I turned. Rebecca was on the ground, clutching her stomach, her face twisted in horror.
"You pushed me! My baby! My baby!"
I froze. My mind went blank.
I moved toward her to help her up, but Sean came rushing in and shoved me aside. I hit the ground, and my vision flickered black.
Rebecca collapsed into his arms, sobbing so hard she could barely breathe.
"Sean, she saw that I'm pregnant and she pushed me..."
Sean lifted his head. His gaze found me, cold as steel.
"Elaine Cox. Five years ago you killed my child. Now you want to kill a second one?"
Agony ripped through my chest. I shook my head, desperate to deny it, but his palm had already connected with my face.
The force snapped my head sideways. My cheek burned white-hot, and a high-pitched ringing flooded my ears.
Sean held Rebecca in his arms, his eyes filled with nothing but disgust as he looked at me.
"Elaine, honestly? I don't think someone like you deserves to be alive."
I opened my mouth to speak, but my throat closed up like something was lodged inside it.
