The white glare of the hospital room lights pressed down on her. The monitor beside Tessa’s bed let out a steady, monotonous beep, keeping time with her heartbeat. The sound was a constant reminder that despite the earlier panic, both she and the baby were fine.

Dr. Bennett had just left after reviewing her latest test results, a satisfied smile visible even behind his mask.

A few weeks ago, her heart issues had felt endless. Now everything was under control thanks to the medication. The idea of having to take it every day for the rest of her life wasn’t pleasant, but it was far better than the risk of things getting worse and endangering her baby or herself.

“Everything looks good, Mrs. Hale,” Dr. Bennett had said earlier. “Your liver enzymes are back within normal range. The baby’s development is right on track. Honestly, this is an excellent example of well managed high risk pregnancy.”

The words brought a wave of relief. After all the chaos, at least one thing was finally going ri

    “Why are we here?” Tessa asked.Nathan didn’t answer. He shut off the engine, stepped out of the car, then walked around to open her door. His face was serious, but not angry. More like someone who had already made a decision and wasn’t backing down.That was when Tessa saw them. Doctors standing at the hospital entrance, white coats on, looks of expectation on their faces. Her liver specialist. Her OB. Both clearly waiting.The realization hit her hard, like a punch to the gut. That phone call. How quickly Nathan had agreed to take her out. Not to meet a detective like he said. This was a setup. A trap to drag her to the hospital.The thing was, if Nathan had just asked her to see a doctor, she wouldn’t have refused. She wouldn’t have minded at all. What she couldn’t understand was why he had to lie, like an adult tricking a kid with candy when the real destination was the dentist.“Traitor,” she whispered without meaning to. It wasn’t anger in her voice, just pure shock.Nathan, app

    Nathan yanked the steering wheel toward an exit ramp, forcing the car into a sharp turn. The move dragged the truck behind them into the narrow curve, nearly tipping it over. Somehow, the vehicle managed to regain its balance, then surged forward again with a terrifying determination.“What do they want?” Tessa asked, her voice tight as her fingers dug into the seat.“Us,” Nathan said shortly, swerving around another car in a sudden maneuver that made their vehicle fishtail dangerously.That was when, through the rearview mirror, Nathan saw Julian’s car flash into view like a streak of silver. It slipped neatly between them and the truck, positioning itself as a living shield.Nathan’s brow lifted, half shocked, half disbelieving.He had to admit it. That third-rate lawyer had guts.“What is he doing?” Tessa asked, eyes wide as she followed Julian’s movements.Nathan didn’t answer. His focus was absolute. His mind raced, searching for an opening, a way out.Julian forced the truck to

    It was already ten at night, but the detective clearly had no intention of waiting any longer to say what he had just uncovered.The engine roared beneath the hood, a sound that usually calmed Nathan. Tonight, it did the opposite. His fingers tapped restlessly against the steering wheel, his gaze shifting between the road ahead and the rearview mirror. Behind them, Julian Steele’s car stayed close, clinging like a shadow.In the passenger seat, Tessa sat quietly, staring out the window. Her small hand moved slowly, gently rubbing her stomach.Nathan felt the tension in her silence. The meeting at the office earlier had left behind a sour feeling that still hadn’t faded.Without thinking, he slid his right hand off the wheel and rested it on Tessa’s thigh. The touch made her body flinch, as if pulled back from her thoughts. She turned to him, green eyes shining a little too brightly.Nathan forced himself to look back at the road. “I don’t like that guy,” he said, trying to sound calm

    “Fired?” Tessa finally managed to speak, her brows knitting together. “Why?”Jack shook his head slowly. Confusion still lingered in his eyes, mixed with something deeper, like he was weighing several things at once.“Not fired,” he said. “I mean, I’m no longer Mr. Hale’s personal bodyguard.” He straightened, some of his professional composure returning. “I’ve been reassigned.”Tessa blinked a few times, still not fully processing it.“So…?”“Starting now,” Jack continued, meeting her gaze directly as he chose his words carefully, a hint of anticipation in his tone, “I’ll be working exclusively for you. I’m your personal bodyguard.”Tessa’s jaw nearly dropped. “For me? But I already have guards.”“Mr. Hale’s decision isn’t up for debate,” Jack cut in, his voice gentle but firm. “Given the recent situation, he believes I’m the best choice to ensure your safety. My experience and skills are superior. And honestly, after what happened with Remington, I agree with him.”He paused. His gaz

    Tessa heard the sound of Nathan’s engine fading away, followed by the heavy doors of Hawthorne Estate closing. She stared at the wooden surface for several seconds, as if doing so might somehow solve all the problems already weighing on her, along with the ones still waiting ahead.The blue-eyed man with that cold, cutting gaze was clearly involved in her missing phone. Tessa was a hundred percent sure of it. That was how Nathan had found Julian. But how had he known the name? She had never saved it in her contacts.Then again, when it came to Nathan, nothing was impossible. So far, there had never been a single thing beyond his reach. Everyone and everything could be controlled.She had just taken a step forward when a tall, familiar figure appeared in front of her.“Jack,” she murmured.After such a brutal day, seeing a calming face felt like relief she hadn’t realized she was desperate for. Jack made her feel safe. He was like a shadow who always knew the right distance, staying ba
