Sweat beaded on his forehead, and his complexion had gone from flushed to ashen as the full implications of his actions settled over him."There," he said, sliding the document across the desk. "It's all there. Everything she asked me to do."Nate picked up the pages, scanning them quickly before passing them to Grayson. "Seems thorough. He's included the financial transaction details, the source of the fake sample, even their… arrangement."Grayson read through the confession, his jaw tightening at certain passages. Morgan's desperation had reached new depths. According to Russo, she'd approached three other doctors before finding one willing to compromise his ethics."Make the call," Grayson instructed, folding the confession and tucking it into his jacket pocket. "Tell Morgan everything went according to plan."
At 9:47 AM, a sleek black town car pulled up to the curb. The back door opened, and Morgan stepped out, immaculately dressed in a cream-colored suit, oversized sunglasses hiding half her face despite the overcast day."Right on schedule," Nate murmured.Grayson watched as Morgan said something to the driver before turning toward the clinic entrance. She paused, looking around as if sensing she was being watched, then disappeared inside."Now we wait," Nate said, settling back in his seat.The minutes stretched into an hour, then longer. Grayson checked his phone frequently, waiting for a message from Nate's inside man. At 11:04 AM, the clinic door opened again, and Morgan emerged, her posture radiating satisfaction."She looks pleased with herself," Grayson observed, a knot forming in his stomach.Before Nate could respond, his phone buzzed. He answered, listening intently before his expression darkened. "Are you sure? You saw it yourself?" A pause. "Understood. Stay there until we ar
Monday, October 23rd, 7:15 AMGrayson woke with a sense of unease that he couldn't immediately place. Beside him, Honey slept peacefully, her copper hair splayed across the pillow, face relaxed in slumber. He watched her for a moment, savoring the sight before carefully slipping from the bed.In the bathroom, he splashed cold water on his face, trying to shake the foreboding that had settled over him. Today was monumental—Honey would reveal herself to the company, and Morgan would supposedly take the paternity test. Two pivotal events that would shape their future together.Yet something felt wrong.After a quick shower, Grayson returned to find Honey awake, sitting up against the pillows."Morning," she said, voice still husky with sleep. "You're up early.""Couldn't sleep." He sat on the edge of the bed, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Big day."Honey studied his face. "Something's bothering you. What is it?""Just a feeling." Grayson ran a hand through his damp hair. "About Morga
Nate laughed. "No, I think we both know who'd win in that scenario. Between your father's connections and your own intelligence, I'd put my money on you." His expression softened. "Besides, I've seen how you look at him. You're not going anywhere. I'm happy for you both."No, she wasn't going anywhere. Despite the whirlwind nature of their relationship, despite the complications with Riley and Morgan, she wanted to be in it for life if he would have her. It didn't matter if Morgan was pregnant.Grayson returned, eyebrow raised at them. "Should I be worried you two are getting along so well?""Definitely," Nate said with mock seriousness. "We're plotting world domination, starting with Taylor Industries."Honey laughed. "Don't worry. We've decided to keep you around. You have your uses." She winked at him.Honey picked up a few dishes from the table. "I'll take them inside. You need to talk to Nate." She was giving Grayson the time to talk to his friend about Morgan and her latest mess
The lines on Grayson's forehead deepened as he stared at the message from Morgan. "She could be lying about that too. Saying she'll be there, then not showing up."Honey studied his troubled expression, chewing her bottom lip thoughtfully. "You don't trust anything about her, do you?""Not anymore." Grayson locked his phone and set it on the counter, rubbing his temple. "It's hard to trust someone who's proven themselves capable of sustained deception.""If you have such strong feelings about this," Honey ventured carefully, "why were you going to marry her?"Grayson's eyes met hers, something vulnerable flickering across his face before he could mask it. "Because I didn't know she was lying. Not until I caught her." He leaned against the counter, arms crossing over his chest. "When it first happened, I was in shock. Then angry. But afterward..."He paused, searching for words. "Afterward, I started examining everything. Small inconsistencies in her stories. Times she couldn't be reac
Honey glanced at Grayson before answering. "It started as a way to make my own path without trading on my father's name. My father also wanted me to have around-the-clock protection. Then it became... a habit, I guess. A comfortable separation between my personal and professional lives.""Plus, her soon-to-be ex-husband is a controlling jerk who preferred her invisible," Grayson added, his tone hardening slightly.Emma's expression sobered. "Ex-husband? I didn't realize...""We're in the process of divorcing," Honey explained. "It's complicated. Riley, my husband, has been... difficult. He's the reason I'm staying with Grayson right now, actually. Security concerns. So, I have the round-the-clock protection I never wanted.""I see," Emma said thoughtfully. "That explains the men outside.""Security detail," Grayson confirmed. "Riley violated a restraining order recently."Emma reached across the table to squeeze Honey's hand. "I'm sorry you're going through that. Though I have to say,
