In Bed With My Fiancé’s Father Chapter 213
Don't tell Zed about our little chat.The words were still echoing in my head, and my wrist throbbed like a second heartbeat. I looked up into Zed's face, at the dark eyes and the clenched jaw, and I knew with total certainty that whatever I said next would change everything.Lie, and I'd have six hours of fear and a blackmailer's leash around my neck.Tell the truth, and I might lose the only person in this entire school who'd just stood in front of the Dean and put his name beside mine."Rayna." His voice was quieter now. That was worse than the anger. "I heard the name. I heard the part about seven o'clock. Don't make me guess."My throat closed. I forced the words out one at a time, like pulling glass."Michelle was supposed to be here."He didn't move."The letter," I whispered. "The Elmor admission letter. It was hers. It came for her, and I..." My voice broke, and I pressed my fist against my mouth until I could go on. "I took it. I had the chance, and I took it. And I never ga

Chapter "Auntie, I can't believe I'm out of the hospital!" Zara screamed, her voice ringing out from the back seat. Her voice was too bright and joyful, and something about seeing this version of her loosened a knot in my chest."I know, my love. I myself can't believe it either." Mia twisted around to face her, a broad grin on her face. "But I need you to be honest with me...are you feeling okay? No tummy aches or anything?""No. Not at all. I feel great." Zara kicked her feet against the seat to prove herself to me. "Can we get ice cream on our way home? I am craving some vanilla ice cream."Mia wagged her finger in front of Zara. "Absolutely not," she said, laughing. "You won't be having ice cream for a while, Little Miss Zara, because the doctor instructed so. You need to avoid ice cream for the time being.""But that is not fair." Zara crossed her arms, pouting. "I didn't even do anything wrong. I am not a naughty child.""I know, Zara. Don't get me wrong. This has nothing to do

Kane's POVThe café emptied out slowly around us, the ordinary rhythm of the morning rush filtering back in from every direction while the six of us sat crowded around a table meant for four, nobody quite ready to be the first to leave.Sophia kept glancing at my mother like she still wasn't sure this was real. My mother kept reaching across the table every few minutes, just to touch her hand, like she was afraid Sophia might disappear if she stopped checking."I have so many questions," Sophia said finally, laughing a little at herself. "I don't even know where to start.""We have time," my mother said softly. "As much of it as you want."Edmund cleared his throat quietly. "I should go. Give you all some space for this." He stood, and I caught his sleeve before he could leave."Dinner," I said. "This week. All of us. You're part of this family too, whether any of us planned it that way or not."Something in his face shifted — gratitude, relief, maybe the first real sense of belonging

Kane's POVThe café was already busy by nine, the kind of ordinary Tuesday-morning noise that felt obscene against everything churning in my chest. Celeste's hand was laced tight through mine as we stepped inside, my mother a half step behind us, pale but steady, Edmund hanging back near the door like he still wasn't sure he'd earned the right to be part of this moment.I spotted her immediately.Not because she looked like my mother, though she did, something in the set of her jaw, the careful way she held her shoulders. I spotted her because she was sitting perfectly still at a corner table, hands wrapped around a coffee cup she wasn't drinking, watching the door like she already knew exactly who was about to walk through it."Sophia," my mother breathed.The woman at the table looked up, and whatever composure she'd been holding onto cracked the second her eyes landed on my mother's face. She stood so fast her chair scraped loud against the floor, coffee forgotten."You look like m

Kane's POVI turned the phone around so Jim could read it himself.Whatever I expected — denial, anger, the careful deflection of a man caught off guard — wasn't what I got. Jim's face went pale, then strangely, terribly calm, the way a man's face goes still right before he finally sets down a weight he's been carrying too long to remember what it felt like to stand up straight."I was there," he said quietly. "The night your father died."The room went dead silent."What do you mean you were there." My voice came out low, dangerous, nothing like the steady control I'd been clinging to for the last four days. "Jim. You told me you found him. You told me you were the one who called the ambulance.""I did find him. I did call the ambulance." His jaw worked, old grief surfacing in a face that had never once shown me anything but careful competence in eleven years of knowing him. "I just never told you I was already in the house when it happened. That I was standing in the hallway outside

Kane's POVThe sixth.I stared at the message until the words stopped making sense, until "the five of you" had looped through my head enough times to count — me, Celeste, my mother, Julian, Edmund. Five. Which meant whoever Desmond was bringing into this next wasn't anyone I'd already met."Who else is there," my mother whispered, reading over my shoulder again. "Kane, how many more people did your father's secrets touch.""I don't know. But I intend to find out before Desmond gets to decide the timing again." I was already moving, pulling my phone back out, dialing Celeste first. She picked up on the first ring, like she'd been sitting by the phone waiting for exactly this kind of call."Tell me," she said, no greeting, straight to business, and something in my chest eased just slightly at the sound of her voice."We found Sophia. My sister. Three blocks from the office, working under a different name, parents dead in what might not have been an accident." I kept my voice steady eve
