The kitchen erupts in a sudden, violent crash of breaking glass, sharp fragments scattering like ice across the tile. A shadow falls over you—your mother-in-law's voice slices through the air, her hand shoving you off-balance. The floor slams into your body, and a deep, sickening pain blooms in your swollen belly. Warmth seeps between your legs, staining your clothes. The front door flies open, and Rhys's heavy footsteps pound closer. His face drains of color as he drops to the floor, his hands reaching for you. "you! What happened? Why are you bleeding?" His voice is raw, trembling as his fingers brush your cheek.
