I carried a baby for my sister and her husband — the moment they saw her, they cried, "This is not the child we wanted," so I prepared an unforgettable lesson.

Claire finally turned back to me.

Her voice was low, like she didn't want the nurses to hear.

"We paid for a boy, Marianne.

That was the agreement."

I couldn't speak for a moment.

"Paid?

Claire, I'm your sister.

There was no agreement like that.

I carried this baby out of love."

Evan stepped forward.

"There are people involved in this arrangement who expected specific results.

This isn't just about us."

"What people?" I said.

"What are you talking about?"

Neither of them answered.

The baby made a small sound against my chest.

I looked down at her — this perfect, innocent little girl — and something inside me turned to stone.

"You need to hand her over," Claire said quietly.

"We'll sort out the paperwork and move forward."

"Move forward," I repeated.

"Marianne, please don't make this harder than it needs to be."

I looked at my sister — really looked at her — and realized I was seeing someone I didn't fully recognize.

Then my phone buzzed on the bedside table.

A message.

No name.

Just a number I didn't know.

*Don't let them take her.

You don't know what they planned.*

My hands went cold.

What Marianne found out next — about Evan, the "arrangement," and who sent that message — is far worse than anyone expected.
