We had already seen the tape. Everyone had.

Floral yellow dress. Six stairs. Their house.

I already posted it. So when Rhys came to Landex at 2 PM today, we didn't need to watch it again crying. We brushed it off. The world had seen it. The truth was out.

we brushed it off and focused on what matters.

Grant files.

Rhys brought his private investigator Leo to my Landex office, not just lawyer Mark. Boxes of NSF grant files.

"Original grant, 5 years ago," Leo laid out. "National Science Fou

    The morning after the "MURDERER" graffiti, Rhys didn't sleep.He stood guard at the penthouse door all night, gun in the waistband of his sweatpants, watching the security feed, while I lay on bed rest, hands on my belly, feeling our twins flutter.By 8 a.m, the penthouse had been repainted. The police had taken the ultrasound photo for prints. The hallway had been bleached. But the feeling stayed - someone knew. Someone knew about the twins. Someone knew where we lived.Rhys was on the phone when Maria buzzed up with breakfast and a visitor."Mr. Knight there's an Ethan Reyes here to see Mrs knight He says it's urgent. He says he's... family?"Rhys's jaw locked. The name hit him like a punch.Ethan Reyes.Heir to Landex.Not Knight Corps, Landex The branch that was supposed to go to Ethan - chairman Dunn grandson Ethan was supposed to be in London for another year. Finishing his MBA at LSE. He wasn't supposed to be back until next summer."Tell him to get lost," Rhys snapped.But I

    "AMELIA!"Rhys's scream was not human.It tore through the 58th floor boardroom of Knight Corps Tower, silencing twelve billionaires, silencing his grandfather Charles Knight mid-dial to 911.I was in his arms, but I was already gone. My slip dress soaked. His suit jacket I was wearing - his jacket - soaked red. Blood on his hands. Blood on the white leather chair where I had just taken his entire empire. Blood on the polished floor that cost more than my West Village brownstone."My baby," I had whispered before the black took me. "Our baby, Rhys..."Our baby?Those two words detonated in his brain as he carried me, bridal style, running. Not walking. Running through Knight Corps Tower like a madman, kicking open double doors, shoving past assistants."OUT OF THE WAY! OUT!"Maria was running beside him, crying, holding my bag, shouting, "She's pregnant! She's pregnant! She didn't tell anyone!"His grandfather was behind, barking orders, "Clear the elevator! Get my car! Call Mount Sin

    The boardroom at Knight Corps Tower had never been so silent.Twelve of the most powerful people in New York - billionaires, investors, old money - all staring at me.At the small girl in a West Village slip dress wearing Rhys Morgan's suit jacket, sitting in Charles Knight's chair."Good morning, Mr. Morgan," I said again, because my voice had cracked the first time. "Sign over your shares, Rhys... or be fired from your own company."Maria's hand squeezed my shoulder from behind me. Don't do this, her eyes said. You love him.I ignored her. I had to. My hand was on my belly under the table, protecting the secret that was fluttering inside me - our second baby. Our second chance. The baby he didn't know about yet.Rhys stood frozen in the doorway. For five long seconds, he just looked at me.Not at the papers. At me. At my face. At the jacket swallowing me.Then, slowly, he walked forward.Every step echoed. His grandfather, Charles Knight, shook his head in disbelief from the far end

    "Rhys, I need to tell you something..."The words were right there. On my tongue. On the tip of my heart.I'm pregnant. Again. Second baby. Our second baby.Under the fairy lights in Brooklyn Bridge Park, with the Manhattan skyline glittering across the water, with his hand holding mine like I was something fragile and precious - I wanted to tell him. God, I wanted to.I imagined it. His face. His hands going to my belly. Him crying.But then fear slammed into me. Cold, fast, ugly fear.What if he thought I was trapping him again? Like Jasmine said on TV? What if he thought I was using a baby to save Landex stock? What if, after everything, he left me again when things got hard? What if I lost this one too and he watched me bleed again?My throat closed.I quickly brushed the thought away. Swallowed the secret back down where it belonged. Safe. Hidden."It's... it's cold," I whispered instead, pulling my hand back slightly.He saw it. The flinch. The lie. But he didn't push. Rhys just

    By 9:17 a.m New York time, Landex had lost 7.4%.The giant Bloomberg screen in the trading floor downtown was bleeding red. I watched it from my office on the 42nd floor, Manhattan skyline behind me, my hand unconsciously over my still-flat belly, as Maria barged in with her laptop.Maria, my assistant."Amelia, you need to stop looking," Maria whispered, her face pale. "It's getting worse."On her laptop, Jasmine's live press conference was still looping. She had rented out the press room at The Pierre. White dress. Perfect single tear."I tried to warn him. Amelia kept saying she was too busy for a baby. She told me herself, 'throw away those prenatal vitamins, I don't need them.' I have proof. I have messages. She faked the miscarriage to keep him after he caught her cheating..."The comments were a war zone.> @NYPost: LANDEX CEO'S estranged wife faked pregnancy loss?

    I kicked the trash bin under my desk.Hard."Nothing," I said too quickly. My voice was shaking. "It's nothing. Just... um just something I thought I trashed.Rhys was still on his knees, staring at the spot where the bin was. He didn't look convinced. His eyes - those grey eyes that used to read me so well - flicked from my face to my stomach."You've lost weight," he said slowly."I've been stressed," I snapped. I backed away from him, wrapping my arms around my waist. As if I could hide it. As if hiding it would protect it.A second baby. God. A second chance I didn't ask for and wasn't ready for. After losing the first one, how could I dare to hope again?What if it happens again? What if I lose this one too?No. No one could know. Not Rhys. Not anyone. If I said it out loud, it would become real, and if it became real, it could be taken away."I want you to leave," I said, cold now.Rhys stood up, slowly. He looked at his wrist, at the tattooed bracelet, then at me. "The bracelet
