[Tyler’s POV]

I slammed the heavy oak door of my father’s house at the east wing of Manhattan shut with a loud bang. The sound echoed up the marble staircase and through the vaulted ceilings of the Rider estate, a hollow, mocking boom that punctuated the end of an era. I didn't care if the neighbors heard.

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   The Collapsing Empire

    [Tyler’s POV]I slammed the heavy oak door of my father’s house at the east wing of Manhattan shut with a loud bang. The sound echoed up the marble staircase and through the vaulted ceilings of the Rider estate, a hollow, mocking boom that punctuated the end of an era. I didn't care if the neighbors heard.I had driven like a madman behind my father’s black sedan, the two of us weaving through Manhattan traffic like funeral cars racing to a burial. Except we weren't burying Beatrice today. We were burying the Rider Group.My father, the man who had built a kingdom out of steel and secrets walked with a terrifying, rhythmic calmness toward the bar in the corner of the study. He moved like a man who had all the time in the world, shedding his suit jacket and draping it over a leather armchair as if we had just come home from a pleasant charity gala rather than a corporate execution.I stood in the center of the room, my chest heaving, my hands still curled into useless, trembling fists.

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Power Pass Power

    [Tyler’s POV]The forty-eight-hour grace period Marcus had granted me to fix my mess has elapsed.As the elevator hissed open on the fiftieth floor, the air felt thinner, colder. I adjusted the knot of my silk tie, my fingers trembling slightly. I was walking into the mouth of the wolves bigger than I am, heading toward the boardroom to face the men who had spent the last three days sharpening their knives for my back. I had spent those seventy-two hours screaming into the void. My father hadn't replied to a single text. He hadn't returned a single call. The silence from the man was the loudest warning I’d ever received."Any updates?" I asked my secretary, leaning over her desk. My voice sounded ragged, even to my own ears.She didn't look up from her screen. Her posture was stiff, her professional warmth replaced by a clinical detachment. "Nothing new, Mr. Rider. But your father is already in the boardroom. They’re waiting for you."My heart did a slow, heavy roll. He’s here? The o

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Took Me For A Fool

    [Sarah’s POV]The air in my office was thick enough to choke on. I sat behind my desk, the wood cold beneath my white-knuckled grip. To my right, the senior production staff, the only five people with the security clearance to see my prototypes, stood in a jagged line, shifting their weight, their eyes darting anywhere but at me. To my left, Norman sat on the leather sofa, his legs crossed, his expression unreadable.I didn't speak for a long time. I just let the silence hollow them out. I wanted them to feel the weight of the harvest they were about to lose."I’ve never called a meeting like this," I began, my voice a low, dangerous rasp that made Arthur flinch. "Because I’ve never had reason to believe that the people I pay to build this legacy were busy dismantling it behind my back."I picked up the remote and clicked the power button on the 65-inch monitor mounted on the wall. The screen came to life, displaying the home page of Vignoble de la Rose.The gasps were quick. The lead

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Snitches Get Stiches

    [Sarah’s POV]"I don't care what the invoice says, Arthur! We didn't order five tons of French oak if the cellar floor is still leaking!"My voice cracked across the courtyard, sharp enough to make a pair of crows scatter from the roof of the production house. I slammed the stack of purchase orders onto the stone wall, the paper stinging my palms. The numbers on the ledgers were drowning me.Every time I closed my eyes, I heard Leena’s tiny, haunting voice from the night before. 'Mommy says Sarah took the magic.'"Boss? You look like you’re ready to fire the sun for rising too early."I spun around. Big Elijah was standing by the equipment shed, his massive arms crossed over his chest. He looked as steady as a mountain, the only thing on this property that didn't feel like it was shifting under my feet.I gestured for him to follow me toward the secluded corner of the tasting room, away from the prying eyes of the seasonal pickers."Elijah," I said, my voice dropping to a low, jagged

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Twenty-four Hours to Fix Your Messs

    [Tyler’s POV]"You’re telling me that in a city with eight million cameras, my sister’s killer cannot be found?"I slam my palms flat against the cold metal of the interrogation table, staring at the grainy monitor displaying the footage of that faithful night."Mr. Rider, please. Sit down." Detective Swordsman didn’t look up from his notepad. He was a man who looked like he’d spent twenty years watching the worst parts of humanity on repeat, and his indifference was starting to feel like an insult."I’m not sitting," I snapped, my voice echoing off the cinderblock walls. "I want to know why this footage looks like it was filmed through a bowl of soup. That’s Beatrice for fuck sake. That’s my sister."Miller sighed and tapped a key on the laptop. The video jumped forward. "That is why we need you to be calm and watch this... thirty minutes after she enters the abandoned tenement, this individual arrives."I froze. My eyes locked onto the screen. A dark figure emerged from across the s

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   You Took The Magic

    [Sarah’s POV] Usually, this was my hour of stillness, the time when the house settled into a comfortable hum of clinking silverware and the distant, rhythmic lowing of cattle. But tonight, the air in the house felt heavy, displaced by a presence that didn’t belong. I stood in the doorway of the sunroom, my arms crossed tightly over my chest. The furniture had been pushed to the walls to make room for a travel cot draped in a plush, pink cashmere blanket that screamed of Madison Avenue boutiques. Leena sat on the rug, her small legs tucked under her. She was clutching a ragged stuffed rabbit, her thumb hooked into her mouth. She wasn't crying anymore, but her eyes followed every shadow that moved across the ceiling. Across from her, seated in his playpen, Caleb was staring at her with an intensity that only a ten-month-old can muster. "She hasn't eaten much," Mrs. Gable whispered, stepping up beside me. She held a small plastic bowl of mashed organic peas as if it were a peace o

    Sarah’s POV"Push, Sarah! Push!"Rosa’s voice was barely audible over the rainstorm outside. A massive crack of thunder shook the entire house, shaking the windows so hard I thought the glass would shatter over my bed."I can't!" I screamed, my fingers digging into Norman’s hand until I felt his bon

    [Tyler’s POV]"Where is she? I demand to speak to the lead lead doctor immediately!"I slammed my palm against the white laminate of the nurse’s station. The sound echoed through the sterile, fluorescent-lit hallway of the VIP maternity wing, but it didn't get the reaction I wanted. The head nurse,

It wasn't the shaking of a frightened rabbit cornered by a wolf. It was the vibration of a new type of rage.My hands were wrapped tightly around the sleeping bund
