The hum of the server room was the only sound in the world. It was 3:00 AM, the witching hour for coders and criminals alike.

I stood behind Lewis, my head of cybersecurity, watching lines of code scroll down the monitor like a digital waterfall. For weeks, I had been hunting a ghost. Someone had been bleeding NeXus dry, leaking our bids, our architecture, our soul.

I had suspected Aria. I had suspected Sienna. I had suspected everyone.

"Got him," Lewis whispered, his fingers freezing over the keyboard.

"Show me," I commanded, leaning in.

"The packet sniffer caught a data exfiltration attempt ten minutes ago," Lewis explained, pointing to a string of IP addresses. "It’s routing through a proxy in the Caymans, but the origin point... it's not inside NeXus."

"Where is it?"

"It's coming from a private server registered to a shell company called 'Obsidian Ventures'."

I frowned. "Obsidian? That sounds like a bad Bond villain front."

"Digging into the shell now," Lewis said. He typed a comm

  • Pregnant With My Twin Sister’s Fiancé’s Baby   Chapter 93: Emma Rose West

    The recovery room was quiet, a stark contrast to the primal noise of the delivery suite. The only sounds were the low hum of the air conditioning, the distant beep of a monitor down the hall, and the soft, snuffling breaths of the tiny human sleeping in the clear plastic bassinet beside my bed.I lay still, afraid to move. Not just because my body felt like it had been run over by a steamroller—twice—but because I was terrified of breaking the spell.Emma Rose West.She was wrapped in a standard-issue hospital blanket with pink and blue stripes, a matching beanie pulled low over her forehead. She was sleeping with her hands curled into fists by her cheeks, looking like she was ready to fight the world if it woke her up."She's perfect," Noah whispered.He was sitting in the uncomfortable vinyl armchair, pulled as close to the bed as possible. He looked wrecked—his hair was a disaster, his t-shirt was rumpled, and there were dark circles under his eyes. But he was staring at the bassin

    "Ten centimeters," Dr. Martinez announced, her voice cutting through the haze of exhaustion in the room like a beacon. "It's time, Aria. On the next contraction, I need you to push."I stood by the head of the bed, gripping Aria's hand. My other hand rested behind her neck, ready to support her.She looked up at me. Her face was flushed, streaked with sweat and tears. Her hair was plastered to her forehead. She looked wrecked. She looked terrified.And she looked like the most powerful thing I had ever seen.I had negotiated deals that changed the landscape of the tech industry. I had stared down federal investigators. I had thought I knew what pressure looked like. I thought I knew what strength looked like.I was wrong.Strength was watching the woman you love turn herself inside out to bring life into the world. Strength was holding her hand while she screamed, a raw, guttural sound that tore through my chest."I can't," she whispered, her voice raspy. "Noah, I'm so tired.""I know

  • Pregnant With My Twin Sister’s Fiancé’s Baby   Chapter 91: Rush to Hospital

    The hospital room had been quiet, a sanctuary of dim lights and rhythmic beeping that I had almost lulled myself into finding peaceful. Noah was sitting in the uncomfortable armchair next to the bed, holding a cup of ice chips, his head resting against the wall.Then, the rhythm changed.Beep... beep... beep...The steady, galloping sound of Emma's heartbeat on the monitor slowed. It didn't just slow; it dropped. The numbers on the screen, which had been hovering a steady 140, plummeted.A red light flashed on the console. A sharp, high-pitched alarm cut through the air like a knife."Noah?" I sat up, clutching the side of the bed. "What's that sound? What's happening?"Noah was on his feet instantly, the ice chips forgotten on the table. He looked at the monitor, his face draining of color. "I don't know. Nurse!"He didn't have to call. The door flew open before the word left his mouth.Two nurses rushed in. Their faces were tight, professional masks that did nothing to hide the urge

  • Pregnant With My Twin Sister’s Fiancé’s Baby   Chapter 90: Water Breaks

    "My water just broke," Aria whispered.The words hit me harder than the verdict. Harder than the corporate espionage. Harder than anything I had faced in the last nine months.I froze for a millisecond—a single heartbeat where my brain processed the data. Fluid. Labor. Baby. Now.Then, the override kicked in."Okay," I said, my voice sounding surprisingly steady in the quiet penthouse. "Okay. Bag. Car. Doctor."I threw the covers off. I didn't bother with a suit. I pulled on jeans and a t-shirt, my hands moving with a speed that felt disconnected from my body.Aria was sitting on the edge of the bed, frozen. She looked down at the puddle on the floor, then up at me. Her eyes were wide, dark pools of shock mixed with a terrifying excitement."Noah," she said, her voice trembling. "She's coming. Tonight.""She is," I said, grabbing the hospital bag from by the door—the one we had packed and repacked three times. "And we're ready."I walked over to her. I helped her stand, my hands gripp

  • Pregnant With My Twin Sister’s Fiancé’s Baby   Chapter 89: Sienna Faces Consequences

    The federal courthouse smelled of floor wax and old decisions. It was a smell I would associate forever with the dismantling of my family.I sat in the second row, my hands resting on the immense curve of my stomach. At thirty-eight weeks pregnant, sitting on a wooden bench was torture, but I wouldn't have been anywhere else.Noah sat beside me, his thigh pressing against mine, a solid anchor in a room that felt like it was tilting."All rise," the bailiff announced.Judge Hawthorne entered. He was an older man with a face carved from granite and eyes that had seen too many people throw their lives away for money or pride.He looked down at the defense table.Sienna stood up.She wasn't wearing the designer armor she usually donned for battle. She wore a simple navy dress and flats. Her hair was pulled back in a low ponytail. Without the makeup, without the diamonds, without the sneer... she looked exactly like me.She looked terrified."Ms. Stone," Judge Hawthorne said, his voice boo

  • Pregnant With My Twin Sister’s Fiancé’s Baby   Chapter 88: Evidence and Settlement

    The conference room at the District Attorney’s office was becoming a second home I never wanted.Instead of code and architectural renderings, the table was covered in the autopsy of a betrayal. Digital forensics reports, bank statements from the Cayman Islands, and witness testimonies from the fired Vertex employees."It's airtight," the lead prosecutor said, tapping a stack of papers. "We have the chain of custody on the data. We have the wire transfers. We have the confession from your junior developer, Lim."I sat next to Marcus. He looked tired, but the devastation that had haunted him for weeks had hardened into a grim resolve."And Sienna?" Marcus asked."Her guilt is indisputable," the prosecutor stated. "She facilitated the transfer. She accepted the payment. Under federal law, she's looking at five to ten years for corporate espionage and wire fraud."I looked at Aria. She was sitting on my other side, her hand resting on her stomach. She flinched at the mention of prison ti
