The elevator doors slid open.

Leo Martinez stepped out and walked straight to Mia Carter’s side. “Ms. Hale, Mrs. Bennett. Mr. Hale has urgent business with Ms. Carter.”

Whatever it is can wait. We’re taking her to the hospital right now,” Miranda Hale snapped.

Sandra Bennett didn’t even care what Leo had said. She reached out, trying to grab Mia’s other hand.

Leo blocked her move with practiced ease, smoothly prying Sandra’s fingers off Mia’s arm.

‘Mr. Hale needs to see Ms. Carter immediately. I’ll take her up now.”

He stood like a shield in front of Mia, giving her a subtle, secret wave behind his back.

Mia didn’t hesitate. She turned and slipped back into the elevator.

Get out of the way!” Miranda tried to reach for the elevator buttons to stop her from going up, but Leo held his ground firmly, blocking her path.

The doors slowly slid shut. As the elevator ascended toward the top floor, Mia was left alone in the cramped space. She looked down at her slightly protruding belly, her brow furrowing into a tight knot.

She was running out of time. The risk of her pregnancy being discovered was growing every day.

Ten minutes earlier, in the CEO’s office.

Grandma Hale slammed her hand on the desk, berating Ethan Hale. “Can’t you see that your mother and the

Bennetts can’t stand Mia?!

Can you think about anything besides work for once? If you’re going to get engaged to Chloe Bennett, you houldn’t keep your ex-wife by your side!”

Ethan sat there with a cold, indifferent expression. As he listened to his grandmother’s lecture, the lines of his >row tightened.

Fine. If you’re going to keep her here, you have to protect her. All the trouble she’s facing was brought on by you!” Grandma Hale slammed the desk again.

Lila Hale stood behind her, gently rubbing her grandmother’s chest to help her breathe. She nodded toward Ethan. Grandma’s right!”

No matter what they said, Ethan kept his eyes lowered, his lips pressed into a thin line.

You’re not even half the man that Rivers boy is,” Grandma Hale huffed.

Lila immediately chimed in. “Chloe’s fall wasn’t an accident. Jaxon Rivers never once doubted Mia. He’s already started an investigation. But you? You only have eyes for Chloe. You don’t care if Mia lives or dies.”

‘She’s doing perfectly fine without my help,” Ethan said, his voice turning icy at the mention of Jaxon Rivers.

With Jaxon backing her up, what are you two so worried about?”

Grandma Hale was so angry she swung a fist, punching him square in the shoulder. “Is that any way to talk? If Mia oses so much as a single hair, I’m holding you responsible!”

Ethan didn’t dodge. He took the blow in silence.

The old woman was frail; the punch didn’t hurt. But Lila’s words had cut deep, stinging like a blade to the heart.

A knock sounded at the door, followed by Mia’s voice. “Mr. Hale.”
