[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, a woman with a face carved out of granite, didn't even look up from her computer screen.

"Sir, as I have explained three times now, Miss Lucy is in the middle of a procedure," she said, her voice lik

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Final Audit

    Julian was sitting back in a dark leather executive chair, a cup of green tea in hand, looking relaxed, sharp, and completely in his element. The sharp, exhausted shadows that had haunted his eyes after four years in hiding were entirely gone, replaced by the formidable, ambitious energy of a man who had reclaimed his life."The final audit on the Tokyo accounts was signed off twenty minutes ago, Little Bird," Julian reported, his raspy voice coming through the satellite line with crystal clarity. "Norman’s off-grid holdings in Singapore and Japan have been officially liquidated and absorbed into Bennett Global East. We didn't leave a single dollar unaccounted for."Tyler sat beside me at the dark marble table, his tailored suit jacket draped over the back of his chair, his white dress shirt fitting tightly across his broad shoulders. He leaned forward, resting his elbows against the marble as his dark eyes scanned the live ledger scrolling across his tablet screen."And the regional

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   With Pleasure, Rider

    I stepped out of the Maybach, wrapping my silk scarf a little tighter against the wind. Tyler stepped out beside me, his long, dark coat unbuttoned, his tall, broad frame casting a formidable shadow across the wet pavement."You're cutting it close with air traffic control, Julian," Marcus noted, stepping up with his secure tablet under his arm. "Tokyo Flight Ops gave us a strict landing window at Haneda.""Tokyo will wait fifteen minutes for a Bennett, Marcus," Julian grinned, tossing his duffel to the flight attendant before turning back to us. He walked over, his slate-gray eyes softening as he looked at me. "Take care of the home front, Little Bird."I stepped into his arms, wrapping mine tightly around his neck. "You call me the second you land in Tokyo. No vanishing into off-grid tech labs like you used to.""Those days are over, Sarah," Julian murmured softly against my hair, squeezing me tight before pulling back. He held my shoulders, his gaze steady and clear. "We brought ou

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Dilly Dalling All Night

    Inside, Tyler stood before the full-length mirror, attempting to tame a silk tie that Leena had proudly selected for him."If you take that off, you'll break her heart," I said, stepping up behind him in the dressing room and resting my chin against his broad shoulder in the reflection.Tyler caught my eye in the glass, a soft, dry smile touching his lips. "I am the chief executive officer of a four-billion-dollar global conglomerate, Sarah. I have successfully executed hostile buyouts on three continents. And yet, I am currently terrified of my four-year-old daughter's design opinions.""As you should be," I laughed, my fingers stepping in to fix the knot without ruining the crease. "Besides, royal blue suits you. It accents the ruthless titan in your eyes."Tyler turned in my arms, pulling me flush against him. His large hands slid around my waist, his heavy silver band cool against the silk of my wrap dress. "And what does your dress accent?" he rumbled, his voice dropping into th

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Permanent Peace

    Standing in the grand atrium before a crowd of engineers, board directors, and distinguished university fellows, a quiet, profound warmth bloomed in my chest. For five years, my father’s name had been whispered in hushed tones across Wall Street—a cautionary tale of a brilliant inventor crushed beneath the weight of corporate greed. Today, his name was carved into white Italian marble at the entrance of a two-hundred-million-dollar research institute funded entirely by the Rider-Bennett Group.Tyler stood beside me, his hand resting warm and steady against the small of my back. He looked immaculate in a dark charcoal three-piece suit, his presence commanding the room without a single raised word. When the press photographers adjusted their lenses, Tyler didn't pose; his dark eyes remained fixed on me, carrying an absolute, quiet devotion that said more than any formal press release ever could."Ladies and gentlemen," I spoke into the podium microphone, my voice clear and ringing out w

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Underground Worker.

    I shifted beneath the covers, my body warm and thoroughly relaxed. Beside me, Tyler was already half-awake, leaning back against a stack of crisp white pillows. His dress shirt from the night before was unbuttoned at the chest, his dark hair slightly disheveled, radiating that quiet, magnetic authority that still had the power to make my pulse hammer against my ribs. The moment I moved, his dark eyes turned to me, burning with an intense, unyielding warmth."You're awake," he rumbled softly, his voice raspy with sleep. He set his tablet on the mahogany nightstand and shifted toward me, his large, warm hand sliding beneath the duvet to rest possessively over the curve of my hip."I was enjoying the quiet," I murmured, turning onto my side and resting my hand flat against his chest, feeling the slow, steady rhythm of his heart. "It feels surreal not waking up to a midnight security dispatch from Alan, a press crisis, or an emergency legal filing from Zurich.""Julian sent the initial qu

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Taking Absolute Control

    Evelyn stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, a glass of dark Pinot Noir resting lightly in her hand, watching the evening shadows lengthen over the estate."Alistair’s formal resignation from the Vance Trust board was processed twenty minutes ago," Evelyn said, her voice smooth and resonant in the quiet room. "He’s currently on a commercial flight back to Heathrow. He’s surrendered his board voting rights in exchange for his private trust remaining liquid.""He got off easy," Julian remarked from his seat across the table, leaning back with a glass of scotch. He had unbuttoned his collar, looking far more relaxed than I had ever seen him. "A few years ago, Norman would have had him ruined before midnight.""Norman is six feet under, Julian," Tyler said firmly, stepping up behind my chair. His hand settled over my shoulder, the heat of his palm radiating through the silk of my blouse. "We don't govern by fear or execution. We govern by absolute control."I looked up at my husband, rea
