In a blur of motion, Mia’s hand lashed out blindly, her fingers locking onto the railing.

The momentum yanked her arm painfully, but her swaying body remained suspended. She hadn’t fallen-not yet.

But her center of gravity was dragging her down. As she struggled to stabilize herself, she looked down and saw Chloe falling perfectly into Ethan’s arms.

Ethan looked frantic with worry, his dark eyes fixed entirely on Chloe.

Miranda and Sandra rushed over from the VIP section, and a crowd immediately swarmed the couple.

No one saw Mia clinging to the railing in a desperate, undignified mess, on the verge of tumbling down the flight of stairs at any second.

Mia’s strength was failing. She was running on nothing but pure willpower.

A dozen stone steps. If she rolled down now, what would happen to the baby?

She tried to scream for help, but her heart was in her throat, choking the sound before it could leave her lips.

Her bloodless hands gripped the railing, beginning to tremble.

She watched her fingers slowly slip. She tried to tighten her grip, but she had nothing left. Finally, her strength jave out. Her hands let go, and her body fell backward uncontrollably.

Mia closed her eyes as a single tear escaped.

she had imagined the custody battles if Ethan found out. She had imagined losing to him and never being allowed o see her child.

But she had never imagined she wouldn’t be able to keep the baby at all.

Ethan had already carried Chloe away. From start to finish, he never once looked back at her.

The crowd had dispersed. From up here, the hall looked vast and hollow.

A wave of delayed terror washed over her. A bone-deep chill, colder than any winter ice, settled in her chest.

You scared the hell out of me.”

Mia’s

flickered as she turned to look at him. She finally realized her savior was Jaxon.

‘Don’t mention it. Saving a life brings good karma. I saved two today, so I’m really racking up points for myself.”

Seeing her pale face and ragged breathing, Jaxon tried to lighten the mood. But when he saw she wasn’t relaxing at all, his smile faded.

Are you hurting anywhere? Do we need to go to the hospital?”

No.” Mia shook her head slowly. “I didn’t fall. The baby is fine.”

She placed her hand on her lower abdomen, feeling the warmth there. Her heart finally began to settle.

Well, this engagement is definitely ruined,” Jaxon said, studying her expression. “What exactly happened back here?”
