PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE Chapter 97: Divided Loyalties
Chris's POVThe message from Ciara made my blood run cold. Three words that changed everything: Trap. Explosives. Building wired."We can't go to the pier," I said, showing the text to Rhys and Lyra back at the safehouse. "It's a setup. The whole building is rigged to blow."Lyra sank onto the couch next to sleeping Finn. "So Ciara's going to die.""Not if we get there first," I said. "We stage a rescue before the meeting time.""Are you insane?" Rhys snapped. "If the building's wired with explosives, going there early is suicide.""And going there at the scheduled time isn't?""We follow Elena's demands," Rhys said firmly. "We bring what she wants, make the trade, get Ciara out alive.""She's not going to let anyone walk away," I argued. "You heard Ciara, it's a trap. Elena plans to kill everyone.""Then what do you suggest? Storm the building like some action movie?""I suggest we don't walk into an obvious trap."Lyra looked between us. "What are our options?""We call the police,"
PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE Chapter 96: The Trade
Ciara's POVThe rope around my wrists was cutting into my skin, but that was the least of my problems. I was tied to a chair in what looked like an old warehouse, and the woman calling herself Elena was pacing in front of me like a caged animal."You're not Elena Martinez," I said, testing the bonds. "Elena Martinez died six months ago."She stopped pacing and smiled. "Very good. I wondered when someone would figure that out.""So who are you really?""Agent Rebecca Torres," she said. "I was David and Margaret Chen's handler for three years."My blood went cold. "You worked with Lyra's parents?""Worked with them, watched them, tried to control them. But they got greedy. Started altering evidence, planting fake information. They thought they were above the law.""So you killed them?""I didn't have to," Torres said. "They made enough enemies that someone else did it for me. But I made sure it happened.""You're a federal agent. You're supposed to protect people.""I protect the system
PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE Chapter 95: Blood and Betrayal
Lyra's POVThe words hit me like a truck. My parents weren't heroes. They weren't even honest federal agents. They were dirty cops who faked evidence and made enemies of some very dangerous people."You're lying," I said to Rhys, even though I could see the truth in his eyes."I wish I was," he said quietly. "But Sarah confirmed it. Your parents were going to be arrested when they died. They weren't murdered by Salvatore's people, they were killed by someone they framed."I sank into the bank chair, feeling like my entire world was collapsing. Again."So everything I believed about them was wrong," I said."Not everything," Chris said gently. "They loved you. That was real.""Was it? Or was I just part of their cover story?""Lyra.." Rhys started."Don't," I said, holding up my hand. "Just don't. I can't handle any more comfort right now."I stood up and walked to the small window, staring out at the street. People were walking by, living normal lives, dealing with normal problems. I
PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE Chapter 94: Undercover Truth
Rhys's POV The photo of Elena shaking hands with the FBI agent felt like a bomb going off in my head. I stared at it, trying to make sense of what we'd discovered. Lyra's parents weren't just federal informants, they were part of something much bigger. And Elena, the woman hunting us, was supposed to be on the same side. "This changes everything," I said, my voice barely steady. "Does it?" Lyra asked, studying the documents spread across the bank's private viewing room table. "Or does it just make everything more complicated?" "It makes everything more dangerous," I said firmly. "If Elena's FBI and she's still trying to kill us, then someone inside the Bureau wants us dead." Chris was reading through a thick file, his face getting darker with each page. "These aren't just surveillance reports," he said. "These are kill orders. Your parents weren't just gathering evidence they were marked for elimination." "By who?" Lyra asked. "Someone high up," Chris replied. "Someone with th
PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE Chapter 93: The Other Key
Chris's POVI stared at my phone for the tenth time in five minutes, fighting the urge to call Lyra. She'd left her parents' house three hours ago without saying where she was going. The second key had shaken her badly, and I couldn't shake the feeling that she was about to do something dangerous."Still no word from her?" Rhys asked, pacing around my apartment like a caged animal."Nothing," I said. "But I might have found something about Elena's network."I'd spent the morning reaching out to contacts I'd hoped never to use again. People from my smuggling days who dealt in information as much as stolen goods. It left a bitter taste in my mouth, but if it helped Lyra, it was worth it."What kind of something?" Rhys asked, stopping his pacing."Elena Martinez isn't just working alone. She's got connections to three different crime families, all of them enemies of Salvatore. This isn't just about revenge, it's about a power grab.""How do you know all this?" Rhys asked suspiciously.I
PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE Chapter 92: Trust, Tainted
Lyra's POVThe silence in my childhood home felt different now. Everything looked the same, the worn leather couch where Dad used to read his newspapers, Mom's collection of ceramic birds on the mantle, the family photos scattered throughout the living room. But Vince's words had poisoned it all.Your parents were stealing from him. They withdrew two million dollars three days before they died.I sat at Dad's old desk in his study, staring at the locked drawer I had never opened. After twenty years, I'd finally found the key in Mom's recipe box, tucked behind her index card for chocolate chip cookies. My hands shook as I turned it in the lock."Are you sure you want to do this alone?" Rhys asked from the doorway. He'd been hovering since we got here, trying to be supportive, but his presence felt suffocating."I need to know the truth," I said, pulling the drawer open.Inside were files I'd never seen before. Bank statements from accounts I didn't recognize. Investment records showing
