"Jeff, help me." Flames were raging all around me as I clung desperately to the only safety rope. However, my husband of ten years, Jeff Lewis, pried my fingers off. He looked at me with pure impatience. "Winona, Sophie has severe asthma. She can't handle the smoke. You're a grown woman. Can't you save yourself? Stop using your pregnancy to compete for attention." Then he tied the safety rope around Sophie's dog and rushed out of the fire with her and her daughter, never once looking back. At that moment, the burning wreckage collapsed around me, and I lost our baby. What Jeff didn't know was that a private jet landed over the ruins that very night, and Beloris's richest man carried me out in his arms, his eyes red with fury. The next time Jeff and I met was at his awards ceremony.
