After two years behind the wheel, Cleo, a heavily pregnant taxi driver, had seen it all—from late-night partygoers to stressed businessmen. But on a rainy November night, her shift took a turn she didn’t expect. Her back ached, her baby kicked, and she just wanted to go home to her cat, Chester. Yet, when she spotted a young man stumbling along the road, injured and desperate, her instincts told her to stop.
He was bruised and bloodied, clearly running from something, and though danger loomed, Cleo couldn’t ignore him. Despite being eight months pregnant, she pulled over, unlocked her doors, and offered to take him to the hospital. The man climbed in, grateful but terrified. As they sped through the streets, she skillfully evaded the cars chasing them, using her knowledge of the city’s back roads.
After safely getting him to the hospital, Cleo thought nothing more of it. The next morning, her world shifted. A parade of SUVs appeared outside her home, and suited men knocked on her door. To her shock, the man she helped was the kidnapped heir of a billionaire family. Cleo had unknowingly thwarted a dangerous criminal ring. Grateful, the Atkinsons offered her a generous reward and a life-changing opportunity to work with their foundation.
