“Papa I do hope he dies though,” I said slowly.

The words came out calm, almost too calm, like I was talking about the weather and not a human life, and for a second the room went quiet in a way that made it clear even Papa didn’t expect me to say it that directly.

He didn’t respond immediately, he just stood there watching me, studying my face like he was trying to see if I actually meant it or if this was just another one of my cold statements that sounds worse than it is.

” The sound filled the room steady, fast and alive. I blinked once, staring at the small screen in front of me like it had personally offended me.“Thump
 thump

”That sound
 was coming from inside me. I turned slowly to look at the doctor, then back at the screen again, then down at my stomach like I was expecting it to explain itself.“Wait,” I said, lifting a hand slightly. “Let’s pause.”The doctor blinked.I blinked back.“That sound,” I continued, pointing at the machine like I was in a board meeting and someone just presented nonsense data, “you’re telling me that is coming from inside my body?”“Yes,” she said gently.I stared at her. Then I laughed, not a small laugh. A full one. Because what else was I supposed to do?“So,” I said, leaning back slightly on the chair, “there is a whole human being inside me
 making noise
 without my permission.”The doctor tried not to smile.“That’s one way to put it.”“One way?” I repeated. “That

    đŸ–€ Jacob đŸ–€â€œBoss, our Togo port was blown to the ground. Every single person and everything inside it
 gone.” Jack didn’t even say hello. That was how I knew this was not small.I leaned back slowly in my chair, my fingers tightening just slightly around the phone as his words settled properly in my head.Burned to the ground. It was not an attacker not raided.Wiped out.“Does my father know about this already?” I asked, my voice calm, even though my mind was already moving faster than the situation.“Yes, boss,” Jack replied. “And he said I should not inform you yet but
 the goods the Togo government requested for were all destroyed. And
 civilians were involved.”I closed my eyes for a brief second.Civilians.That word again. First New York. Now Togo. This was not coincidence. This was pressure. “This is fucked up,” I said under my breath, standing up from my chair and walking toward the window.The view outside looked normal. My home was in my private estate so no movement othe

    đŸ–€ Jacob đŸ–€Yesterday changed something. I don’t say that lightly. I am not a man who wakes up and suddenly believes in emotional shifts or invisible bonds forming out of nowhere. I deal with facts. Results. Consequences. But what happened yesterday, the attack, our deep conversation, the way Alexandra looked at me after everything settled, it left something behind.Now I feel closer to her. Not in the way I planned. Not in the way control works. This is different. It is not calculated. It is not something I built step by step. It just
 happened.And a part of me, the part I don’t usually listen to, is already waiting.Waiting for her to drop her guard. Waiting for her to look at me without suspicion. Waiting for her to stay. That part of me is new. And I don’t trust it.I exhaled slowly as I stepped out of the car, my driver already moving ahead to open the door even though I didn’t need it. I had gone to the office earlier out of habit after personally dropping Lex off myself, only

    đŸ–€AlexandrađŸ–€I picked up the spoon again, taking another bite of the food like the conversation wasn’t important, even though I was watching him from the corner of my eyes.“Control,” I added, “control is real. Control keeps things where they should be. Predictable. Stable.”That’s what I understand.That’s what I trust.Jacob moved then, slowly walking around the counter until he was standing right in front of me. Close enough that I had to tilt my head slightly to keep eye contact.“And what happens,” he said, his voice calm but carrying weight, “when you can’t control something?”I didn’t answer immediately. Because I already knew what he was trying to imply.“You remove it,” I said simply.His jaw tightened slightly at that, but he didn’t argue.“And if you can’t?” he asked again.This time I held his gaze fully.“There’s always a way,” I replied.Silence settled between us for a second. Then he did something unexpected. He reached out, slowly, giving me enough time to pull away

    đŸ–€ Alexandra đŸ–€â€œI don’t know if you will ever trust me
” Jacob’s voice came from the kitchen, steady, almost too calm for the weight of what he was saying. “But trust that I’ll keep you and our baby safe. Always.”I didn’t respond immediately.I just watched him.The way he moved around the kitchen like he belonged there, like this was normal, like we were normal. Like he didn’t just admit to something twisted days ago and like I didn’t almost die a few hours ago.“Safe,” I repeated quietly, leaning my elbow against the counter.That word felt strange.“The attacker earlier was meant for you,” I said, my eyes staying on him. “I believe.”He didn’t deny it. Of course he didn’t. That alone was enough confirmation.I let out a quiet breath, picking up the snack he gave me earlier, bringing it close to my mouth—Then immediately paused. The smell hit me first. My stomach twisted so violently it felt like my body was rejecting the idea before I even tasted it.“Take this away,” I said qui

    đŸ–€ Alexandra đŸ–€I don’t even remember when I fell asleep.One minute I was in the car, forcing my mind to stay sharp, forcing my body to keep up like nothing had happened, and the next
 everything just went quiet.Now the first thing I’m aware of is my body. My stomach twisted in a way that made it impossible to ignore, a deep, demanding kind of hunger that didn’t care about timing or control or anything else I usually rely on.And then there was something else with my body. Annoying. I wanted
 affection. That realization alone made my brows pull together slightly as I shifted where I was, my eyes opening slowly.I don’t do this.I don’t wake up wanting to be held or touched or taken care of. That’s not me. But right now? Right now it feels
 natural.And that’s the problem.I let out a quiet breath, my hand moving absentmindedly to my stomach before I caught myself and stopped.No.I already know what this is. It’s not me. It’s the embryo. I’ve seen this before. I’ve watched it happen
