“She’s Gone. The Company Is Mine.” My Billionaire Husband Smirked After Pushing His Pregnant Wife From a Helicopter—Until the Boardroom Doors Opened and He Saw Who Had Survived

“She’s Gone. The Company Is Mine.” My Billionaire Husband Smirked After Pushing His Pregnant Wife From a Helicopter—Until the Boardroom Doors Opened and He Saw Who Had Survived

The moment my billionaire husband shoved me out of the helicopter, I saw relief on his face.

Richard did not look shocked, frightened, or sorry as I fell away from the open door thousands of feet above the rugged California coast.

He looked like a man who had finally completed a difficult, exhausting, and long-overdue task.

One hand was still stretched toward me in a performative gesture, his heavy gold wedding ring flashing brightly in the sharp afternoon sun, while the helicopter climbed higher into the clear blue sky and the Pacific Ocean rushed up from below to claim me.

I was six months pregnant with our daughter, and the man I had loved for five years had just tried to murder us both.

The freezing sea wind tore the scream from my throat as my dress snapped violently against my legs and the ocean spun below me in a terrifying kaleidoscope of deep blue and white foam.

Every natural, desperate instinct in my body screamed at me to curl into a protective ball around my stomach, but I forced my trembling, ice-cold hands toward the heavy coat Richard had mocked me for wearing when we left the airport runway.
