Noah POV

I found Tracy exactly where I'd left her, cross-legged on the living room floor surrounded by scattered photographs, old albums spread open around her like fallen leaves. But the moment I saw her face, I knew something had shifted in the ten minutes I'd been away. She held a single picture out to me without a word, her hand trembling slightly, and I crossed the room in three quick strides and took it from her, my own breath catching the instant I understood what I was looking at.

  • The Billionaire Ex's Secret Baby   CHAPTER 70: Inside the Building

    Noah POVI sat with the phone still warm against my ear long after Daniel had finished speaking, the implication settling slow and cold through every part of me. Someone with legitimate access to Kingston Holdings, a badge, a login, a physical presence inside my own company, had used my father's old credential to unlock a hidden medical network at the exact hour Tracy and I sat two floors above, listening to Richard Hale's voice confess to destroying our lives.Not a stranger lurking at the edges of the conspiracy. Someone close enough to walk those same halls, ride that same elevator, pass security that knew their face well enough not to ask questions."Pull the badge logs," I told Daniel, my voice steadier than I felt. "Everyone on that floor, that hour. Quietly. No alerts, no flags that someone's looking.""On it," Daniel said. "But Noah, it'll take until morning to cross-reference it properly without tipping anyone off that we're searching."I agreed, though every instinct in me w

  • The Billionaire Ex's Secret Baby   CHAPTER 69: Who Else Knows the Door

    Tracy POVI crossed the room and looked over Noah's shoulder at the screen, and the moment I saw the timestamp glowing there, I felt the floor tilt slightly beneath me. Two days. Someone had used his father's old credential to unlock that same hidden medical network only two days ago, which meant whoever had been quietly maintaining the life of a hidden Kingston child also had access to this exact system, this exact door into records that were supposed to have been buried for good."That's not a coincidence," I said quietly, and Noah's jaw tightened in silent agreement.For a long moment, neither of us spoke, both staring at the small, damning line of text as though it might rearrange itself into something less frightening if we looked at it long enough. But it didn't change, and eventually Noah closed the laptop with a decisive click, the sound startling in the quiet office."Daniel can trace it overnight," he said, turning to me. "There's nothing more either of us can do about it ri

  • 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
