OLIVIA’S POV

The hospital room felt smaller than it had an hour ago. The adrenaline was finally leaving my system, replaced by a heavy, hollow exhaustion. I sat on the edge of the bed, Lucious’s hand resting limp in mine. He was tired I could see it in the way his eyelids drooped but his mind was clearly racing.

Virgil was standing by the window, his phone pressed to his ear, his back turned to us. He was speaking in low, clipped tones, probably dealing with the fallout of the morning. When he

  • In Bed With My Fiancé’s Father   Chapter 168

    Kane’s POVThe moment the elevator doors slid open the entire lobby fell into a thick, pointed silence that had nothing to do with respect and everything to do with the fact that every person standing there already knew exactly what I had done.A junior analyst took an actual step backward, avoiding me totally. Someone on the mezzanine didn’t even bother lowering their voice when they said the word traitor, while staring at me. The security guard at the front desk looked at my face, then at the temporary credentials Jin had issued, then back at my face again like he was silently hoping the system would reject them.I sighed and kept walking with my head held high.Jin matched my pace, his tablet already open, speaking just loud enough for me to hear. “The board is waiting on forty-two. Most of them arrived early and they are not in a generous mood.” He whispered.“I can see that.” I said cockily, walking towards the lift.The elevator ride felt longer than any I could remember. Every

    Danny’s POVLucious’s voice landed like a blade across the desk.I kept my eyes on the broken circle glowing on the screen because looking at any of them felt impossible. Virgil’s hand was still on my shoulder, which was comforting . Olivia’s breathing had gone shallow, strained from all her crying. Lucious stood so still he might have been carved out of a glass. The only thing was that his arm held Olivia protectively.The symbol stared back at me, as I tried to burn off the memories from my head. I couldn’t believe that after all these times, after everything that has gone down, this symbol still existed. My mouth went dry, as I gulped down saliva.“I need the room,” I said quietly. I need to deal with this with a calm head.Virgil’s fingers tightened once around my shoulder, before letting me go.“No.” Lucious’s tone left no space for argument. “You will talk, and tell us everything you know, right here, right now.”Olivia’s voice was quieter, but it cut deeper, and I could feel ev

    Lucious’s POV“Then we find Elias.”The words left my mouth and the room kept spinning around them. Olivia’s body was still locked against mine, her breathing ragged and her cheeks red and wet with tears. She held onto my shirt for dear life, twisting the fabric mindlessly around her fingers. The empty incubator sat three feet away, and I struggled to remove my gaze away from it.Virgil was already moving giving orders to Danny.“Danny, check out the service elevator logs, the badge history, every access point that touched this unit in the last hour. Do it now.”Danny moved with the speed of light, following Virgil’s orders.I kept one arm around Olivia and turned to Sara, the same woman who had checked out on Celeste earlier. Her face was as white as a sheet.“I need every person who walked into this unit in the last thirty minutes,” I said. “Give me their names, batch numbers, everything even the faces you didn’t recognize. Tell me.”She stammered and cowered, running along to get m

    Lucious’s POVThe alarm ripped through the NICU like a blade.I was already on my feet before the first nurse shouted. Pain tore up my hip and into my spine, but I didn’t feel it. All I saw was the empty incubator and the ttiny strawberry-print hat which was on her head earlier, lying on the mattress.Olivia’s scream cut through everything, as she choked between sobs.“She’s gone… Lu… someone took her… Celeste!”Her voice cracked, heavy tears flowing quickly fown her eyes. She lunged for the glass, her palms slamming against it until they turned red, then spun toward the nearest nurse.“Where is she? Where the fuck is my daughter?” She said shaking her angrily.I caught her before she could tear past the staff. Her body shook against mine, as she gave in, the weight of her crashing against me as she kept sobbing. I kept one arm locked around her waist and used the other to shove a cart out of the way.“Lock it down,” I barked at the nearest security officer who had just skidded into t

    Olivia’s POV“Mr. Salander, I’m asking you one last time.”Lucious didn’t even look at the doctor.“Denied.”The doctor pinched the bridge of his nose. “Your haemoglobin is low. You donated bone marrow less than twenty-four hours ago. If you collapse in here, I will have two patients instead of one.”Lucious’s eyes never left the incubator.“Then I suggest you keep an extra bed ready.”“Lucious.”My voice cut through the room before the doctor could argue again.I leaned against the doorway with my arms folded, watching him with equal parts annoyance and worry.“The doctor is not your enemy, Lucious.” I said softly.He finally looked at me, his eyes harden.“They’re trying to send me away from my daughter.”“They’re trying to stop you from passing out on the NICU floor.”“Details.”The doctor muttered something under his breath that sounded suspiciously like “Married rich people are exhausting” before walking out.I waited until the door clicked shut before I crossed the room.“You sc

    KaneThe words hit me like a fist to the sternum.“What do you mean she doesn’t exist?”“I mean the ID she used to badge into the building doesn’t match anyone in the hospital’s system. Whoever she is, someone gave her access. Someone with clearance high enough to bypass the normal hiring checks.” Jin’s voice stayed level, almost bored, like he was reading off a grocery list instead of telling me my father might have been poisoned by a ghost. “Someone like Julian.”My hands tightened around the folder until the edges crumpled. “Print everything you have. Every frame of that footage, every log of her badge access, every second she was anywhere near his room.”“Already done.” He produced a second folder from seemingly nowhere, sliding it across the desk. Efficient. Too efficient. I filed that thought away for later, next to all the other things about Jin that made the hair on my arms stand up.“I need to go,” I said, already moving.“Mr. Salander.” He caught my sleeve, just barely, just
