Fat Castaway Rises Again CHAPTER 62
NADINE POVI could not breathe. The photo sat on the dresser where Lysander had placed it and I could not stop staring. Desmond is holding my babies. My Jordan. My Jared. His hands on their tiny bodies. The image burned into my brain until I thought I would go mad."Nadine." Lysander touched my shoulder gently. "You need to rest.""Rest?" I spun around, hysteria rising in my throat. "How can I rest when he was here? When he touched them? When your security did not even know?"His jaw tightened. The guilt in his eyes was raw and bleeding but I could not stop myself. Fear had transformed into anger and it needed somewhere to go."How did he get in, Lysander?" My voice cracked. "You promised we were safe. You said the security was the best. But he walked right in and held our sons and we did not even know!""I know." His voice was barely a whisper.

LYSANDER POVI stared at the letter until the words blurred. Congratulations on the babies. It would be a shame if something happened to them. My hands shook with a rage so violent I thought I might combust. Desmond had threatened many things over the years. My business. My reputation. My marriage. But my sons? My newborn sons?"Lysander?" Nadine's voice pulled me back. She looked terrified, one hand pressed against her mouth.I forced myself to breathe. To think. To not let fury cloud my judgment when my family needed me sharp."Call Marcus," I said, my voice coming out cold and controlled. "Tell him to get security here now. Four guards minimum. And get someone to check every entrance to this building."She nodded and pulled out her phone with trembling fingers. I watched her walk away before I allowed myself to crush the letter in my fist. Desmond wanted war. He would get one. But this time I would not hold back. This time I would destroy him completely.Within an hour, the pentho

NADINE POVThe contraction ripped through my body like fire, sharp and unforgiving. I gasped, gripping the hospital bed railing as pain exploded across my abdomen. Thirty-four weeks. Too early. Not yet. Please, not yet."Lysander." My voice came out strangled and desperate.He was there instantly, his hand wrapping around mine. "I am here, love. I am right here."Another contraction hit, stronger this time. The monitor beside me beeped frantically and nurses rushed in. Their faces were calm but their movements were quick and efficient. That scared me more than anything."We need to prep for delivery," the lead nurse said. "The babies are coming.""But it is too early." Panic clawed at my throat. "They need more time."Dr. Morrison appeared, her expression steady and reassuring. "Thirty-four weeks is early but n

ARES POVThe television screen glowed in my dark apartment, the only light in a place that felt more like a tomb than a home. John Baker's face filled the screen, handcuffed and being led into a police car. The reporter's voice droned on about federal charges and criminal networks.But that was not what made my hands shake."In related news, Nadine Sterling, wife of billionaire Lysander Sterling, was rushed to the hospital last night in a medical emergency. Sources say she is six months pregnant with twins and is now on strict bed rest. The couple has requested privacy during this difficult time."Nadine. In the hospital. Because of stress. Because people like John Baker and people like me had made her life hell.I turned off the television and sat in silence. My apartment was small now. Cheap. Nothing like the penthouse I used to own or the office that once had my name on the door. Everything I built had crumbled because I was too arrogant to see the truth.I destroyed the best thing

NADINE POVThe world tilted sideways and pain exploded through my belly. Sharp. Wrong. Terrifying.Lysander's arms caught me before I hit the floor. "Nadine, stay with me. Look at me."But I could not look at anything except the blood spreading across my dress. Too much blood. Blood that meant something terrible was happening to my babies."Call the doctor," I gasped. "Please. The twins."Lysander already had his phone out, barking orders I could not fully process. Security. Medical team. Hospital. Words that blurred together as another wave of pain crashed through me.He carried me to the car. I remember that. His face pale and terrified. His hands shaking as he buckled me in. The way he drove too fast down the long estate driveway while talking to someone on speakerphone."She is bleeding. Yes, six and a half

LYSANDER POVI stared at the spreadsheet on my laptop, numbers that represented more than money. They represented leverage. Power. The end of John Baker.Marcus sat across from me in the downtown office, exhaustion written in the lines around his eyes. "You are sure this will work?""It has to." I leaned back in my chair, fingers steepled under my chin. "John is desperate. Desperate men make stupid choices. We just need to give him the right opportunity."The plan was simple in theory and complex in execution. I had my team create a fake investment opportunity, a struggling tech company with assets John could liquidate quickly. The kind of deal that looked too good to be true because it was. But John would not see that. He would see quick money and a way to pay off Viktor Petrov."We leak it through Susan," I said. "She tells John she overheard me talk
