Carrying His Secret Baby; My Stepbrother's Forbidden Claim Chapter 125
Wren's POVThe nurse pushed past me with a tray of equipment while another reached for the monitor above Nora's bed. I was still holding my daughter's hand. I kept saying her name, waiting for her fingers to close around mine, but they lay motionless against the blanket. Someone asked me to move. I heard the words without understanding why anyone would want me farther away from her.“Please, she's frightened when she wakes up alone,” I told the nurse, gripping the bed rail. “Let me stay where she can see me. I won't get in your way.”The doctor came in behind them and checked Nora's breathing. His expression changed as he listened to the nurse's report. I watched his hands move with frightening speed. He called for another medication, and the sound of the monitor grew sharper. I had promised Nora that she would play outside again. I had promised her a pink-eared bunny. How could those promises mean anything if I could not make her open her eyes?“Ms. Sinclair, we need room to work,” D

Wren's POVI had read the same sentence on my computer screen four times without understanding a word. Across my desk, Maya was explaining why another client had suspended negotiations with Thornbridge.“Two more partners want to reconsider their agreements,” Maya said, placing a folder before me. Her voice softened when I failed to reach for it. “Ivy, our remaining reserves won't carry us much longer if this continues. We can cover salaries, but we need new business soon.”I opened the folder because she deserved an answer. The figures were worse than yesterday.“Keep the employees paid,” I told her. “And don't cancel the smaller suppliers.” I pushed the folder back, afraid my shaking fingers would betray me. “I'll speak to the clients myself when I can.”Adrian sat opposite me with a list of possible lenders. He slid one page toward me, careful not to crowd my desk with more problems.“This group can release funds quickly,” he explained. “But they'd want a say in major decisions unt

Seraphina's POVI kept my expression still, although my fingers had tightened around the edge of the wedding catalogue. He was watching me with an unfamiliar patience, waiting for an answer I could not give him. I had not expected him to remember the coffee."I bring you coffee all the time," I said, closing the catalogue with deliberate care. "Since when has that become suspicious? You have never questioned whether I meant you harm before."Dante remained beside the sitting room window. He had not raised his voice once, and that bothered me more than shouting would have. "I trusted you, Seraphina. I still need to establish what happened that night. Trust isn't a reason to leave part of the timeline unexamined."I stood, refusing to let him look down at me while he spoke. "And who persuaded you to start examining me? Ivy, I suppose. She cries in front of you, brings up her daughter, and suddenly your own fiancée is under suspicion. Can't you see what she's doing?""This isn't about wh

Dante's POVI left the hospital with Ivy's face still fixed in my mind. She had tried to stand straight while Adrian delivered the news, but I had seen her fingers tighten around the edge of her coat. Every Alpha they had tested had been ruled out. I had offered to be tested, and she had looked at me as though accepting that offer might cost her something she could not afford to lose.So did Seraphina's voice from earlier, accusing Ivy of using her sick daughter to keep me close. I had heard jealousy from my fiancée before. But Nora was a child lying in a hospital bed. What kind of threat could she possibly be?Something about Seraphina's certainty had been bothering me since the morning I woke with Ivy beside me. I remembered the coffee Seraphina brought into my study before Ivy's scheduled visit. I remembered drinking it while reviewing documents, and then the strange gaps that swallowed the rest of the evening. The next morning, Seraphina had arrived with a dressmaker and found us

Wren's POVDante's question stayed between us while the hospital corridor carried on around us. He was looking at me as though I held something important back."Ivy, were you going to ask me to be tested?" he repeated, more gently this time. "You can tell me. I won't turn this into another argument."I folded my arms to keep my hands still. If I admitted that his name had been the first to come to mind, he might ask why. He might begin to wonder why Nora's need for Alpha blood had frightened me in ways the doctors couldn't explain."The doctors are considering several Alpha donors," I said. "Your name isn't the only one on the list. There's no reason to assume your blood would be suitable.""That wasn't what I asked." Dante took one step closer, then stopped when I stiffened. "If Seraphina hadn't interfered, would you have come to me?"I stared at the pale floor tiles. Lying would have been easy, but Nora was lying beyond those doors, and I couldn't afford another lie that might delay

Dante's POVSeraphina's words reached me before I could turn around. For a moment, I wondered whether I had heard her correctly. Ivy stood beside the wall, one hand pressed against it for support. She had been trying not to cry over her daughter, and Seraphina had walked into that moment and called it manipulation.“What did you just say?” I asked, turning fully toward my fiancée. I kept my voice low because Nora's room was only a few steps away. “Explain what you meant about her using that child.”Seraphina stopped short. Her gaze flickered toward Ivy before returning to me. “Dante, I'm worried about you. Every time you try to move forward, Ivy has another reason to pull you back. First it was the company, and now it's her daughter. Our wedding is approaching. Surely you can see why I'm concerned.”Ivy straightened. I watched her wipe the dampness from beneath one eye, as though she regretted allowing either of us to see it. “Nora is in a hospital bed, Seraphina. Whatever you think i
