The billionaire's secret baby
She gave him one unforgettable night.
He gave her everything… except his name.
Thrown into the cold streets by her abusive mother, eighteen-year-old Ava finds fleeting comfort in the arms of a stranger, a mysterious man with storm-gray eyes who makes her feel wanted for the first time in her life. But by morning, he's gone, vanishing without a trace… and leaving her pregnant and alone.
Two years later, Ava’s life is a brutal cycle of survival, scraping by with her toddler son, Eli, dodging eviction, and praying for a miracle. That miracle comes in the form of a high-paying job at Blackwood Enterprises. There’s just one problem...
Her new boss? Liam Blackwood. Billionaire. Ruthless CEO. And Eli’s father.
When Liam discovers the shocking truth, he demands answers, a paternity test and control. But Ava is no longer the fragile girl he once held in his arms. She’s a mother. A fighter. And she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her son… even if it means going to war with the most powerful man she’s ever loved.
But someone is watching. Threatening.
And they’ll stop at nothing to destroy everything Ava’s fought to rebuild.
Will she lose the man she fears, and secretly desires? Or will the truth about that night cost her the only family she’s ever known?

Chapter: Chapter Forty Nine: The Truth About EliAVAChaos swallowed the ICU whole. Alarms screamed from every bed. Nurses and doctors rushed to evacuate patients as Victoria's poison spread through the ventilation system. Parents clutched their sick children, crying, demanding answers no one could give.And my son—my Eli—was seizing on the hospital bed, his small body convulsing as monitors shrieked warnings."We need to move him!" a doctor shouted over the noise. "Get him to the ambulance bay!""Wait!" Agent Torres grabbed the doctor's arm, her phone pressed to her ear. "I've got someone from the CDC on the line. They're saying.." She went pale. "Oh God.""What?" Liam demanded, standing on the other side of Eli's bed. His burns wept through his bandages, but he didn't seem to notice. "What is it?"Torres put the call on speaker. A woman's crisp voice filled the space between alarms. "This is Dr. Patricia Wells, CDC Special Pathogens. I've reviewed the genetic markers in the child's bloodwork. Where did you get this sample?""From

Chapter: Chapter Forty Eight: Trust No OneLIAMThe police helicopter touched down on Memorial's rooftop thirty seconds after Ava's chaotic landing. I stumbled out before the skids fully settled, my burns screaming in protest, my vision blurring from pain and medication."Eli!" I shouted over the dying rotor wash. "Where's my son?"A nurse rushed over, trying to guide me toward a wheelchair. "Mr. Blackstone, you need treatment. Your burns..""Where is my family?" I shoved past her, heading for the rooftop door.Inside, the corridors were controlled chaos. Doctors and nurses rushed past, and overhead speakers blared codes and room numbers. I grabbed the first person in scrubs I saw, a young resident with tired eyes."Four-year-old boy, just brought in by helicopter. Digoxin poisoning. Where?""Trauma Three, but sir, you can't just.."I was already running. My hospital gown flapped open in the back, my bandages pulled and leaked, but I didn't care. Down the corridor. Through double doors. Following the signs for Trauma.I burst

Chapter: Chapter Forty Seven: Sky High StakesAVATime stopped. The pilot's gun was pointed at my chest, his finger on the trigger. Behind me, the paramedic continued chest compressions on my dying son. Above us, the medical helicopter circled uselessly, unable to land.Derek raised his hands slowly, blood seeping through his shirt. "Let's talk about this. Whatever they're paying you..""This isn't about money." The pilot's accent was thick, Russian maybe. "This is about loyalty. Anna saved my sister from men who would have killed her. I owe her everything.""Anna is dead," I said, my voice shaking but loud enough to carry over the rotor noise. "You're killing a child to honor a murderer.""I'm honoring a debt."The paramedic's voice cracked with desperation. "Ten minutes! His heart has been stopped for ten minutes!"Something inside me snapped. I'd watched my son be drugged, kidnapped, nearly sold for his organs, and poisoned. I'd fought monsters, survived psychiatric imprisonment, and crawled through fire. I was not going to wa

Chapter: Chapter Forty Six: Racing DeathDEREKPain was nothing new to me. Two years undercover had taught me to push through bullet wounds, broken ribs, and worse. But climbing out of that ambulance with a gunshot wound in my chest, held together by nothing but kevlar and sheer stubbornness, might have been the stupidest thing I'd ever done."Agent Morrison, you need medical attention!" the paramedic shouted as I stumbled toward the police motorcade forming up behind the ambulances."That kid needs it more." I grabbed the radio from the nearest patrol car, ignoring the officer's protests. "This is FBI Special Agent Derek Morrison, badge number 7-7-4-2-9. I need immediate clearance for emergency transport to Memorial Hospital. Priority one."The radio crackled. "Agent Morrison, this is Dispatch. We're coordinating..""Coordinate faster!" I snapped, watching Ava's ambulance ahead. Through the back windows, I could see the paramedic performing chest compressions on Eli. The monitor's flat-line was visible even from here. "We'v

Chapter: Chapter Forty Five: The Price of Freedom AVAThe world narrowed to the rhythm of my hands on Liam's chest. One. Two. Three. Four. Press. Release. Press. Release."Come on," I whispered, my voice cracking. "Don't you dare leave us now."Eli clung to my leg, his small body trembling. The smell of smoke filled the pediatric ward, and through the window, I could see flames beginning to lick up the walls of the east wing. Victoria's final act of vengeance was consuming the hospital, and we had maybe six minutes left.One. Two. Three. Four.Liam's lips were blue. His chest wasn't rising on its own. The electrical shock from the defibrillator had saved us from the locked room, but it might have killed him in the process."Mommy?" Eli's voice was so small, so frightened. "Is Daddy sleeping?""He's going to be okay, baby," I lied, pumping harder. My arms screamed with exhaustion, but I couldn't stop. Wouldn't stop.Derek groaned from the corner where he'd been shot. Blood pooled beneath him, spreading across the white tile. "Ava," he

Chapter: Chapter Forty Four: Lockdown LIAMThe morphine drip in my arm was supposed to keep me unconscious. Three days post-surgery for third-degree burns, and the doctors wanted me sedated while my body healed. But when Victoria's voice echoed through the hospital intercom, announcing that we were all going to die, the adrenaline cut through the drugs like a knife."Explosive devices have been planted throughout the building. They will detonate in thirty minutes..."Thirty minutes.Ava and Eli were five floors below me. In the pediatric ward. Trapped.I ripped the IV from my arm, ignoring the sharp pain and the blood that started flowing. My back screamed in agony as I swung my legs off the bed, every movement pulling at the burned skin and surgical staples holding me together."Mr. Blackstone, you can't.." A nurse rushed toward me, but I was already standing, swaying but upright."My family is downstairs. I have to get to them.""Sir, you've had major surgery. You need to stay in bed.."The lights flickered. Once. Twice
