Dorian’s POV.

The narrative had turned, and it hadn’t done so gradually or in a way that could be slowed or redirected with careful intervention. It had shifted all at once, violently enough that everything I had set in motion collapsed beneath it before I had the chance to contain it.

I stood in front of the screen in my office, the same footage still running, but it no longer carried the same weight it had an hour ago. The anchors who had dissected Clara Everett with surgical precision were n

  • The Billionaire Baby Mama Returns   Chapter 60.

    Elena’s POV.The silence inside my private study was absolute, but the noise inside my head was deafening.“We can break through eventually, Ms. Everett,” Captain Miller had told me before I left the warehouse, his voice carrying the grim weight of reality. “We can tear down their firewalls and trace the dummy tower. It is not impossible. But whoever took him is using a highly sophisticated off-the-books network. Because the entire operation is running dark, bypassing those security layers is going to take time. Days. Maybe a week. We will find him, but it is not going to happen tonight.”Time.The word repeated on a relentless, agonizing loop inside my head. It wasn’t that they couldn’t find my son. It was that they couldn’t find him fast enough.I stood beside the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the glittering Los Angeles skyline, feeling a terrifying emptiness hollowing out my chest from the inside.Days. Maybe a week.How was a four-year-old child supposed to survive that long

  • The Billionaire Baby Mama Returns   Chapter 59.

    Adrian’s POV.Waiting for my security team to run a background extraction on Clara Everett felt like bleeding out slowly from a thousand paper cuts. I couldn’t sit inside that suffocatingly silent penthouse another minute without feeling like my thoughts were turning violent beneath my skin.When I heard the heavy doors of Elena’s private suite open later that evening, I didn’t announce myself. I stood silently in the shadows near the East Wing hallway and watched as she and Donovan moved quickly toward the private elevator. Both of them were dressed in dark clothes, their expressions grim and locked into the kind of absolute focus people carried into warzones.The moment the elevator doors slid shut, I moved.I bypassed my usual driver completely and went straight to the subterranean garage beneath the penthouse tower, grabbing the keys to an unremarkable dark gray sedan from the secondary fleet.Donovan’s armored SUV pulled onto the street less than two minutes later, and I followed

  • The Billionaire Baby Mama Returns   Chapter 58.

    Adrian’s POV. The penthouse was suffocatingly quiet. Four days had passed since Elena’s world imploded, yet the image of finding her breaking apart on the living room floor still refused to leave my head. Somehow the distance between us had only hardened into something colder and far more dangerous. She moved through the penthouse like a ghost now, pale and exhausted, carrying a haunted tension that never seemed to leave her shoulders no matter how carefully she tried to hide it beneath the polished armor of Clara Everett. I was standing in the kitchen early that morning, pouring black coffee into a mug, when the sharp vibrating buzz cut through the silence. It wasn’t coming from my phone. The sound came again a few seconds later, low and insistent against the marble console table near the hallway, and my eyes shifted toward it automatically. A sleek secondary phone rested beside a stack of unopened financial reports. It wasn’t the primary device Elena usually carried through boar

  • The Billionaire Baby Mama Returns   Chapter 57.

    Dorian’s POV.Four days.That was how long it had been since Silas had the child brought into captivity, and for four straight days I had thoroughly enjoyed the absolute spectacle of Clara Everett’s silent, frantic unraveling.I sat in the back of my armored town car as it cruised smoothly through the decaying industrial arteries of the Arts District, my tablet resting across my lap while encrypted updates from Silas continued streaming across the screen in real time.It was almost embarrassing how easily my network was outmaneuvering them.Clara had deployed Donovan Cross and whatever off-the-books resources he could quietly mobilize, and for the last four days I had watched them tear through Los Angeles chasing ghosts while desperately keeping the entire operation buried beneath the surface. There had been no police statements, no media leaks, no amber alerts, and no public acknowledgment that a child had even disappeared. Clara Everett clearly intended to keep the boy’s existence h

  • The Billionaire Baby Mama Returns   Chapter 56.

    Adrian’s POV.Sleep was a mathematical impossibility.I lay in the center of the sprawling king-sized bed in the quarters given to me in the East Wing of the penthouse, staring up at the dark ceiling while the digital clock on the nightstand crept past three in the morning. My body was exhausted, but my mind refused to slow down, running in relentless circles that only grew sharper the longer I stayed trapped inside them.Every time I closed my eyes, all I saw was Donovan Cross.The image of him stepping out of Elena’s private residential corridor beside her, carrying himself with the casual familiarity of a man entirely comfortable in spaces I still couldn’t reach, gnawed at me with a level of irritation I couldn’t rationalize away. Donovan wasn’t an employee or a subordinate. He was a billionaire CEO in his own right, ruthless enough to build an empire that rivaled entire international firms. Men like Donovan didn’t stay this close to someone unless they wanted something from them.

  • The Billionaire Baby Mama Returns   Chapter 55.

    Elena’s POV.The unmarked warehouse on the outskirts of the Arts District smelled faintly of stale coffee, overheated wires, and ozone. Captain Miller’s off-the-books task force had converted the abandoned structure into a temporary command center, but staring at the glowing maps and silent surveillance monitors spread across the room, it felt less like an operations hub and more like a graveyard where every lead came to die.I stood at the primary screen with my arms folded tightly across my chest, exhaustion burning behind my eyes hard enough to make the fluorescent lights feel sharp.“Nothing?” I asked quietly, though the hollowness in my voice made the single word sound harsher than shouting would have. “You have unrestricted access to the municipal grid, and you’re still telling me you have absolutely nothing?”Captain Miller exhaled slowly and leaned one broad shoulder against the metal operations table. He looked as exhausted as the rest of us, dark circles carved beneath heavy

  • The Billionaire Baby Mama Returns   Chapter 37.

    Elena’s POV.By the time I stepped out of the building, the noise of the day had settled into something distant, not gone and not resolved, but pushed far enough back that it no longer demanded immediate response. The tension still lingered beneath it, threaded through everything that remained unre

  • The Billionaire Baby Mama Returns   Chapter 35.

    Adrian’s POV.The estate was too quiet when I stepped inside, not empty, not abandoned, but contained in a way that pressed against the walls as if the entire structure had already adjusted to what I had done before I even crossed the threshold. Graves took my coat without a word, his expression a

  • The Billionaire Baby Mama Returns   Chapter 34.

    Elena’s POV. I found him in the corridor outside the service exit, phone still in his hand, his posture rigid in a way that had nothing to do with the suit and everything to do with whatever call he’d just ended. He hadn’t moved since the doors shut behind him. He was still standing in the afterm

  • The Billionaire Baby Mama Returns   Chapter 32.

    Dorian’s POV. The news cycle was doing exactly what I needed it to do. I stood in front of the wall-mounted screen in my office, one hand resting loosely in my pocket while the other held my phone, though I hadn’t looked at it in several minutes. There was no need. Every major financial network
