Chapter 1 - The Shattered Glass
The grand ballroom of the Caldwell estate glittered beneath massive crystal chandeliers, surrounded by hundreds of high-society guests. In the middle of the floor stood Sabrina Vale in a sleeveless off-shoulder ivory gown, her diamond necklace sparkling. As little nine-year-old Lily stepped forward, Sabrina lunged aggressively to conceal a hidden glass vial in her pocket.
Before anyone could react, Grace Holloway, thirty years old and wearing a black-and-white maid uniform, sprinted across the polished marble. She launched herself into the air, executing a flawless taekwondo jump kick straight to Sabrina’s jaw. The impact echoed through the hall, sending Sabrina crashing violently onto the floor.
"Get your hands off her!" Grace shouted sharply, landing on her feet with perfect balance.
Gasps filled the ballroom as Ethan Caldwell, thirty-nine and wearing a dark navy suit, froze in absolute shock between them. Sabrina groaned in pain, clutching her bleeding lip as her luxury clutch popped open. A small medical syringe filled with clear liquid slid out and rolled right up to Ethan’s leather shoes.
