“Please…” Vera whispered, her voice shaking, her hand gently cupping the side of his face. “Stay with me. Asher…”

Another noise.

Movement.

Eira.

That single thought snapped her back to reality.

Her baby was still in danger.

But Asher…

Vera froze, torn in two. One hand still on Asher, the other gripping the floor to push herself up.

“Mommy!”

Eira’s voice came again, smaller, scared, but still calling.

And Vera had never felt more helpless in her life.

Tears welled in her eyes as she hovered over Asher’s unconscious body, paralyzed by the impossible decision, save the man bleeding at her feet… or the daughter screaming for help just a room away.

“Asher, I’m sorry,” Vera whispered, brushing trembling fingers through his blood matted hair. “I’m so sorry.”

But she couldn’t stay.

She wouldn’t lose both of them tonight.

With a deep, shaky breath, Vera pushed herself up. Her legs felt like jelly, her heart pounding so hard it rattled her ribs.

She forced herself forward, each step dragging he

  • Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B   Chapter 235

    The hospital lights were too bright.Too sterile.Too quiet.Too cruel.The hum of machines, the steady beep of monitors, and the staccato of urgent footsteps echoed through the corridors like a distant war drum, reminding everyone that lives hung in the balance just behind those white doors.Eira lay asleep, a child sized oxygen mask covering half her face. A nurse had gently sedated her when the screaming wouldn’t stop.Her small chest rose and fell in steady rhythm now, but the dark shadows beneath her eyes made her look years older than her age.Asher sat beside her, still in his bloodied clothes, his face pale and his head wrapped in gauze. His forehead had taken the brunt of the fall when one of the attackers slammed him into the concrete floor. A mild concussion, the doctors said. Nothing too threatening.But the damage wasn’t just in his skull.It was everywhere.Inside him.Around him.He hadn’t said a word since they arrived.The paramedics had barely pried Vera from Dorian’

    Eira was still pressed against Asher’s side, her little face buried in his shoulder, unaware of the cold metal death pointed at them.Asher turned only slightly at the sound of Vera’s voice, eyes widening when he saw her push forward, arms outstretched.She was going to take the bullet.She knew it. She accepted it.Better her than Eira.Better her than Asher.But just as she was about to reach them, just as the man’s trembling finger began to squeeze the trigger...Another figure blurred into her path.“VERA, MOVE!”It was Dorian.His voice cracked like thunder.In that impossible second, Vera turned her head, eyes locking with his. His stride was sure, reckless, determined.And in that instant, as the final moment collapsed into action, Dorian’s body crashed in front of hers, shoving her back with one hand while the other spread wide to shield the entire family.The gun fired.A thunderclap.Vera’s ears rang as she fell back, stunned, not from the bullet, but from Dorian’s forceful

    The room spun in fragments, shouts, gunfire, a child’s cry, blood slicked footsteps, and then, everything froze.A single shot rang out.Then another.Then two more.Vera flinched at the thunderclap of sound, her body instinctively tensing despite the agony it sent down her spine. She expected more pain. More violence.But instead, there was a sudden silence.Not peace.But silence.Her blurred vision caught flashes, movement in her peripheral. Heavy thuds. A body collapsing near the doorway. Another slumped backward with a gaping hole in his chest. One man dropped his weapon mid aim, surprise frozen on his face before he toppled forward.And in the center of it all, framed by the smoke curling in from the shattered window and the flickering lights overhead, stood Dorian Fontaine.His jaw clenched.His chest heaving.Gun raised.Eyes murderous.He was covered in dust and blood, not his. His coat flapped slightly from the wind breaking in through the blown out corner. His boots stepped

    Dorian Fontaine gripped his phone so tightly it could’ve shattered.The call to Asher’s private line rang again. And again. And again.No answer.Voicemail.He didn’t bother leaving a message. He hit redial. The same result. Again and again until the sound of the tone became a trigger to his rising panic.“Asher, pick up the damn phone,” he muttered under his breath, pacing the length of his office like a lion in a cage. “Pick up, or so help me...”He stopped.Then tried Vera’s phone.Still nothing.A dead line.And her tracker had vanished.The silence on the other end of the line felt like a scream.His mind raced with possibilities.Worst case scenarios. Vera lying in a pool of blood. Eira screaming for her mother. Asher too late to stop it. Or too broken to fight back.The feeling of helplessness was something Dorian despised. And now, it clung to him like a sickness.He slammed the phone down, breathing hard.“Come on, Donovan,” he whispered through gritted teeth. “You better not

  • Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B   Chapter 231

    Dorian Fontaine rarely panicked.His world was built on control, on systems, algorithms, and intelligence that gave him an edge long before the rest of the world caught up.He didn't believe in luck, and he certainly didn’t believe in fear.But the second his private line buzzed, that number, the unease began to crawl beneath his skin.He sat behind the wide mahogany desk at the top floor of Fontaine Group’s headquarters, the skyline of the city framed like glass behind him. Reports, contracts, strategy decks, all spread across his workspace in neat, unread piles.He’d been staring at the same paragraph of a merger clause for the last ten minutes, distracted by something he couldn’t place.Until now.The call connected with a soft chime.“This is Fontaine,” he said coolly.On the other end, a voice he recognized immediately, Elias. One of his best. A field man who had served in the deadliest corners of the world and returned unscathed.A man who never raised his voice, never lost his
