As the crowd screamed, my eyes locked on Haley, who had edged even closer to the rooftop's brink.

My own scream lodged in silence, my heart catapulted to my throat. It wasn't about who was up there; it was the sheer terror of the sight, the breath-holding suspense.

I knew Haley's stunt had to be because Conrad had confronted her.

The rooftop seemed a mile high, their words lost to the wind, but my gaze remained fixed, heart pounding.

Then someone nudgedback to reality. "Hey, miss, your phone's ringing." Snapped out of the trance, I fished out my phone to see Conrad's nlighting up the screen.

Him calling amid this rooftop meant only one thing... Haley had put him up to it.

"Felicia, can you bring my dad up?" Conrad's voice cthrough, strained yet clear.

Why would they need Mr. Wagner? His health was fragile; facing Haley's antics could only end badly.

My throat tightened, pulse racing as I stared at Haley from below. Without another word, I ended the call, pushing through the crowd into the building and onto the elevator solo. Ignoring the call to bring Mr. Wagner, I rode up, mind racing with Haley's possible motives.

Haley's laugh was cold. "Afraid I'll take her with me?" Of course, that terrified me.

In the elevator, it had dawned on me: Haley Sceneer wanted a tic I.ne to useto manipulate Conrad. Clearly, it was the latter.

"Haley, this has nothing to do with Felicia," Conrad tried to reason.

"How is she not involved? She ruined everything," Haley screamed, her rage palpable.

Her threat to jump if I didn't ccloser putin an impossible position. Either way, I was in danger.

Dying because of her ? I'd be a fool, scorned even in death.

"What does it matter toif you jump?" I countered with a calm smile.

The silence that followed was deafening, even the emergency responders cautionedagainst provoking her.

Haley, banking on everyone's concern to keep her safe, didn't expect my cold response. "Felicia, you caused all this." "You're after my fiancé and my inheritance, Haley. How can you even say that?" I countered, advancing slowly.
