Divorce Clause: Heir Included 92
The medical monitor’s rhythmic chirp sliced through the silence of the VIP suite, a persistent, jagged sound that matched the erratic thumping in Zack’s chest. He bolted upright, his hospital gown damp with a cold sweat that smelled of copper and fear. The air in the room felt too thin, as if the shadows in the corners were breathing it all in.He wasn’t in Havenfall anymore. He was back in that lightless basement, the sound of Nathan’s suppressed pistol coughing in the dark while Ethan Cole’s men closed in."Zack! Breathe, damn it."Dr. Kane was suddenly there, his silhouette sharp against the sterile fluorescent hum of the hallway. He didn't look like a healer; he looked like a weary soldier. His eyes darted from Zack’s frantic expression to the spiking jagged lines on the heart monitor."Going to be sick?" Kane’s voice was low, devoid of the usual clinical fluff.Zack couldn't even manage a nod. He lunged for the plastic bin, his fingers cramping around the rim. Kane was a blur of

Eliza’s voice was a low rasp, thick with a jagged edge as she cornered the medic in the sterile hallway. "He’s going to be okay, right? Give it to me straight, Kane."The doctor adjusted his glasses, his eyes lingering on a clipboard of digital readouts. "Zack is stable, but he’s running on empty. Dehydration, acute stress, and whatever that fever was... he needs a hard reset. He stays here until those labs come back, and he eats whatever we put in front of him, whether he wants to choke it down or not.""He’s barely keeping water down as it is," Eliza bit out, her knuckles white as she gripped the strap of her bag."Doesn't matter. It’s a net gain game now. We pump it in, he retains what he can. If we don't stabilize his vitals, this pregnancy will strip him bare." Kane’s face softened with a grim sort of pity. "Take care of him, Eliza. He’s young, but the weight he’s carrying would buckle a veteran."Eliza watched him walk away before spinning around to find Lucas and Marcus lurking

Zack’s POV"Why the hell would you want to sit across from a shark like Ivy?" I cut in, the rasp in my voice betraying the dry ache in my throat. "Nathan, that’s suicide. If he figures out the Cocolink throne is empty for even a second, he’ll tear Havenfall apart just to see it bleed."Nathan let out a low, dangerous rumble, his fingers trailing over the scars on his knuckles. "I need muscle, Zack. Real weight. Ivy is the only one in the Ivy District who isn't bought and paid for by Ethan Cole."Madeline stepped between us, her face a mask of calculated terror. "Nathan, don't. Ivy doesn't do 'allies.' He does 'subjects.' If you walk into that den without your full detail, you’re handing him the keys to the city.""I'm not a child, Madeline. I know the risks.""Then act like it!" she snapped, her eyes flashing. "You’re frustrated, I get it. But you can't just throw yourself into a meat grinder because you're bored of waiting."Nathan's jaw tightened, a muscle jumping in his cheek. He l

Nathan, Lucas, and Julian tore through the industrial wasteland of the lower Havenfall docks, the neon lights of the city flickering off the hoods of their blacked-out sedans. They weren't shifting into wolves; they were shifting gears. This was a different kind of hunt. They were sixteen, fueled by adrenaline and the reckless arrogance of heirs to the Cocolink throne, chasing a rival courier’s bike that had strayed into their territory.The thrill was a drug. They moved in a synchronized formation, black steel cutting through the midnight fog. Julian and Lucas flanked the perimeter, funneling the biker toward the dead-end alley where Nathan waited. The target’s tires screeched, rubber burning against the wet asphalt as he realized he was boxed in. He laid the bike down, sliding toward Nathan’s boots, his eyes wide behind a cracked visor.Nathan stepped out of the shadows, the silver rings on his knuckles catching the dim light. He didn't need a weapon; his presence was the threat. Bu

Nathan’s POVThe room didn't just feel cold; it felt hollow.I sat on the edge of the mattress, my head between my hands, pressing my palms against my temples to stop the rhythmic thumping. Every heartbeat sent a spike of white noise through my brain. I looked at the sleek, glass skyline of Havenfall through the window, but it was just geometry. No memories attached. No sense of home."Nathan, look at me."Madeline’s voice was a low, steady anchor. She knelt before me, her hands resting on my knees. Her touch was familiar, like a ghost of a sensation from a life I couldn't quite grasp."Who is Zack?" I rasped. The name was a burr in my throat. It tasted like copper and old regrets. "The name... it's there, but I can't see a face. Just... a blur."Madeline let out a jagged breath, her eyes brimming with a practiced, tragic patience. "He was your ruin, Nathan. He’s a bottom-feeder from the Ivy District. A grifter. He played a part—the innocent, broken boy caught in Logan’s crossfire. He

Zack’s POVThree days of radio silence.I paced the length of the master suite, the floorboards creaking under my weight. Every few minutes, my hand strayed to my phone, checking the signal bars as if they were a lifeline. Nothing. No encrypted pings, no "I’m safe" burner texts. Just a hollow, ringing void.Nathan wouldn't do this. Not to me, and certainly not to Leo. He’d left Havenfall with a look in his eyes that bordered on frantic—a man terrified of losing the ground he’d just reclaimed. He wouldn't just vanish unless the choice was taken from him.Caleb was restless in the back of my mind. The internal enforcer that kept me sharp was pacing, too, snarling at the shadows. The anxiety was a physical weight, a constant, low-grade nausea that twisted my gut. Between the pregnancy and the silence, I felt like a wire stretched to the snapping point."Daddy call yet?"I froze. Leo stood in the doorway, clutching his stuffed lion, his eyes wide and searching."Not yet, bud," I said, for
