Chapter 1 - The FallThe scream tore through the mansion just after midnight.
Elena stood frozen on the marble balcony, one hand instinctively covering her pregnant belly as the wind whipped through her hair. Behind her, her aunt's face was twisted with a fury that no longer bothered hiding itself.
Then came the shove.
Elena's body went over the railing.

He launched himself forward, caught her wrist, and threw his entire body against the balcony floor. The impact nearly dislocated his shoulder, but he refused to let go.
Elena sobbed as he dragged her back to safety.
And as she collapsed against his chest, she whispered four words that changed everything.
"I found the envelope."
