~DANIEL~

It's been months since Reid have been working on Jessica's accident case. I had almost forgotten about it and almost given up…

Then finally, at 2:42 a.m., my phone lit up.

Blocked number. Reid.

Typical Reid's style.

I snatched it up before it could ring again. “Talk.”

“I found the driver you've been looking for,” he said bluntly.

My pulse kicked up. “Who is he?”

“Name’s Darren Cole. Mid-thirties. No priors, but he’s known in certain circles. Used to be muscle for a strip of nightclubs in the city. He's a subordinate to, you guessed it… Crystal Rodriguez.”

My heart dropped into my stomach.

“Tell me she didn’t.”

Reid’s voice was cold. “She did. I followed the money—Darren got wired a large sum two days before the crash. Not from Crystal directly, but through one of her shell companies. He was under instructions to hit the car. Fast, hard, no questions. Didn’t even know Jessica was the target until after.”

“She hired her minor to crash into my wife?” My

Tossed it face down on the bed.He had his chance.

  • Bound by a billionaire    Baby scare

    ~ JESSICA ~That night, after Leo left, I stood in front of the mirror for a long time.My hoodie was pulled up, both hands cupped around my belly. The bump wasn’t massive yet, but it was there—undeniable. Two tiny lives growing inside me.Two tiny souls who didn’t ask to be here.“Hi,” I whispered softly, tracing the shape of my belly with gentle fingers. “I don’t know if you can hear me yet, but… I want to talk to you.”My voice cracked, but I kept going.“I don’t have everything figured out. Sometimes I still cry at night. I still miss the version of life I thought I’d have. But I need you to know something very important.”I exhaled shakily. “I love you. Both of you. So, so much. And I promise—I will protect you with everything I have. I may not have all the answers, but I’ll learn. I’ll grow with you. You are not a mistake. You are my miracle.”I paused, smiling through my tears.“I’m thinking of calling you Kai and Aurora. What do you think? Strong and soft

  • Bound by a billionaire    The man who showed up when I needed him the most.

    ~JESSICA~Three weeks passed like water slipping through my fingers—quiet, steady, and unexpectedly healing.There were still moments when grief nudged at my heart. Nights when I’d wake from a dream about Daniel and the life we were supposed to have. There were nights I still woke up crying, dreams bleeding into the silence. But every time I touched my growing belly, reality softened. Two tiny heartbeats pulsing inside me. A reason to keep going.A reason to start again.The ache wasn’t as sharp. It was duller, tucked behind something softer and stronger.Hope.It came in strange ways. In the sound of tiny clothes tumbling in the dryer. In Grace’s loud voice on video call showing me baby cribs she’d found on sale. In the corner of my apartment that slowly transformed into something more than just space.Grace had mailed me a rocking chair that squeaked slightly every time I leaned back in it, but I loved it anyway. I bought a crib—white and minimalistic. Then ca

    ~JESSICA~The morning sun filtered through the blinds, painting soft golden lines across the walls of my new apartment. For once, the silence didn’t feel like punishment. It felt like peace.I took a deep breath and glanced at the small sticky note I’d stuck on the fridge two nights ago:“Do one brave thing each day.”Today, that brave thing was registering for antenatal care.My stomach churned—not from morning sickness, but nerves. It felt like drawing a line in the sand. Like saying, this is real. Not a daydream. Not a denial. Not a breakdown. Real.I showered slowly, picked out a soft, loose dress, and ran my fingers through my growing curls. I didn’t wear makeup. I didn’t need armor today. I needed honesty. Vulnerability.And courage.I wore my glasses and searched online and found a public hospital that had good reviews for prenatal care. Somewhere close. Something private.A place where I wouldn't be easily recognized.The one I finally saw wasn’t too f

  • Bound by a billionaire    Coming out strong

    ~JESSICA~My phone buzzed on the nightstand around 3:00 a.m. I glanced at it.Leo: You okay? Just had a weird feeling. Hope you’re alright.I stared at the message for a long time before locking the phone without replying.Leo.Sweet, golden-hearted Leo.He had been there for me every step of the way after the Daniel disaster. From the long nights spent crying in his car to the coffee runs that turned into therapy sessions, he’d held my broken pieces together without ever asking for anything in return.And now, I was pushing him away and ignoring him.Because now I was carrying another man’s child.A man who had shattered me.A man who had once promised forever and then turned his back like I never mattered.And worst of all?I still loved him.Even after everything.But I didn’t trust him anymore. I didn’t trust myself.I didn’t trust the universe that had betrayed me in the most brutal, ironic way.I pulled the blanket up to my chin and finally let my eyes close
