An hour later, everything looked different. The kind of control that comes after chaos has already done its damage and everyone is now scrambling to clean it up before it gets worse. My phone had been buzzing nonstop, messages stacking on top of each other, updates flying in from every direction, and for once, I wasn’t the one reacting.

I was watching.

Because the attack had slowed down.

Not completely stopped, but slowed enough for the market to catch its breath, and that alone tol

    šŸ–¤ Alexandra šŸ–¤ā€œThump… thump… thumpā€¦ā€ 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.ā€œThump… thump… thumpā€¦ā€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.ā€œWait,ā€ I said, lifting a hand slightly. ā€œLet’s pause.ā€The doctor blinked.I blinked back.ā€œThat sound,ā€ I continued, pointing at the machine like I was in a board meeting and someone just presented nonsense data, ā€œyou’re telling me that is coming from inside my body?ā€ā€œYes,ā€ 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?ā€œSo,ā€ I said, leaning back slightly on the chair, ā€œthere is a whole human being inside me… making noise… without my permission.ā€The doctor tried not to smile.ā€œThat’s one way to put it.ā€ā€œOne way?ā€ I repeated. ā€œThat

    šŸ–¤ Jacob šŸ–¤ā€œBoss, our Togo port was blown to the ground. Every single person and everything inside it… gone.ā€ 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.ā€œDoes my father know about this already?ā€ I asked, my voice calm, even though my mind was already moving faster than the situation.ā€œYes, boss,ā€ Jack replied. ā€œAnd he said I should not inform you yet but… the goods the Togo government requested for were all destroyed. And… civilians were involved.ā€I closed my eyes for a brief second.Civilians.That word again. First New York. Now Togo. This was not coincidence. This was pressure. ā€œThis is fucked up,ā€ 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

    šŸ–¤ Jacob šŸ–¤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

    šŸ–¤AlexandrašŸ–¤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.ā€œControl,ā€ I added, ā€œcontrol is real. Control keeps things where they should be. Predictable. Stable.ā€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.ā€œAnd what happens,ā€ he said, his voice calm but carrying weight, ā€œwhen you can’t control something?ā€I didn’t answer immediately. Because I already knew what he was trying to imply.ā€œYou remove it,ā€ I said simply.His jaw tightened slightly at that, but he didn’t argue.ā€œAnd if you can’t?ā€ he asked again.This time I held his gaze fully.ā€œThere’s always a way,ā€ 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

    šŸ–¤ Alexandra šŸ–¤ā€œI don’t know if you will ever trust meā€¦ā€ Jacob’s voice came from the kitchen, steady, almost too calm for the weight of what he was saying. ā€œBut trust that I’ll keep you and our baby safe. Always.ā€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.ā€œSafe,ā€ I repeated quietly, leaning my elbow against the counter.That word felt strange.ā€œThe attacker earlier was meant for you,ā€ I said, my eyes staying on him. ā€œI believe.ā€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.ā€œTake this away,ā€ I said qui

    šŸ–¤ Alexandra šŸ–¤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
