You Dumped Me, Now Watch Me (The last call)
“Tristan… stop… I’m preg—” The word dissolved into a moan as he curled his fingers and drove them harder.
“Already dreaming about spreading your legs for him, huh?”
He didn’t hear her. Or he didn’t care.
(Tell him. Just say it. But if I do… will he keep me only because of the baby? Or will he hate me more for tying him down?)
“Was that why you were so desperate to get away?” He sped up his rhythm, driving his fingers faster and harder until the room echoed with wet, slapping sounds, and her slickness dripped down her thighs.
“I'm going to fix you.”
—Tristan Cole gave Lyra Quinn three things on the day he ended their marriage: divorce papers, another woman’s hand in his, and a lifetime of regret waiting to happen.
He didn’t know Lyra was carrying his child.
He didn’t know the woman he called “too much” was the city's most sought-after crisis negotiator—the woman billion-dollar companies called when they were on the verge of collapse.
And he certainly didn’t know that walking away from her would place her in the path of Laurent Crawford, the ruthless billionaire whose empire is falling apart.
Laurent needs Lyra to save his company.
Lyra needs the job to rebuild her life.
Neither expects the dangerous attraction that grows between them.
But when the crisis threatening Laurent’s empire begins reaching into Lyra’s own past, she realizes someone has been playing a much bigger game than either of them knew.
Tristan threw away the woman he couldn’t appreciate; Laurent knows better.
But loving Laurent may cost her everything.
And this time, The Last Call has nowhere left to run.

Chapter: Chapter 6: The DealThe Helios Holdings tower cut into the sky like a monolithic blade—a monument built of glass, steel, and old money that practically screamed power and authority. It was the kind of architecture that forced people to lower their voices without being told.“Thank you,” Lyra muttered to the cab driver. She paid the fare, grabbed her single suitcase, and stepped out onto the sidewalk, looking up at the towering structure.She swallowed hard against the tight knot in her throat, deeply uncertain of what fate held for her inside those doors. She had spent six years closing multi-million-dollar deals in high-rise boardrooms like this for Tristan. Now, she was walking into one for herself—with nowhere else to go, and a child she hadn’t told a soul about.“Hang in there, little one,” she whispered, her hand briefly resting over her stomach. “Mummy’s going to start making the hard decisions now. Okay?”She blinked back the hot tears threatening to spill over as memories of her ruined morning

Chapter: Chapter 5: Five MillionRRRING!The sharp sound of Lyra’s phone cut through the cold guest room. She arched her back against the hard wooden bed, every muscle aching, and fumbled for the device that had been ringing nonstop.The screen’s glow banished the last of her sleep. Missed calls stacked one after another from the same unknown number. The time read 10:00 a.m.She sat up too fast, panic flickering—she hadn’t made Tristan’s breakfast as she always did.Then her eyes caught the mirror beside the closet. The dark, ugly bruise stretching across her cheekbone from yesterday's brutal encounter against the wall caught the morning light.She touched it lightly, and the entire wreckage of her marriage rushed back. Nowhere to go. Nothing in her name. The pain settled deeper than the bruise.KNOCK!“Open the fucking door.”The voice was familiar—the same one that had been moaning Tristan’s name in her bed. Lyra walked to the door and opened it.“You lazy bitch.”SPLASH!Iced water hit her full in the face. The sh

Chapter: Chapter 4: Find Her!Not a single soul dared to utter a word in the boardroom.The six high-priced financial strategists stood frozen, and Daniel Brooks, the CFO—who looked like he hadn’t slept in a week kept his eyes glued to the mahogany tabletop under Laurent’s crushing stare.“I need answers,” he ordered again, louder this time. His gaze cut across every worried face. “You were hired to stop this.”Nervous glances passed between them until one man cleared his throat.“We’re still investigating.”Laurent let out a cold, humorless scoff. He strode over to the stack of six pristine folders sitting on the table—six expensive opinions, six elaborate strategies, and zero actual results.He swept his arm across the table, slamming the folders onto the floor with a deafening thud that startled everyone.“I hired six of you,” he said, walking slowly behind their chairs. “Six.”His eyes swept the room. “And Helios is still bleeding.”Daniel lowered his gaze. The silence stretched until he finally broke it.“We

Chapter: Chapter 3: His Wreckage“I will make sure I fuck you so good that you'll stop fantasizing about another man.”Tristan’s venomous words hit Lyra like a physical blow—a toxic threat wrapped in a dark, humiliating temptation.He hadn’t touched her like this in over a year and a half. The last time they had sex—right before she left for the trip—had lasted less than a minute. He’d said he was tired, rolled away, and left her aching for an intimacy she had long since stopped expecting.“Get off me!” she shouted, shoving at his chest. He barely budged. Instead, he forced her legs apart and pinned her harder against the wall.“I still own you,” he growled.He ripped her shirt open—buttons scattered across the tiled floor. The sudden exposure sent an unwanted jolt through her as he buried his face between her breasts; he clamped his mouth over her nipple, sucking with a rough, punishing intensity that felt less like passion and more like a predator marking its territory.“God, it hurts!” Lyra gasped, her hands tangl

Chapter: Chapter 2: Possession“Where am I?”Lyra’s voice cracked, cutting through the rhythmic, sterile beeping of the monitors surrounding her hospital bed.Everything was wrapped in a thick, dizzying haze. Her instincts kicked in and she tried to sit up, but the IV line anchored to the back of her hand pulled taut, sending a sharp, stinging pain up her arm.“Not so fast, Miss,” a young nurse said gently, guiding her back down. “You’re still recovering.”“What happened? Why am I here?” Lyra asked, even though the last clear memory she had was walking in on her husband with another woman and hearing him demand a divorce.The nurse gave her a bright, almost excited smile. “You fainted… but it was for a good reason.”“What do you mean?” Lyra asked, her breath catching as she tried to make sense of why collapsing could possibly be a good thing.The nurse handed over a folded medical printout. “Congratulations. You’re three weeks pregnant.”“What?”Lyra snatched the paper from the nurse's hand, her eyes darting franti

Chapter: Chapter 1: Lyra QuinnLyra heard the muffled moan, followed by the creak of furniture. Her entire body froze. She had just returned from an international merger negotiation—a grueling three-day trip she had undertaken on behalf of her husband, Tristan Cole. He was supposed to meet her at the airport, but he never showed up.He’s probably stuck in traffic, she had told herself on the ride home. Or finishing a late call.The hallway seemed to stretch endlessly as she approached the bedroom they had shared for six years.For a moment she desperately wanted to believe she was mistaken. Her instincts screamed to stop, but her feet moved involuntarily. The door was slightly ajar. Without hesitation, Lyra peeked inside.Tristan and a woman who looked like a high-fashion model were tangled on the bed—her matrimonial bed.“Oh, fuck me… Tris…”The woman’s soft cries filled the room. Her messy hair swung with every movement as Tristan held her tighter. They were so entirely lost in each other that they never notice
