“How dare you talk back to me?” Vanessa barked, her voice loud and fierce. She turned towards her friends, her eyes fixed on Petra. “You two, hold her down!”

Vanessa pointed at Petra, and her friends immediately moved. They had been waiting for an excuse to get their hands on her.

Now that Vanessa had given them permission, they hurried forward with ugly smiles on their faces.

Petra saw them coming and tried to move away, but one girl caught her wrist while the other seized her free arm.

    Vanessa dropped to her knees in front of Petra, her face twisted with anger. She seized Petra by the cheeks and forced her head up, digging her fingers into her skin."Are you trying to be my stepmother?" Vanessa demanded, tightening her grip. "Who do you think you are?"Before Petra could answer, Vanessa flung her face aside. Petra's head turned sharply, and she winced as her cheek struck the floor. Around them, the guests stared in alarm. A few looked ready to intervene, but the sight of Vanessa's fury kept them rooted to the spot.Petra tried to draw a steady breath. Her arm was throbbing, and the fall had left her body aching. She pressed her free hand against her stomach, her expression changing as another pain gripped her."My stomach hurts," she whispered, curling slightly around herself. "Ah, please, I beg you. Please call an ambulance."Her voice was weak beneath the murmuring in the hall. She looked from one person to another, searching for someone who would take her serio

    “Mistress?” Eric repeated, momentarily unsure he had heard Vanessa correctly.He glanced towards Benjamin Shaw, who was seated across the table with the manager. The two men were still studying the project documents, unaware of the call. Eric lowered his voice and turned his back slightly.Eric was Benjamin’s personal assistant, a position he had held for several years. He handled the chairman’s schedule, important appointments and private business matters. He was also one of the few people Benjamin trusted to remain close whenever major projects were being discussed. He knew how carefully Benjamin guarded his reputation, and he knew there was only one woman he openly recognised as his wife.“Mr. Shaw has a clean record. He has never had any mistress,” Eric replied carefully. “He has only one wife, and I have never known him to be involved with another woman.”Even as he spoke, a thought troubled him. Why would Vanessa ask such a question at the annual party? And what would happen

    The bottle came down with a sickening force.Petra managed to wrench one arm free from the grip of Vanessa’s friends and threw it across her stomach, shielding her unborn child. The bottle struck her forearm instead. A sharp crack rang through the hall, followed by a chorus of frightened gasps."Ah!" Petra screamed, her body jerking from the impact.For a moment, she could not move. Pain shot from her wrist towards her elbow, and her fingers trembled uncontrollably. The bottle slipped from Vanessa’s hand and hit the floor, spilling the remaining wine across the polished tiles.The guests stepped back. One woman covered her mouth, while a man near the table stared at Petra’s arm in disbelief. They had watched the argument with interest, but the sound of the bottle hitting her had made the situation suddenly real.Petra barely noticed them. She pulled her injured arm close to her chest and immediately looked down at her stomach. Her other hand moved over the front of her gown, che

    The question hung over the hall, and for a moment, the noise around Vanessa Shaw faded. Several faces turned towards her. The man who had spoken looked uneasy, but he didn't take back his words.Vanessa's smile disappeared. She stared at him as though he had insulted her personally. Then she let out a short, mocking laugh and lifted her chin."No way. My dad is impotent, and besides, she claims she married my father. As his daughter, wouldn't I know if something like that happened?" Vanessa said, turning towards the crowd as if she needed to remind them who she was. "I know my own father better than any of you do."The people exchanged quick glances. A few nodded almost immediately, relieved to have an explanation that allowed them to keep believing her."That's true. How could we not know about such a grand event as Mr. Shaw's marriage?" another man interjected, nodding firmly. "Ms. Shaw is his only daughter. How could she not know?" he added, looking at the others for support."Th

    “Benjamin is your father?” Petra asked, her face frozen in disbelief.Vanessa stared at her as though the question itself was ridiculous. Then she bent her knees and squatted until their eyes were almost level.“Yeah, who else? Do you think I have another father?” she asked with a mocking smile. She pushed one finger against Petra’s shoulder. “As if he would be the father of your bastard child.”Petra flinched at the touch. The women holding her arms tightened their grip, keeping her seated on the floor. Her wet hair clung to her cheeks, and the wine on her gown had begun to soak through the fabric. She could hardly recognise the evening she had imagined only an hour earlier.Vanessa rose and took a step away, scoffing as she flipped her hair over her shoulder. She seemed pleased with herself, as though she had just delivered the final blow.Around them, the crowd had gone unusually still. Even those who had been laughing moments earlier were now watching closely. Some exchanged un

They dragged her towards the couch, but Petra resisted, trying desperately to keep her balance and protect her stomach. Their grip only became tighter. One of them shoved her shoulder, forcing her down until she landed on the floor.Her shawl slipped from her shoulders as she struggled. One of the women snatched it away and flung it several feet across th
