(Lena's POV)

I waited until we were in the car the next morning to call Elena.

Adrian was driving me back to my flat. We'd woken up late, had breakfast, and spent another hour just lying in bed looking at the ring on my finger like teenagers who couldn't believe what had happened.

But now it was real life again and people needed to know. I pulled out my phone and dialed Elena's number.

She picked up almost immediately. "Finally,” she grumbled. “I was starting to think you'd forgotten how phones

    (Elena's POV"You're going to burn it."Daniel didn't look up. "I'm not going to burn it.”It was Sunday. A rare one where neither of us had work emergencies or family obligations to attend to. Daniel had shown up at my flat at ten in the morning with a bag full of groceries and announced he was making breakfast.I'd been skeptical. Daniel's cooking skills were not exactly good. Disastrous, if I was being honest.But he'd been insistent. So now I was sitting on my kitchen counter watching him attempt to make scrambled eggs while the pan smoked."The heat's too high. You need to turn it down.""The heat is fine.""It's literally smoking.""That's just—" He stopped, and looked down at the pan. "Okay it might be slightly burnt."I pressed my lips together to stop from smiling. Then I watched him poke at whatever was in the pan with increasing concern."Don't say it," he said without looking at me."I didn't say anything.""But you're thinking about it.”"I'm not thinking about anything."

    (Julian's POV)I was at Emma's swimming lesson when my phone beeped with a news alert.The pool waiting area was full of other parents. Most of them are scrolling their phones, and a few are watching their kids through the observation window.I've been checking work emails, and trying to stay on top of things even though I'd officially stepped back from most Hart Industries operations.The Guardian notification appeared at the top of my screen."Pharmaceutical Company Hid Pregnancy Drug Risks, Court Documents Show"I almost dismissed it and kept scrolling through emails about board meeting schedules.But something made me click. The article loaded, and I read the first paragraph. The second too, and I had to go back and reread the third because my brain refused to process what I was seeing.The drug name. It was the one Evelyn's doctor had prescribed when she was so sick during the first trimester she couldn't stop vomiting. The medication she'd taken for six weeks because the doctor

    (Raymond's POV)I got to know about the news during my lunch period.I was sitting in the chemistry lab prep room eating a turkey sandwich when Joyce Martinez, a fellow teacher burst through the door with her phone held out like a weapon."Raymond, have you seen this?" She didn't wait for me to answer first and just shoved the screen in my face. "That popular pharmaceutical company. The pregnancy drug scandal. They knew about the miscarriage risks and hid it."I took her phone carefully, and read the headline. Instantly, almost every muscle in my body locked up."Pharmaceutical Giant Suppressed Data on Pregnancy Drug Risks, Court Documents Reveal"The article loaded slowly, and each paragraph appearing felt like a death sentence.There was the company name, and the drug name. References to internal research teams and clinical trials from 2015 to 2017. Exactly when I'd been there."Can you believe it?" Joyce was still talking and pacing the small prep room. "All those women who lost ba

    (Lena's POV)The filing went public on a Tuesday morning at nine forty-seven A.m.I was in a board meeting explaining Q4 budget allocations when Elena slipped into the room. She tried to be as quiet as possible and walked to where I was sitting at the head of the table and placed a folded piece of paper next to my laptop.I glanced down at it while Dr. Tanaka was responding to a question about research equipment costs.“It's live. Thank court documents are public. The press already has it.”I read it once, and felt something shift in my chest but kept my expression neutral. I folded the note carefully and slipped it into my jacket pocket.And then went right back to talking about budget projections like nothing happened.The meeting lasted another forty-three minutes. When we finally adjourned I walked calmly back to my office. Elena was already there when I walked in. Sitting at my desk with her laptop open and her phone in her hand."Show me," I said.She turned the screen toward m

    (Lena's POV)We barely made it through his bedroom door before his hands were pulling my shirt over my head.I helped him with his, buttons flying around and fabric hitting the floor. Neither of us are patient enough to do it properly.He backed me toward the bed, and I let him. I felt the mattress hit the back of my knees and sat down hard.He followed me down, his mouth on mine. Hands everywhere at once.This wasn't like the other time. This time was different. No hesitation, and no part of me waiting for something to go wrong.Just him and me and the certainty that we'd chosen this and each other.I pulled him closer and he obeyed willingly. He settled his weight on me carefully.His mouth moved to my neck, and found that spot just below my ear that made my breath catch. He knew exactly where it was now. He had learned my body and I was impressed.I leaned into him. He responded by pressing me flat against the mattress. One hand sliding up my side, his thumb brushing the underside

    (Lena's POV)For three weeks I kept the engagement private from the outside world .The ring stayed on my hand at home but came off every morning before I left for work. I'd set it carefully on my dresser. Look at it one more time, then walk out the door and spend the day being just CEO Lena Blackwood.At night I'd put it back on. Sit on my sofa or Adrian's and turn my hand to watch how the stone shone under the light. Adrian never asked when I planned to tell people. He let me savor the privacy, and I loved him more for that.***Three weeks later I was drowning in emails at my desk.From meeting requests from investors who wanted face time. To industry newsletters with headlines like "10 Biotech Trends You Can't Ignore" that I absolutely could and would ignore.Then I saw a name that made me stop scrolling. Melissa Christine.My brain took a second to recall it. The woman from the cafe. Three years ago. Adrian’s ex. I opened the email.“Dear Dr. Blackwood,I hope this email finds y
