The city was alive, but no one saw her fall.It was early afternoon—just busy enough for the sidewalks to be crowded, but not enough for anyone to truly look. The café-goers chatted over cappuccinos. The businessmen stared at their phones. Couples walked hand in hand. And she—Clare Whitmore—sat alone on the cold concrete, clutching her pregnant belly with one hand and the edge of a trash bin with the other. Her breath was short. Her legs had given out minutes earlier—seven and a half months along, alone for only an hour. Her driver had dropped her off two blocks early…

He provided everything Maya could need: a private chef, therapists, tutors, and a live-in nanny he trusted to watch her when…

It hit the marble floor of the mansion’s kitchen with a wet smack, water sloshing everywhere.
