No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

The amusement park's grand opening and my own trending scandal had been the talk of the town for three days straight before the buzz naturally fizzed out.

In today's fast-paced digital age, new stories pop up daily, quickly overshadowing even the juiciest of dramas.

Those three days had been Haley's prime window to strike back, but she hadn't made a move.

Conrad was right; she didn't dare release the video.

Releasing it meant kissing goodbye to any leverage she had, rendering all her meticulous plans useless.

But she wasn't one to give up easily.

Yet, I hadn't anticipated her next move would be threatening to jump off a building.

I was chatting with Herschel in his hospital room when a nurse burst in, saying someone was attempting to jump from the rooftop.

Just hearing about it sent shivers down my spine.

"It's a pregnant woman. Maybe she's suffering from prenatal depression," the nurse speculated.

Right then, my phone rang. It was Conrad.

My heart skipped a beat. "Yeah?"

"Felicia, Haley's on the roof, threatening to jump," Conrad's voice was grave.

Frozen in place, I realized that despite Haley's history of dramatics, this was different. She was gambling with her life-and not just hers, but her unborn child's too.

Herschel was with me, and I was worried the news might upset him. But it looked like he already had an idea, and he gestured for me to sit down. "Where are you?" I asked Conrad.

"Almost at the hospital!"

I swallowed hard, "I'm with Herschel."

There was a brief silence on the line. "We can't keep this from my dad. Her choosing to do this at the hospital... she wants him to know."

"What are you going to do?" I had a hunch about Haley's motive.

She was desperate for a showdown with Conrad and the Wagner family.

"Let's see when I get there," Conrad hung up.

Herschel looked at me, "Is it Haley?"

His demeanor was calm, a stark contrast to his agitation during the celebration. It was as if he'd seen this coming.

I nodded slightly, "She's looking for a resolution today."

Anticipating Herschel's concern, I quickly added, "Conrad's on his way. Let him handle it. Please, don't get upset or involved."

Herschel's face was tense, his silence foreboding.

"Herschel, I'll go check on the situation," I said, leaving the room.

The ground floor was already packed with onlookers, and firefighters were setting up safety mats and airbags.

Such measures might save an ordinary person, but Haley was if

As the crowd buzzed, I saw Conrad being escorted by firefighters into the building. I lifted my eyes to the rooftop.

Perched on the edge of the

twenty-story building, Haley, in a

flowing white dress, was a scene straight out of a movie, her hair

billowing in the wind.

Despite everything, Haley always knew how to make an entrance, a tragic beauty with a tainted soul.

Looks decent enough, yet his up there ready to jump."

"A woman pregnant and seeking death... it's either a cheating husband or in-laws from hell."

"The woman's a fool. If the man really wanted her gone, her dramatics won't change a thing."

The murmurs around me were a harsh reminder of the cruelty of public opinion.

"Ah!"
