The words on the screen changed again.

AVA REED IS NOW THE PRIMARY CLAIMANT.

Ava stared at them.

“No.”

Ethan turned toward her.

“What is it?”

She shook her head.

“I don't know.”

The archive alarm continued pulsing red.

Marcus moved toward the control panel.

“I can shut this down.”

“Do it.”

“I need thirty seconds.”

“You have ten.”

Marcus gave him a look.

“Then don't distract me.”

Ethan turned back to Ava.

She was still holding the letter.

Her hands had stopped shaking.

That frightened him more.

  • He Lost Me Before He Knew About Our Triplets   Chapter 114 — The Truth She Was Afraid to Ask

    The first time Ava considered leaving her husband again, it was over a sentence he hadn't said.She stood outside Ethan's study at 9:38 on Thursday night, one hand resting against the doorframe, listening to the low murmur of his voice through the half-open door.“No. She doesn't know about it yet.”Ava stopped breathing.Ethan paused.“I need to speak to her first. I won't have someone else make that decision for us.”A second voice crackled through his phone, too faint for Ava to understand.Then Ethan said the words that turned her wedding ring cold against her skin.“If she finds out from anyone else, it'll damage everything we've rebuilt.”Ava stepped back.For a moment, the hallway seemed to tilt beneath her feet.She could have pushed open the door. She could have asked him what he meant, demanded the truth, and given him the chance to explain.Instead, her mind supplied an answer before he could.Another secret.Another decision made without her.Another moment when the man sh

  • He Lost Me Before He Knew About Our Triplets   Chapter 113 — The Morning After Forever

    At 4:17 a.m., Ava woke to find her wedding ring missing.For three heart-stopping seconds, she lay perfectly still, staring at the pale band of skin around her finger.Then she remembered taking the ring off before bed because her hand had swollen slightly during the ceremony.She remembered placing it on the bedside table.She remembered Ethan telling her, with that maddening confidence of his, that nothing could possibly go wrong on their wedding night.And she remembered the soft click of the bedroom door sometime after midnight.Ava sat up.The space beside her was empty.“Ethan?”No answer.She reached for the lamp and scanned the bedside table. Her ring was gone. So was Ethan's watch, which he had left beside his cuff links.Her stomach tightened.She pulled on her robe and stepped into the hallway.The house was silent, the kind of silence that came before dawn, when even familiar rooms seemed to belong to strangers. She checked the sitting room, the kitchen, and the study.Not

  • He Lost Me Before He Knew About Our Triplets   Chapter 112 — The Vows He Almost Couldn't Say

    Ethan Blackwood had faced hostile shareholders, criminal accusations, and the possible collapse of his family's empire without losing his ability to speak.Yet on the morning of his wedding, he stood alone in a locked bathroom, staring at three handwritten pages, unable to get past the first sentence.Not because he didn't know what he felt.Because, for the first time in his life, he understood that saying the right words was the easiest part of keeping a promise.His phone vibrated on the counter.A message from Ava appeared.Are you hiding from me on our wedding day?Despite himself, Ethan smiled.I'm preparing.Her reply came almost immediately.You've been preparing for three weeks. If you rewrite those vows again, I'm coming in there and marrying you before you finish.He laughed, and some of the tightness in his chest eased.Then another message arrived.One more thing. Lucas wants to speak to you before the ceremony. Alone.The smile faded.Ethan read the message twice.He had

  • He Lost Me Before He Knew About Our Triplets   Chapter 111 — The Promise We Make Again

    The wedding invitation arrived on a Tuesday morning, and Ava Blackwood knew something was wrong before she read a single word.It was the expression on Lucas’s face.Her eldest son stood in the kitchen doorway, holding the cream envelope between both hands as if it were something fragile enough to shatter. At nine, he had Ethan’s serious eyes and Ava’s habit of hiding fear behind a stubborn silence. He had also learned, far too young, that beautiful things could arrive just before everything changed.“Is this really happening?” he asked.Ava set down her coffee.Across the kitchen, Ethan stopped spreading butter on a piece of toast. The knife remained suspended in his hand.On the envelope, their names were printed in elegant gold lettering.AVA BLACKWOOD AND ETHAN BLACKWOODBeneath them, in smaller type, were the words A celebration of the family we choose.Ava had approved the design two weeks earlier. She had smiled when the printer sent the proof. She had laughed when Noah suggest

  • He Lost Me Before He Knew About Our Triplets   Chapter 110 — Our Family, At Last

    The first time Ava Reed chose to come home to Ethan Blackwood, she did not bring a suitcase.She brought four children, a wooden airplane with a crooked tail, a stuffed rabbit wearing a blue ribbon, and a question she had been afraid to ask for five years."Are you sure you want us here?" she asked.Ethan stood in the doorway of the house he had once believed could keep his family safe simply because it was his. Morning sunlight fell across the entrance, illuminating the four children clustered around Ava's legs. Lucas held the repaired airplane. Lily carried the framed family photograph. Noah wore his dragon crown, and Evelyn had tucked Mr. Buttons beneath her arm.Ethan looked at them, then at Ava.He knew what the question really meant.Not whether there was room in the house. Not whether the bedrooms were ready or the kitchen was stocked or the staff had prepared everything she might need.She was asking whether she could enter this home without surrendering the right to leave it.

  • He Lost Me Before He Knew About Our Triplets   Chapter 109 — The Man Ava Chose

    The morning Ethan Blackwood finally stopped trying to earn his way back into Ava's life was the morning she asked him to leave.He had arrived at her house expecting an ordinary Saturday. Lucas had requested help with his airplane's final repairs, Noah wanted to test whether a cardboard dragon could fly from the top of the sofa, and Lily had announced that the family needed another photograph because the first one did not include the new picture Evelyn had drawn of Mr. Buttons.Ethan had brought no gifts.He had brought the small tool kit Lucas preferred, a bag of groceries Ava had asked him to pick up, and the quiet hope that the day might end with the two of them sitting together after the children went to bed.Then he found Ava standing beside the kitchen table, holding a folded document."Can we talk before the children come downstairs?" she asked.The carefulness in her voice made him put down the groceries."Of course."She glanced at the document, then back at him."I need some
