JESSICA'S INTERVENTION

Penulis: Lizzy Aik
last update Tanggal publikasi: 2026-01-04 21:13:47

I was in the middle of a design project Monday afternoon when Jessica appeared at my desk with that look on her face.

The "we need to talk right now" look.

"Lunch," she said. Not a question. A command.

"I'm kind of busy—"

"Now, Eve."

I saved my file and grabbed my bag.

We ended up at the Thai place again. She didn't say anything until we'd ordered and were sitting in our usual booth in the back.

Then she just stared at me.

"What?" I said.

"You're glowing."

"I'm not glowing."

"You're literally g

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    FAVORITISM BITE

    EVE'S POV The new security protocols hummed constantly in the background... soft beeps from motion sensors, the low murmur of extra guards rotating shifts, reinforced doors that now required biometric scans. Lily slept peacefully in her crib, but I checked on her every few minutes, my body still wired from the trauma of her kidnapping. Damon worked from his home office, refusing to leave us even for a short meeting. His presence was a constant, protective shadow. The doorman buzzed. “Miss Eve, your parents are here, they say they want to see Lily and apologize.” I tensed immediately. Damon looked up from his laptop, jaw tight. “You don’t have to see them if you’re not ready.” “I need to,” I said quietly. “For closure. But stay with me.” My parents stepped off the elevator looking exhausted and guilty. My mother, carried a small gift bag with a stuffed toy and baby clothes. My father held a bouquet of flowers. They both had red, swollen eyes. “Eve,” my mother said, voice tremblin

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    TIGHTENING WALLS

    EVE'S POV The penthouse felt heavier than usual the morning after the rescue. Lily slept peacefully in her crib, her tiny chest rising and falling in the soft glow of the nightlight. I stood over her for a long time, just watching, afraid that if I looked away she might disappear again. The emotional reunion last night had been everything... tears, tight hugs, the three of us tangled together on the nursery floor as we whispered promises and thanks. But the fear hadn’t left. It sat in my chest like a stone. Damon came up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist and resting his chin on my shoulder. “She’s safe,” he murmured, voice still rough from lack of sleep. “We got her back. She’s right here.” I leaned back into him, but my body stayed tense. “I know. But Sophia is still out there. And Alex…” The detective’s call came just after breakfast. Damon put it on speaker in the living room while I held Lily in my arms. “Mr. and Mrs. Sterling, we have an update on Sophia Thompson

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    PANIC IN THE DARK

    EVE'S POV The nursery was quiet except for the soft hum of the white noise machine and Lily’s gentle breathing. I sat in the rocking chair, holding her against my chest in the dim glow of the nightlight. She had fallen asleep after her evening feed, one tiny fist curled around my shirt like she was afraid to let go. I understood the feeling completely. It had only been two days since we got her back. Two days since the nightmare of her kidnapping ended with her safe in our arms. But my body hadn’t caught up yet. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Sophia’s wild face as she clutched my baby and ran. I heard Lily’s terrified cries. I felt the emptiness in my arms all over again. “I’ve got you,” I whispered into her soft hair, rocking slowly. “Mommy’s got you. No one’s ever taking you again.” Lily sighed in her sleep, trusting and warm. The sight should have filled me with peace. Instead, something sharp and ugly twisted in my chest. My breathing started to quicken. The room felt

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    SHADOWS RETURN

    EVE'S POV The hospital room felt like a fragile bubble of peace after the storm. Lily slept soundly in the crib beside my bed, her tiny chest rising and falling in steady rhythm. I hadn’t taken my eyes off her for more than a few seconds since we got her back. Damon sat in the armchair next to me, his hand never leaving mine, even as exhaustion lined his face. The graze on his side from the fight with Alex had been stitched up, but he refused painkillers, saying he needed to stay sharp. “We really have her,” I whispered for the hundredth time, tears slipping silently down my cheeks. “She’s here, she’s safe.” Damon leaned over and kissed my temple, his voice rough with emotion. “She’s safe. We got her back, both of you.” The doctors had cleared Lily after thorough checks... mild dehydration, some bruising, but no serious injuries. She was a fighter, they said. Just like her parents. We were keeping her overnight for observation, but the relief was overwhelming. For the first t

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    FOUND

    The boathouse smelled of damp wood, river water, and victory laced with terror. Damon’s arms were locked around both of us so tightly I could barely breathe, but I didn’t care. Lily was here. Warm, alive. Her tiny body pressed between us as she cried those heartbreaking newborn sobs that tore straight through my soul. “We got her,” Damon whispered against my hair, his voice cracking for the first time all night. “We got our baby back, Eve. She’s here. She’s safe.” I couldn’t speak. I just held on, one arm around Lily and the other clinging to Damon’s back, my face buried in his chest. Tears poured down my cheeks uncontrollably. Lily’s little fists grabbed at my shirt, her cries slowly quieting as she recognized our voices, our smell, our touch. The three of us knelt on the dirty floor, tangled together like we would never let go again. “My baby,” I sobbed, pressing kiss after kiss to her soft head. “Mommy’s here, daddy’s here. We’ve got you. We’ve got you forever.” Damon’s shoulde

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    THE MONSTER UNMASKED

    EVE'S POV The abandoned boathouse at the edge of the river smelled of rot, saltwater, and fear. Police boats and Damon’s private security teams had the entire area surrounded. Helicopters thumped overhead, their spotlights cutting through the night like knives. I stood behind a police barricade, Lily’s blanket clutched in my hands, my body shaking so hard I could barely stand. Damon was a few feet ahead, coordinating with the lead negotiator and SWAT commander. Sophia was inside and cornered. After the botched raid and her temporary escape with Lily, the net had finally closed. But she still had my daughter. Our baby. The thought made my stomach twist into knots. “Stay back,” Damon told me, his voice rough. He had a fresh bandage on his side from the injury during the warehouse fight with Alex, but he refused to leave my side. “Let them handle the entry, we’ll get Lily out safely.” I nodded, but my eyes never left the boathouse. My sister...my own blood... had done this. Taken my
