Pregnant With the Billionaire's Forgotten Baby CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE: THE UNIT SIX BLOCKS AWAY
Damien did not raise his voice. He did not need to.“Secure the storage unit immediately. Full team. Treat it as hostile until proven otherwise. I want inventory, cameras, and every print that can be lifted before anyone contaminates the scene.”Gabriel’s reply was already in motion. “Units are rolling. Two minutes to the gate. We’ll have the unit open under controlled conditions. I’ll feed you live status.”Elena stood in the bedroom doorway, one hand still on the frame, listening. Behind her Noah slept on, unaware of the new distance that had just closed around them.“Six blocks,” she said quietly.“Yes.”“They leased it yesterday. While we were still deciding this location was clean.”“Yes.” Damien locked the encrypted phone and set it on the table. “Residual orders. Residual money. The people still working are not improvising. They’re finishing a list someone else wrote before the structure collapsed.”Elena glanced back at Noah, then stepped fully into the main room and closed th
Pregnant With the Billionaire's Forgotten Baby CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR: THE CAR THAT STILL WATCHED
Damien did not return to the house by the main route.He took the secondary approach Gabriel’s team had held in reserve, entering through the rear service gate while two outer units swept the street and the adjoining blocks. The unauthorized vehicle was already gone. A neighborhood camera had caught the plate as it turned east two intersections away. The plate came back clean—registered to a short-term rental company that had been used once before in the earlier probe pattern. The driver had not lingered long enough for a clean facial capture.Inside the house the atmosphere had changed. The residual calm of the morning medical all-clear was gone. Elena met him in the kitchen with Noah close at her side. The boy’s expression was alert in the way it became when the adults’ tension rose again.“They saw him,” Elena said. It was not a question.“Yes. Brief visual from the street. They’re not inside the perimeter and they didn’t attempt entry. But they confirmed the location and they got
Pregnant With the Billionaire's Forgotten Baby CHAPTER NINETY-THREE: THE MAN WHO WALKED IN UNARMED
Damien listened to Gabriel’s report twice before he spoke.“Crowe is in the main lobby of Ashford Tower. Unarmed. Cooperative. He asked for the board chair by name, then stated he will speak only to me. Security has him in a holding room on the executive level. No one else is in the room with him.”Elena stood near the couch where Noah slept. The morning light had strengthened, but the house still felt suspended between the night’s violence and whatever came next.“You’re going,” she said.“Yes.”“After everything he did—after the note with Noah’s name on it—you’re walking into a room with him.”Damien met her eyes. “He’s the last one still free who designed the protocol. Richard is chemically compromised and under guard. The operators are in custody. Crowe is offering information he says the records don’t contain. If he’s lying, we lose nothing but time. If he’s telling even part of the truth, I need to hear it before he changes his mind or disappears again.”Elena’s arms were folded
Pregnant With the Billionaire's Forgotten Baby CHAPTER NINETY-TWO: THE NOTE THAT NAMED THE BOY
The words of Crowe’s note remained in the air long after Gabriel finished reading them.Elena was already moving toward the bedroom before Damien could speak. He followed. Noah lay on his side in the unfamiliar bed, one hand tucked under the pillow, breathing evenly. In the soft morning light he looked ordinary and small—exactly what a five-year-old should look like after a night of fear and interrupted sleep.Elena sat on the edge of the mattress and rested her palm against his forehead, then his cheek. Her touch was careful, practiced, the same checks she had performed through every ordinary childhood illness. Noah stirred but did not wake.“He feels fine,” she said. The statement was steady. The undercurrent was not. “No fever. Pulse is normal. Color is good.”Damien stood in the doorway and forced himself to stay still rather than crowd the bed. “We have a full medical team moving to this location under Gabriel’s protocols. Pediatric toxicology and neurology. Quiet arrival. No hos
Pregnant With the Billionaire's Forgotten Baby CHAPTER NINETY-ONE: THE SMILE BEFORE THE FALL
The medical report from the annex reached Damien before the boat fully tied to the dock.Richard was alive, but only just. The field team had stabilized a sudden collapse—irregular rhythm, dropping blood pressure, no external injury. The operator who had been watching him repeated the same detail each time he was asked: Richard had looked at the time, smiled as if a private schedule had been met, and then gone down hard.Damien stood on the concrete apron with the waterproof case under his arm and the river still moving behind him. The word “toxin” hung in the open channel without anyone needing to push it further. Richard had always preferred solutions that left few clean edges. A final self-administered exit, timed to deny the board and the courts a living defendant, fit the pattern too well to ignore.Gabriel’s voice stayed level. “They’re moving him to a secure medical unit under full guard. No family visitors, no private physicians. If it’s a toxin, the hospital will find it. it’
Pregnant With the Billionaire's Forgotten Baby CHAPTER NINETY: THE BOAT ON THE BLACK WATER
Damien did not let go of Elena or Noah until Ruiz repeated the report from the river side.“Single adult on the boat. Moving with the current, no lights. The operator we took at the stairwell repeated the word ‘failsafe’ twice and then stopped talking. He looked like he expected the building to do something it’s not doing.”Elena’s hand stayed locked around Damien’s forearm. Noah had both fists twisted into the front of his jacket and showed no sign of releasing them. Damien kept one arm around the boy and the other steady on Elena’s back while he processed the new variables.“Sweep the building for charges or remote triggers,” he said. “Full secondary. And get a unit on the water. I want that boat stopped before it reaches the open channel.”Ruiz was already moving. Orders went out in short, clean bursts. Two operators stayed on the door. Damien finally eased back enough to look Elena full in the face.“Are either of you hurt?”“No.” Her voice was rough but steady. “They used the ext
