The Billionaire Ex's Secret Baby Chapter 47: The Authority That Never Disappeared
Noah POV:The words remained on the screen, stark against the darkness of the archive: SECONDARY AUTHORITY: ACTIVE. I stared at them without blinking, barely aware of the tension that had settled across my shoulders. One hand rested against the edge of the desk while the other stayed close to Tracy's, neither of us willing to break the silence.We had finally uncovered something that connected my father, the Kingston Family Emergency Protocol, and the baby who had been taken from the hospital that night, yet the answer we needed most was still hidden, the identity of the person holding the secondary authority. I reached for the keyboard, ready to force my way through the restriction, but Tracy's quiet voice stopped me.“Wait.”My fingers froze above the keys, and I turned toward her. She was still studying the screen, tension visible around her eyes, but fear had not taken over. She was thinking.“We know the identity is restricted,” she said, keeping her voice low.“Trying to force o
The Billionaire Ex's Secret Baby Chapter 46: The Name Behind the Authorization
Noah POV:The timestamp remained frozen on the screen: 11:31 P.M. I couldn't tear my eyes away from it. Only five minutes separated that emergency authorization from the first known movement connected to Room 814. Five minutes before Claire entered. Five minutes before Victoria appeared. Five minutes before Tracy was pulled into a trap that had been prepared long before she understood what was happening.Someone had already decided that the baby needed protection, and the faded authorization number on the screen suddenly felt more important than anything else we had found. “Something is missing,” I said quietly. Tracy shifted closer.“What do you mean?” I pointed toward the record.“The hospital only received the instruction, this Kingston Family Emergency Protocol had to come from somewhere else.”I opened the old Kingston emergency archive, entering the authorization number first. The system rejected it. I tried the emergency protocol code with the date, and this time the screen cha
The Billionaire Ex's Secret Baby Chapter 45: The Parents Were the Danger
Noah POV: The words on the old transfer form refused to leave my mind: DO NOT RELEASE THE CHILD TO EITHER PARENT. I read them several times, each reading making the sentence feel heavier. Tracy stood beside me, staring at the same document while the quiet hum of the air conditioner filled the room. Only minutes earlier, we had thought we were finally getting closer to the truth. Now, we had another mystery. Why would anyone protect a baby from both parents?The instruction did not accuse either of us of being dangerous, nor did it say we had abandoned the child. It simply ordered the hospital not to release the baby to either parent. Tracy finally pointed out that the wording sounded temporary.There was no permanent custody order or declaration that either parent had lost their rights. It was only a restriction, something meant to remain in place until another authorization was given or whatever danger existed had passed. I leaned against the desk, studying the paper.“Then what wer
The Billionaire Ex's Secret Baby Chapter 44: The Child Was Protected
Noah POV:MOTHER: UNKNOWN.I stared at the words on the screen, unable to move for several seconds. The room around me seemed to fade until there was nothing left but those two words and the private medical record open in front of us. The false name, the missing father, the protected mother, and the confidential payment had all led us here, yet the most important part of the record was still blank. Tracy stood beside me, her fingers still wrapped around mine, and I could feel the tension in them. But unlike earlier, I no longer felt the same desperate need to uncover the next clue.Something about this record bothered me, and it wasn't simply because the mother's name was missing. It was everything surrounding that missing name. I scrolled back through the information and read the restrictions again: NO OUTSIDE CONTACT. NO FAMILY VISITATION WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION. PERMANENT CONFIDENTIALITY.Those rules were far too serious for an ordinary private birth. Someone had gone to great lengths
The Billionaire Ex's Secret Baby Chapter 43: The Private Ward
Noah POV:The notification stayed on the screen, bright and impossible to ignore. PRIVATE ACCOUNT ACCESS REQUESTED. I stared at it for several seconds without moving. Someone was trying to open the exact file we had just discovered, and the timing was far too perfect to be an accident. I turned toward Daniel, but he was already reaching for the keyboard.“Trace it.”His fingers moved quickly as he followed the access request.Tracy remained beside me, her hand still locked around mine, and I could feel the fear and tension in her grip. I was afraid too, but neither of us could stop now. The private medical account had existed for years, the baby's identification number was connected to it, and someone still had access to the file. Daniel broke through the first security layer, then the second. A warning filled the screen: RESTRICTED KINGSTON MEDICAL TRUST. My jaw tightened.The Kingston name had always been powerful enough to open doors, but tonight it was opening doors that had been
The Billionaire Ex's Secret Baby Chapter 42: The Other Baby
Noah POV:The second message was still open on my phone. You still don't know why the baby was there. I stared at those words until the room seemed to shrink around me. On the computer, Victor's scarred hand remained frozen in the Room 814 footage, the same hand that had been there that night, the same man who had helped tear Tracy's life apart. Now Victor was pointing us toward the one part of the story that still made no sense. The baby. I looked at Tracy she was holding my phone, her eyes fixed on the message.Fear was written across her face, but she refused to look away. Neither could I. We had spent so long chasing the frame-up that the strange baby record had almost become just another piece of evidence. But Victor knew we had found the scarred hand. He knew we were examining the original recording. And he had deliberately mentioned the baby. That meant the baby mattered. Maybe more than we had ever understood. I turned toward the keyboard.“Bring up the hospital record.”Danie
