He couldn’t believe it–she was willing to hurt herself just to protect James’s baby.
“Don’te any closer!” Lily shouted. She didn’t care that the sharp ss 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. You dragged me back here against my will, and even if I called the police, they’d probably just treat it like a messy breakup. You’d walk away without a scratch. But what if someone ends up dead? James and I aren’t officially divorced yet. I’m still his wife. So if I die in this house–if you push me too far–he won’t let it go. And neither will thew. You’ll pay for it with your life. Get away from me. Let me walk out of here. Because if you don’t, I swear to God, I’ll slit my own throat, and none of us will walk away from this.”
“Lily, put the ss down!” John’s voice cracked.
His eyes were wide with panic. He wanted to rush forward and grab it out of her hand, but he didn’t dare push her. If he moved too fast, she might really do it. She might cut deep. She might die.
And that fear stopped him cold.
In that moment, he hated her–hated the way she kept fighting him, no matter what.
Hated Jamés. Hated the bastard child she was carrying.
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 betrayed him. She’d hit him. And now she was threatening her life–for someone else’s child.
“I said back off!” Lily’s grip tightened even more. Blood streamed from her neck, vivid and horrifying against her pale skin. “Take one more step, John, and I swear–I’ll end this. I’ll take myself out right in front of you!”
“You’re really that into James?” John’s voice shook, caught between heartbreak and rage. His fingers clenched around the pill bottle so hard it almost cracked. “Lily, how could you throw me away like this?”
“You’re just my ex,” she snapped. “A pathetic creep who disgusts me. Who I love is none of your damn business.”
She kept moving backward until she reached the door.
The two men John had stationed outside looked at each other, unsure whether to stop her.
“Don’t touch her!” John barked. Stay away from her!”
<b>The </b>men quickly stepped back, and Lily finally made it out of his room.
<b>She </b>didn’t <b>even </b>bother grabbing her bag. She bolted down the stairs like her life depended on it.

He noticed the ss shard had drifted slightly from her neck while she ran. That was his chance.
He started moving toward her, nning to grab her, pin her arms, and force her to take the pills before she got any farther.
But just as he stepped forward, his phone rang sharply.
He nced down. Elsa.
Annoyance flickered across his face.
Still, remembering her condition, he answered, his voice cold. “What is it, Elsa?”
But it wasn’t Elsa’s voice on the other end.
“Are you out of your damn mind, John?” Simon’s voice exploded through the phone. “Lizzy’s seriously sick. She’s pregnant. And you left her alone at the hospital?! She passed out in the street. Someone found her and brought her back just in time. She nearly died. You forced yourself on her. You got her pregnant. The absolute least you could do is stay by her side and take care of her. If anything happens to her, I swear to God, you’ll pay for it.”
Elsa’s unconscious?
John didn’t want to <i>see </i>her. He didn’t care about her.
All he wanted was to get rid of the baby in Lily’s belly, lock her away, and keep her beside him forever.
But no matter how hard he tried to ignore it, he couldn’t erase what he’d done. Even if he didn’t want Elsa anywhere near his house… He couldn’t deny what happened that night. New Year’s Eve. He hadn’t just hit her–he’d forced himself on her. Something unforgivable.
Now she was sick, barely holding on. How could he just ignore that?
His chest tightened. A wave of panic hit. Finally, jaw clenched, he grabbed his keys and drove off toward the hospital Simon mentioned.
Lily couldn’t believe her luck.
She’d barely made it out of John’s house when she ran straight into Mathilda in the same neighborhood. Great. Just what <i>I </i>need<i>. </i>
Mathilda was just like john–relentless and mean, the kind of person whotched on and didn’t let go. Lily had no interest in getting dragged into another pointless mess, so she kept her eyes forward, pretended she didn’t see her, and picked up her pace..
But Mathilda had been tailing her all day. There was no way she was letting Lily walk away now.
