เข้าสู่ระบบWhen a DNA test reveals her husband isn’t her daughter’s father, Arabella Hart discovers that the billionaire who just saved her child’s life is and that the fertility clinic "mistake" that created her family was no accident. Arabella Hart thought she had it all: a thriving inheritance, a loving fiancé, and the promise of a family. But everything she believed was a lie. Her marriage was a con, her pregnancy was manipulated without her consent, and the man she trusted most had betrayed her. The only way forward is to reclaim her life, protect her child, and uncover the conspiracy that nearly destroyed her future. Adrian Palmer never expected to become a father or to be drawn back into the life of the woman whose child unknowingly carries his blood. As secrets unravel and enemies manipulate every move, their lives collide in a storm of deception, passion, and a love neither of them can deny. In a world where betrayal runs deep and trust is rare, Arabella and Adrian must fight for what truly matters: family, love, and justice.
ดูเพิ่มเติมThe waiting room of the VIP surgical wing was quiet. Adrian sat in a very comfy chair, but it felt like a bed of nails.He hadn't moved since they took her. He was still wearing the white shirt from the morning—the shirt he had worn to face his mother. The sleeves were rolled up, his forearms stained with the drying, blood of the last hour. He stared at his hands, watching a small flake of dried blood peel away from his knuckle.Is it a boy? Tell me it’s a boy.Claudia’s voice echoed in his ear, a rasping, phantom whisper that he couldn't shake. He had gone to that prison to bury her, to prove he was free. Instead, he had breathed in her toxicity and brought it to the woman who was his only light.The double doors swung open with a soft puff of air. Adrian was on his feet before his brain even registered the movement. His knees buckled slightly, the adrenaline that had sustained the high-speed drive finally evaporating into a cold, hollow terror.Dr. Aris, the chief of obstetrics, wal
The Metropolitan Detention Center was a high, solid block of concrete that seemed to suck the light out of the sky. As the SUV pulled up to the curb, Arabella felt the familiar, cold dread settling in her stomach.Adrian sat beside her, his hands gripped so tightly on his knees that his knuckles were white. He hadn't spoken since they left the penthouse. He looked like a man heading toward the gallows, his jaw set."You don't have to do this for her," Arabella said softly, reaching over to cover his hand with hers. "You’re doing this for us. So she doesn't have a place in our heads anymore."Adrian turned to her, his eyes dark and hollow. "I just want to see if she’s still human or if it’s just more shadows.""I'll be right here," she promised. "I’m not moving from this spot."He leaned over, pressing his forehead against hers for a long, shaky second. Then, without a word, he climbed out of the car. Arabella watched through the tinted glass as he walked toward the heavy steel doors.
The peace they had fought for felt like a thin sheet of ice. Beneath it, the water was still freezing, and every time the phone rang or a courier arrived, Arabella felt the ice crack.Two weeks had passed since the ultrasound. Adrian was trying. He had stopped hovering over her like a monitoring spirit, but he still watched her eat every bite of food and everything she does. The break came on a Tuesday afternoon.Arabella was in the nursery, sitting on the floor with Raina. They were building a tower out of wooden blocks—a "safe house," as Raina called it. The toddler was finally beginning to relax, her laughter sounding less like a startled bird and more like a child again.Maria entered, holding a silver tray with a single, thick envelope.“A courier just dropped this off," Maria said. "It’s from the Metropolitan Detention Center. It’s addressed to Mr. Adrian, but... it has the Whitmore seal on the back."Arabella felt a chill sweep through the room. She stood up, dusting the imagi
The morning started with the smell of toast and the sound of Raina’s giggles from the kitchen.Arabella sat on the edge of the bed, placing her hand against her stomach. It had been three days since the positive tests. She still hadn't told anyone but Adrian. To the rest of the world, she was still the "Victorious Mother" from the headlines. To herself, she was a woman holding a secret so fragile she was afraid to breathe too deeply."Mama! Toast!"Raina’s voice was bright. Arabella stood up, smoothed her robe, and walked into the kitchen.Adrian was there, standing at the counter in an old t-shirt and sweats, his hair messy. He was carefully scraping the charred bits off a piece of wheat bread while Maria poured juice.When Adrian saw Arabella, his eyes didn't go to her face. They went straight to her midsection."Morning, darling" he said, his voice lower than usual. He walked over and kissed her temple. "How are you feeling? Any... nausea?""I'm fine, Adrian," Arabella whispered, l
The conference room on the forty-second floor of the Whitmore Building felt less like a meeting space and more like a battleground. Arabella sat stiffly at the long mahogany table, spine straight, hands folded over a leather portfolio she hadn’t opened. She didn’t look at Adrian, who sat three sea
Arabella didn’t scream. She didn’t throw the laptop. She simply closed it with a soft, final click that sounded louder than a gunshot in the quiet room."Bella, please." Adrian stood in the bedroom doorway, his voice was pleading. "Just let me explain. Five minutes. That's all I'm asking."She didn
Adrian Whitmore hadn’t slept.He stood at his penthouse office, watching the city wake up at dawn. His reflection stared back at him with his tie loosened, shirt sleeves rolled up and his jaw tight with exhaustion and purpose.Arabella had been gone for twelve hours. Twelve hours of silence. Twelve
The vibrating phone dragged Arabella from sleep.She blinked groggily at the unfamiliar ceiling, it was Adrian's penthouse. They'd attended a business conference that stretched past midnight, and rather than make the drive across the city, she'd let him convince her to stay. His arm was warm across
