“Twins?”

Lauren’s voice was barely a breath. She couldn't take her eyes off the screen, her brain trying to make sense of the double image. “That’s… that’s two. Two of them.”

Colt was silent beside her. He stared at the two identical shapes with an almost frightening intensity, his hand tightening around hers.

“Colt, you’re hurting me,” Lauren whispered, gently trying to pry her fingers from his iron grip.

That seemed to snap the fog. He blinked, his chest rising and falling with a deep, shaky breath. He looked like a man trying to solve a complex equation in his head that simply wouldn't balance.

“Colt?” Lauren nudged him, her worry shifting from the babies to the man beside her. “Say something.”

He cleared his throat, his eyes finally meeting hers. “This is…” He trailed off, his gaze drifting back to the monitor before returning to hers. “This is unexpected.”

The doctor smiled gently. “It happens more often when there is a family history of twins.”

Lauren frowned, her mind spinning

  • Falling For My Boss   Chapter 72: No One Walks Away Clean

    “Madison!” Grant’s voice boomed. He slammed his palms onto the mahogany desk and shoved his chair back so hard the wheels screeched against the floor. “What the hell are you doing here? This is a private meeting!”Madison didn’t flinch. She walked farther into the office as if she owned it, her heels clicking sharply against the floor. She moved around the desk and stopped beside her father, close enough to touch him.“Daddy,” she said, her voice dropping into a sweet purr. She looked up at him with wide, fake-innocent eyes. “I came to make sure you weren't letting this... this traitor talk you into another mistake.”Grant looked down at her, his jaw working so hard a vein throbbed in his temple. “How did you even know he was here, Madison? I told my staff no interruptions.”Madison let out a sharp, mocking laugh and rolled her eyes. “Please. Do you really think I’d let my future husband sneak into your office without me knowing?”Grant’s face hardened. “Are you spying on me in my own

    Colt slid into his car and slammed the door. He couldn't start the engine. He just sat there, his hands white-knuckled as he gripped the steering wheel.Logan’s building loomed in front of him. That meeting was supposed to be his salvation. Instead, he’d walked right into a trap set by the man Lauren had once loved.He leaned his head back against the headrest and closed his eyes. His chest felt hollow, like someone had reached inside and ripped out his heart, leaving nothing but a cold, aching hole.If he had known.If he had known the CEO was her ex-fiancé, he never would have walked in with a smile on his face. He felt like a fool, a desperate, blind one.He exhaled roughly and rubbed his face. His phone lay silent on the passenger seat, heavy with options he did not want to touch. But there was one last thing he had been avoiding doing.Colt picked up the phone. His thumb hovered as he scrolled through his contact list, his heartbeat thudding in his ears. Grant Baker’s name stare

  • Falling For My Boss   Chapter 70: The Price of Love

    Colt felt the air leave his lungs as if he had been kicked in the stomach. The office was dead silent, the only sounds the faint hum of the air conditioner and the thudding of his own heart.“Leave Lauren?” Colt finally whispered, the words tasting like poison on his tongue. He let out a sharp, jagged laugh that held no joy. He shook his head, staring at Logan as if Logan had suddenly grown a second head. “You can’t be serious. You’re standing here, in your expensive suit, in your fancy office, trying to buy a woman, a human being?”“I am very serious,” Logan said, standing behind his desk, his eyes fixed on Colt’s face. “Don't twist my words. I’m not buying her, Colt. I’m rescuing her from you.”Colt’s blood turned to fire. He slammed his palms onto the desk, the sound echoing through the room. He leaned in until their faces were inches apart. “Do you realize what you’re asking? She is pregnant with my child."“I am very aware,” Logan replied calmly. “The whole world knows, Colt. Eve

  • Falling For My Boss   Chapter 69: The Price of Letting Go

    “What the hell are you talking about?” Colt asked, his voice sharp, confusion cutting through him.The man didn’t flinch. He stood his ground, his jaw shifting as he ground his teeth together. His eyes weren't just cold anymore; they burned with raw hatred. “I’m talking about Lauren,” he hissed. “The woman you stole from me."Colt’s eyebrows pulled together. He felt a sickening crawl of suspicion move up his spine, settling at the base of his skull. He took a slow step forward, his expensive leather shoes clicking on the polished floor. “I don’t understand,” he said, the words coming out slow and dangerous. “How do you know her?"Logan’s chest rose as he drew in a deep, shaky breath. He adjusted the lapel of his suit jacket, a movement far too calm for the fire in his eyes. “I’m Logan,” he said. "Lauren’s fiancé.”The words hit like a punch.Colt shut his eyes tight. He dragged his hands down his face, his palms rough against his skin, trying to ground himself before he did something

  • Falling For My Boss   Chapter 68: The Door That Slams Shut

    Colt was already dressed and ready to leave the house, his fingers trembling from a mix of caffeine and raw nerves. He stood before the full-length mirror, but he didn't see a billionaire. He saw a man holding a crumbling empire together with his bare hands.His phone buzzed on the dresser, vibrating against the wood. He snatched it up and checked the screen. It was Alex.He answered immediately.“Hey!” Alex’s voice came through bright and easy. “Just calling to check in. Today’s the big day, right? The Quantum merger meeting with the CEO?”Colt closed his eyes and let out a long, ragged breath. He leaned his forehead against the cool glass of the mirror. “Yeah, Alex. If this doesn't go through, the board is going to have my head on a stake. The headlines about Lauren have already wiped five percent off our stock.”“You’ll be fine,” Alex said, his tone turning serious. “I’ve heard the new CEO is a reasonable guy. He likes winners, and you’re the biggest one I know. Call me when you’ve

  • Falling For My Boss   Chapter 67: When Words Become Weapons

    Mia walked into the office at 7:55 a.m., but she already felt like she’d worked a double shift.The lights above her were too bright, stabbing at her eyes. Her head throbbed. She hadn’t slept a wink. Every time she closed her eyes, she heard Lauren’s voice on the phone, small and terrified. She had spent the night staring at her ceiling, wondering how the world could be so cruel to her best friend.She reached her cubicle, slung her leather bag onto the chair, and collapsed into it."Ugh."Mia leaned forward, burying her face in her hands. She pressed her forehead against the cold surface of her desk, hoping the chill would numb the pain in her head."Why do bad things happen to the best people?" she whispered to herself.Her chest felt tight. Lauren was pregnant, being dragged online, hated by people who had never met her. And here she was, stuck in an office, pretending to care about contracts and filing dates while her heart broke.She inhaled slowly, dragged her laptop toward her,
