Chapter 25: The Lie

I couldn’t breathe.

The hospital report glowed on my phone screen like evidence from a crime scene. Multiple pages. Official stamps. Doctor signatures. All confirming what I had suspected but never fully believed.

Bianca Lang’s “heart condition” was fake.

Completely fabricated for years.

I read the final note again, my hands shaking so badly the screen blurred:

  • Crave Me,Daddy's Good Girl   Double Betrayal

    **Chapter 78: Double Betrayal**I couldn’t hold it in any longer.The photos burned a hole through my phone and straight into my chest. I waited until morning when Damien was in his home office, sleeves rolled up, commanding his empire like the ruthless king he was. Our son was kicking restlessly at thirty-four weeks, as if he could sense the storm brewing inside me.I walked in without knocking, phone clutched in my hand like evidence in a trial.“Explain this.”I dropped the phone on his desk. The screen lit up with the photos: Damien and Lilith on the rooftop lounge. Her hand on his arm. Their faces inches apart. Her slipping something into his pocket.Damien picked up the phone slowly. His expression didn’t change at first—cold, calculating. Then his eyes lifted to mine, dark and stormy.“Where did you get these?”“Does it matter?” My voice cracked. “You told me she was nothing. That you rejected her complet

  • Crave Me,Daddy's Good Girl   The Business Witch

    **Chapter 77: The Business Witch**The smear campaign began with surgical precision.By morning, every major tabloid and gossip site carried the same carefully leaked narrative: *“Isla Harper: Unfit Mother or Gold-Digging Homewrecker?”* Anonymous “sources close to the Voss family” painted me as emotionally unstable, manipulative, and using the pregnancy to trap Damien. They dredged up old photos of me with Alex, twisted therapy notes from the custody hearings, and even screenshots of bitter texts I’d sent months ago when everything first fell apart.Then came the deeper cuts.A “leaked” medical report suggested my stress levels were endangering the baby. Another article claimed I had demanded millions in a prenup. Social media exploded with coordinated hate—thousands of comments calling me a whore, a parasite, a danger to the Voss bloodline. Lilith Voss didn’t do anything as crude as speak my name publicly. She simply funded the machine and smiled

  • Crave Me,Daddy's Good Girl   New Rival

    **Chapter 76: New Rival**The ultrasound gel was still cool on my skin when Victor Kane delivered the next blow.I lay on the examination table in the private clinic, thirty-three weeks pregnant, my belly glistening under the lights as the technician printed out fresh 3D images of our son—strong heartbeat, perfect profile, already weighing over five pounds. Damien held my hand, thumb stroking my knuckles, when Victor walked in without knocking, tablet in hand and face grim.“We have a new problem,” Victor said, glancing at the monitor where our baby’s face filled the screen. “A bigger one than Selena.”Damien’s jaw tightened. “Speak.”“Lilith Voss.”I sat up slowly, pulling the paper sheet over my belly. “Voss? Is she family?”“No blood relation,” Victor explained. “She took the name legally three years ago after marrying and divorcing one of Damien’s distant cousins. Smart move. It gives her credibility in certain circl

  • Crave Me,Daddy's Good Girl   Second Shadow

    **Chapter 75: Second Shadow**The press conference played on every screen in the penthouse.I stood frozen in the living room in one of Damien’s oversized button-down shirts, my hand cradling the heavy swell of my thirty-two-week belly, while Selena Drake’s face filled the television. She looked radiant—flawless makeup, soft lighting, one hand resting meaningfully over her still-flat stomach.“I never wanted it to come to this,” she said, voice trembling with practiced vulnerability. “But Damien Voss deserves to know he’s going to be a father again. I’m eight weeks pregnant. And despite what the tabloids say about his engagement to that girl… I believe our child deserves a chance at a real family.”The headline ticker screamed: **DAMIEN VOSS BABY MAMA WAR EXPLODES — TWO PREGNANCIES, ONE EMPIRE.**My stomach twisted violently. Our son kicked hard, as if protesting the chaos his father had dragged us into again.Damien stood behind

  • Crave Me,Daddy's Good Girl   Past Sins

    **Chapter 74: Past Sins**The silence in the penthouse was heavier than the city skyline pressing against the windows. I sat on the edge of our bed in my silk robe, the emerald gala gown discarded in a heap on the floor like a shed skin. My hands rested protectively over my thirty-one-week belly, feeling the steady kicks of our son, while Damien stood across from me, still in his tuxedo pants and unbuttoned dress shirt.“Tell me about her.” My voice came out quieter than I intended, but the demand was clear. “No more half-truths, Damien. No more ‘it was a long time ago.’ I want everything. Tonight.”He watched me for a long moment, dark eyes unreadable. Then he exhaled slowly and loosened his tie completely, tossing it aside.“Selena wasn’t just a submissive,” he said finally, voice low. “She was my partner in more ways than one. Business first. She helped broker the Asian expansion three years ago. Sharp. Ruthless. Unafraid of my darkness.” He pa

  • Crave Me,Daddy's Good Girl   The Ghost

    **Chapter 73: The Ghost**The gala was a glittering cage of crystal chandeliers and whispered power plays. Voss Enterprises’ annual charity ball filled the grand ballroom of the city’s most exclusive hotel, every corner dripping with old money and sharper ambitions. I stood beside Damien in a custom emerald-green maternity gown that flowed elegantly over my thirty-one-week belly, the diamond on my finger catching every light. I should have felt untouchable. Instead, I felt like prey.“You’re breathtaking tonight,” Damien murmured, his large hand resting possessively on my lower back. His thumb stroked slow circles over the silk, right above the curve of my ass. “Every man here wishes he could touch what’s mine.”I leaned into him, drawing strength from his solid presence. After the dirty money confrontation and the intense makeup sex that followed, we’d existed in a fragile truce. He’d been attentive, almost tender. But the shadow of Selena

  • Crave Me,Daddy's Good Girl   Clinical Light

    Chapter 44:Clinical LightThe private medical suite on the 18th floor of Voss Tower felt more like a luxury spa than a doctor’s office. Soft lighting, original art on the walls, and a calm, middle-aged physician named Dr. Amara Patel who had been on retainer with the family for years. Th
