Amber POV

Jasmine, Noah, and Daniel were running through the forest, and honestly, I wasn't entirely convinced Jasmine understood that we were in danger.

Because all I could hear through the comms was laughter.

Actual laughter.

"Jasmine, could you please take this seriously for five minutes?"

Her laugh echoed through my headset.

"I am taking it seriously."

"You're laughing."

"Running through the jungle while shooting people with paint bullets is fun, Amber."

Noah sighed on the other end of the

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   Jasmine POV 2

    Jasmine POV Leo was already seated in a booth near the back, positioned so he could see the entrance, the main dining room and most of the hallway leading toward the restrooms. At least his field instincts survived social events.Unfortunately, so did his face.Leo had jet-black hair that fell around his forehead with the kind of deliberate carelessness people probably paid ridiculous amounts of money to achieve. With his smooth features, dark eyes and annoyingly perfect proportions, he looked less like someone who had participated in a military operation on an island full of traffickers and more like he'd escaped from a K-pop group between performances.Then there was the smile.That smile was his greatest weapon.Warm, easy and just shy enough to make strangers assume he was harmless, it had probably been responsible for half the information he'd collected without anyone realizing they were being questioned. Women trusted it. Older people wanted to feed him. Security guards tended

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   Jasmine POV 1

    Jasmine POVHospitals were designed to keep people alive, which was admirable, but they were also designed to keep people in bed, which became considerably less admirable when the person in that bed happened to be me.I had been shot in the arm. Not the chest, not the head and nowhere particularly essential to my continued existence. The bullet had gone through, the doctors had cleaned everything, stitched what needed stitching and spent an unreasonable amount of time explaining that blood loss, physical exertion and fresh bullet wounds were apparently reasons to rest.I had listened carefully.Listening and obeying were entirely different skills.Besides, Amber was unconscious because someone had poisoned her, Jason could barely walk, two babies had been delivered by emergency C-section, and a nurse who had spent two weeks inside Jason's hospital room had somehow gotten close enough to try to kill both of them. Under those circumstances, staying in bed seemed almost irresponsible.I

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   Blood and family 2

    Jason POVI was beginning to hate the word wait. Still, an hour earlier we hadn't known why Amber couldn't breathe. Now we did. We had gone from an unknown poison to a specific toxin, from doctors trying to treat symptoms without knowing their source to an antitoxin being prepared and a medical team that finally knew exactly what they were fighting. That mattered, even if it didn't make the fear disappear."Can I see her?"The critical-care physician nodded. "Briefly. We're administering treatment and monitoring her very closely, but you can sit with her as long as you don't interfere with the team.""I won't."Emory made a skeptical sound under his breath.I looked at him. "What?""Nothing.""You don't believe me?""I've met both you and your wife."Despite everything, I almost smiled. Then I looked through the glass again and couldn't. "I need to see her.""You will," Emory said.Before they took me inside, I wanted to know the children were settled. I asked the nurse to return me t

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   Blood and family

    Jason POVThe moment Emory said botulinum toxin, the neonatal unit stopped existing for me. I looked at Alex, who had clearly heard the words but, judging by his expression, didn't understand what they meant. I was grateful for that. He had already carried enough fear for one day."Take him back to the family," I told the nurse. "I need to go with Emory.""I can go with you," Alex said immediately."No." I reached for his hand. "You did something important already. You met your brothers, and now I need you to go tell your sisters they're okay."His eyes moved toward Emory. "Is Mom worse?"I hated how quickly he noticed everything, but I wasn't going to frighten him with information even I didn't fully understand yet. "No. Emory found out what made her sick. That's good because now the doctors know what they're fighting."Alex studied me for another second before nodding. "I'll tell Alice the babies are okay.""And tell her they're ugly."Alex looked genuinely horrified. "They're not u

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   Sons

    Jason POVI stared at her. "Sons?"Alice's head snapped up from Grandmother's arms. "Boys?"The doctor nodded. "Two boys."Grandmother laughed through her tears, and I sat there trying to absorb the fact that Amber and I had two sons. The relief was almost painful, but even then my thoughts immediately returned to her."Can Amber see them?""Not yet.""When she wakes up, I want them brought to her as soon as it's medically safe.""We'll do our best."Part of me didn't want to leave the hallway. Amber was somewhere behind those doors, unconscious with a machine forcing air into her lungs, and every instinct I had screamed at me to stay as close to her as possible.The doctor seemed to understand. "She's being monitored continuously. The neonatal unit isn't far, and we'll send someone for you immediately if anything changes.""Immediately.""Immediately."Only then did I nod. "Okay. I want to see them.""Me too."I looked down and found Alex standing closer to my wheelchair. He hadn't s

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   Both

    Jason POVThe doctor stopped in front of me, and for one terrible second, she said nothing. Alice was still tucked against my side, Grandmother had risen from her chair, Grandfather stood beside her, and Mr. Asher had moved so quickly that he was almost directly behind the doctor. Marcus, Pamela, the president, Mr. Stait and everyone else in the waiting area had gone silent.I didn't give the doctor time to speak. "Amber? How is my wife?""Amber is stable."I closed my eyes for half a second, trying to make that one word enough. Stable didn't mean awake, and it certainly didn't mean fine, but it meant alive. Right then, I would take it."Is she awake?""No. We believe the substances she was exposed to are still affecting her. The sedative concentration in her system was significant, and we're still looking for the second agent we believe contributed to the fetal distress."I looked toward the doors behind her. "Can I see her?""Not yet. She's still in postoperative recovery, and there

    I didn’t cry. I didn’t shake. I didn’t look back, or mourned the life and the years i will never get back, lost forever. I just went home, time to pack and say goodbye to my old life. The penthouse doors opened with biometric recognition the moment I stepped inside. Floor-to-ceiling glass. Marb

    We moved quickly through the hallway. Adrian walked behind me, gun raised, covering the corridor while I forced Henry Watson forward. The mansion was quieter than expected. Too quiet. Which meant either the guards were regrouping… or Jason was already on his way. I glanced over my shoulder.

    Jason POV Marcus nearly slammed the brakes. “She shot the camera!” I leaned back slowly. Marcus looked at me. “What the hell was that?” I ran a hand over my face. “She said hello husband before she shot it.” Marcus stared. “…Okay.” Silence filled the car. “…What does that mean exactly?”

    Family drama. Honestly, I was getting tired of it. I shifted slightly in the chair, letting the ropes around my wrists rub just enough to make the guards think I was uncomfortable. In truth, they had tied them loosely—political kidnappers rarely knew how to do proper restraints. Across from me,
