    CARTER'S POV Hope went to the NICU for observation because she was early. Standard protocol for thirty-five weekers the doctors said.

  • The Billion Dollar Bet   Chapter 298

    GRACE'S POV I called Carter Sunday morning with my conditions. "I read your letter five times. I believe you know me. But Carter, knowing someone and staying with someone are different things." I was sitting on my porch while the twins played inside with my mom. "I need you to prove you'll stay

  • The Billion Dollar Bet   Chapter 297

    CARTER'S POV I spent three days writing the letter. Not because I couldn't think of things to say but because I kept deleting what I wrote. Kept falling into old patterns of what sounded good instead of what was true. Dr. Chen told me to stop performing and just write honestly about why I loved Gr

  • The Billion Dollar Bet   Chapter 296

    CARTER'S POV The full reality hit me about thirty seconds after Grace told me. I was going to be a father again.

    GRACE'S POV I'd been nauseous for a week. Blamed it on stress from the press conferences and therapy and trying to figure out if Carter and I were actually doing this. My mom noticed first. "Grace, you look green. When did you last eat?" She was watching me push food around my plate at Sunday di

    GRACE'S POV I couldn't sleep after that conversation with August. Kept replaying his question. Why did our daddy leave?

    His response came fast: "Understood. Business only. I'm sending the full proposal to David tonight. Look it over. Think about it. No pressure for more than a conversation."

    "How can you be sure?" I needed her certainty. "Because I'm watching you with them. I'm watching you be exactly the father they need. That relationship, that's real. That's what they'll hold onto even when they learn the beginning was complicated." She took a breath. "But Carter, we're not having t

    We talked for another thirty minutes. Dr. Chen walked me through grounding exercises for the panic attack. Reminded me of the coping strategies we'd worked on. Made me commit to coming to her office tomorrow for an in-person session because clearly I needed more than phone check-ins right now. By t
