In His World CHAPTER 89
Elena POVVictoria had kept Grace's journals hidden for thirty years and when Adrian and I arrived at the care facility to pick them up, I could see the questions written all over his face."Why now?" Adrian asked Victoria who was sitting in her chair by the window looking thinner and more frail than the last time we'd visited. "Why give them to me after all this time?"Victoria looked at her son with sad eyes. "Because I'm dying, Adrian."The room went silent."What?" Adrian said."Cancer," Victoria said simply. "The doctors say I have six months maybe, possibly less depending on how aggressive it becomes.""No," Adrian said and he sat down heavily in the chair across from her. "There has to be treatment, something they can do.""I'm eighty-three years old," Victoria said. "I've lived a long life and I'm tired, I don't want to spend my last months fighting a battle I'll lose anyway.""Mother," Adrian started."Let me finish," Victoria interrupted gently. "I've been holding onto these
In His World CHAPTER 88
Adrian POVTwo years had passed since James was born and life had become something I never expected it could be, chaotic and messy and beautiful all at the same time.Rose and Violet were three years old now and running everywhere constantly, and they talked nonstop about everything and nothing and asked a thousand questions every single day.James was two and he followed his sisters around trying to keep up with them, and when he couldn't keep up, he'd cry until one of them came back for him.The penthouse was always filled with noise now, laughing and fighting and playing and sometimes crying, and there were toys scattered across every surface and crayon marks on walls we'd just repainted.Normal children.Loved children.Children who would never know the darkness that had surrounded their parents before they were born.I was sitting on the couch watching Elena with them and she was on the floor helping James build a tower out of blocks while Rose and Violet colored at the coffee ta
In His World CHAPTER 87
Elena POVBaby James was two weeks old and I was still getting used to having a newborn again after Rose and Violet had grown into active toddlers, and I was holding him against my chest when the doorbell rang."I'll get it," Adrian said.He went to the door and I heard him open it, and then there was a long silence that made me curious enough to walk over with the baby still in my arms.Adrian was standing in the doorway blocking someone from coming in, and his whole body was tense like he was ready for a fight."What do you want?" Adrian asked and his voice was cold.I moved closer and looked past Adrian to see who was there.James.Adrian's brother James standing in the hallway looking older than I remembered and tired, with lines on his face that hadn't been there before and his shoulders slumped like he was carrying something heavy.He looked broken."I wanted to say I'm sorry," James said and his voice was quiet. "For everything I did, for trying to hurt you, for being part of V

Adrian POVA son.After Rose and Violet, after two girls who looked so much like Elena and Grace and Sophia, we were having a son.I stared at the ultrasound screen showing our baby boy and I felt something overwhelming wash over me, a mixture of happiness and terror that made my chest feel too tight."Adrian?" Elena said. "Are you okay?""Yeah," I said but my voice came out rough. "I'm just processing.""It's a lot," Elena agreed.The doctor printed out ultrasound pictures for us and we left the office, and I kept looking at the grainy black and white images showing our son.Our son.I had two daughters who I loved more than anything in the world, but a son felt different somehow, and I couldn't quite explain why even to myself.We got in the car and Elena turned to look at me. "You're being quiet.""I'm thinking," I said."About what?" she asked."About how we're going to have a boy," I said. "And how I don't know anything about raising boys.""You were a boy once," Elena pointed ou
In His World CHAPTER 85
Elena POVI was pregnant and I still couldn't quite believe it myself even though I'd taken three different tests and they'd all come back positive, and this baby wasn't planned at all.We'd been so careful after Rose and Violet were born because the pregnancy had been so hard on my heart and we didn't want to risk anything happening.But apparently careful wasn't careful enough.And the thing was, this baby wasn't unwanted either, not at all, I just didn't know how Adrian would react to the news.He was staring at me from across the dinner table with his fork frozen halfway to his mouth, and I watched his face go through about five different emotions in the span of ten seconds."Pregnant," he repeated. "You're pregnant?""Yes," I said."Already?" he asked and he looked genuinely shocked. "Rose and Violet are only one year old.""I know," I said. "Trust me, I know.""How did this happen?" he asked."Well, when two people love each other very much—" I started."Elena," he cut me off."
In His World CHAPTER 84
Adrian POVOne year had passed since the rescue at Vanessa's facility and somehow we'd survived everything that came after, and I still couldn't quite believe we'd made it through.Vanessa was in prison now serving a life sentence with no possibility of parole, and Dr. Shah was right there with her in a different facility also serving life for his role in everything.The trials had been brutal.Elena and I had testified over and over again at different hearings and trials for months, telling our story to judges and juries and lawyers who all wanted to hear every detail.We'd described finding the listening devices and the camera in the teddy bear, explained about Sharon the fake nanny who'd spied on us, talked about being captured and strapped to tables while Vanessa explained her plans to harvest our genetic material.It had been exhausting reliving all of it.But finally it was done.The last trial had ended two weeks ago with guilty verdicts for everyone involved in Vanessa's opera

**Elena POV**James had a gun and he was pointing it at Adrian and my brain stopped working for a second because this wasn't supposed to happen, people didn't just show up at your apartment with guns, but here we were and the gun was real and James's hand was shaking as he held it."James, put the
