His Contract Wife's Secret Twins CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT
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
His Contract Wife's Secret Twins CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX
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
His Contract Wife's Secret Twins CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE
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
His Contract Wife's Secret Twins CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR
Zahara's POVI did not sleep after Armando left my room. His words stayed with me long after the door closed...heavier than any argument we had ever had.A marriage built on selective truth is no marriage at all.I turned the sentence over again and again; and each time it hurt a little more. Because I knew he was right.Near midnight, I called Priya."I need to move them. Tonight, if we can manage it." I said. Even before she could even ask why I was calling so late."Zahara, it is almost midnight. What happened?""Too much."I pressed my hand against my forehead. Exhaustion pulling at every part of me. "Susan came to the estate today. She told Armando I have a secret family. He already suspects the rest, Priya. He asked me their age tonight, and I lied smoothly to him again. And I do not think I can keep doing that much longer without losing something I am not ready to lose.""So you want to hide them again?""I want them somewhere safer than your apartment," I said."Somewhere no o
His Contract Wife's Secret Twins CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE
Armando's POVI did not sleep after Zahara left the sitting room. I told myself I had offered her patience, real patience. And that patience meant honoring the boundary I had just promised to respect.I sat with that promise for nearly an hour before the quiet of the study finally wore through it entirely.Someone from before. It did not work out. He has never been part of their lives.The words sat wrong in my chest the longer I turned them over. Not because I doubted a woman could raise children alone after a relationship failed.But because every instinct I had built across a decade of reading people accurately told me the sentence had come out too smooth. Too rehearsed. Exactly the way some lies sounds when someone has said it enough times to themselves that it no longer feels like lying at all.I opened my laptop and pulled up the file my investigator had compiled weeks ago. The one I had barely glanced at before setting aside in favor of chasing Wolfson and Voss instead.Buried
