Chapter 306

Ethan placed the white pill on his tongue, brought the glass of water to his lips, and swallowed heavily.

Chloe’s shoulders instantly dropped in relief. The tight, anxious pinch around her eyes smoothed out. "Good boy," she murmured, a sickeningly sweet smile stretching across her glossy lips. "You need your rest, darling. Should I come up to your room and help you"

"No," Ethan cut her off, his tone sharp enough to draw blood. He handed her the empty glass. "I have a headache that i

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Boy Who Knew Too Much

    Chapter 314The rain had finally stopped by the time Zara’s cab pulled up to City General.She bypassed the main lobby, using her VIP badge to access the private elevator to the fourth-floor pediatric ICU. The moment the doors opened, she saw two of Marcus’s men in plain black suits standing at either end of the hallway, their eyes scanning every doctor and nurse who passed.Ghost Protocol was active. Ethan was keeping his promise to protect them.Zara took a deep breath, smoothing down her wrinkled suit, and pushed open the door to Leo’s room.Leo was sitting up slightly, propped against a mound of white pillows. He looked tiny, but the color was fully back in his cheeks. He was clutching an iPad, rapidly tapping the screen with his small fingers. Maria, the loyal nanny, stood by the window, but she immediately stepped out when Zara entered."Mommy!" Leo dropped the iPad, a bright, genuine smile lighting up his face.Zara felt a rush of absolute devotion. She rushed to the bed, caref

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The British Ultimatum

    Chapter 313Zara’s heart leaped into her throat. She stumbled back a step, her hand instinctively flying to her chest.Julian stepped forward, letting the heavy metal fire door swing shut behind him, sealing them in the dim, concrete stairwell. He looked immaculate in his tailored navy suit, but his jaw was clenched tight, and his normally charming blue eyes were piercing."Julian," Zara forced her voice to remain steady, slipping her CEO mask firmly into place. "You shouldn't be here. I told you to cover the Apex Microchips acquisition.""I don't take orders when my partner goes rogue," Julian countered, closing the distance between them. "You screamed at me in your office like I was the enemy. You cradled Ethan Cole’s head in your lap as if he were a dying lover. And then, you bribe an ambulance driver to divert from a Level 1 Trauma Center to come to a private, off-the-books clinic? Why, Zara?""It’s corporate strategy," Zara lied smoothly, her mind working in overdrive. "If Ethan

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Devil’s Charade

    Chapter 312The air in the VIP suite turned instantly toxic with tension."They know I left your office in an ambulance," Ethan said, his mind racing past the sluggishness of the beta-blockers. "If they trace the route to St. Jude’s, they’ll ask why I was brought to a private wing instead of City General.""And if they demand a blood panel, they’ll see you're in chemical withdrawal," Zara finished, her heart pounding. "Ethan, you have to get out of this bed."Dr. Harrison rushed into the room, having seen the security alert on his pager. "Ethan, you can't move. Your blood pressure is still too low. If you stand up, you could pass out again.""I don't have a choice, Doc," Ethan gritted his teeth. With a violent yank, he pulled the IV needle out of his arm, tossing the line aside. He swung his legs over the edge of the bed. The room instantly spun, black spots dancing in his vision, but he gripped the edge of the mattress, forcing his body to obey his iron will."Here," Zara said, immed

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    Five Stolen Years

    Chapter 311The words my love hung in the dim hospital room, heavy enough to crush the breath right out of Zara’s lungs.She stared at the man in the hospital bed. The ruthless, untouchable billionaire who had spent the last five months trying to crush her company was gone. In his place was the man who had kissed her in the rain, the man who had promised her forever in a field of French lavender.Zara’s lower lip trembled. She tried to pull her hand away, suddenly overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the grief that stood between them. But Ethan wouldn't let go. Even weakened and pumped full of beta-blockers, his grip was desperately tight."Don't," he rasped, his eyes glassy with unshed tears. "Please, Zara. Don't pull away. I know I don't deserve to touch you, but please.""You don't get to do this," Zara whispered, her voice cracking as the tears finally spilled over, trailing hot and fast down her cheeks. "You don't get to wake up and just... be him again. I mourned you, Ethan. I

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Secret Wing

    Chapter 310The back doors of the ambulance swung open before they even fully parked at the St. Jude’s loading bay.Dr. Harrison was already waiting with a crash cart and a team of four nurses who looked highly discreet and entirely terrified. They didn't ask questions. They grabbed the stretcher and sprinted down a private, unmarked corridor, bypassing the main emergency room entirely.Zara jogged to keep up, her heels clicking rapidly on the linoleum.They pushed Ethan into a massive, heavily secured VIP suite at the end of the hall. The glass doors slid shut, but before Zara could follow them inside, Dr. Harrison put a hand on her chest, stopping her."I need to stabilize him, Zara. His heart rate is skyrocketing, and the withdrawal is causing micro-seizures in his brain," Harrison said quickly. "You need to stay out here. I promise I will tell you everything when he is safe.""Don't you dare lock me out," Zara warned, her eyes blazing."I am saving his life. Let me work," Harrison

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Medical Ghost

    Chapter 309The wail of the ambulance sirens cut through the busy downtown Seattle traffic.Zara sat in the cramped back of the paramedic unit, entirely ignoring the rain soaking through her white power suit from the short dash outside. She hadn't let Julian come with her. She had ordered him back to the office to cover the Apex Microchips acquisition.She stared at Ethan as the EMTs furiously hooked him up to IVs and heart monitors."His blood pressure is critically low, and his core temperature is 103 degrees," the lead paramedic yelled over the siren, shining a penlight into Ethan’s unresponsive eyes. "Is he on any narcotics? Any medical history we should know about?""He gave a liter of blood yesterday," Zara said quickly, her hands gripping the edge of the metal bench. "He has the AB-negative Rh-null mutation."The paramedic looked up, alarmed. "A full liter? Yesterday? Why the hell was he walking around?""I don't know," Zara lied, guilt gnawing at her insides. He was walking ar
