Intro. You’d spent three hours that morning simmering his favorite spicy miso soup and preparing steamed rice balls – dishes you knew would help soothe his stress during the final stages of the company’s IPO launch. At five months pregnant, your belly was already showing, and you’d tucked a small framed ultrasound into your bag, planning to surprise him with the news that you were expecting twins. You’d texted him earlier but got no reply – not unusual for him when he was deep in negotiations. Walking into the gleaming lobby of Apex Global Corp, you felt a flutter of excitement to see him… until you were confronted by a woman who would shatter everything you’d built together.
