Carrying His Secret Baby; My Stepbrother's Forbidden Claim Chapter 129
Seraphina's POVLady Celeste laughed as she repeated what she had heard about Ivy Sinclair. I raised my teacup to hide my smile. Apparently, that woman had almost begged an Alpha in the hospital corridor, only for him to walk away without offering a drop of blood. I wished I had been there to watch her humiliation myself."Imagine running a company and still having to beg strangers," I said, setting down my cup. "I suppose all those expensive offices were never worth much." I glanced at the wedding fabrics spread between us. Celeste and Lady Marielle had come to discuss the ceremony, but Ivy's disgrace was far more entertaining than choosing flowers.Celeste leaned closer, her bracelets clicking. "My husband heard she's selling her properties. One buyer practically named his own price. The whole business community knows she's desperate." She gave a short laugh. "Perhaps she should have been kinder to the people she offended.""The poor child, though," Marielle murmured, putting down

Wren's POVGarrick's words rang through the hospital corridor, loud enough to make people stop walking. I stood beside Adrian, unable to move. I wanted to disappear, but Nora was only a few rooms away, and the man who claimed he could save her was walking toward the exit."Miss Sinclair, is it true you've been selling your properties to pay for blood?" a journalist asked, pushing through the gathering crowd. He raised his phone toward my face. "Did Alpha Garrick refuse because you couldn't afford him?"Adrian stepped in front of me. "Put that away. This is a hospital, not a place for your entertainment." He turned toward the security desk and called for someone to remove the journalist.Garrick laughed. "Let him ask. She advertised a reward big enough to attract half the country, but now she can't pay the price. You should have told me you were broke before wasting my afternoon."I swallowed the shame burning in my throat. "I can pay the agreed reward after the doctors confirm you're

Wren's POVThe broker sat across from me with his hands folded, refusing to meet my eyes. I had barely slept after his warning yesterday. Now I wanted a name, not another excuse. Nora was still in the hospital, and someone who knew about her illness had been asking questions about me.“Who sent you?” I demanded. “You said someone knew my daughter's name. Who was it?” My fingers tightened around the arm of my chair. I could hear how rough my voice sounded, but I didn't care.“I never saw the person, Miss Sinclair,” he answered. “A middleman approached me. He wouldn't give a name. I thought you deserved to know before we went any further.” He glanced toward Adrian as though hoping someone would believe him.Adrian leaned forward. “Then we need to assume someone is watching Ivy's search. No more sharing details about Nora with strangers. Every donor goes through the hospital first.” His calm voice only made the danger feel more real.I wanted to question the broker again, but the office

Wren's POVThe doctor looked at me as though he was waiting for me to understand what he had just said. Nora needed a donor urgently. We had already tested every Alpha we could reach, and none of them could help her. Yet he was standing there telling me to widen the search, as though I had not spent every waking hour trying to do exactly that."Then tell me where else to look," I demanded, gripping the edge of Nora's bed. "There must be families who have faced this before. Rich families. Powerful Alphas. How did they find help when the hospitals couldn't?"Dr. Marsh glanced toward Nora. Her eyes were closed, and the machine beside her continued its steady sound. "There are private donor networks," he admitted. "Some families use them to reach candidates beyond the usual registries. But an offer of blood is not proof of compatibility. Anyone you find must consent to screening here. Please don't let someone take advantage of your fear.""My fear is all I have left," I whispered. I looke

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
