EMILY’S POV

The doctor’s voice is calm as she lists the precautions I need to take. “You need to avoid stress, Emily. Your body is already under a lot of strain. Make sure you get plenty of rest and avoid any sudden emotional shocks. Stress isn’t good for the baby”

Avoid stress. If only it were that simple.

I nod and force a small smile, though inside, my heart is pounding. As soon as the doctor leaves, I exhale shakily, placing a protective hand over my stomach. I’m determined to do whatever it takes to keep my baby safe.

His arm always reached for me even in his dreams. And I’d remember that we made it. We were safe.I stepped outside that morning. The warm sun kissed my skin, and I heard it, the loud sound of our daughters’ giggles.The sight before me made my heart swell.Carlos was in the garden, kneeling down in the grass. Both of our little girls climbed all over him. Our eldest, Isabella, was five now. She wss so smart, so full of energy, with Carlos’ mischievous smile and my eyes.

    Emily’s POVThe gun fell to the marble floor during the struggle. It spun once before stopping near my feet.For a second, I just stared at it, frozen. My hands trembled. My body was stiff with terror. The screams and gunfire around me blurred into white noise. All I could hear was the pounding of my heart, the rush of blood in my ears.And then I saw him... Alexander.His cold smile. His gun aimed at Carlos.Something inside me snapped.I dropped to my knees. I grabbed the weapon. The metal felt cold, heavy, too heavy for my shaking hands. My breaths came in ragged gasps.“Emily!” Carlos’ mother’s voice shrieked from across the room. “No, don’t do it! Please, don’t!”But Alexander’s laughter cut through her cries. “Oh, how delicious,” he sneered. His voice was mocking. He tilted his head, eyes narrowing at me like I was a fascinating toy. “Go on. Do it. Prove you’re more than his fragile little doll.”His words stabbed into me. I wasn’t a fighter. I wasn’t a killer. But I was tired

    Emily’s POVThe world stopped the moment Lina pulled the gun.Her hands trembled, but her eyes burned with pure hatred as she aimed the weapon directly at Carlos and me. Gasps broke out from the guests. I could hear the orchestra’s violins screech to a halt. The musicians stumble away from their instruments. Panic spread through the hall. Women clutch their pearls. Men cursed under their breath. Children cried as mothers dragged them toward the exits.And in the middle of it all, Carlos stepped in front of me.“Stay behind me,” he growled. His arm shot out to push me back. .“Carlos” my voice cracked. My heart slammed against my ribs as I stared at the barrel pointed at us.“Shut up, Emily. Don’t move,” he whispered without looking at me. Lina hissed “You ruined everything! Both of you! Do you think I’d let you walk into happily ever after while I’m left with nothing?!”Before she could squeeze the trigger, a gunshot exploded from the side hall.The sound was deafening, making my e

    EMILY’S POVThe chandeliers sparkled like thousands of captured stars. The air was filled with the smell of roses. Music played.I gripped my grandmother’s hand tightly. Every step down the aisle felt both surreal and terrifying. I could feel hundreds of eyes on me. Everyone gasped in awe, but none of it mattered when I lifted my eyes and met his.Carlos.He stood at the altar, tall and impossibly handsome in his black suit. His broad shoulders were square. His chin was lifted with pride, but his eyes, those warm, dark eyes, were locked only on me. His eyes were filled with love.“Steady now,” my grandmother whispered beside me, squeezing my hand.I smiled through the veil in front of me. “I’m okay,” I murmured.As we reached the altar, my grandmother kissed my cheek and placed my hand in Carlos’.“You’re breathtaking,” he whispered softly, leaning close so only I could hear. “You look so beautiful.”Heat flooded my cheeks. “You’re not so bad yourself,” I teased back.Daniel, standing

Again!I laugh as I place my palm over my belly, where my little one shifts as if she can sense my excitement. Tears prick my eyes before I even speak.“We’re getting married today, little one,” I whisper. “Your daddy is waiting for us.”The baby doesn’t answer, of course, but the small movement inside me feels like she can hear me. I smile so wide my cheeks hurt. I feel so blessed.Just then, my door bursts open.“Emily!”“Bride-to-be!”Helen and Bridget rush in, squealing so loudly I can’t help but laugh.

    CARLOS’ POVThe morning starts like every other. I had my daily routine. But I should’ve known the day was going to take a turn the moment Sarah walked beside me with an urgent look on her face. Her eyes were fixed on the iPad in her hands.“Sir” she says, scrolling. “There’s a potential deal coming across our table that could open new distribution channels. I’ve scheduled the meeting in Conference Room Three. The terms look favorable on paper.”I frown. “Who’s the client?”“An investment firm. They’re keeping the lead negotiator’s identity quiet until the meeting,” she answers,.That already makes my skin crawl. Deals that hide too much up front never end well. Still, I nod. “Fine. Let’s see what they have to offer.”I push open the glass door of the meeting room minutes later with Sarah trailing behind me. The place feels… wrong. It’s too quiet. The air is heavy for some reason. I scan the long table, the clean rows of chairs, the untouched water glasses. Everything looks normal but
