Jason POV

Despite everything, a breath that was almost a laugh escaped me.

"That sounds right."

"She stood over me asking how long every test would take, why it couldn't be done faster and whether I needed more equipment. Then she started offering to buy equipment."

"Also sounds right."

"At one point, I'm fairly certain she offered to buy the laboratory."

I closed my eyes briefly.

Of course she had.

Emory's smile disappeared as quickly as it had come.

"I'll look at it myself."

"Thank you."

    Jason POVDespite everything, a breath that was almost a laugh escaped me."That sounds right.""She stood over me asking how long every test would take, why it couldn't be done faster and whether I needed more equipment. Then she started offering to buy equipment.""Also sounds right.""At one point, I'm fairly certain she offered to buy the laboratory."I closed my eyes briefly.Of course she had.Emory's smile disappeared as quickly as it had come."I'll look at it myself.""Thank you.""I'll need access to her blood work, the food samples and whatever they recovered from the syringe.""Mr. Stait has them.""I know. I work for him, remember?"I looked toward Mr. Stait.He was already watching us.Emory followed my gaze and added, "And before you start ordering me to break six protocols, I'll talk to him.""I'm not asking you to break protocols.""Amber said that too."I almost smiled again.Almost.Then I looked toward the operating-room doors."Find out what they gave her."Emory

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   While We Wait

    Jason POVHospitals were never supposed to hold that many people for one family.Within an hour, the private waiting area outside the surgical wing was full. Grandmother and Grandfather were there, while Mr. Asher hadn't moved far from the operating-room doors since Amber disappeared through them. Marcus arrived with Pamela, followed shortly by Noah, Jasmine and Daniel. Mr. Stait came with additional military security, and even the president arrived with a small detail after being informed that someone had managed to poison Amber inside a secured hospital.Then the children came.Alice ran toward me the moment she saw me. I barely had time to brace myself before she reached my wheelchair."Daddy!"I caught her carefully and pulled her against me. My body protested immediately, but I didn't care."Hey, princess.""Where's Mommy?"There it was. The question nobody wanted to answer.Alex stood behind her, holding Rose's hand. Iris was beside them, already watching the adults closely enou

    Jason POV"Check the food."The security officer beside me frowned."Check Amber's food," I repeated, louder this time. "We both ate, but only she collapsed. Test her tray, her water, the utensils—everything."For one brief second, the nurse stopped struggling.That was enough.Security immediately secured both trays, glasses and utensils as evidence while the medical team continued working around Amber. Then the sound of the fetal monitor changed, and every doctor near her reacted at once."Find Baby B."My stomach dropped.The obstetrician moved the monitor across Amber's abdomen while another doctor checked the readings. Their expressions were enough to make panic rise in my throat."What's happening?"The obstetrician looked at me. "The babies aren't moving normally.""They were moving this morning.""I know. We still have cardiac activity, but both babies have stopped showing expected movement, and their heart-rate patterns are becoming concerning.""Then wake Amber up.""We're t

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   Fifteen Minutes

    Amber POVBy lunchtime, I was tired enough to admit that bed rest might not be the completely unreasonable torture I'd accused my doctor of prescribing.Jason had finished physical therapy that morning and was pretending it hadn't exhausted him. I had spent more time than I was supposed to reviewing reports, which meant Pamela had already threatened to confiscate my tablet twice.A nurse entered carrying our lunch trays.I recognized her immediately. She'd been attending Jason since he'd arrived at the hospital. She wasn't his only nurse, but she'd been around often enough that neither of us paid much attention when she entered anymore."Food," she announced as she set the trays down. "And before either of you complains, I don't cook it."Jason inspected his plate. "Convenient excuse.""I'll tell the kitchen you've recovered enough to insult them."She checked my blood-pressure monitor, adjusted Jason's IV and began organizing supplies around the room while we ate.There was nothing u

    Amber POVThe St. Johns representatives returned the next morning with enough paperwork to make Jason regret having living proof of his ancestry.I was still confined to the second bed in his hospital room, which gave me an excellent view as two folders became four, then six, before a tablet containing the complete preliminary inventory was placed in front of him.Jason stared at it. "Is this all property?""Property, corporate holdings, trusts and associated assets," the attorney explained. "The formal transfer will take time, but this gives you an overview of what has been preserved under the St. Johns trust."Jason scrolled through the list. There were properties in several countries, commercial buildings, residences, agricultural land and investment holdings that had continued accumulating value while the trust waited for a verified successor. Some properties had belonged to the St. Johns family for generations.He stopped scrolling. "There's an estate in Sum.""Yes.""How long ha

    Amber POV"Have they found Mr. White?"Jason had asked the same question every morning for the past several days.I looked up from my tablet. He was sitting on the edge of his bed after physical therapy, looking tired but significantly steadier than he had a week ago."No."His jaw tightened.It was still strange hearing him call the man Mr. White.For as long as I'd known Jason, that man had occupied the place of his father, however complicated and damaged that relationship had been. Jason had spent most of his life believing they shared blood. Even after learning that he and Oscar weren't related, there had still been questions.Then we'd found the ledger.Mr. White hadn't merely known Jason wasn't his biological son. He had certified it decades ago before authorizing Jason's transfer to the Becker family.He had known.And now Jason refused to give him even the title of father.I understood.Sometimes distance began with something as small as a name."They're still searching the tu

    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,
