"Ms. Scott, is the child really Mr. Hamilton's?"

Before Nadine could even lift her head, a barrage of sharp questions were hurled

at her. Each one felt like a landmine.

Desperate to get the scoop, the reporters pressed closer to her like a pack of

wolves closing in on prey. It was as if they wouldn't stop until they devoured her

Alone and overwhelmed, Nadine stood no chance against the relentless crowd.

Microphones were shoved in her face, and someone even accidentally jabbed
