Divorced by the billionaire, pregnant with his twins Chapter 101
**Damon's POV**I carried her through the hospital doors myself.I don't remember the drive. I remember her weight, no heavier than a coat, and the smell of her hair, and someone shouting my name before a nurse took her out of my arms.Then there was only the corridor, the cold white light, and the glass.Through the window of Bay Three, four nurses in blue scrubs moved in a tight ring around a small gurney. Chloe lay in the middle of it, lost under a tangle of lines and monitor leads, her face the color of paper.The monitor shrieked."Charge to one hundred!"The doctor who had looked after her since she was born backed out through the swinging doors, pulling a bloodied glove off his hand. His mask hung loose around his neck, and his forehead was slick with sweat."Damon." His calm bedside manner was gone. "Her heart went into a dangerous rhythm, and now there's bleeding near it. A vessel has torn. She's losing blood faster than we can replace it."The floor tilted under me."Fix it,

**Damon's POV**The wipers slapped across the windshield, but my eyes were on the gray highway leading toward the state forensic lab downtown.I had left the house meaning to go to the sheriff and give my statement about the crash, minutes into the drive, I changed my mind.A statement could wait. But two sets of swabs sealed in an aluminum case were on their way to a lab, and after the silver drive in Vanessa's jewelry chest, after the crash thirty yards from Mara's gate, after five years of living inside a quiet lie, I didn't trust the couriers or the Blackwood lawyers. I wanted to be at that lab in person. I wanted to stand in the corridor outside the sequencing room and watch the seals get logged.So I had turned the car around. The court's custody papers lay on the passenger seat, stamped with Judge Holloway's expedited order. My knuckles were white on the wheel.Then the dashboard lit up.**[Incoming Call: Home]**I reached to cut it off. I had said everything I meant to say to

**Mara's POV**"Ahem."The throat-clearing came from behind me, loud and deliberate.I pulled back from Ethan so fast my heel caught on the edge of the runner. My heart gave a guilty jolt, as if I'd been caught doing something wrong in my own hallway. For a few seconds, tucked against his chest with the smell of cedar and rain shutting out everything else, I had forgotten about everything. Reality came back so fast staring me on the face. I turned and smoothed the front of my cardigan, willing the heat in my neck to go away.The nanny stood by the archway to the kitchen, holding a grocery tote in both hands. She had gone out earlier to run an errand, and she had missed the officers, the swabs, and the crash at the gate. An awkward, sheepish smile twitched at the corner of her mouth."I didn't mean to interrupt, Ms. Bennett," she said, ducking her head. "I just came in through the service door. What would you like for lunch? And for dinner?"I cleared my throat and made my voice bri

**Vanessa's POV**"Vanessa! Vanessa, where are you? Come down here this instant!"Eleanor's shrill voice echoed up the grand staircase like breaking glass.I stood frozen on the upper landing, gripping the brass railing until my knuckles burned. My knees shook under my trousers. Damon had walked out of the bedroom barely an hour ago, saying nothing more, and had locked himself in his study. Now *she* was downstairs.I looked over the balcony into the marble foyer. Eleanor stood in the center of it, her tweed coat still damp from the courthouse rain, her handbag clutched in gloved hands like a weapon. Her face was twisted in furious disgust.Bitterness rose in my throat.*Look at her.* This was the same woman who had hovered over me when I carried Chloe, ordering organic broths and bed rest, treating me like a sacred vessel because I carried the next Blackwood heir. Now she was shouting at the foot of my stairs like a fishwife."What is it, mother?" I called down, keeping my voice flat

**Mara's POV**The intercom buzzed, sharp in the quiet hall.I crossed to the screen by the entryway. The camera at the gate showed a man standing in the drizzle with his long coat damp and his hands in his pockets, looking straight into the lens.Ethan.I pressed the release, and the heavy iron gates groaned open.The street outside was finally clearing. The smashed county van had been hauled away on a flatbed, the broken glass swept to the curb, and the cruiser had rolled off with its lights dark. I stepped onto the porch in my cardigan and folded my arms against the wind.He came up the drive with a steady stride. His hair was pushed back and glistening with mist, his gloves were gone, and a shadow of exhaustion pulled at the corners of his eyes.I met him at the bottom of the steps."The case?" I asked quietly."On its way to the lab under state patrol escort," he said, stopping on the top step and wiping a drop of rain from his brow. "The seals weren't broken. The chain of custody

**Vanessa's POV**The master suite looked like a storm had gone through it.I had torn through the dresser drawers and thrown sweaters and silk camisoles onto the floor. My heart was pounding, and cold sweat soaked the collar of my blouse. I had left the Carter Group the minute the driver stopped answering, and I had run every red light to get here.*Where is it? Where did I put the second SIM card?*The backup phone was dead. The key to the account that had paid for the truck was on a micro-drive I kept in the false bottom of my jewelry chest. If the police got into that first phone, it would take them hours to trace the money back to me.I knelt by the dressing table with shaking hands and pulled out the velvet trays, dumping diamonds and pearls onto the rug."Looking for this, Vanessa?"The voice was low and dry.I froze, then looked up.Damon was leaning against the doorframe. I hadn't heard him come in.His jacket was gone, and his white shirt was soaked through, streaked with ro
