Chapter 61

*BRIANNE’S POV*

The world seemed to collapse around me. The words echoed in my mind, a painful mantra that I couldn’t escape. My knees felt weak, and I stumbled back a few steps, feeling as if the floor had been ripped out from under me. My breaths became heavy and ragged, and I could hardly comprehend the weight of what I had just heard.

I stared blankly at Janette. The weight of her words hung in the air, pressing down on my chest until it became almost unbearable.

‘Amelia?...pregnant…with Jordyn’s child?

I blinked, trying to make sense of it, but it felt like the ground beneath me was falling away, leaving me in a freefall with no sense of direction. My heart pounded in my chest, loud and erratic, as if it too was struggling to understand what I had just heard. The air felt too thick, as though I couldn’t get enough oxygen, no matter how hard I tried to breathe.

Amelia…Jordyn’s ex. The woman I had only heard about, never truly seen as a threat—until now. How could she be pregnant?
