

But she wasn't one to give up easily.

Yet, I hadn't anticipated her next move would be threatening to jump off a building.

I was chatting with Herschel in his hospital room when a nurse burst in, saying someone was attempting to jump from the rooftop.

Just hearing about it sent shivers down my spine.

"It's a pregnant woman. Maybe she's suffering from prenatal depression," the nurse speculated.

Right then, my phone rang. It was Conrad.

My heart skipped a beat. "Yeah?"

"Felicia, Haley's on the roof, threatening to jump," Conrad's voice was grave.

Frozen in place, I realized that despite Haley's history of dramatics, this was different. She was gambling with her life-and not just hers, but her unborn child's too.

I was worried the news might upset him. But it looked
