Drake.My hand did not shake. That surprised me.I stood over Hunter with a gun pointed at his face, and I waited to feel hatred. But all I felt was tired, down to my bones.He lay on his back in the wet gravel with his eyes half closed. His lip was split open. One eye was swollen shut, and dried blood ran in dark lines down his neck.His shirt was torn, and he held one arm tight against his ribs as if he were afraid they would fall apart.Behind me, one of the guards shifted on his feet. "Sir, say the word."The rain had almost stopped.The guards stood in a half circle around us with their guns raised and their faces tight. The only sound was Hunter's breathing, rough and wet, like something was broken in his chest."How did you find this place?" I asked."Years ago, I carried bags for Mr. Machorace driver." His voice was thin. "I heard him mention a house by a lake that belonged to your mother. I did not know why I remembered it until tonight."My stomach dropped.If Hunter had hea

Drake.For one long second, nobody in that room breathed.I was shot at once, years ago, at a business dinner my father insisted I attend.I still remember the silence right after the bang, that strange, stretched moment before the pain arrived.This was the same silence.The words had already left his mouth, the damage was done, and we were only waiting for it to land.He stood frozen in the doorway. His face had gone grey. "Sir..." he whispered, "I did not know she was..."Behind him, Lydia swayed on her feet.And in the bed, Rose looked at me with wide, wet eyes, and I saw something in them that broke my heart.She was not afraid for herself.She was afraid for me.She was waiting for me to fall apart.My father had a saying. When the walls fall, do not stare at the ruins. Build something new out of the bricks.I hated that I thought of him in that moment. But I used his lesson anyway, because it was the only weapon I had.I turned on Caleb with all the anger I had been holding ins

Rose. The hospital was too quiet that night, and I hated every minute of it. The machine beside my bed beeped slowly and steadily, as if it did not know how close I had come to losing everything. Maya was still safe inside me, and I had to keep telling myself that. Every few minutes I pressed my hand to my stomach and waited for the small, stubborn movement that told me she was still fighting. Drake sat in the chair beside me. He had not slept at all. His shirt was creased, his eyes were red, and he held my hand as if the bed might swallow me the moment he let go. "You should rest..." I whispered. "I will rest when you are safe." He kissed my knuckles gently. "Not before." A few hours earlier, he had sat on the edge of this same bed and told me the truth about Hunter. He told me about the drip, the small bag, and the plan Mr. Machorace had given his own son. I had listened without breathing. The man who had put a ring on my finger and promised to protect me had been walki

Lydia.I was almost at the docks when I noticed the headlights behind me.They were steady and patient, and they matched my speed no matter how many turns I took. They never fell back, and they never came closer either.My hands tightened around the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white, and my heart slammed hard against my ribs.I tried to tell myself it was nothing, maybe a tired driver on his way home, or just my mind playing tricks on me after everything that had happened tonight.But I had worked with this family for years, and the instinct that kept me alive in rooms full of dangerous people was telling me not to believe that lie.I turned sharply into a narrow side street and watched the mirror. The headlights turned right behind me without any hesitation at all.It was not a coincidence.My chest tightened with fear and I pressed harder on the gas.I weaved through quiet streets I barely knew, trying to put some distance between me and whoever was back there.The cash

Rose.The door clicked shut behind Drake, and the silence that followed felt enormous, pressing down on me from every corner of the room.I lay there with my hand still resting over my stomach, staring at the ceiling, and for the first time all night I let myself actually sit inside what had happened instead of simply surviving it, one breath after another, instead of just pushing through to whatever came next.Hunter wanted me dead.I said the words slowly in my head, turning them over again and again, waiting for them to finally feel real.They did not.Somewhere underneath the grief and the fear, a small, stubborn part of me kept reaching for an explanation that made it make sense, kept trying to find the version of events where Hunter was not truly capable of what Drake had described.I thought about the night he came back to me in that dark lot, the way he had held me like I was something fragile and precious, something he could not believe was real.I thought about his hands tre

Rose.The nurse looked up from the paper, her eyes moving between Drake and me, and for a moment the silence in the room felt thicker than anything I had survived all night, every machine beeping softly in the background the only sound filling the gap."The results confirm paternity at ninety nine point nine percent," she said carefully. "Mr. Drake Machorace is the biological father."The words hit me strangely, not like relief, not like fear, but something caught between the two, settling slowly into my chest like a stone dropping through still water.I looked at Drake, and found him already looking at me, his face unreadable, his hands gripping the edge of my bed like he needed something solid to hold onto, like the news had knocked the air clean out of him."Mine?" he asked quietly, almost to himself, like he was testing the word for the first time. "She is mine...."The nurse gave a small, gentle smile and excused herself, leaving the folder on the table beside my bed before slipp
