Divorced By Dawn Queen By Dusk Chapter 8
She told him the truth — all of it. Standing in the doorway of her suite with the sonogram printout between them, she told Kane that she was eight weeks pregnant, that the baby was Damian's, that she'd known since the night she walked out, and that she had been figuring out how to carry it alone because alone had felt like the only safe option left.Kane listened. He did not interrupt. He did not flinch. He stood in the doorway with the paper in his hand and his eyes on her face and when she finished he was quiet for a long moment — the kind of quiet that meant he was actually thinking, not just waiting for his turn to speak."The fake engagement complicates this," he said finally."I know.""The press will do the math when you start to show.""I know that too." She met his eyes. "If you want to restructure the arrangement, I understand. This wasn't what you signed."He looked at her for a moment. Then he set the sonogram on the hall table very carefully, as though it was something th

She told Kane about the photograph at breakfast.She laid her phone on the kitchen island face-up and watched him look at it — the hotel bathroom, the test in the bin, the two pink lines that were nobody's business but hers and now apparently someone else's. His jaw set in the way she was beginning to recognize: a line being crossed, a decision being made, very calmly."Alexander knows?" he asked."First thing this morning. He's running the trace. Relay routing — it'll take a day or two.""And the pregnancy. Who else knows?""The brothers. You now, apparently." She took her phone back. "And whoever sent this."He looked up at her then. Something careful and deliberate. "Are you all right?"Not clinical. Not strategic. Just straight."I will be," she said. Because it was truer than fine and he deserved the truth.He nodded. He didn't push. She appreciated that more than she could say.— ✦ —The nausea arrived on the fourth morning like an uninvited guest who had somehow obtained a key.

Security reached Damian in four seconds. He didn't fight them. That was somehow worse — a man who had the instinct to lunge and then caught himself, stood very still, and let two broad-shouldered men steer him backward through the alcove doors while every camera on that rooftop found his face and stayed there.The whispers ignited like a fuse. Lila heard her name pass through the crowd in waves — Voss, Kingsley, Wilder — the syllables of a scandal assembling themselves in real time. She stood inside the circle of Kane's arm and kept her chin up and her breathing even while the world rearranged itself around her."Time to go," Kane said quietly against her temple.His hand moved to the small of her back and they walked out the way they had walked in — like they owned every inch of it. The crowd parted. It always parted for Kane. He moved through rooms the way weather moved — not asking permission, simply arriving.Outside, his car was already waiting.— ✦ —The Hamptons estate appeared

Some things start as performance. Then they don't. The dress was not her idea. It was midnight blue — deep and dark, the color of the sky right before a storm decides what it wants to be. It had no back to speak of. The front was perfectly restrained, high-necked, professional even, which made the absence of fabric everywhere else feel like a statement. Marcus had picked it. He'd had it delivered to her suite at the Kingsley penthouse at four in the afternoon with a note that said: First impressions last forever. Make his jaw unhinge. — M. She wore it. She wore it because Marcus was right, and also because she had learned, in the last thirty-six hours, that the woman who walked out of that elevator with nothing but a purse and her dignity deserved to walk into this gala looking like she'd been the one in charge the whole time. Kane was waiting for her in the lobby of Kingsley Tower at seven. He didn't look up from his phone when the elevator opened. He looked up two seconds late

They put her in a room alone with him. That was how she'd think about it afterward. Not: the brothers escorted them both to the boardroom and gave them privacy to review the proposal. Just — they put her in a room alone with him. Because that was the truth of it. The walls were glass and the city burned sixty floors below and Kane Wilder sat across the long obsidian table looking at her like a man who had already decided how this conversation was going to end and was simply waiting for her to arrive at the same conclusion. She didn't sit immediately. She walked to the window first. Old habit — she always needed to see the exits before she committed to a chair. The city lay below them in every direction, all those lit windows like eyes that couldn't quite see what was happening up here. She turned around. Kane was still watching her. He hadn't touched the documents in front of him. Hadn't opened his phone. Hadn't done anything, in fact, except exist in the room with a stillness that

The helicopter lifted off the hotel rooftop at 2 a.m. and Manhattan tilted away beneath them—all that glittering grief shrinking to something small and manageable, the way pain sometimes does when you put enough altitude between yourself and it. Lila sat between Tyler and Gavin with her coat still buttoned to the throat and her hands folded in her lap and said nothing for the entire twelve-minute flight. She was learning the brothers by sound. Alexander spoke only when necessary—short, precise sentences that landed like verdicts. Marcus talked too much, filling silence the way people do when they've spent years being the funny one because being the honest one hurt too much. Tyler watched. Gavin sprawled like a man who'd never been uncomfortable in his life. Nolan, seated across from her, kept stealing glances at her face as though checking for cracks. She didn't give him any. Kingsley Tower came into view through the curved window—sixty-two floors of dark glass and clean vertical l
