Chapter 38

The rain had finally stopped by midnight, leaving a heavy, oppressive silence over the underground bunker.

Ethan lay on a makeshift hospital bed in the recovery corner.

He was shirtless, his right shoulder heavily bandaged, an IV line snaking into his left arm, pumping him full of O-negative blood and fluids.

Zara sat in a plastic chair beside his bed. She had washed the blood from her hands and changed into a clean, oversized scrub top Doc had provided.

Across the room, Leo was asle

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The British Pawn

    Chapter 317Zara stood in her sprawling, minimalist penthouse overlooking the Seattle skyline, staring at her encrypted phone.It was 11:00 PM. Leo was safely asleep in the next room, guarded by Maria and two of Marcus’s best men, whom Zara had seamlessly integrated into her own security detail under the guise of new hires.The screen of her phone glowed with a single message from an untraceable number.[Victor found the decoy contracts. Cover is intact. But he invited Mercer to the Manor for dinner tomorrow night. It’s a trap to isolate you. Do not let him go. - E]Zara read the text three times.Her chest tightened. Ethan was navigating a minefield blindfolded, taking hits from his own family just to keep the crosshairs off her and Leo. The sheer, terrifying reality of their situation was settling into her bones. They were playing a high-stakes game of chess, and one wrong move meant death.But Julian Mercer was proving to be the wildest, most unpredictable piece on the board.He kn

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Decoy in the Safe

    Chapter 316The walk from the grand foyer to the formal dining room of the Cole Manor felt like a march to the gallows.Ethan’s mind raced, tearing through his eidetic memory a faculty that was slowly, painfully returning to its full capacity now that the neuro-suppressants were out of his system. Did I leave the DNA test in the safe?No. He had burned the physical copy of the St. Jude's paternity results in the fireplace of his penthouse hours before his hospital collapse. The only existing digital copy was on an encrypted offshore server that even Cole Tech’s most elite hackers couldn’t trace.So what the hell had Victor found?Ethan pushed open the heavy mahogany double doors. The dining room was cavernous, lit by a massive crystal chandelier that cast fractured light over the long, polished oak table.Victor sat at the head of the table, nursing a glass of dark rum. In front of him lay a thick, leather-bound dossier. The lock on Ethan’s private safe a state-of-the-art biometric mo

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Viper in the Den

    Chapter 315Chloe Sterling stood in the lobby of City General’s pediatric wing, tapping her red-bottomed heel furiously against the linoleum tile.She wore a blindingly bright yellow Chanel trench coat and oversized sunglasses, completely ignoring the "No Cell Phones" signs as she barked at the terrified triage nurse."I don't care about your privacy policies!" Chloe shrilled, slamming her designer handbag onto the counter. "My fiancé, Ethan Cole, donated a liter of his very precious blood to a charity case here yesterday. I am the head of the Cole Philanthropy Board, and I demand to see the boy to arrange a photo-op! Do you know who I am?"Zara stood at the end of the hallway, obscured by the shadows, watching her stepsister perform.She doesn't know, Zara realized, her racing heart slowing slightly. She doesn't know Leo is Ethan's son. She’s just trying to exploit the situation for PR, and to snoop on why Ethan was here."Ms. Sterling," the triage nurse stammered. "The VIP wing is l

  • 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

    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

    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
