His DNA, her secret Chapter Twenty – Fractured Control
Elena’s apartment felt impossibly small as she stepped inside, the door clicking softly behind her. The night had stretched on above the city, leaving her alone with her thoughts, but the storm from the rooftop hadn’t passed. Every nerve in her body still thrummed with Dominic’s presence, every memory of his closeness pressing against her like a tangible weight. She pressed a hand to her chest, her pulse frantic, as though it could somehow steady her if she concentrated hard enough. It didn’t. The kiss, the brush of his hands, the way his heat had pressed against her all of it lingered like fire on her skin. She had thought she could resist, thought she could maintain the fragile control she had built around herself and her unborn child. But now, control seemed like a word from a different life, one she had abandoned the moment he had stepped onto that rooftop. Elena paced the small living room, running her hands through her hair. “You can’t… You can’t…” she muttered, almost to her
His DNA, her secret Chapter Nineteen – Igniting the Storm
The city below stretched like a living tapestry of lights and motion, unaware of the small, tense world that existed above it. The hospital rooftop was deserted, the faint hum of distant traffic carrying upward like whispers. Elena leaned against the railing, arms folded, heart hammering in her chest. Her coat clung to her, damp from the evening mist, but it was nothing compared to the heat that thrummed through her veins the same heat that always ignited when Dominic was near.She had tried to focus on her duties earlier that day, had tried to convince herself that nothing between them had changed after the night on this very rooftop. She had been wrong.He stepped out of the shadows, silent and impossibly composed, his dark suit absorbing the dim light, leaving him both commanding and untouchable.“Elena.” His voice was low, smooth, and carried the weight of promise.She pressed her back harder against the railing, trying to summon rationality. “Dominic… you can’t—”He cut her off b
His DNA, her secret Chapter Eighteen – Cornered by the Dark
The hospital had long since emptied for the night. Corridors that had been alive with the hum of monitors, the soft shuffle of nurses, and the occasional beep of impatient machines were now silent, bathed in pale, flickering fluorescent light. Elena moved cautiously, her footsteps echoing against the tile, carrying her heart along with them. She should have left hours ago, taken a taxi home, shut the door behind her, and locked herself in a world far away from danger.But something pulled her forward, a mix of professional duty and the invisible thread she could not name could not resist. She carried her clipboard tightly, the papers inside rustling faintly as she hurried toward the stairwell.The rooftop door loomed ahead, heavy metal against concrete, a portal to the night and the city sprawled beneath it. She pushed it open, expecting the cold air to soothe her nerves, to offer a brief reprieve from the relentless pull she felt in her chest.She didn’t get the relief she hoped for.
His DNA, her secret Chapter Seventeen: The Gathering Storm
The night settled heavy over the city, the kind of stillness that felt deceptive, hiding something restless beneath its quiet. Rain had fallen earlier, leaving the streets slick and reflective, turning every light into a blurred streak of color. Elena sat at the small table in her apartment, staring at a cup of tea gone cold. Her fingers rested against the porcelain, unmoving, as her mind replayed the events of the day over and over.Dominic.His presence had carved its way into her world with a precision that felt deliberate. She could still feel the weight of his gaze, the timbre of his voice, the way the entire hospital seemed to bend around him. She had tried to dismiss him, to remind herself of the vow she made to protect her unborn child, but her body had betrayed her responding to him with a pull she could neither explain nor resist.She pressed a hand over her abdomen, whispering softly. “You’re all that matters.”But even as she spoke the words, her heart thudded harder at th
His DNA, her secret Chapter Sixteen – Shadows of Power
The city stretched beneath Dominic like a map of light and motion, every glittering window and glowing streetlamp a reminder that this was his kingdom, his empire built not from inherited privilege but from sweat, precision, and a relentless refusal to bend. From the highest floor of the glass tower that bore his name, he stood alone in the hush of his office, one hand resting against the floor-to-ceiling window. The late hour draped the skyline in shades of charcoal and silver, and though the world slept, Dominic could not.His reflection stared back at him in the glass, stern and unreadable, the same face that had commanded boardrooms, silenced rivals, and bent governments into quiet compliance. Yet tonight, he saw something else flickering in his eyes something unbidden, unwelcome. He tore his gaze away before it could grow louder.Behind him, the quiet hum of the building persisted. A cleaner’s cart rattled distantly in the lower hallways, the whisper of the city’s veins. The offi
His DNA, her secret Chapter Fifteen: The Shadow Between Them
Elena’s hands were still trembling when she finally slipped out of the supply room. The fluorescent lights of the corridor felt too bright, exposing her raw nerves as if the whole hospital could see straight into her chest. She told herself to breathe, to focus, to keep her head down. But it was useless. Every step she took, she could still feel his gaze on her heavy, deliberate, a brand pressed against her skin.She returned to the nurse’s station, forcing a smile when a colleague asked if she was okay. “Just tired,” she lied, her voice thin. She picked up a patient’s file, flipping through it, but the words blurred. Her heart hadn’t yet returned to its rhythm; it was still running, still pounding as though she had been chased.Dominic.He shouldn’t have been here. Men like him didn’t belong in public hospitals, walking among patients with peeling gowns and doctors with overworked faces. Yet he moved through it as though it were his domain, commanding space with nothing more than pre
