Ruthless Daddy; His Bratty Little Girl Grown To Fit 2
Daphne The obstetrician comes in as if she's heard her name, in a long white coat with a stethoscope slung around her neck and a portable scanner on a cart. She doesn't make me wait. She takes one look at my face and says, "The baby is fine."I don't realize I've stopped breathing until I start again."Heartbeat's been steady through the surgery and since. It never skipped, not once." She wheels the cart close and spreads cold gel over my stomach, on the side that doesn't hurt. "I want you to see this, because I don't think you'll believe me otherwise."The screen blurs, then resolves. A gray shape, a curve, a bright flicker low in the center. It's bigger than the last time. I can see the outline of something that might be a hand."Everything's where it should be," she says. "Your body's been through a great deal, and so has your baby, and both of you came out ahead of what I'd hoped. I'm still going to keep a close eye on you. But today, I'm allowed to be cheerful."I turn my head.
Ruthless Daddy; His Bratty Little Girl Grown To Fit 1
Daphne's POVThe first thing I hear is a heartbeat, and it isn't mine.I've gotten used to my own. It's been in my ears for weeks, slow and tired and anxious. This one is fast, a small, fierce flutter, like someone knocking on the other side of a door. It comes out of the dark and fills it, and I lie there with my eyes shut, not sure yet that I have eyes, and think with great calm: *Oh. There you are.*Pain arrives second. It's a tight, bruised band across my right side, as though I've been strapped into a corset made of heat. I breathe through it the way the nurses taught me, shallow, then a little deeper, and the dark thins into orange and then white.The ceiling is made of square tiles. Someone has taped a paper star to the rail of my bed, wobbly and green, with *DAPHNE* written across it in marker. I stare at it for a long time before I understand that Eli made it.Then I turn my head, and there's Julian.He's in a wheelchair beside the bed, a hospital gown under a blue robe, the
Ruthless Daddy; His Bratty Little Girl Part Of Me
Julian's POVThey wake her at five, and I'm there before the nurse is.The hospital hums with the particular quiet of early morning, floor polisher somewhere down the corridor, a cart's wheel ticking against the tile. Daphne sits up in the bed in a gown with faded blue flowers on it, her hair pinned back, the moonstone still on her finger because she refused to take it off and the nurse finally gave up. Eli sits in the chair by the window with his knees pulled up. He hasn't said a word in twenty minutes. Luca is outside the door, where he's been all night.Dr. Chen comes in with the surgeon and the obstetrician. The surgeon is a tall, grave man with enormous hands. He lays it out for the third time, and I listen as though I haven't memorized it. They will remove the part of the liver that holds the tumor. The obstetrician's team will monitor the baby through the whole operation. They've chosen this week because the safest window for a surgery like this is now."One more thing," the su
Ruthless Daddy; His Bratty Little Girl Stay
Julian’s POVMr. Aldous arrives on Thursday at four o’clock, exactly as he promised, carrying a case no bigger than a hardcover book.He’s shown into the living room by Luca, who gives me a look of such studied neutrality that I know he’s already guessed what’s in the case. Daphne comes down the stairs in her socks with her hair up. She sees the jeweler, stops on the third step from the bottom, and puts her left hand behind her back as though she’s been caught at something.“You can look at it first,” Mr. Aldous says gently. “Before it goes back on.”“I’d rather put it on and then look.”“A sensible order.”She takes the ring from its velvet slot herself. I stand off to the side, near the window, with my hands in my pockets. This is hers. I realized that in the shop, with the rain coming down and her face lit up from the inside. Some things you give someone, and then you step back.She slides it on. The band has been resized by a hair, so that it sits snug against the knuckle, and the
Ruthless Daddy; His Bratty Little Girl Ryker Stone
Julian's POVThe north-end safehouse sits at the end of a gravel lane, behind a fence and a stand of bare trees, and in daylight it looks like nothing at all. I carry a folder under one arm and a thermos in my other hand. Luca offered to come down with me. I told him I'd rather do this part with no one else in the room.The two men on the door nod and step aside. One of them says, "He's been quiet since Tuesday," and I say, "Thank you," and go down the stairs.The room is the same, concrete and one bulb, but Brento has changed. He's thinner. His beard has come in uneven, and the split along his eyebrow has healed to a pale line. He's no longer tied to the chair. They gave him a cot and a table a week ago, and he sits on the cot with his back against the wall and his knees drawn up, watching the door as I open it. He doesn't stand. He doesn't speak until I've set the thermos on the table and taken the chair across from him."Did he send you," he says, "or did you come on your own?""Wh
Ruthless Daddy; His Bratty Little Girl Last Warning
DaphneCaleb Hunter is already at a corner table when I walk in, two cups steaming in front of him like this is just another catch-up. He stands when he sees me, and his smile is so relieved that part of me wants to turn around before I ruin it."You came.""I did." I stop beside the table and rest my hand on the back of the empty chair without pulling it out. "I'm not staying."His smile fades. He glances at the cups, then back at me. "I ordered your usual.""Caleb, I need to say something once, and I need you to actually hear it."He lowers himself back into his seat. "Okay. I'm listening.""This is the last time I'm meeting you."The milk steamer shrieks behind the counter and cuts off, and the quiet it leaves is worse than the noise."Daphne—""We've done this before." I nod toward the window, where Julian's black SUV waits at the curb, two men inside pretending not to watch the door. "Every time we sit down, you tell me you're just checking on an old friend. And every time, the c
