‘Fine!” Sandra snapped, standing up and pointing at Mia. “Miranda, no wonder you haven’t been able to give me a satisfactory answer regarding her. She’s like a stone in a latrine-foul-smelling and stubborn!”

Her words made Miranda feel a flush of shame, as if she’d been slapped. How could she possibly be unable to

handle Mia?

‘You’re choosing the hard way, Mia. You brought this on yourself.”

Miranda stood up, pulled a photograph from her pocket, and threw it at Mia.

‘If

you

don’t want the orphanage to disappear, do exactly as we say!”

The photo was a group shot of everyone at the orphanage.

Mia was only fifteen or sixteen in the photo, her face youthful and innocent, but her beauty was already evident. She and Nina stood on either side of Aunt May, with all the other children gathered around them.

The orphanage was small and barely known in Northbrook. With Miranda’s resources, making it disappear without a trace would be effortless.

Sandra’s eyes darted around before she asked, “So… is she staying at Bayview?”

Miranda’s expression soured, likely remembering something unpleasant. “We’ll deal with that after this is settled ”

Then you’re coming with me!” Sandra snapped. She could tell that Mia’s employment wasn’t something Miranda could easily decide.

Her frustration flared, and her tone toward Mia became even harsher.

Mia stood frozen, a flicker of hope rising in her heart as she tried to think of a way to turn the situation around.

But Sandra didn’t give her the chance. Seeing Mia standing still, she grabbed Mia’s wrist and yanked her out of the meeting room.

Mia stumbled, her hand instinctively moving to protect her belly.

The movement made Sandra freeze. Her sharp eyes landed instantly on Mia’s midsection.

Mia was wearing denim overalls over a white shirt. The outfit made her look a bit bulky, even though her limbs were still slender.
