Mark's first shock turned into anger. His eyes were burning with a ra--ge Clara had never seen. He listened with a look of shock and disg--ust. Clara held her breath, waiting for the exp--losion she knew was coming.
When Mark finally spoke, his voice was cold, and his words cut like a kn--ife. "Get out," he said in a low, dang--erous voice. "Both of you. I never want to see either of you again."
Clara’s world fell apart. Her heart broke with a deep pain. The last thing she saw was Rachel’s proud, mean smile as she was pushed out into the cold, heavy rain. The house that had once been her safe place was now a pri--son she could never go back to.
Rachel, not bothered by Mark's an--ger, put her arm over Clara's shoulder. A cruel smile was on her lips.
Clara’s thoughts spun like the storm as Rachel led her to a small cottage on the edge of town, a place Rachel had apparently gotten ready for them.

Rachel spoke in a soft voice, but Clara’s mind was a storm of feelings. She was caught between anger and sadness, love and ha--te.
But she could not bring herself to leave Rachel, not now, when their lives were so tied together by the child she carried.
As they moved into their new home, Clara wondered what kind of future was waiting for them—a future built on lies and her broken dreams?
In the months that followed, Clara’s belly grew, a daily reminder that Rachel had won. Rachel took care of her every need, but Clara couldn't stop feeling like a pris--oner, like a toy in Rachel's twisted game.
Rachel enjoyed her new power. Her eyes shone with happiness when Clara pulled away from her touch.
But there were also soft moments, when Rachel would stroke Clara's hair and whisper sweet things to her.
These moments made Clara’s decision to ha--te her weaken. She knew Rachel was pois--onous, a snake in their perfect home, but she couldn't stop the warmth she felt when Rachel looked at her with something that looked like love.
The ten--sion between them grew, like a pot about to boil over. Clara’s an--ger grew every day, but so did her love for the child inside her. Rachel had taken everything from her—her home, her husband, her self-respect—but Clara was ready to give this innocent life the best she could, even if it meant being tied forever to the woman who had ruined her happiness.
As the baby's birth date got closer, Clara made a silent promise to protect her child, no matter what.
The dark clouds of their past hung over them, but Clara held on to the hope that she could still make a future filled with love for her unborn child.
But the road ahead was full of problems, and Clara knew she would have to face them with the strength of a mother lion protecting her baby.
Rachel's games and control never stopped, and Clara was starting to realize that getting away from her would be much harder than she had ever imagined.
