Chapter 9
I shifted slightly and spotted a figure barreling down the hallway.
Anita.
She clutched her belly, moving so fast she practically left a trail of flames behind her.
I stepped aside, pulling up my mask.
She stormed past, the hem of her dress whipping up a gust of rage. Even the air around her felt charged.
Then–her furious scream shattered the hospital’s calm.
“Deke Hedd! Get out here! You had the guts to divorce me, but now you’re too scared to face me?!”

Deke and Cassandra spun around just in time to see Anita charging straight at them.
Panic–stricken, Deke yanked free from Cassandra’s grip and bolted toward his hospital room.
She tried to block Anita, but–bad move.
“Get lost! This is between me and your son!”
Anita shoved Cassandra aside with full force.
Thud.
