PREGNANT AFTER MY STEP BROTHER KNOTTED ME The Man in the Doorway
KaelThe footsteps stopped somewhere past the first row of pallets, still hidden in the dark, close enough that I could hear breathing that wasn't mine or Doyle's."Show yourself," I said, keeping my voice steadier than I felt.Nobody answered right away. Doyle had gone rigid beside me, the folder forgotten on the crate, his hand drifting toward the bag he'd pulled it from like he was reaching for something else entirely."Doyle." A voice came out of the dark, calm in a way that made it worse. "You really thought you could cut me out of my own investment."Doyle's jaw tightened. "This wasn't part of the deal, Kane. You said you'd stay back until I finished negotiating."Marcus Kane stepped into the light, and I understood immediately why my father had never trusted him past arm's length. He looked exactly like the kind of man who smiled in board meetings and destroyed people afterward, expensive coat, easy posture, the look of someone who'd never once doubted he'd win."Negotiating."
PREGNANT AFTER MY STEP BROTHER KNOTTED ME Fifty-eight Minutes
KaelThe drive to the warehouse gave me too much time to think, and not enough time to actually plan anything useful.I called Diego the second I pulled out of Elara's driveway, phone on speaker, hands white-knuckled on the wheel for what felt like the tenth time that day."Tell me you're already close," I said."Fifteen minutes out. What happened?""Doyle moved the meeting up. Warehouse off Route 9, one hour, and the clock's already running. He wants me alone.""That's not happening." Diego's voice went hard and fast, the tone he used when he'd stopped thinking like an employee and started thinking like someone who actually cared what happened to me. "You do not go in there without eyes on you. I don't care what the text says.""I know. That's why I called you first.""I'll park two streets over, come in on foot, stay out of sight unless something goes wrong." A pause, papers shuffling somewhere on his end. "Kael, if Kane's behind this and Doyle's just the errand boy at this point, w
PREGNANT AFTER MY STEP BROTHER KNOTTED ME The whole Truth
ElaraDinner was set for seven. By six thirty, I'd changed my shirt three times for no reason at all, like what I wore actually mattered for a conversation that was about to blow up everything my mother thought she knew.Kael showed up at six forty five, dressed like he was walking into a business meeting instead of his own kitchen. I almost laughed when I saw him, except nothing about tonight felt funny."You look like you're about to get fired," I said."I feel like I'm about to get fired." He straightened his collar for the third time since he'd gotten out of the car. "Or worse.""There isn't any worse. She already knows the big part.""She knows we're together. She doesn't know about Wren. About my father. About Kane and Doyle and whatever's about to land on all of us tonight." His jaw tightened. "That's a lot to hand someone over for dinner."He wasn't wrong. I led him inside anyway, because waiting on the porch wasn't going to make any of it easier.Mom had made a real dinner, n
PREGNANT AFTER MY STEP BROTHER KNOTTED ME What Diego Found
ElaraDiego wanted to meet at a diner two towns over, somewhere none of us would run into anyone who knew the Voss name. Kael drove faster than usual, and I didn't tell him to slow down, because some part of me wanted to get there just as badly as he did."You're sure this is safe," I asked. "Meeting in public like this.""Public is safer than private right now." Kael's eyes stayed on the road, but his knuckles had gone white on the wheel again, a habit I was starting to memorize. "If someone's watching us, a crowded diner is harder to do anything in than an empty parking lot."That didn't make me feel better, but I didn't say so.Diego was already in a corner booth when we got there, a laptop open in front of him, a coffee gone cold at his elbow like he hadn't touched it in a while. He looked younger than I expected, maybe thirty, with the kind of tired eyes that came from staring at a screen too long."Sit," he said, not bothering with hello. "You're going to want to see this sittin
PREGNANT AFTER MY STEP BROTHER KNOTTED ME The safe
KaelI didn't answer her question. I couldn't, not sitting in a parking lot with my hands still shaking on the wheel."Kael." Elara's voice had an edge to it now, somewhere between scared and furious. "What's in the safe?""I don't know," I said, and it was mostly true. "I know it exists. I know my father's never let anyone touch it, not me, not Reyna, not even my mother as far as I can tell. That's all I've got.""That's not nothing.""No. It's not." I pulled back out onto the road, hands tighter on the wheel than they needed to be. "But I've never seen inside it. I've never even asked. Growing up, some things you just learn not to poke at."She was quiet for a second, watching the houses slide past the window. "Where is it? The safe.""His office. Behind the bookshelf, the one with all the old law texts nobody's ever pulled off the shelf in my lifetime." I glanced at her. "Elara, I'm not saying we should go looking for it.""I didn't say that either.""You were thinking about it."S
PREGNANT AFTER MY STEP BROTHER KNOTTED ME What her mother saw
ElaraI had my mom's number pulled up before I even decided to call her.Kael reached over and put his hand flat over my phone screen. "Wait.""He said check her phone. What if he already sent it?""I know. I know." He pulled his hand back and dragged it through his hair instead, breathing hard like he'd been running somewhere in his head even sitting still. "If it's already gone out, calling her in a panic doesn't undo any of it. Let's think for one second before we react to something that might not even be real yet."I hated that he was right. I called anyway, because thinking felt impossible with my hands shaking the way they were.She picked up on the second ring."Elara? Is everything okay, you never call between classes."Her voice was normal. Tired, a little distracted, the way she always sounded when she was in the middle of something at work. Not the voice of someone who'd just opened an email full of photos taken outside a cabin two hours away, not the voice of someone whose
