"Ryan's," I said. The word tasted like copper. "That is what Jake told you."

Noah didn't answer. The stillness in his face was absolute. He stared at me through a pane of bulletproof glass, completely unreachable.

I kept my hands flat against my sides. "The baby is yours."

He stepped toward me. The heavy scent of cold mint and blood from his bandaged hand filled the space between us.

"You expect me to believe you," Noah stated. His voice carried zero inflection. "You sat on my lap in my study.

  • Dumped Yesterday, Owned by My ex's Mafia Uncle Today   Chapter 143

    [Caleb's POV]"Why does Marco want my mother?"Elena stood by the kitchen table, her fingers digging into the worn wood until her knuckles turned white.She didn't look like a woman who had just been thrown out into a storm. She looked like a predator waiting for a scent."The Boss doesn't know," I said. It was the only answer I had. "Neither do I. That is exactly what is driving him insane."She took a slow, measured breath, trying to steady the frantic pulse at the base of her throat. I reached into my charcoal suit jacket and pulled out another heavy envelope.I placed it on the table. The gold embossed seal of Marlowe Enterprises caught the dim light."The paternity acknowledgment," I stated. "A legal copy for your records. The Boss said you have a right to hold it."Elena stared at the envelope. She didn't touch it. Dr. Aris Shawn sat across from her, his fingers tapping a rhythmic, nervous beat against his knee. He was smart enough to keep his mouth shut.Finally, Elena tore the

    [Elena's POV]Nicole had pulled up a video on her phone.A reporter stood outside City Hall, microphone raised, voice professionally urgent. Behind her, through the glass doors, Noah's broad shoulders were visible for exactly three seconds before his security closed around him."Mr. Marlowe! Is it true you filed an emergency legal acknowledgment?" a reporter shrieked, shoving a microphone toward his face.Noah stopped. He turned his head, not toward the cameras, but toward the horizon, his jaw set in a line of rigid iron."My girlfriend is pregnant," Noah said. His voice was a low, dangerous rumble that cut through the chaotic shouting like a blade. "I am here to ensure that child and his mother carry the full protection of the Marlowe name. They are now an extension of my own life. Anyone who disagrees can take it up with me personally."He didn't wait for the follow-up. He turned and vanished into the back of the SUV, the tinted glass reflecting nothing but the gray city sky.Nicole

    [Noah's POV]"Are you absolutely certain, Mr. Marlowe?" The lawyer pushed his gold-rimmed spectacles up the bridge of his nose.His fingers shook as he slid the heavy fountain pen across the table. "Once this is filed with the registrar, it cannot be undone. It is an admission of paternity under the highest tier of the Marlowe family charter.""Sign the witness line, Bernstein," I said. My voice was a flat, dead rasp.I didn't look at the atmospheric arches of City Hall or the dust motes dancing in the morning light.I stared at the blood-stained white bandage wrapped around my right hand. The wound from the shattered whiskey glass had reopened, a small crimson bloom spreading through the gauze."This grants the child full legal protection," the lawyer whispered, his eyes darting to the armed guards at the door. "It means Marco and Jake lose all legal standing to categorize the mother or the fetus as an external threat. Anyone who moves against them will be moving against the direct h

    [Elena's POV]"I need time." Adrian's voice dropped to a low scrape in the quiet room.He looked at my pale face, his dark eyes falling to the hand I still kept pressed against my stomach. The rigid line of his shoulders finally dropped a fraction."You're carrying a little devil. You look like you're going to pass out right here on the floor. Go to sleep, Ellie. We will deal with the war tomorrow."He didn't make a promise, but he didn't walk out the door. It was enough for tonight.I went into the small back bedroom and lay down on the thin mattress. The rain lashed violently against the single window.Sleep was an absolute joke.I stared at the water stains on the ceiling. Every time I closed my eyes, Noah's dead, furious stare materialized in the dark.Take your prostitution money and get out of New York. The memory of the check hitting my face burned a fresh, raw path down my throat.I squeezed my eyes shut, digging my fingernails into my palms to stop the tears.But the anger im

    [Elena's POV]"Headlights," Liam shouted over the freezing rain. "Three black Escalades coming fast down the ridge."I looked past Adrian’s shoulder. The heavy Velgrave convoy tore down the wet asphalt, heading straight for our abandoned gas station.Noah. He either realized his mistake, or he decided throwing me out wasn't enough. He came to finish the job."Get in the car," Adrian ordered, grabbing my arm."I don't want to see him," I choked out, my wet clothes clinging to my shivering skin. The memory of the check hitting my face burned in my chest. "Adrian, I can't look at him right now.""You won't have to."Adrian shoved me into the backseat of the stolen SUV next to Nicole and slammed the door. He jumped into the driver's seat and gunned the engine.The tires screamed. We shot out of the gas station just as the lead Escalade breached the intersection.Liam rolled down the passenger window, the storm whipping inside, and fired three precise shots into the Escalade's front tire.

    [Noah's POV]I sat in the dark. The heavy brass door clicked shut, sealing out the sound of the freezing rain, but I still felt the chill. The one-million-dollar check lay untouched on the Persian rug.She was gone.I poured a glass of whiskey using my good hand. Blood from my bandaged palm smeared the crystal. I drank it straight. The alcohol burned a trail down my throat, but it didn't touch the cold rot spreading in my chest.She played me. She protected Ryan. I repeated the facts, locking them into place.I threw her out for another reason.Marco's men were actively hunting Jane Campbell. Jake was recruiting low-level thugs off the streets of Queens, arming them with untraceable cash. Monica just drained three offshore trust funds. The Marlowe family was fracturing from the inside.I lost six million in heavy weapons this morning. I lacked the manpower to protect a pregnant traitor and I lacked the focus.I wanted the little liar far away from New York. If she hated me, she would

    Elena's POVThe expensive room I was in felt like a luxurious prison, and my new phone in my hand seemed like shackles, merely giving me an illusion of freedom I thirst for.But I knew for a fact that everything I said and did was being watched. Yet, despite it all, a kind of reckless optimism flic

    Writer's Note:My apologies for the error regarding Adrian and Elena's age difference. They are actually nine years apart. Nicole and Elena are the same age, meaning that while the previous chapter stated Adrian is seven years older than Nicole, the correct age difference is nine years.[Nicole's P

    [Adrian's POV]Nicole's eyes were wide, curious, impossibly earnest, and for a moment I wished she were anyone else, someone I could lie to without hesitation, someone whose safety didn't already sit like a weight on my conscience.She watched me with a kind of open fascination, the sort of look pe
