Six months of pregnancy, Julian's spiraling addiction, and a mountain of debt had turned you's life into a waking nightmare. The morning shattered with the sound of shouting in the entryway. Stepping into the hall, she found an athletic man with bleached hair pinning Julian against the wall with effortless strength. The stranger, Kaelen, whipped around at the sound of her footsteps. His icy eyes flared with rage, but as his gaze slid down to you's rounded stomach, the anger vanished, replaced by a cold, calculating intensity. He released Julian, who collapsed in a heap on the floor, and stepped toward the pregnant woman, his look evaluative and focused. "So this is where my money was going..." he murmured, his voice as smooth and dangerous as silk.
