He couldn’t believe it–she was willing to hurt herself just to protect James’s baby.

“Don’t come any closer!” Lily shouted. She didn’t care that the sharp glass had already sliced through her palm–she gripped it tighter anyway. In one sudden motion, she dragged it across her neck again, leaving a fresh, clean cut. “This is my baby. I’m the one carrying it. I’m the only one who gets to decide what happens. John, you don’t have any right to hurt my child! I know you’re rich now, powerful, untouchable.

For years, he’d been her entire world. He knew it. Nothing mattered more to her than him.

She’d risked her life more than once just to save his.

But the moment James entered the picture, everything changed.

She’d hit him. And now she was threatening her life–for someone
