UNVEILING THE TRUTH

Ivy's POV

The moment the door to my apartment clicked shut behind us, I dropped my keys on the counter and headed straight for Noah's room.

“I need a moment with my son.”

After I was sure Noah was fast asleep, I came back to the living room to face him.

“Talk,” I said. My voice was steady, but the storm behind it was barely contained. “Right now, Rowan. I want the truth.”

He stepped out of his shoes and rubbed the back of his neck, as if that would somehow give him the right words. “Ivy, I’ve already told you what I know.”

“Not enough,” I snapped, cutting the distance between us. “You told me you met Bella once. But now the investigation is showing money trails and shared shell companies. You expect me to believe you didn’t know anything?”

Rowan exhaled, jaw clenched tight. “I didn’t. I swear to you, Ivy, I didn’t know Bella was behind any of this. I would never—”

“Don’t,” I said, lifting a hand between us. “Don’t start with the I’d never hurt you line. B

    TANGLED LIES Ivy’s POV Rowan’s phone screen glowed in the dim bedroom, the grainy footage showing Bella’s cold smile as she leaned toward Maddox, whispering, “The Kelly inheritance is ours once she is gone.” My heart pounded, the warmth of Rowan’s arms from our heated night together fading against the icy fear gripping me. Noah slept down the hall, innocent in his bed, while our unborn baby stirred inside me. Bella’s voice from the hospital intercom, Gabe’s photo with Noah, Maddox’s armed men—it all crashed together, threatening the family we were fighting for. Rowan’s hand gripped mine, his gray eyes blazing as the video looped. “They’re after your inheritance,” he said, his voice low, rough with rage. He pulled me closer, his breath hot on my neck, the memory of his lips on my skin last night still lingering. “I won’t let them touch you, Ivy.” I nodded, my throat tight, my hand brushing my stomach. “The Kelly inheritance,” I whispered, the photo of my real mother flashing i

    SWEET LOVE Rowan’s POV Without another word, I pulled her down into my bed as I knelt above her, staring down as my breath tightened in my chest. Her lips were swollen from our kiss. Her cheeks flushed, eyes a little glassy. She looked like sin wrapped in silk, lying there in my bed like she belonged nowhere else. “Ivy…” My voice came out hoarse. I brushed her hair from her face, fingers trembling. “Are you sure? After everything tonight—your stomach—” “I’m fine.” Her voice was soft, but firm. “The pain’s gone. It was just tension. Stress. The baby’s okay.” I hesitated, my palm resting lightly on her bare stomach. The thought of hurting her—or our child—made me cold. I couldn’t shake the image of her doubled over earlier. Couldn’t forget the sharp panic that clawed at my gut. But then she cupped my face, pulling me closer until our foreheads touched. “Stop holding back, Rowan,” she whispered. “Please. I'm not some fragile vessel.” Her words unraveled something inside me. I

    THE COST OF TRUST Rowan’s POV The photo of Noah and Gabe burned in my hand, betrayal cutting deeper than the bullet graze on my arm, still throbbing under Ivy’s bandage. The image—dated yesterday, Noah’s trusting smile next to Gabe’s, felt like a knife, twisting with the memory of Maddox’s note: “Surrender Douglas Enterprises or Noah pays.” The mansion’s alarms had just silenced, the police clearing out after Maddox’s men fled, but the threat lingered, heavy as the gun in my holster. Ivy stood frozen, her green eyes wide with rage and fear, clutching Noah’s backpack. My heart pounded—Gabe, Bella, Maddox—they were closing in, and I’d be damned if they touched my family. “Noah,” I said, kneeling beside his bed keeping my voice soft despite the fury in my chest. “When did you see Uncle Gabe?” Noah’s eyes, so like mine, darted to the floor, his small hands twisting his dinosaur toy. “At school,” he mumbled, his voice barely audible. “Yesterday, after class. He said he was so

    SIEGE AT DAWN Ivy’s POV The mansion’s alarms blared, my heart racing for my family. Maddox’s men were circling our home, armed, their vans caught on Rowan’s security feed just minutes ago, right after Bella’s chilling voice taunted us over the hospital intercom. I clutched Noah’s hand, his small body trembling against me, while Rowan’s gray eyes burned with fury, his gun drawn. The hospital had been a trap, and now Bella’s antics loomed over our family, threatening everything, our love, our future, our unborn child. “Get to the safe room!” Rowan barked, his voice sharp as he punched codes into the security panel, arming the mansion’s defenses. He grabbed my arm, his touch firm but warm, pulling me and Noah toward the fortified basement. Gunshots cracked outside, sharp and close, and I stifled a scream, my free hand on my mouth. “Rowan, they’re here!” I said, my voice shaking as we ran down the stairs, Noah’s sneakers squeaking on the polished floor. “How did they get so close

    ECHOES OF BETRAYAL Rowan’s POV “You can’t run, Rowan.” Bella said, her voice over the hospital intercom dripping with hate as I shielded Ivy, my heart pounding with dread. The hospital’s red lockdown lights flashed, alarms blaring, and Ivy’s hand trembled in mine, her green eyes wide with fear. Noah clung to Sarah in the corner, his small face pale, and I cursed myself for letting Bella get this close. The nurse’s betrayal, Gabe’s note, the fire at Ivy’s show—all of it screamed Bella’s name, and now she was here, taunting us. I yanked my phone out, barking at Cole. “Sweep every floor! She’s in the building!” My voice was a growl, my free hand gripping Ivy’s, her ring digging into my palm. “Find her, now!” “On it, sir,” Cole said, his voice tight. “But she slipped past our perimeter. Left a decoy nurse to throw us off.” I cursed, my eyes scanning the room, the monitors beeping around Ivy’s bed. “Rowan,” she whispered, her voice weak but fierce, her hand on her stomach.

    HOSPITAL SIEGE Ivy’s POV The note he’d just been handed burned in my mind, its warning sharp after my collapse last night, the blood on my dress a terrifying sign of the baby we hadn’t known about. Rowan leaned closer, his breath warm on my cheek. “I’m locking this place down,” he said, his voice low, urgent. He stood, barking orders into his phone. “Cole, get guards on every exit. No one gets near her room.” His eyes flicked to me, softening for a moment, and he squeezed my hand. “You’re safe, Ivy. I swear it.” I nodded, my throat tight, but my eyes caught a nurse lingering by the door, her gaze darting away too quickly. Her name tag read “Clara,” but something about her stiff posture set my nerves on edge. “Rowan,” I whispered, my voice trembling, “that nurse—she’s acting weird.” He followed my gaze, his jaw clenching. “I’ll check it out,” he said, his hand brushing my cheek. “Stay put.” He was about to walk towards the door, when I grabbed his wrist, panic surgi
