LEILA

SEVEN WEEKS LATER

The room tilted before I could get out of bed. I caught the edge of the mattress, my fingers tightening against the sheet as the wardrobe blurred in front of me. For a few seconds, I stayed bent forward, waiting for the room to settle.

Then a sharp ache pulled low across my stomach. My hand went there at once. “Not today,” I whispered. I remembered the dates correctly.

    LEILASEVEN WEEKS LATER...The room tilted before I could get out of bed. I caught the edge of the mattress, my fingers tightening against the sheet as the wardrobe blurred in front of me. For a few seconds, I stayed bent forward, waiting for the room to settle.Then a sharp ache pulled low across my stomach. My hand went there at once. “Not today,” I whispered. I remembered the dates correctly. I still had two weeks before my estimated due date, and there were things I wanted to put in order before then. I wanted to finish the work waiting on my desk, make sure the current project was moving in the right direction, and know that the office could manage without me when I finally had to step away.I knew I couldn't plan everything. The baby would come when she was ready, and no amount of preparation could change that. Still, having things under control gave me some peace of mind.I sat still until the ache eased, then reached for the glass of water on my bedside stool. I drank slowly

    KARLI stared at her, waiting for her to explain what she was doing in my office. Instead, Jennifer moved closer and smiled.“It's our first time, Karl. Don't you think you should give me a proper greeting?”Before I could respond, she leaned toward me, sliding her hand across my shoulder again. I immediately pushed her away. “Have you lost your mind?”She stumbled backward, lost her balance, and fell to the floor. “My ankle!” she cried, clutching her leg. “Oh, my ankle!”I stared at her, too irritated to respond. “Get up,” I said.She shook her head, her face twisting in pain. “I can't. It hurts so much.”I glanced at the office door, already regretting that I'd allowed this woman to take up even a minute of my time. I had work to do, and I wasn't interested in whatever game she thought she was playing.“Call someone, then,”

    KARL“It's my company,” Ellen said, tapping the black key card. “I've spent the past nine years building it. It's worth $1.8 billion now.”I stared at her before letting out a disbelieving laugh.I picked up the file and dropped it back onto the mattress. “My father stripped me of everything, and now you expect me to believe you've secretly built a billion-dollar company?”She didn't flinch.“I’ve been funding it through a trusted friend for nine years. He's managed the business from the beginning, built the team, and overseen its growth. I've remained behind the scenes, involved in the decisions that mattered.”I studied her face, searching for the slightest sign that she was making it all up. “And Theodore never found out? You expect me to believe that, too?”“The company was established independently of him. I kept my involvement private, and I had no reason to bring it to his attention.”I shook my head. None of it made sense.For as long as I could remember, my mother had enjoyed

    KARLSomething kicked my ribs. "Hey. Get up."I opened my eyes to a pair of worn work shoes. Morning light spilled across the concrete floorboards, and when I tried to sit up, my head throbbed with a sharp pain. My stomach lurched instantly, the bitter taste of cheap whiskey coating my tongue."I'm talking to you," the voice snapped.I looked up, squinting against the glare. A man holding a mop stared down at my face, his expression completely unbothered by my grey suit."Do you know who I am?" I demanded, my voice coming out rough and dry.He glanced down at my soaked jacket, then at the wet pavement around my legs.

    GEORGEI drove to the estate immediately. I found Theodore in the dining room with two nurses attending to him. One held a glass of water while the other prepared his medication.He looked up as I entered."George, what brought you to the estate this night?""What did you say to Leila?" I said looking straight into his eyes.His hand paused over the table. He looked at me but didn't answer. Instead, he took the glass from one of the nurses, swallowed the tablets, and handed it back."Excuse us for a moment," he said, nodding towards them. The nurses gathered their things and walked out, leaving us alone.Theodore reached for his cane and pushed himself to his feet. He leaned on it, then extended his left hand toward me. "Help me to the living room."I stared at him for a moment. He kept his hand extended. I stepped forward and took his arm."I was thinking of sending for you tomorrow morning," he said, stea

    LEILA"My name is Graham Ashcroft. I'm Mr. Theodore Hawthorne's legal counsel." He placed a blue document on my desk. "Mr. Hawthorne asked me to deliver this proposal to you, Miss Stonne. He's prepared to offer you ten percent of his personal wealth."I glanced at the document but left it where it was."Why?"Graham folded his hands in front of him. "His personal wealth is currently valued at thirty-six billion dollars. The ten percent offer amounts to three point six billion."I looked at the document again."There's more," Graham said. "Mr. Hawthorne is willing to sponsor your company's relocation to France. He will cover the costs of establishing the business there and provide th
