Nine months pregnant, I was sh0ved over an icy cliff by the husband who wanted to collect my $50 million life insurance payout. Later, he stood at the funeral everyone believed was mine, smiling beside his secret lover as though the money was already his. They believed I was dead… but I was still alive, barely clinging to survival, and determined to return and make him answer for what he had done.
I would later learn that at my funeral, my husband, Brandon Prescott, showed absolutely no sign of grief.
“They both froze out there,” he said without emotion. “That useless woman finally got what she deserved.”
Those words stayed with me because only a few hours before, I had been standing beside him at Glacier National Park in Montana, begging him to stop fighting with me and take me home.
The wind was vicious that day. Snow raced across the frozen ground, striking my face and slipping beneath my boots. I was nine months pregnant, completely exhausted, and carefully watching every step while Brandon kept pushing our argument closer and closer to the cliff’s edge.
I told him I wanted to go home.
Then he shoved me.
My feet suddenly lost contact with the ground. I reached desperately for a rock, a patch of ice, anything my fingers could grab. My scream was swallowed by the roaring wind as my body went over the edge.
Brandon remained high above me.
He looked down.
And he was smiling.
“Don’t worry,” he called out. “You and the baby won’t suffer for long.”
Then everything around me became white.
My body crashed onto a narrow ledge partway down the cliff. Agonizing pain ripped through me, but before I could even process what had happened, I wrapped both arms around my stomach.
“Stay with me,” I whispered. “Please, stay with me.”
Snow began covering my coat and catching in my hair. My fingers were slowly losing all feeling. Each breath seemed weaker than the one before it, while the tiny ledge beneath me felt as though it could barely support my weight.
At that moment, I wasn't fighting for my own life anymore.
I was fighting for my son.
Then I heard voices coming through the storm.
Brandon was still somewhere above me.
But he wasn't alone.
Gretchen, the woman he called his executive assistant, stood beside him.
“Is she dead?” she asked.
Brandon gave a quiet laugh.
“For fifty million dollars, she better be.”
Those words changed everything.
The freezing cold was terrifying, but discovering the truth was far worse. Brandon had planned the entire hiking trip. He had deliberately brought his nine-month-pregnant wife to an isolated cliff. While I had been worrying about getting our unborn baby home safely, he had been thinking about the insurance money waiting for him.
This wasn't a heated argument that accidentally went too far.
It wasn't an unfortunate accident.
Brandon and Gretchen had gone there expecting me to die.
Gretchen began complaining about how cold she was. Eventually, their voices became more distant until I could no longer make out what they were saying.
They left.
They simply walked away and left me beneath the falling snow on that narrow ledge.
For almost two hours, I drifted between consciousness and darkness. Whenever I felt myself slipping away, I pressed both hands against my stomach and forced myself to remain awake.
Then I felt something.
A tiny movement.
My baby was still alive.
So I took another breath.
Then another.
I counted each one.
Every time my eyes began closing, I forced them open again, even though every part of my body was begging me to stop fighting.
Then a beam of light moved across the snow.
For a moment, I thought I was hallucinating.
The light disappeared.
Then it came back.
This time, it remained focused on the cliff below me.
The sound of rotors suddenly broke through the storm. A black helicopter hovered over the ridge as a cable descended through the swirling snow.
Someone was coming down.
A rescuer wearing alpine gear slid down the cable, landed on the ledge on one knee, and immediately moved toward me.

Type SNOW and I'll continue.

PART 2
The rescuer came toward me carefully, keeping his weight low on the narrow ledge while the cable shifted wildly above him in the turbulent wind.
I tried to lift my head toward him, but my body refused to cooperate. My frozen lips barely moved as I forced out a tiny whisper.
“My baby,” I gasped out with every remaining ounce of energy. “Save my baby.”
“Hold on,...
Please type “SNOW” if you’re ready for the next part and I’ll send it right away. 👇👇
