"It appears Daniella Mitchell may be the person sending them."

The words didn't make sense.

Not at first.

Dani simply stared at the police officer.

Her mind refusing to process what she'd just heard.

Behind her, Julian went completely still.

Dangerously still.

"What?" Dani whispered.

The officer maintained a professional expression.

"I'm going to need you to come inside with us, Ms. Mitchell."

The flashing police lights painted the apartment building in alternating shades of red and blue.

    Room 214.Dani stared at the words on the photograph.The air seemed to leave her lungs.Slowly.Painfully.As though her body suddenly forgot how to breathe.The faded sign remained frozen on her phone screen.St. Mary's Children's Home.Room 214 Memorial Garden.A place she had never heard of.A place she had never visited.A place she absolutely should not recognize.Yet something deep inside her stirred.Not a memory.Not exactly.More like a feeling.A strange tug beneath the surface.The sensation vanished almost immediately.Leaving only confusion behind."No."The word escaped before she could stop it.Julian stood beside her.Watching carefully.His expression hard.Focused.Dangerously focused."What is it?""I've never been ther

    “The baby isn’t the surprise. You are.”The words echoed through Dani’s head.Again.And again.And again.The recovered DNA report trembled slightly in Julian’s hand.Nobody moved.Nobody spoke.The rain battered the penthouse windows like a thousand tiny fists, turning the city beyond into a blur of gray lights and shadows.Dani stared at Julian.Her heart hammering so hard it hurt."What does that mean?"Her voice came out thinner than she intended.Fragile.Afraid.For the first time in weeks, she wasn't thinking about Stella.Or Elena Cross.Or Thomas Reed.Or the murders.She was thinking about herself.And somehow that terrified her more.Julian didn't answer immediately.His eyes remained locked on the report.His jaw clenched.The muscle there twitching.A sign she had learned to recognize.Julian Carter Vance was rattled.Deeply rattled.And that almost never happened."Julian."This time Stella spoke.Sharp.Impatient."What does the report say?"Slowly, Julian lowered the

    "The nurse was murdered twenty minutes ago."The words hit the room like an explosion.Everything stopped.Julian stood frozen near the penthouse door.His phone still pressed against his ear.His knuckles white.His expression hollow.For a moment, nobody spoke.Nobody moved.The rain hammered against the floor-to-ceiling windows.A relentless rhythm that somehow made the silence feel even heavier.Dani stared at him.Hoping she'd heard wrong.Praying she'd misunderstood.But one look at Julian's face told her the truth.The nurse was dead.Really dead this time.The final witness.The woman who had been there.The woman who knew what happened.The woman who could have explained everything.Gone.Again, they had been too late.Again, someone had gotten there first.

    The results were stolen.For a moment, Dani thought she had misheard him.The city noise faded.The wind disappeared.Even the distant sounds of traffic seemed to vanish.There was only Julian.And those four devastating words.The results were stolen.Her hand instinctively moved to her stomach.Fear twisted inside her chest.Because suddenly the anonymous message from earlier felt much more dangerous.Not Julian's baby.Whoever had sent it had known something.Or wanted them to believe they did.Either possibility was terrifying."What do you mean stolen?"Her voice sounded thin.Barely recognizable.Julian's expression remained grim."The lab was breached."The answer did nothing to calm her."In person?""I don't know yet."The fact that he didn't know was almost wo

    Not Julian’s baby.The words glowed on Dani’s screen.Bright.Cold.Impossible.For a moment, she forgot how to breathe.The penthouse disappeared around her.The conspiracy.The murders.The switched babies.Elena Cross.The living nurse.Everything faded behind those three devastating words.Not Julian’s baby.Her hand instinctively moved to her stomach.A protective gesture.A frightened gesture.A furious gesture.Because whoever had sent the message had crossed a line.A dangerous line.Julian saw it immediately.The change in her expression.The tension in her body.The fear.“What is it?”His voice sounded sharp.Controlled.Dani couldn't answer.Not right away.Because if she said the words aloud, they would

    Elena Cross was holding a gun.Every screen in the penthouse displayed the same image.A live surveillance feed.A hospital corridor.Room 214.Present day.Not twenty-eight years ago.Not an archived recording.Now.The timestamp in the corner updated every second.Proof.Terrifying proof.Dani stared at the screen.Unable to look away.The woman who had supposedly died nearly three decades ago stood beneath the fluorescent hospital lights.Older.Grayer.But unmistakably the same woman from the photographs.The same woman Thomas Reed had been investigating.The same woman connected to the switched babies.And she was armed.Nobody spoke.Nobody moved.The room had become frozen.Locked in collective disbelief.Then Stella whispered:"Oh God.

    "Where were you on Friday morning?"The question hit Dani like a physical blow.For a moment, she forgot how to breathe.The break room suddenly felt too warm.Too quiet.Too small.Julian stood across from her, one hand resting against the edge of the counter, his dark gaze fixed entirely on her f

    Monday morning arrived too quickly.Dani stood in front of her bathroom mirror trying to convince herself she looked normal.The attempt failed.She looked exhausted.Dark circles beneath her eyes.Tension around her mouth.The kind of expression that came from carrying too many secrets.Her gaze d

    Dani barely slept.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the pregnancy test sitting on the table between her and Julian.Saw his dark gaze fixed on her.He knew something was wrong.Maybe not the truth.Not yet.But he was getting closer.And Julian Carter Vance wasn't the kind of man who abandon

    The pregnancy test sat between them. Small. White. Harmless-looking. Yet Dani had never seen anything more terrifying. The ballroom had almost emptied. Only a few employees remained in the distance, gathering decorations and packing equipment. Far enough away. Far enough not to he
