TRADING SECRETS WITH MR CADE.

I'm dying, Stephen. Please... answer the phone."
Maude stared at her new phone, her heart racing. The voicemail was full of tears, but there was one problem:
Maude wasn't "Stephen."
She was just a baker with a new number and a strange feeling that she was holding a dead man's secrets.
Maude: "I found you, Mr. Cade. Your ex... she’s looking for you. She sounds desperate."
Stephen: (His voice cold as ice) "And who gave you the right to listen to my life? Take the message and disappear."
Maude: "I can’t. Because while you're playing the 'Ice King' in your office, someone is breathing their last breath calling your name!"
Stephen: (Steps closer, eyes dark) "You think you’re a hero? You’re just like me, Maude. You’re the one people call when their first choice isn’t available."
Two strangers. One phone. And a truth that will break them both: They were never anyone’s first choice—until they found each other.
