"Because if you don't... I'm going to tell him tonight."

The line went dead.

Dani stood frozen in the restroom.

Her phone remained pressed against her ear.

The ultrasound photograph trembled in her hand.

Every ounce of blood seemed to drain from her body.

They knew.

Not suspected.

Not guessed.

Knew.

The anonymous caller knew about the pregnancy.

Knew it was Julian's.

Knew she hadn't told him.

And now they were threatening to expose everything.

Tonight.

A wave of nausea hit her.

She grabbed the

    If anything happens to me, promise you'll protect my daughter.The words stared back at Dani from the yellowed letter.Simple.Clear.Devastating.Her pulse thundered in her ears.The room seemed to shrink around her.The walls pressing closer.The air becoming heavier.Harder to breathe.Because there was only one question that mattered now.One question so terrifying she almost didn't want to ask it.Almost."Whose daughter?"The words came out as a whisper.Her mother's eyes filled with tears.Her father's face crumpled.And in that moment, before either of them answered, Dani already knew.Not the whole truth.But enough.Enough to understand that her life was about to split into two parts.Before this moment.And after.The silence stretched painfully.The

    Elena Cross was standing at the end of the street.Watching.Waiting.As if she'd known exactly when Dani would arrive.A cold wave swept through Dani's body.For a moment, nobody moved.The suburban neighborhood seemed frozen in time.The neatly trimmed lawns.The quiet houses.The children riding bicycles two blocks away.Everything looked normal.Yet nothing felt normal anymore.Because Elena Cross had somehow found her.Again.No matter where Dani went.No matter how many miles she traveled.Elena always seemed to be there.Watching from the shadows.Pulling invisible strings.The woman stood beside a black sedan parked beneath a large oak tree.Dressed in a dark coat despite the warm afternoon.One hand resting lightly against the vehicle.The other tucked into her pocket.

    Sarah Mitchell was dead.Dani stared at the name.Once.Twice.Three times.Hoping it would change.Hoping she'd misread it.Hoping exhaustion was finally catching up with her.It wasn't.The news article remained exactly the same.BODY IDENTIFIED AS SARAH MITCHELLThe letters seemed to blur together.Her pulse pounded violently in her ears.Because the name wasn't just familiar anymore.It wasn't just the mysterious name from the anonymous message.It was her name.Mitchell.The same last name she'd carried her entire life.The same last name as her parents.The same last name printed on every legal document she owned.A coincidence.It had to be.Except nothing about this situation felt like coincidence anymore.Julian watched her carefully.The concern in hi

    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.

  • FORBIDDEN: Pregnant By My Boss’s Husband   CHAPTER 24

    Everyone turned toward Julian.The silence inside the penthouse became unbearable.Dani could hear her own heartbeat.Fast.Loud.Relentless.The folder of evidence remained scattered across the dining table.Birth records.

  • FORBIDDEN: Pregnant By My Boss’s Husband   CHAPTER 23

    "Finally. Now we can talk."The voice came from somewhere inside the penthouse.Not through a phone.Not through a speaker.Not through a recording.Inside.Physically inside.Dani's heart nearly stopped.The darkness felt absolute.The sudden loss of power had swallowed everything.The city skylin

  • FORBIDDEN: Pregnant By My Boss’s Husband   CHAPTER 22

    "They found Thomas's DNA results."Nobody moved.Nobody breathed.The penthouse seemed to shrink around them.Julian stood frozen beside the table, his phone clenched tightly in one hand.The color had completely drained from his face.Da

  • FORBIDDEN: Pregnant By My Boss’s Husband   Chapter 1

    There was something heavy and stifling about the silence in the bathroom. It caught her attention just as soon as she closed the door behind her. Not an ordinary silence. Not a silence that made a room calm or comforting. A suffocating silence that made every breath feel forced. Her hands t
