The Halloway Records building was smaller than Liam expected — six floors, no marble lobby, no glass tower designed to make visitors feel insignificant before they'd even reached the elevator. Just a converted warehouse in the industrial district with good acoustics and a reception desk staffed by someone who actually looked up and smiled when he walked in.

Diane Okafor met him personally, which surprised him.

"Most people expect me to send an assistant," she said, catching the look on his face

  • Pregnant by the Alpha who Left   What Gets Rebuilt and What Just Gets Patched

    Liam came home the next morning, exhausted from a night with no sleep, and found Ethan already awake, sitting at the kitchen table with two cups of coffee, one of them clearly untouched and waiting."I'm not going to apologize again," Ethan said, before Liam had even set down his bag. "Not because I'm not sorry. I am. But I've said it, and I meant it, and saying it a second time starts to feel like asking you to forgive me faster than you're ready to."Liam sat down slowly, wrapping his hands around the coffee. "That's surprisingly self-aware.""I had a long night too." Ethan's voice was quiet. "I want to tell you what I actually decided, if you want to hear it."Liam nodded."I'm divesting Cole Industries' stake in Halloway's parent company," Ethan said. "Not to punish anyone, and not so you owe me anything for it. So it's simply not a question anymore. Whatever you build with them, it won't have my money sitting underneath it, even indirectly."Liam sat with that for a moment, somet

    The Halloway Records building was smaller than Liam expected — six floors, no marble lobby, no glass tower designed to make visitors feel insignificant before they'd even reached the elevator. Just a converted warehouse in the industrial district with good acoustics and a reception desk staffed by someone who actually looked up and smiled when he walked in.Diane Okafor met him personally, which surprised him."Most people expect me to send an assistant," she said, catching the look on his face as she led him through a hallway lined with framed records. "I like meeting artists before the paperwork starts. You learn more in five minutes of walking than in an hour of meetings.""And what have you learned?""That you're nervous, that you dressed up more than you needed to, and that you've been rehearsing something on the drive over that you're going to abandon within the first two minutes." She glanced at him, amused. "How am I doing?""Uncomfortably well.""Good. Then we can skip the pe

  • Pregnant by the Alpha who Left   The Question Nobody Asked

    Winter came in quietly, and with it, something that looked almost exactly like peace.Noah turned six months old on a grey Tuesday that Liam marked with nothing more elaborate than a small cake he and Zara made badly, and photographs Ethan took far too many of. Gerald Carter hadn't sent another message. Marcus Chen had stayed silent for nearly three months. The Jason Blake case moved steadily through the courts without needing either of them to fight for it anymore.It was, Liam kept thinking, the first genuinely ordinary stretch of his adult life.He wasn't entirely sure what to do with it."You're doing the thing again," Zara said one afternoon, watching him hover restlessly near the studio window instead of working on the mix he'd opened an hour earlier."What thing?""Waiting for the ceiling to fall in." She raised an eyebrow. "It's been quiet for three months, Liam. You're allowed to just live in it.""I know." He exhaled, turning away from the window. "I think that's actually th

  • Pregnant by the Alpha who Left   Facing Fifth and Grant

    The address Rebecca provided led to a modest apartment complex on the edge of the city, worn but not derelict, the kind of place that spoke of someone scraping by rather than thriving.Liam sat in the car for a long moment before getting out, Ethan's hand steady on his shoulder, offering silent support without pushing him to move faster than he was ready for."You don't have to do this," Ethan said quietly, one final time."I do," Liam said, though his voice wavered slightly. "I need to look him in the eye. Just once, as the person I've become instead of the kid who ran."He got out of the car.Gerald Carter opened the door on the third knock, and for a long, suspended moment, neither of them said anything at all.He looked older than Liam remembered, grayer, thinner, the sharp, cold authority Liam remembered from childhood worn down into something more tired, more diminished. It should have felt satisfying, seeing him reduced like this.It mostly just felt sad."Liam." Gerald's voice

  • Pregnant by the Alpha who Left   Something Only Family Would Know

    The third message arrived a week later, and this one made Ethan's blood run cold before he'd even finished reading it.Ask Liam about the apartment on Fifth and Grant. Ask him why he really left Ohio at nineteen. Some secrets are worth more than a broken engagement story.There was no photograph this time. No ambiguous, twistable moment. Just details, specific, accurate details about Liam's life from years before Ethan had ever known him.Details Liam had never mentioned to Ethan at all.Ethan sat with the message for a long time before showing him, uncertain, for the first time in months, whether transparency was actually the right instinct here, not because he doubted Liam, but because whatever this was, it clearly touched something Liam had never chosen to share.He showed him anyway. He'd promised no more secrets, and he intended to keep that promise even when it was hard.Liam went very still, reading the message twice, color draining slowly from his face."Where did this come fr

  • Pregnant by the Alpha who Left   The Truth That Wasn't

    The message sat unanswered on Ethan's phone until morning, and even then, he stared at it for a long moment before showing Liam, some old instinct to protect him from unnecessary worry warring with the promise he'd made months ago.No more secrets.He showed him anyway."'The truth about your engagement to Chloe,'" Liam read aloud, frowning. "What truth? It ended. Publicly, dramatically, months ago.""I don't know," Ethan admitted. "But I'd rather find out who's sending this than ignore it and hope it disappears."He forwarded the number to Rebecca, who traced it within hours to a burner phone, purchased with cash, no clear trail beyond that, professional enough to suggest deliberate anonymity, but not sophisticated enough to be Marcus, who'd gone quiet in the weeks since his confrontation with Daniel."Could be a journalist fishing for a reaction," Rebecca suggested. "Sometimes the simplest explanation is right, someone trying to bait a response they can twist into a story.""Or some
