Tastes Like Damn Chocolate Chapter 138
Chapter 138 The elevator carried her up to the third floor, and she found the room easily. She knocked softly before entering. Tiana looked impossibly small in the hospital bed, surrounded by monitors and IV lines and the antiseptic sterility of medical equipment. Her left leg was elevated and immobilized in a cast and brace. Her torso was wrapped to support the broken ribs. A bandage covered the gash above her eyebrow, and bruises were already blooming across her visible skin in violent shades of purple and blue. But her eyes were open. Alert. Alive. "Hey," Sandy said softly from the doorway, her voice thick with emotion she couldn't quite control. Tiana's head turned slightly, and something like relief crossed her battered face. "You're here." "Of course I'm here." Sandy crossed to the bedside, pulling up a chair with trembling hands. "Where else would I be?" "I don't know. Back at the house with Nikolai?" Tiana's voice was hoarse, probably from screaming during the fall. "He

CHAPTER 137 The emergency room at Velmore General was controlled chaos when they wheeled Tiana in. Sandy tried to follow the gurney through the trauma bay doors, but a nurse intercepted her with practiced firmness. "I'm sorry, you need to wait in the family area. Someone will update you as soon as…" "I'm family," Sandy interrupted, her voice rising with desperation. "I'm her sister-in-law. Please, I need to know she's okay. I need to…" "And we'll update you as soon as we have information." The nurse's tone was kind but immovable. "But you can't be in there. I'm sorry. The waiting room is just down the hall. someone will come find you." "But…" "Ma'am." The nurse's hand was gentle but firm on Sandy's arm, guiding her away from the doors. "The best thing you can do for her right now is let the doctors work. Go to the waiting room. We'll come get you as soon as we know anything." The trauma bay doors swung shut with a pneumatic hiss, leaving Sandy alone in the hallway. She stood

Chapter 136 Tiana tried to move, to assess the damage, but her body wouldn't cooperate. Her legs, both of them now, refused to respond to her commands. She could feel them there, could feel the pain radiating from them, but they wouldn't move. The phone. She needed the phone. She craned her neck, searching, and saw it through tear-blurred vision, still upstairs where it had fallen, its screen glowing uselessly twenty feet above her. No. No, there had to be another way. Think. Think through the pain and the fear and think. Nikolai had broken every traffic law getting there. He'd called Tiana's number seventeen times during the drive but there was no answer. He'd tried the house phone but it just rang and rang. He'd pushed the Range Rover to speeds that made the engine scream, running red lights, taking corners so hard the tires left rubber on the asphalt. Sandy had called him back once to say she was stuck in traffic, wasn't going to make it in time, that he needed to get there
Tastes Like Damn Chocolate Chapter 135
CHAPTER 135 The pain started slowly. Tiana was upstairs in her bedroom, sitting on the edge of her bed reviewing Sandy's partnership documents for the third time. Pascal had gone down easily tonight, tired from a full day of playing, and the house had settled into that peaceful evening quiet she'd come to appreciate during Nikolai's absence. The first cramp was low and dull, easy to dismiss as normal pregnancy discomfort. She shifted position, rubbed absently at her lower abdomen, and continued reading about liability clauses and operational structures. The second cramp made her gasp. It wasn't a whisper anymore. It was sharp and twisting, like something inside her was tearing loose. The papers scattered from her lap as both hands flew to her stomach, her breath catching in her throat. She waited, counting seconds, praying it would pass. It didn't pass. It built. Wave after wave of cramping seized her body, each one stronger than the last, until she was doubled over on the bed

CHAPTER 134 Nikolai decided to go to the penthouse rather than the residence when he returned from his trip.The penthouse felt different after days away. Nikolai dropped his luggage immediately he stepped out the elevator and loosened his tie, fatigue from the conference and cross-country flight settling into his bones. "You're back!" Indy appeared from the bedroom wearing one of his shirts, the hem hitting mid-thigh, her hair tousled in that calculated way that was supposed to look effortless. She crossed the living room with a model's grace. "I missed you," she murmured, sliding her arms around his neck and pressing against him. "You finally returned." Nikolai returned the embrace automatically, his body going through motions his mind had disconnected from. She smelled like expensive perfume and ambition, and when she tilted her face up for a kiss, he gave it to her. "How was your trip?" she asked, leading him toward the couch, her fingers working at the buttons of his shirt.

CHAPTER 133The morning of Nikolai's departure began with the organized chaos of last-minute packing. Tiana watched from her wheelchair in the hallway as he moved efficiently between rooms, checking his briefcase, confirming flight details on his phone, issuing instructions to Maryann about household matters.Pascal clung to his father's leg in the foyer, small face scrunched with concern. "How long will you be gone?""Four days, buddy." Nikolai crouched down to eye level, adjusting Pascal's shirt collar with careful fingers. "The tech conference in Seattle, remember? We talked about this.""But what if I need you?""Then you call me. Anytime, day or night." Nikolai pulled him into a hug, and Tiana saw something tighten in his expression. "But you're going to be fine. You're a brave boy.""I know." Pascal's voice was muffled against Nikolai's shoulder. "But I still don't want you to go."Nikolai pulled back, smoothed Pascal's hair. "I need you to do something very important for me whi
