POV: HENRY

The phone rang in my pocket. The sound was loud and repetitive. I ignored it at first. I kept pressing down on the wound with my foot. He groaned in pain, his face sweaty and smeared with blood. But the ringing didn’t stop.

I pulled out the phone with my free hand, keeping the gun aimed at him. I answered.

“Hello?” My voice came out firm, but tense.

“Mr. Henry Carter? This is the emergency department at Central Municipal Hospital,” a professional voice echoed on the other end. “Your wife, Lauren Becker, was admitted a few minutes ago.”

My whole body tensed. My breath caught for a second.

“Her condition is serious. We need you to come immediately. Authorization is required for the procedures.”

“Is she okay?” I asked, feeling a weight in my chest. My legs nearly gave out. “She and the baby?”

“Her condition is unstable. She’s lost a lot of blood. We’re trying to stabilize her now,” the doctor replied seriously. “We need your presence as soon as possible.”

    POV: HENRY“I’m going to stay by Lauren’s side. Until they bring the answers they promised,” I added, lowering my eyes to her, so vulnerable in that hospital bed.I moved closer to the bed and gently stroked her hand with my thumb. Every touch reminded me of what I was protecting… and what they had almost taken from me.“I’ve already called my security team,” I continued, turning my gaze back to Lucian and Kate. “They’re coming in full force. The entire floor will be evacuated. No one comes in or out, except for trusted medical staff. And more than that—I asked them to reinforce Alice’s security. But until everything is under control, you two will be my eyes… and my ears.”Lucian stepped closer in silence. His face, usually relaxed and sarcastic, was serious and dark. He placed a firm hand on my shoulder.&ld

    POV: HENRYI clenched my fists tightly. The veins bulged in my arms. The air felt heavier, filled with everything I’d been swallowing down for the past few hours. Lucian's and Kate’s eyes immediately turned to me, surprised.“Ravi too?” Lucian asked, confused, blinking as if he hadn’t heard right. “Lauren’s former obstetrician?”I nodded firmly. I didn’t look away. This wasn’t a suspicion anymore. It was certainty.“That’s why I called you here,” I said coldly, my tone direct and sharp. “I need you to help me find him.”Lucian crossed his arms slowly, his shoulders tense. He raised a skeptical eyebrow and sighed deeply.“And what do you plan to do when you find him?” he asked calmly. “Are you going to kidnap the doctor?”I let out a brief,

    POV: HENRYThe doctor hesitated for a second. He swallowed hard. His face turned pale.That small detail, that pause, lit something inside me.“A girl?” he repeated, trying to maintain his composure.My blood boiled.“You…” I muttered, stepping toward him with restrained fury. “You delivered the baby and didn’t see the sex of my daughter?”I grabbed him by the collar of his coat with both hands and shoved him against the cold wall of the room. My fists clenched the fabric so tightly that my knuckles turned white. The sound of Lauren’s machines was the only noise in the background, and even so, everything felt silent. Silent before the explosion.“What kind of incompetent doctor are you?!” I almost growled, my face close to his. “Do you think my daughter is just another body on tha

    POV: LAURENA loud, whiny, strong cry—full of life.I sobbed instantly, the sound cutting through me while also giving me back the heart I thought I had lost. Relief washed over me for a moment. The tears streamed down even harder.The masked nurse approached slowly, holding my baby in his arms. She was wrapped in a white cloth. My chest nearly burst when he brought her close to my face. And then I saw her.Alice.Her little blue eyes were open, alert, taking in everything around her. Just like mine. Her skin was still pink, her tiny body fragile and perfect. On her wrist, a small red birthmark in the shape of a heart was clearly visible.“Hi, baby girl…” I whispered with a choked voice, unable to hold back the tears. “I’m your mommy, sweetheart. Everything’s okay now, okay? I promised I’d protect you. Mommy’s here&hel

    POV: LAUREN“We need you to try to stay calm,” the doctor said in a low voice, forcing a reassuring tone. “Your blood pressure is unstable. This could harm both you and the baby…”“No!” I interrupted, feeling a hot wave of despair rise from my stomach to my throat. “I don’t want to calm down! I want to know if my daughter is okay!” I screamed through sobs, my whole body twisting from the pain and crying. “Is she… is she alive?”Their silence destroyed me inside. For a moment, everything seemed to stop. The sound of the monitor, the nurse’s touch, even my own breathing. My eyes widened, and my throat tightened. The doctor looked away for a second, as if carefully choosing every word.“Miss…?” He looked at me, holding the clipboard.“Lauren…” My voice came out weak, broken.

  • THE CEO'S PREGNANT NANNY   198 – IT’S TOO SOON

    POV: LAURENIn the background, the steady beeping of a heart monitor pulled me back into consciousness. Before I even opened my eyes, I groaned in pain. My body was tense, my chest heaving. I tried to sit up abruptly, but something pulled on my arm, stopping the movement. A sharp sting shot through me, and then a strong contraction tore across my abdomen like a hot blade. I clenched my teeth hard, trembling. My hands gripped the sides of the stretcher in desperation.My skin was damp, sweat streaming down my temples, sticking my hair to my forehead. I opened my eyes slowly, scared, trying to understand where I was. The room was white, cold, and sterile. The ceiling lights blurred my vision. There was an IV in my arm. I looked down at my belly, bringing my hand to it urgently. It was tight, tense… and my baby wasn’t moving.“Where am I?” I murmured with a weak, hoarse voice, still gasping. I tried to lift mysel

    POV: HENRYJames looked me straight in the eyes, his teeth stained with blood and a crooked smile on his face.“Who?” he replied mockingly. “You’re really tense, Henry… Relax; let’s talk. How about a cup of coffee?”I stared at him in silence for a second. His blood splattered on the floor. My muscles were tense, ready to explode.“I’m not in the mood for your games, James,” I growled.Without giving him time for another provocation, I slammed my knee hard into his abdomen. The impact made his body fold, gasping and spitting out saliva mixed with blood. James collapsed to the ground, groaning loudly, face down.I took a few steps around him, trying to control my breathing, but the fury had already taken over. I kicked his ribs hard. Once. Twice. His groans of pain echoed through the empty warehouse.

  • THE CEO'S PREGNANT NANNY   195 – WHERE IS MY WIFE?

    POV: HENRYI looked at the phone screen one more time. The tracker was still flashing red.Location active.Latitude, longitude… deactivated industrial zone. My jaw tightened. I knew that place. An old warehouse owned by the company, abandoned for years, isolated from the city—hidden enough for any kind of shit to happen without anyone hearing a scream.I opened the glove compartment and took out the small wooden box. The family crest engraved on the lid was worn over time. I ran my fingers over the Carter initials with a tightness in my chest.“I never thought I’d have to use this, Dad,” I murmured, feeling my voice crack. I opened the box and stared at my father's old pistol. The weight of the gun in my hands was lighter than the weight of the responsibility I was about to take on. I bit the inside of my cheek until the metallic taste of blood filled my mouth.“I need to protect them.&rdqu
