Vanessa stepped closer.
“He said you couldn’t even give him a child without turning it into a tragedy.”
Khloe’s eyes filled with tears.
But she did not lower her head.
“At least I never had to steal another woman’s life to feel valuable.”
Something inside Vanessa broke.
Her hands shot forward.
Khloe’s beige folder flew from her grasp.
Legal papers exploded into the air.
And before anyone could reach her, Khloe fell backward down the white marble staircase.
At the bottom, Harrison dropped beside her.
“Khloe! Look at me!”
Her fingers clutched his jacket.
“The baby…”
Then her eyes closed.
As emergency sirens approached, Harrison slowly looked toward the top of the steps.
Vanessa stood frozen.
Richard stood beside her.
Neither of them moved.
But one person in the crowd had recorded everything.
Including what Richard whispered to Vanessa seconds before the shove.
“Make her stop before she takes everything.”
