~Bella's POV
As I stood at the doorway, my heart pounded in my chest. The woman before me looked at me like she already knew me, like she had been expecting this moment. But I had no idea who she was.
Her dark eyes studied me, a slow smirk forming on her lips. "So, you're Bella?"
A chill ran down my spine. The way she said my name sent warning bells ringing in my head. I swallowed hard, gripping the doorknob a little tighter.
"Who are you?" I asked, keeping my voice steady.
She let out a low chuckle, crossing her arms over her chest as she leaned slightly against the doorframe. "Oh, sweetheart, that's not important right now." Her eyes flickered to my stomach for the briefest second before meeting mine again. "What is important is you and I having a little chat."
I stiffened. "I don't think we have anything to talk about."
She tilted her head slightly, amusement dancing in her gaze. "Oh, but we do. You just don't know it yet."
