CRYSTAL.

“What are you even saying right now? You’re his father,” I shot back, stunned that this was why he dragged me here like a criminal.

"Don't lie to me! The doctors reached out. They said my blood wasn't a match for him, and that it only meant one thing..." He looked away for half a second, just long enough for the devastation to flicker across his face before he crushed it.

“Jaden…” My voice softened despite my rage. “Don’t tell me you actually believe Jason isn’t your son.”

A small disbelieving scoff escaped me. “Are you blind? Or you’re just trying really hard to be stupid?”

His eyes snapped open wider with hurt, fury, and betrayal clashing at once.

“Don’t you fucking dare insult me, Crystal!” He left my arm and wrapped his fingers around my neck, locking my eyes to his like he needed to see my soul and rip it apart. "I fucking trusted you! You told me I was the only one you loved. But this..." He lifted a crumpled paper with shaking fingers. "This right here is proof

    JADEN. Before I could return Kellan’s calls and tear his head off, Rick called back.That was fast.I swiped and answered immediately. “Talk.”Rick didn’t waste time.“You were right to be suspicious,” he said. “I traced Noah’s employment. He’s working for Halcyon Cyber Systems.”My steps slowed, then stopped.“…Halcyon?” I repeated.“Yes.”For a second, I thought I’d misheard him.Halcyon didn’t just hire people. They curated them. That place was locked down tighter than most government facilities. Half the staff had military-grade clearances. The other half were handpicked through circles that didn’t even advertise themselves.“You don’t walk into Halcyon,” I said slowly. “You’re pulled in.”“That’s the problem,” Rick replied. “I couldn’t find any record of him being recruited the usual way.”My jaw tightened. “Meaning?”“Meaning there was no interview. No application. No hiring pipeline. Nothing.”I was quiet. “They weren’t even hiring at the time Noah was onboard

    JADEN.My phone wouldn’t stop ringing, no matter how hard I tried to ignore it.I’d been in the hospital for barely twenty minutes, and I’d already gotten enough calls to last a lifetime.Before coming here, I’d made sure the Nexus Contract was done and sealed. I pulled strings. I forced the signing to happen by eight this morning. Everything that could’ve dragged me away had already been handled.So why the fuck was Kellan calling me like the building was on fire?Crystal paced the waiting area, restless, wound tight. I could feel her watching me from the corner of her eye.I silenced the phone and slid it into my pocket.If I was going to be here for Jason, then the rest of the world could burn for a few hours.I moved toward her just as she started talking to that asshole, Noah."You should be at work, Noah. You're still new there and..." She was saying, but Noah placed his hands on her shoulders, and I saw the way she physically flinched before relaxing into his touch.

    CRYSTAL. Jaden came to see Jason last night, just as he promised.And it had been… unbearable.I couldn’t stay in the same space with him for more than a few minutes without feeling like my chest was closing in. Every time our eyes met, it dragged up things I’d spent years burying. Memories I didn’t ask for. Feelings I didn’t want. Old wounds that hadn’t healed the way I pretended they had.Some of those memories were good.That was the problem.The rest were the kind that made it hard to breathe. The emotions warring inside me each time make it difficult to think straight around him. All I wanted more than anything was the grace to see this surgery through and leave New York immediately after. I didn’t want closure. I didn’t want him in my life in any capacity beyond this hospital room.A man who walked away from me once and destroyed my life without looking back didn’t get to stand at the center of my life again."Mummy... Will Daddy still be able to make it?" Jason asked after so

    JADEN. You can call me selfish.I already had.Because the moment she didn’t pull away, the last scraps of restraint I had evaporated. Logic left. Guilt followed. All that remained was need.I stopped thinking like a man and started feeling like an animal that had just gotten its prey back.It was like a dream come true. The woman I'd been craving all these years, finally in my arms without a fight? Fuck, I'd do anything just to remain in this moment. I kissed her harder, slower, testing, forcing her mouth open with mine, and she responded. She fucking let it happen.That alone almost destroyed me.I pulled her gently from the wall and guided her backward until the mattress met her knees. I broke the kiss only long enough to push her down onto the mattress. She fell on her back, soft and breathless, and I followed without hesitation, bracing myself over her.Her eyes were shut, almost as if she couldn't hold my gaze. The stupid little gown rode up her thighs the second sh

    JADEN.I paced restlessly, crossing the room over and over until the space felt too small for my body.Did I drive too fast?Was I too early?Or was she just running late?I refused to even entertain the idea of her not showing up. That thought alone felt lethal. It could kill me. I'd barely survived the hours leading up to this. If she didn't come, it would break something in me I wasn't sure I could put back together.When I sent that text, I hadn't waited for a reply. I'd jumped up, grabbed my keys, and headed straight to this house. Didn't even want anyone driving me. I checked the time again and looked out the window. After what felt like an eternity, I finally saw her alighting from a taxi. Everything inside me fucking stilled. She looked around frantically before knocking on the gate, and it slid open without delay. The second I heard her at the door, I yanked it open, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her inside so fast she collided with my chest."Jaden! What are you

    CRYSTAL.Days had passed, and the awkwardness between Noah and me hadn’t faded. If anything, it had settled between us like something we were both pretending not to see.He was genuinely remorseful. I could tell. And I wanted—God, I wanted—things to go back to how they used to be between us before lines were crossed.But it wasn’t that simple.He had started his new job. It's been three days already, and he seemed to love it there. Every time he talked about it, his eyes lit up.He was also given a "decent" apartment, according to him. He invited me over, but I promised I'd visit whenever I could. I still couldn't bear the thought of being alone with him in a room. I was happy for him. Truly. But it also meant I would be going back to Ithaca alone.Just Jason and me.The thought made me sad, but I couldn't pull him down when he was on his ladder of success. "Mummy?" Jason called me when I zoned out on him again.“Yes, honey?” I replied, turning to him.“When is Daddy comi
