His Contract Wife's Secret Twins CHAPTER SEVENTY
Armando's POVI waited until Zahara's footsteps faded up the staircase. Before I headed to my study and picked up my phone and called the head of my private security division.A man named Griggs who had handled matters for me long enough that he rarely needed more than a few sentences to understand exactly what I wanted."I need protection placed on a building," I said, once he answered. "Discreet. I do not want the resident to know it is there.""Address."I gave him the location of Priya's building. Along with a description of the sedan Zahara had photographed that morning."There is already surveillance on the block. I want your team close enough to intervene if anything escalates, But far enough back that no one notices a second set of eyes watching the first.""Understood. How many men?""Enough," I said. "This is not a matter I want handled with half measures."Griggs did not ask further questions, which was exactly why I trusted him with things like this. Within the hour he con

Zahara's POVI sat in the driveway for a long time after reading the investigator's message. The sedan's slow, patient stillness replaying itself over and over in my mind.Not a coincidence. And I had known that the moment I noticed it had not moved in fifteen minutes. But seeing it confirmed in writing made the fear feel heavier, more permanent. Like something I could no longer talk myself out of.****I found Armando in the kitchen when I finally went inside. An unusual place for him at this hour. And he was just standing at the counter with a cup of coffee he did not appear to be drinking...exhaustion openly carved into every line of his face."You are up early," I said."I never went to bed." He studied me carefully, noticing something in my expression immediately."What happened? It seems you left again last night?"I did not have the energy left to build another careful story. Not after everything the past two days had already cost both of us."I drove past Priya's building this

Zahara's POVSamantha answered on the third ring. Her voice groggy but alert once she understood who was calling at that hour."Zahara. Is something wrong?""I need you to check on them," I said. My hands still trembling from Armando's warning only minutes earlier."Right now, please. Check every window. Every lock."I heard her moving through the house. Her footsteps quick against hardwood floors. And the longest thirty seconds of my life passed before her voice returned. Steady and clear."They are fine. Both sleeping. Nothing looks disturbed."Relief nearly buckled my knees. Though it did not fully loosen the fear still gripping my chest."I am so sorry to call this late. I just needed to hear it myself.""Do not apologize, okay? Call me anytime. Day or night." She paused. Brief. Kind of agitating."But Zahara, should I be worried about something specific?"I hesitated. Weighing exactly how much to tell her, and I decided honesty was the only fair thing to offer someone who had alr
His Contract Wife's Secret Twins CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN
Arthur Wolfson's POVI heard about the lost vehicle within the hour. Voss did not call me himself. He rarely called anyone himself when something went wrong.Instead the message came through Marcus this time. Careful and brief. The same way bad news always seemed to reach me lately…filtered through someone else's caution before it ever touched my own hands directly.I did not like it. Thirty years of working for Desmond Voss had taught me many things. And one of them was this. Patience worked well when you controlled every piece on the board. It worked far less well when the pieces started moving on their own, faster than anyone could track them.I called Marcus back within minutes."Tell me exactly what happened?" I said."The woman and the children left the safehouse in an unmarked car. Voss's man lost them three blocks out. That is all I know right now.""That is not enough." I kept my voice low and even. Though something sharp moved beneath it. "Voss has had eyes on that family fo

Desmond Voss's POVMarcus arrived exactly on time. Just the way he always did. And I still respected that about him, even after all these years. Punctual men I know, make fewer mistakes than nervous ones.I poured two drinks for us and handed him one before he even sat down. He did not usually drink during these type of meetings. But tonight I wanted him relaxed enough to truly listen. Not simply nod along the way he often did when his mind was already racing ahead to his own concerns."You said everything had changed?" he said. Taking the seat across from my desk. "I would really like to understand what you mean by that""Sit back, Marcus. This will take a while to explain properly."I settled into my own chair. Looking out at the city lights through the window behind him…the same view I had looked at for thirty years while I built something patient enough to finally reach this exact moment."How much do you actually know about why I care so deeply about the Lawson family?""I know y

Marcus Kane's POVI felt it before I understood exactly what I was feeling. The small, cold shift in how people looked at me lately. Nothing overt. No accusations, no confrontations.Only a slight delay before Armando answered my calls now. And a few extra questions from his assistant about routine requests I had made a hundred times before without comment.Ten years of careful, patient work had taught me to notice exactly this kind of change before most people even realized they were making it.I arrived at the estate that afternoon under the pretense of reviewing quarterly filings. Though my actual purpose was simpler and considerably more urgent.Voss had called twice in the past two days. His patience wearing thinner each time. And I understood clearly that whatever suspicion was gathering around me needed to be redirected quickly. Before it hardened into something I could no longer talk my way around.Armando met me in his study. Exhaustion written plainly across his face in a wa
