She was waiting for Jade to lose her mind and snap like she had the last time.

But to her shock, Jade didn’t break. There wasn’t even a hint of rage on her face-just a cold, dead stare.
“If Hudson loves you so much, why haven’t you made him divorce me and marry you yet?”
Jade paused for a beat, then laid bare Amara’s pathetic motivations with surgical precision.
“You’re desperate to keep up your ‘innocent’ act for Hudson while trying to replace me. But he won’t let go, so you’ve decided to come after me instead.”
Amara’s expression flickered with panic.
“You-”
“Claiming the unloved one is the mistress is just a pathetic attempt to sugarcoat your own disgusting behavior.”
Jade’s voice was soft, but it carried an unshakeable, lethal weight.
“I’m telling you now-as long as I hold that marriage certificate, you are nothing but a cheap, hidden mistress who can’t stand the light of day!”
Whatever insults Amara had hurled at her, Jade threw them back with double the force.
She was usually mild-mannered, but she was done letting Amara Hoyt trample over her dignity.
Amara’s face turned a bruised shade of purple, her eyes full of a hatred so deep it looked like it could draw blood.
Jade didn’t wait for a rebuttal. She didn’t care what Amara had to say. She straightened her back and walked forward.
As they passed each other, Amara suddenly grabbed Jade’s wrist, her nails digging deep into
the flesh.
Pain flared, and just as Jade was about to fight back, Amara leaned in and hissed a poison-laced whisper into her ear.
“Cortney slammed into you the other day. How did that not knock that little bastard out of

you? If it were dead, would you still be standing here acting so high and mighty?”
Jade’s struggle stopped instantly as she whipped her head around to stare at Amara.
“Cortney hitting me that day… was your idea?”

Amara’s lips curled into a sickening, triumphant smirk, her grip on Jade’s arm tightening further.
“It was. Too bad she’s so small. She didn’t hit you hard enough to kill that little mistake in your womb.”
Hearing Amara admit to trying to murder her child, a white-hot rage ignited in Jade’s chest, scorching her from the inside out.
Amara looked at Jade with a look of pure, gloating arrogance.
“Keep restraining yourself. I know you won’t touch me. If you do, Hudson-”
Slap-Jade’s wrist flicked with blinding speed, tearing free and delivering a resounding blow across Amara’s face.
Amara was paralyzed with shock. Before she could scream, Jade grabbed a fistful of her hair and shoved her head into the decorative fountain.
“Glug, glug-”
The sudden suffocation hit Amara like a wall, sending her into a frantic, splashing struggle.
“Glug-glug-glug—”
Just as Amara felt the darkness closing in and thought she was going to drown, Jade yanked her back out of the water.
“Cough, cough, cough-”

Amara collapsed onto the wet pavement, gasping for air and looking like a drowned rat.
Jade stared down at her, her fists trembling with the force of her suppressed fury.
“Amara, I don’t care how you found out I’m pregnant. But if anything happens to my because of you, I will personally drag you to hell with me!”

The baby was her one and only bottom line.

Since she had chosen to bring this life into the world, she would kill anyone who tried to stop
her!
Amara finally caught her breath and clutched her chest, her eyes burning with resentment.
“You’ll regret this! Once Hudson finds out what you’ve done, he’ll never forgive you!”
To hear a mistress use her own husband as a threat made Jade let out a cold, hollow laugh.
