Lena’s POVThe day of the court hearing, the morning air felt heavy, like the sky itself was holding its breath.By the time we arrived at the courthouse, the front steps were already crawling with reporters. Cameras flashed the moment our car pulled up, microphones thrust forward, voices clashing together like thunder.“Mrs. Blackwell! Did you cheat on your husband with your ex?”“Is it true you’re refusing a DNA test because the baby isn’t Mr. Blackwell’s?”“Will you testify today, Mrs. Blackwell?”Each question sliced through the air, cruel and sharp.Damian’s security team immediately formed a line, blocking the crowd as Damian stepped out first. He turned, offering his hand to help me from the car. His grip was firm and protective, the one thing keeping me grounded.“Don’t look at them,” he said quietly, his voice low but commanding. “Look at me.”I did.His eyes calm, dark and steady were the only thing keeping the panic from swallowing me whole. With my free arm, I clutched the

Damian’s POVI was in my office. The air was still except for the low hum of the AC and the faint ticking of the clock mounted on the wall. My tie was loose, the sleeves of my shirt rolled up, and in front of me lay Lena’s medical documents, neatly arranged, freshly delivered from the hospital’s record department.Each page was proof, not only of her pregnancy but of when it began, the timing, the details. It was all here, in black and white. Every number, every date confirmed what I already knew, Dylan was mine, no test needed. No courtroom needed to tell me that the boy sleeping in the nursery at home carried my blood.But the world didn’t care about truth, it cared about proof.“Sir?” My lawyer, David, stood across the table, his hands clasped tightly behind his back. “Everything here lines up perfectly. The conception date doesn’t overlap with the Huntley marriage.”“Then why is this still a discussion?” I muttered, flipping through the file again.“Because Adrian Huntley has publ

Damian’s POVI sat up slowly, running a hand through my hair, eyes drifting toward the crib beside the bed. Dylan was asleep, his small chest rising and falling steadily. Lena was curled on her side, her hair spilling over the pillow, her hand resting near our son’s crib as if to make sure he was safe.For the first time in weeks, I allowed myself to breathe.Yesterday had been a battle I wasn’t sure I’d win. The shareholders’ meeting, my uncle’s betrayal, the tension that had filled the room, it had all built to that single moment when those two men walked in and turned everything around.But relief didn’t last long.It never did.Because now, even with my position secured, another war waited for me, one I couldn’t fight with contracts or votes.Adrian Huntley.The man who’d dragged my wife and son into the center of a circus. The man who’d publicly questioned my child’s existence, the man who wanted to take everything from me.And this time, the fight would be in court.I rose quiet

Lena’s POV I was sitting on the edge of the bed with Dylan asleep in his little portable crib beside me when the news alert flashed on the TV. The headline made me freeze. “Damian Blackwell Retains His Position as CEO A Stunning Turn in Shareholder Vote.” For a moment, I couldn’t move. I just stared at the bold letters on the screen, my heart pounding hard in my chest. Then the news anchor’s voice followed calm and professional, but her words made my throat tighten. > “In a surprising twist during the shareholders’ voting this morning, Damian Blackwell has officially retained his position as CEO of the Blackwell Group. Two previously inactive shareholders appeared at the last minute, casting decisive votes in his favor. This comes amid recent controversy surrounding his family and the paternity claims involving Adrian Huntley…” The rest of her words blurred. My eyes filled before I could stop them. He did it. He didn’t lose. He didn’t give up. A shaky laugh escaped my lips,

Damian’s POVThe boardroom had never felt colder.I stood at the head of the table, hands clasped behind my back, forcing myself to remain calm. Jack, stood near the screen that displayed each vote slot…green for “retain,” red for “remove.”Sixteen slots had already been filled, it was remaining my uncle's.My uncle, sat two seats to my left, immaculate as always, an expression of grave composure that had fooled many for years.Henry rose slowly, adjusting his jacket, voice calm and authoritative as he addressed the room.“Thank you all for being here,” he began smoothly. “I know recent events have been difficult for everyone, the press has been relentless. The company’s stock value has fluctuated and our clients, understandably, are asking questions.”Murmurs of agreement rippled through the room.He turned toward me with a faint smile. “This is not a personal attack on Damian, It is simply business. The Blackwell name must remain strong. This vote today is to ensure stability, wheth

Lena’s POVThe morning sun was spilling softly into the living room when I woke to the faint murmur of voices downstairs. At first, I thought it was the staff talking but when I listened closely, I recognized one of them, it was Damian.Even from this far, I could tell something was off in his tone not anger, exactly. It was quieter than that, the kind of quiet that carried weight.I pulled on a light robe and went to check.He was in the study, the door half-open, sleeves rolled up, his tie loosened, a hand pressed against his temple. Jack stood across from him, speaking in a low tone, tablet in hand.When Damian saw me, he straightened immediately, his expression unreadable.“Morning,” he said, voice calm.“Morning,” I replied softly, stepping in. “You didn’t come to bed.”“I couldn’t sleep,” he said, avoiding my eyes.Jack quickly excused himself, muttering something about follow-ups and slipped out, leaving us alone.I walked closer, trying to catch his gaze. “The meeting… it happ
