\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The baby\u2019s cries cut through the private jet like a knife.<\/b><\/p>\n

Not the normal cries of a tired infant.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

These were desperate.<\/p>\n

Painful.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The kind of cries that made every instinct in my body scream that something was terribly wrong.<\/p>\n

I sat four rows back, gripping the armrests so hard my fingers hurt. My name is\u00a0Nora Vance<\/b>, and for three months, I had been trying to convince myself I wasn\u2019t a mother anymore.<\/p>\n

My husband was dead.<\/p>\n

My twin boys were gone.<\/p>\n

The nursery in my Chicago apartment remained untouched, sealed behind a door I couldn\u2019t bring myself to open.<\/p>\n

But my body hadn\u2019t accepted any of it.<\/p>\n

My body still produced milk.<\/p>\n

And as the baby\u2019s cries echoed through the cabin, a familiar ache spread through my chest.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d I whispered to myself, closing my eyes. \u201cNot my child. Not my problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

I tried to ignore it.<\/p>\n

Then the crying changed.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It became weaker.<\/p>\n

Smaller.<\/p>\n

The sound every mother fears.<\/p>\n

My eyes snapped open.<\/p>\n

That baby wasn\u2019t just upset.<\/p>\n

She was starving.<\/p>\n

At the front of the aircraft sat\u00a0Leo Mercer<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Everyone in America knew his name, though few dared say it out loud.<\/p>\n

Business tycoon.<\/p>\n

Crime kingpin.<\/p>\n

Rumored mob boss.<\/p>\n

The kind of man who could make people disappear with a phone call.<\/p>\n

Six-foot-three, broad-shouldered, dressed in a charcoal suit that probably cost more than my monthly rent, he looked completely out of place doing the one thing he couldn\u2019t seem to manage.<\/p>\n

Holding his infant daughter.<\/p>\n

His tattooed hands trembled as he tried again to feed her.<\/p>\n

The bottle touched her lips.<\/p>\n

She turned away immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, sweetheart,\u201d he muttered, his voice cracking. \u201cPlease.\u201d<\/p>\n

The baby cried weakly.<\/p>\n

A flight attendant hovered nearby, looking terrified.<\/p>\n

Three bodyguards sat farther back, pretending not to watch.<\/p>\n

But everyone was watching.<\/p>\n

Nobody moved.<\/p>\n

Nobody spoke.<\/p>\n

For the first time in his life,\u00a0Leo Mercer<\/b>\u00a0looked powerless.<\/p>\n

I recognized that look.<\/p>\n

Grief.<\/p>\n

Fear.<\/p>\n

Helplessness.<\/p>\n

The emotions money couldn\u2019t fix.<\/p>\n

Before I realized what I was doing, I was already standing.<\/p>\n

Every head turned toward me.<\/p>\n

My heart pounded.<\/p>\n

One of the bodyguards instantly stepped into my path.<\/p>\n
