Chapter 1 / 8
Chapter 1 - The Peril on the BalconyThe grand foyer of the Vance estate was bathed in a brilliant shaft of afternoon sunlight pouring through the arched high windows. From the second-story balcony railing, a young blonde woman slipped, her terrified scream piercing the air as she lost her grip and plunged backward into the empty space.
Down below, a housemaid in a crisp black-and-white uniform gasped in horror, her hands flying to her mouth.
At that exact moment, Christian Vance—dressed in a crisp white shirt and dark trousers—raced down the grand marble staircase, leaping forward onto his knees with his arms outstretched just as the young woman fell. With incredible reflexes, Christian caught her mid-air, spinning to absorb the momentum and cradling her safely against his chest.
The woman, breathing heavily and trembling violently, looked up into his eyes, her heart racing as the echoes of the fall faded into absolute stillness. Christian looked down at her with a fierce, protective intensity, his jaw tight as he slowly lowered her feet to the marble floor.
