last update Last Updated: 2025-07-10 01:27:03

Rhy's POV

My world was falling apart, and I was barely holding on. The photo of Lyra and Finn at that cabin burned in my mind, proof Don Salvatore was closing in on my family.

My chest ached with guilt, rage, and fear, guilt for betraying Lyra with Ciara, rage at Salvatore for threatening my son, and fear that I will lose them forever. My empire was crumbling, feds at my door, businesses burning, but none of that mattered if I couldn’t save Lyra and Finn. I’d failed them too many times, but not this time. I was done running. I was going to Miami, gun in hand, to face the Don myself.

I sat in my office, my hands shaking as I loaded my revolver, the cold metal heavy with purpose. “You’re not touching my family, Salvatore,” I muttered, my voice low and raw.

Lyra’s last words, ‘You’ll never see Finn again’ cut me like a knife, but I couldn’t give up, not yet I still have to fight. I had to find them, protect them, even if it meant dying.

I grabbed my phone and called Jake, my private i

  • PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE    chapter 62: A Traitor’s Choice

    Ciara POV (Hours before meeting Rhys)My heart slammed against my ribs as I sped away from the motel, the image of that gun and the chilling note ‘You’re next, Ciara’ seared into my mind like a tornado. The bloody knife Mara had given me weighed heavy in my bag, a constant reminder of the mess I had made. I wanted Rhys to feel the pain of losing me, but helping Don Salvatore kidnap Finn, sending that video to Lyra, and setting fire to Rhys’s warehouse had spiraled out of control. Now Salvatore’s men were hunting me, and I was running, torn between guilt and terror. I had to find Lyra and Finn, had to warn them, even if it cost me everything.I pulled into a rundown apartment I’d used as a safehouse before, hidden in Miami’s grimy underbelly. My hands trembled as I locked the door, my breath coming in short, panicked gasps. The place was sparse, just a sagging couch, a scratched table, and my laptop, but it felt like a trap closing around me. I sank onto the couch, tears spilling dow

    Rhy's POVMy heart pounded as I sped through Miami’s backroads, the mountains looming ahead, my hands gripping the steering wheel so tight my knuckles turned white. Jake’s call had confirmed Lyra and Finn were in a cabin up there, but the photo of them running, sent by Salvatore, burned in my mind. My family is in danger, and I was hours away, guilt and rage tearing me apart. I’d betrayed Lyra with Ciara, lost her trust, and now another man, Chris was rushing to save my woman and son. The thought made my blood boil, jealousy mixing with my fear.“Lyra, Finn, I’m coming,” I muttered, my voice raw, tears stinging my eyes. I’d messed up, but I’d die before letting Salvatore touch them. My phone buzzed, and I answered, my voice sharp. “Jake, tell me you’ve got more. Where are they exactly?”Jake’s voice was tense. “Cabin in the mountains, near a clearing. Coordinates are sent. But, Rhys, Chris is already headed there. He’s got a head start.”“Chris?” I roared, my chest tight with fury. “

    Lyra's POV I coughed, choking on smoke, as I crawled through the wreckage of the safehouse, my arms tight around Finn. The explosion’s heat still burned my skin, debris cutting my hands as I dragged us forward. Finn’s screams pierced my heart, his small body trembling against me. “Mommy, it hurts!” he cried, his voice shrill with fear. My chest ached with terror, my mind racing, Vince, that scarred liar, had survived, and he is after us. I had to get Finn out, had to keep him safe.“Lyra, move!” Henry shouted, grabbing my arm, pulling us from the rubble. His face was smeared with ash, his rifle slung over his shoulder. “We’re not clear yet!”I stumbled to my feet, Finn clinging to me, his dinosaur toy lost in the chaos. “Where’s Vince?” I gasped, my voice shaking, tears streaming down my face. “He did this, didn’t he?”“No time!” Henry snapped, pushing us toward the woods. “Run, now!”My legs burned as we sprinted into the trees, branches clawing at my face. Finn’s sobs broke me, ea

  • PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE    Chapter 59: A Past Unearthed

    Lyra's POV My heart pounded as I stared at the scarred man, Vince, his jagged scar triggering a memory I couldn’t grasp, a man standing over my parents’ wrecked car when I was a kid. Finn clung to me, his small body trembling, his dinosaur toy pressed to his chest. The safehouse felt like a trap, the locked door and Vince’s chilling words “I knew your parents” making my skin crawl with something I can't really explain. Henry stood tense, his rifle aimed at Vince, but I was frozen, my knife shaking in my hand, my mind reeling from shock and betrayal.“You’re lying!” I screamed, tears streaming down my face, my voice raw. “My parents died in a car crash! They had nothing to do with Salvatore!”Vince stepped closer, his eyes cold but steady. “That’s what you think, Lyra. Your parents crossed Don Salvatore years ago. They owed him money, big money, and they tried to run. That crash? It wasn’t an accident darling.”My knees buckled, and I clutched Finn, my heart breaking. “No,” I whisper

    Ciara POV My heart slammed against my chest as I floored the gas, my car swerving out of the lot, the blinding headlights of the other vehicle chasing me. I gripped the bloody knife Mara had given me, my hands shaking unsteadily, my breath shallow. Don Salvatore’s men were after me, I knew it. I have pushed him too far, questioned his plans, and now he was turning on me. The alley, the warehouse, his cold threat about Lyra and Finn, it all screamed I was disposable. I wanted revenge on Rhys, but this? This was a death sentence, and I was running for my life. I don't know which way to go again or how to go about it, everything has started falling apart for me.I sped through Miami’s backstreets, my tears blurring the road, my mind a mess of fear and guilt. Finn’s scared face, Lyra’s heartbreak, Rhys’s empire burning, I’d helped cause it all, and now it was swallowing me whole, swallowing me deep and I'm drowning in the mess. I needed to get away, to think, to find a way to fix this

  • PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE    chapter 57: A Deadly Deal

    Ciara's POV My heart pounded as I stood in the dark alley, the cold air biting my skin. The mysterious woman from the bar leaned against a brick wall, her eyes glinting under the flickering streetlight. The bloody knife she gave me was heavy in my jacket pocket, a constant reminder of the danger I was in. I wanted revenge on Rhys for breaking my heart, but now, with Don Salvatore’s threats against Finn and this woman pulling me deeper into some twisted game, I was scared. My hands shook, my mind screaming to run, but I needed to know where Lyra and Finn were. If I could warn them, maybe I could undo some of the damage I have caused, just maybe.“You’re late,” the woman said, her voice sharp, her dark hair falling over one eye. “I don’t like waiting, Ciara.”“I’m here now,” I snapped, my voice trembling despite my effort to sound tough. “You said you know where Lyra is. Tell me, or I walk.”She smirked, stepping closer, her boots crunching on the gravel. “Patience, sweetheart. I’ll g
