Elara

He wrapped both hands tighter around the coffee cup, like he needed something to hold onto before he could start.

"Fourteen years is a long time to plan what you'd say," he said. "And somehow I still don't know where to begin."

"Start with why you left."

He nodded slowly, like he'd expected that to be the first question. "I worked for a company handling financial accounts, back when your mother and I were still married. One of those accounts belonged to a smaller business that was being a

  • PREGNANT AFTER MY STEP BROTHER KNOTTED ME   Racing the Clock

    KaelWe moved to Elara's mother's house within the hour, the four of us crowded around the kitchen table that had already seen so many of these conversations this month.Elara's father sat stiffly beside her, clearly uncomfortable being back in a space that had once been his own life, now rearranged around people he barely knew. Her mother kept glancing at him like she still couldn't quite believe he was real, sitting there after fourteen years of nothing."We have six hours," Diego said through the laptop speaker, his voice tight with focus. "I've pulled everything I can on the account activity, but I need something connecting the timing to an actual decision she made. A paper trail isn't enough on its own. I need intent.""What would show intent," Elara asked."Communication. Emails, texts, anything where she actually says what she's planning instead of just moving money around quietly." Diego paused. "Kael, does she keep anything at the house? A home office, files, anything she mig

  • PREGNANT AFTER MY STEP BROTHER KNOTTED ME   What Diego Found

    KaelI saw Elara's face change from across the diner and was already halfway out of my booth before she even waved me over."Diego found something," she said, phone in hand, her father watching me approach with wary eyes. "About the file. He said I needed to see it before we left."I sat down beside her, and her father studied me for a long moment, the kind of assessment I recognized because I'd been on the giving end of it myself plenty of times."You're the Voss boy," he said. Not quite hostile, but not warm either."Kael. Sir.""I know who you are." He glanced at Elara, something protective flickering across his face despite fourteen years of absence. "I also know what your family's capable of burying when it's inconvenient.""I'm not my father," I said, the same thing I'd told him weeks earlier, the same thing I was apparently going to keep saying to every person in this story who'd been hurt by him."No," he said slowly. "Maybe not. We'll see."My phone buzzed, Diego calling inst

    ElaraHe wrapped both hands tighter around the coffee cup, like he needed something to hold onto before he could start."Fourteen years is a long time to plan what you'd say," he said. "And somehow I still don't know where to begin.""Start with why you left."He nodded slowly, like he'd expected that to be the first question. "I worked for a company handling financial accounts, back when your mother and I were still married. One of those accounts belonged to a smaller business that was being acquired by the Voss empire. I found something in the books that didn't add up. Money moving in ways it shouldn't have been moving.""What kind of money?""The kind that gets people killed if they ask too many questions about it." He said it plainly, no drama in his voice, just a tired fact. "I didn't understand at first how deep it went. I just knew the numbers were wrong, and when I raised it with my supervisor, instead of an investigation, I got accused of stealing the money myself.""Mom told

  • PREGNANT AFTER MY STEP BROTHER KNOTTED ME   The Man Behind the Messages

    ElaraI read Diego's message four times before the words actually landed."That's not possible," I said, even though some part of me was already turning it over, testing how it might fit. "He's been gone fourteen years. He never once tried to contact me. Not a birthday card, not a phone call, nothing.""Maybe he couldn't," Kael said carefully. "If he ran because he thought staying made him a target, maybe he thought reaching out would put you in danger too.""Or maybe he just didn't want to." The old bitterness came up fast, the kind I'd buried so deep I'd almost forgotten it was there. "Fourteen years, Kael. That's a long time to stay quiet if you actually cared."Mom hadn't said anything, just stood there with her hand pressed against her mouth, staring at the phone like it might change what it said if she looked hard enough."Mom.""I don't know what to say," she admitted quietly. "I always assumed he just left and never looked back. I never considered he might have been watching f

    KaelI called Diego before Elara had even finished reading the last message out loud a second time."Not again," he said, when I explained it. "I thought we were done with countdown clocks for a while.""So did I." I paced the length of Elara's kitchen, phone pressed to my ear, watching her and her mom huddled over the laptop pulling up the email header. "Can you trace this one the way you traced Doyle's messages?""Send me everything you've got. Headers, the email address, all of it." I heard typing on his end, fast and familiar. "Give me a few hours. If this is connected to your father's old company the way you're describing, there might be records I can cross reference. Old employee files, accounts that got flagged around the time this Elara's father case supposedly disappeared.""How far back do those records go?""Depends what your father kept and what he didn't. Companies like his usually keep everything, just buried under enough paperwork that nobody bothers looking unless they

  • PREGNANT AFTER MY STEP BROTHER KNOTTED ME   My Father's Name

    ElaraI read the email three more times before I said anything out loud."Elara." Kael's voice was careful, watching my face. "Who's it from?""I don't know. There's no name attached, just an email address." I turned the phone toward him so he could read it himself, watching his expression shift the way mine probably had. "My father. My biological father. I haven't heard anyone bring him up in years.""You never talk about him.""There's not much to talk about. He left when I was four. Mom never really explained why, just that it was better for both of us that he wasn't around." I stared at the email again, at the strange casual confidence in the way it was written, like whoever sent it already knew exactly how much this would shake me. "She's never once suggested there was more to the story than that."Mom came back into the kitchen just then, drying her hands on a dish towel, and stopped when she saw both our faces."What happened," she said, instantly alert in the way she'd gotten
