“Don’t you dare tell me that again, Doctor!” Sky shrieked.

Her hand trembled as she lifted the cigarette to her lips, taking in a sharp drag before releasing the smoke shakily.

Across the polished oak desk, Dr. Stephan exhaled. He clasped his hands together, resting them on the table before him. His voice, though calm, held a steel edge.

“Well, Mrs. Bellamy, you’re literally killing your child.”

The words hit her like a slap.

Her eyes flared. “Watch your tone, Doctor. You work for me!”

His jaw tensed, but he didn’t stop. “I’m reminding you one more time. Smoking during pregnancy is dangerous. It increases the chances of premature birth, low weight, and congenital defects. And that’s not all. It raises the risk of SIDS—sudden infant death syndrome. This isn’t a suggestion, Sky. This is a warning.”

Her heart thumped loudly in her chest, the smoke c

  • Falling For My Ex-Husband's Best Friend   Chapter 86

    The streets of San Francisco blurred past the window, neon lights and dim streetlamps blending into one long stream of gold and grey.No one spoke. Haley simply held her son close, his tiny fingers curled into her blouse as if he, too, sensed that something bad had happened tonight.When they finally pulled up at the Bellamy estate, the tall iron gates opened silently, and Kennedy guided the SUV into the wide circular driveway. Gretchen slipped out first, gently wrapping her arm around Haley’s shoulder as they entered the house. Tessa followed behind, carrying Kyrell carefully.Two housemaids waited at the entrance, already aware of the situation. Kennedy handed the chauffeur his car keys and gave instructions to bring in the bags.“Do you want anything to eat, sweetheart? I’ll have the kitchen whip something up immediately.” Gretchen offered, her tone laced with the kind of care that only came from years of nurturing.&ldqu

    Jace leaned against the edge of his desk, his gaze drifting absently through the windows of his office. His mind was somewhere else, buried in the mess he’d made.He had lifted the blinds earlier so the room wouldn’t feel so damn suffocating, but even the breeze did nothing to ease the weight on his chest. His hands were shoved into the pockets of his trousers, jaw tight, shoulders set.The drive back from Haley’s house had been silent, a silence so heavy it had become a scream in his head. He couldn’t shake the guilt this time. What he had done wasn’t something he could just shrug off with a drink. No, this time, he had crossed a line he shouldn’t have.When he’d walked into the house with the men, he wasn’t expecting the nursery to shake him the way it did. But then he saw Kyrell. Tiny. Peaceful. Innocent. And something in him cracked.He had originally planned to make Haley feel unsafe, to make her understand that eyes were on her every second. He want

    Sky gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning pale as she sped through Market Street. Her palm slammed against the leather a few times in frustration, the thud echoing through the car’s quiet interior. She regretted ever agreeing to stay back for lunch.Sure, Michael had apologized, flashed that annoying grin of his, and made peace with her, but the sting of his words still burned. He hadn’t changed at all. If anything, he had gotten worse. Even though he’d spoken the truth, not everything had to be said that way or even said at all.Her mind raced as she replayed the moment at the dining table.She had wanted to escape the questions. To avoid his interrogation. To breathe.But she’d made the mistake of agreeing when Edward had gently asked her to stay for lunch. And the moment she sat at that long mahogany table, she knew it was a mistake.“So, when are you going to give Dad his first grandchild, Sky?&r

    Eden sat motionless on the edge of the bed, her knees pulled tightly against her chest, her forehead pressed into her folded arms. Her shoulders trembled silently, betraying the tears she had worked so hard to suppress earlier when she spoke with Haley and Tessa.Kyrell leaned on the wall and watched her from across the room.“I can’t keep lying to her, Kyrell,” Eden choked out, lifting her face at last. Her eyes were red and glossy, her lips trembling.“You haven’t lied to anyone,” Kyrell replied softly from where he stood, his voice low and steady.“Yes, I did. I told her I was fine. I told everyone I was fine. But I’m not. I don’t even know where I am anymore. I was trapped for months. Yet they believe I’m okay.” She wiped at her tears furiously with her palm.“Hey. You’re with me now.” Kyrell took a step closer, his voice firm but gentle.“I want to

    The late afternoon sun filtered softly through the windows of Haley’s living room, casting a warm amber glow over the cream-colored curtains. The place smelled faintly of cinnamon and warm vanilla from the candle she had lit earlier. She had tidied the house, prepared tea, and was anxiously waiting for Tessa.She hadn’t seen her friend this excited in months, not since Eden had gone missing in Chicago. So, when Haley heard the quick knock on the door and then saw Tessa step in, eyes already shining, she knew what was coming.Tessa dropped her handbag carelessly onto the plush couch and spun around with disbelief written all over her face.“Haley, tell me again, are you sure she called? Eden actually called you?” she asked, her voice trembling as she spoke.Haley exhaled softly and gave her a small nod. Confirming what she had said earlier over the phone.“I’ve told you already, Tessa. She called last nig

    The drive into downtown Chicago was unlike anything Eden had imagined. The city shimmered in a breathtaking display of lights that danced across the mirrored surfaces of skyscrapers. Her hands were folded tightly against her chest as she gazed through the car window, trying to take in every detail of the city that felt alive in the night.Kyrell slowed the car, reversing carefully into a reserved parking space beneath a luxurious building. The underground parking lot glowed softly with pale amber lights, giving everything a warm, inviting hue. He glanced at her with a small grin as he switched off the engine.“This is beautiful,” Eden
