The Billionaire Ex's Secret Baby CHAPTER 68: The Keepsake Box
Noah POVI stared at the crayon drawing until the lines blurred slightly in front of my eyes, Samuel's small navy box with its clumsy gold crest refusing to resolve into anything other than what it so clearly was. Every Kingston child received one at birth, handcrafted, engraved, placed into a nursery before the child's first breath had even fully settled, a tradition so old and so private that I had never once considered it might exist beyond the narrow circle of people the family actually claimed.If the boy in Samuel's dream had one, he hadn't simply been born with Kingston blood running quietly, invisibly through his veins. Someone had formally acknowledged him. Someone had given him a place in the family, even while keeping his entire existence hidden from the rest of us."Noah." Tracy's hand found my arm, steadying me, and I realized I'd gone completely still, the drawing trembling faintly in my grip. "Breathe."I forced myself to set the paper down carefully, aware of Samuel wa
The Billionaire Ex's Secret Baby CHAPTER 67: A Dream Too Precise
Tracy POVI woke to the sound of nothing at all, which was somehow what pulled me out of sleep, the absence of Noah's weight beside me registering before I was even fully conscious. I found him a moment later framed in the doorway, perfectly still, Samuel's small shape pressed against his leg, and something in the rigid line of his shoulders sent me upright instantly, every nerve in my body snapping awake."Noah?" My voice came out rougher than I intended, and he glanced back at me, something careful and controlled settling over his expression before he answered."Just a dream," he said softly, though the look he gave me over Samuel's head told me there was more to it than that simple reassurance suggested. "Come on, buddy. Let's get you back to bed."I slipped out from under the covers and followed them down the hall, watching as Noah knelt beside Samuel's small bed and tucked the blankets carefully around him, murmuring something low and soothing I couldn't quite make out. I sat on
The Billionaire Ex's Secret Baby CHAPTER 66: Two of the Same Day
Neither of us said the word out loud. It hung there in the quiet living room anyway, unspoken but unmistakable, the kind of thought too enormous to voice before midnight on a day that had already asked so much of both of us.Daniel's voice crackled once more through the speaker, promising to dig further in the morning, and then the line went quiet, leaving Tracy and me alone with the weight of two matching birth records glowing on the screen between us.I closed the laptop gently, as though the act itself might soften what we'd just learned, and reached for Tracy's hand instead. She let me take it, her fingers cold despite the warmth of the apartment, her eyes distant in a way that told me her mind had already wandered somewhere I wasn't sure either of us was ready to follow yet."You should sleep," I said quietly. "We can't do anything more tonight.""I know." She didn't move, though, her gaze still fixed somewhere past the dark window, past the city lights glittering indifferent and
The Billionaire Ex's Secret Baby CHAPTER 65: The Name on the Wall
I stood frozen with the drawing in my hands, staring at the unfamiliar name scrawled beneath the second small figure, and felt something strange twist beneath my ribs, not only fear, though there was plenty of that too, but a sudden, aching grief for a child I had never met and didn't even know was real.Whoever this little one was, someone had loved them enough to help them draw a rainbow, enough to keep this drawing pinned carefully to a wall for who knew how long. The tenderness of it made the secrecy surrounding it feel so much crueler.Noah set the drawing gently on the small bed and turned toward the dresser against the far wall, and I followed, my heart still hammering as he eased open the top drawer. Inside, neatly folded, were real clothes, small shirts, soft pajamas, a tiny pair of shoes tucked beside them, everything sized for a child roughly Samuel's age. This wasn't a single visit, a single overnight stay hastily arranged. Someone had been raising a child here, quietly, p
The Billionaire Ex's Secret Baby CHAPTER 64: A Door Left Open
Noah POV:I circled the side of the house while Tracy kept her eyes on the dark window above us, and found what I was looking for near the back, a narrow kitchen door, unlocked, its hinges swinging soundlessly inward the moment I tested it. Too soundless.Someone had oiled those hinges recently, deliberately, the kind of quiet maintenance that belonged to a house still very much in use rather than one left to rot for five years.Tracy appeared at my shoulder a moment later, and I didn't need to tell her what I'd found. She simply slipped her hand into mine, and together we stepped through the open door into the dark kitchen beyond.The air inside smelled faintly of extinguished candle smoke and something else underneath it, something warmer and more domestic than either of us had expected. My eyes adjusted slowly to the gloom, and what I saw unsettled me more than any obvious sign of danger could have.A single teacup sat upside down on a dish towel beside the sink, clean and dry, as
The Billionaire Ex's Secret Baby CHAPTER 63: The Quiet House
Tracy's POVI watched the color drain slowly from Noah's face as Daniel's voice continued through the phone, and before he could even lower it from his ear, I was already reaching for my shoes. There was no need to ask where we were going.I simply moved, gathering my keys, my mind already three steps ahead of my body, and when Noah turned to look at me, some old instinct flickered across his features, that familiar impulse to shield me from whatever waited at the end of this drive, to decide for both of us that safety meant staying behind.He caught himself before the thought could fully form, and something in his expression softened instead, a quiet acknowledgment of everything we'd rebuilt these past weeks."Together," he said, and the single word settled warm in my chest even amid the fear tightening around it.We couldn't simply leave, though, not with Samuel still sleeping down the hall, blissfully unaware that his grandmother had just resurfaced at a house neither of us had kno
