We'd been doing okay. Not great, but okay. The tension from the estate conversation had settled into something we could work around. Damon had agreed to wait on moving Sophia anywhere until the PI had more concrete information. I'd agreed to try to be civil during the increasingly awkward shared breakfasts.

We were managing.

And part of managing had been the physical intimacy. The way we came together at night like we were trying to prove something to ourselves, to each other, to the universe.

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    THE QUIET STRENGTH

    EVE'S POV The morning light in the penthouse was soft and steady, the kind that usually made me want to open every window and let the city in. Today I kept the curtains half-drawn and the room dim, the way Dr. Patel preferred. I was sitting up against the pillows with the tray table across my lap, my laptop open and my sketchpad beside it. The twins were moving in slow, rolling waves beneath my hand, and I kept tracing gentle circles over my belly, feeling the gentle pushes and turns beneath my palm. I had been staring at the same section of the community hub design for almost an hour. It was the family play zone... modular walls that could be rearranged, soft green panels that filtered light, and a small indoor garden area with safe plants and a low fountain. I had drawn it three times already, tweaking the layout, adjusting the sightlines, making sure there was enough space for little bodies to run and tumble without anyone getting hurt. It was the kind of place I wished had exis

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    SOPHIA'S FINAL LETTER

    EVE'S POV The afternoon light in the penthouse felt softer than usual, filtered through the sheer curtains Damon had drawn to keep the room calm. I was propped up against a mountain of pillows on the bed, my laptop balanced on the tray table across my lap. The twins were moving in slow, rolling waves beneath my hand, and I kept tracing gentle circles over my belly, trying to stay grounded in the small, steady rhythm of their kicks. Lily was napping in her room with the nanny nearby. The house was quiet except for the faint hum of the city far below and the occasional soft creak of the building settling. Damon had stepped into the home office for a quick call with the legal team. I should have felt peaceful. I should have felt safe. Instead, a low, restless anxiety hummed beneath my skin. The high-risk pregnancy had already stolen so much of my sense of control. Bed rest meant I couldn’t chase Lily around the living room or stand for too long without my ankles swelling. It meant ev

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    ALEX MAKES ANOTHER PRISON CALL

    EVE'S POV The afternoon light in the penthouse was soft and golden, the kind that usually made me feel calm. Today it only highlighted how still everything felt. I was propped up in bed with pillows the way Dr. Patel had ordered, my laptop open on the tray table in front of me. The twins were moving in that lazy, rolling way they did in the afternoons, and I kept one hand on my belly, tracing slow circles as I tried to focus on the design sketches on my screen. Lily was napping in her room with the nanny close by. Damon had stepped into the home office for a quick call with the legal team about the latest update on Sophia’s case. Even from jail she was still finding ways to reach us, but the civil complaints were starting to cut off her outside contacts. It felt like we were finally gaining ground. I should have felt safer. The phone on the nightstand buzzed once. Then again. I glanced at it, expecting Damon or Gloria. The number was blocked. I hesitated, then answered anyway. “H

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    THE NURSERY PROJECT

    EVE’S POV I was supposed to be on strict bed rest. The doctor had been very clear after the ultrasound scare... no getting up except for the bathroom, no lifting anything heavier than a water glass, and definitely no stress. My body needed to focus on keeping the twins safe. But the nursery welcome project had taken on a life of its own, and there was no stopping Damon and Lily once they got an idea in their heads. I lay propped up in our big bed like a queen on her throne, surrounded by a mountain of pillows. My belly was massive now, round and heavy, stretching the soft maternity shirt I wore. The twins were active today, doing their usual evening gymnastics routine under my skin. Every kick and roll sent little waves across my stomach. I had my notebook balanced on my lap, directing the whole operation from headquarters. “Lily, sweetheart, hand Daddy the yellow strip,” I called across the room. Lily toddled over in her favorite yellow socks, clutching the bright construction p

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    THE TWINS' FIRST ULTRASOUND AFTER THE SCARE

    EVE’S POV My hands wouldn’t stop shaking the whole drive to the doctor’s office. I kept pressing them flat against my belly like that could hold everything together. The scare from three days ago still sat heavy in my chest... that sharp pain, the spotting, the terrifying rush to the ER where they mentioned possible placental separation and put me on strict rest. Damon had barely slept since. I’d barely breathed. “You okay?” he asked for the tenth time, voice low and tight. His knuckles were white on the steering wheel. “Yeah,” I lied. Then I sighed. “No. I’m scared shitless, Damon. What if something’s wrong? What if the separation got worse and...” “Hey.” He reached over and grabbed my hand, squeezing it hard. “We’re gonna check. That’s why we’re doing this detailed scan. Doc said it was just to be safe. The babies are tough, just like their mama.” I tried to smile but it felt shaky. The twins had been kicking like crazy the last couple days, which the doctor said was a good sig

  • I AM BILLIONAIRE DAMON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE    SECOND SITTING ON SOPHIA'S CASE

    EVE'S POV The video call screen flickered to life at exactly ten in the morning. Damon had set up the laptop on the bed tray table so I could stay propped up with pillows the way Dr. Patel wanted. My belly felt heavier today, the twins shifting in that restless way that made me wonder if they could sense the tension in the room. Lily was with the nanny in the playroom down the hall, her giggles carrying faintly through the penthouse. I could hear her laughing at something on the TV, and it made my chest ache in the best and worst way. She deserved a normal morning. Not a mother who had to be careful with every breath because one slip could change everything. Damon sat beside me on the edge of the bed, his hand resting on my thigh. He had been like this since the scare... close, steady, never more than a few feet away unless he absolutely had to be. His thumb traced small circles on my leg, a quiet reminder that I was not alone in any of this. The lawyers appeared on screen one by
