Lewis didn’t tell her immediately.

He waited until Ethan was asleep.

Until the house was quiet.

Until the weight of the day settled into something almost peaceful.

Then he handed her his phone.

She read the notification once.

Then again.

Trust Council Nomination Request.

Candidate: Elizabeth Anderson.

Region: North America.

Her expression didn’t change.

But he saw the shift.

“They submitted my name?” she asked calmly.

“Yes.”

“Who?”

“The provisional oversight committee. Likely influenced by Sele

  • The Billionaire’s Secret Baby: With His Ex-Wife   Chapter 131: What Waits on the Surface

    The submarine rose slowly, the pressure around them easing as they moved closer to the surface. The faint light from above grew stronger, filtering through the small viewing panel near the front. It was a quiet kind of change, but everyone felt it. After everything they had been through, even something as simple as light felt different.Victor kept his hands steady on the controls, guiding the vessel upward with careful precision. Emma stood beside him now, no longer checking data constantly, just watching the readings stabilize. Daniel had moved closer to the center of the room, stretching out the stiffness in his shoulders, while Sophia remained near the hatch, already preparing for what came next.Lewis didn’t move.He stayed beside Elizabeth, his attention still on her, though not as openly as before. It was more controlled now, less obvious, but still there. She could feel it without needing to look.The submarine gave a soft jolt as it broke the surface.A low sound followed, th

  • The Billionaire’s Secret Baby: With His Ex-Wife   Chapter 130: The Space Between What Was and What Could Be

    The submarine moved steadily through the dark water, leaving behind the wreckage of the warship and everything that had almost ended with it. Inside, the atmosphere had shifted. The urgency was gone, but the weight of what had happened remained. It settled quietly over everyone, not loud or chaotic, but present in every thought, every glance, every silence that lasted a little too long. Elizabeth had not realized how exhausted she truly was until her body finally stopped running on instinct. Now that there was no immediate danger, the fatigue came all at once. Her muscles felt heavy, her breathing slower, and her thoughts less sharp than before. She kept her eyes closed for a while, letting the steady hum of the submarine fill the quiet around her. Lewis stayed beside her. He didn’t speak. He didn’t move much either. But he was there, close enough that she could feel it without looking. It wasn’t the kind of presence that demanded attention. It was quieter than that. Constant. Acr

  • The Billionaire’s Secret Baby: With His Ex-Wife   Chapter 129: What Comes After Survival

    The submarine hatch closed with a heavy sound behind them, sealing out the cold wind and restless sea. Inside, the air felt warmer, controlled, almost too quiet after everything they had just gone through. For a moment, no one spoke. They were all catching their breath in different ways. Daniel leaned back against the wall, running a hand through his wet hair. “I’m not doing that again anytime soon.” Emma gave a weak laugh as she sat down. “You say that every time.” Victor was already moving toward the control panel, checking systems out of habit. “We’re stable. Minimal damage. We got lucky.” Sophia stood near the entrance, still alert, her eyes moving across the room before finally settling. “We’re clear… for now.” Lewis didn’t move far from where he stood. His attention was on Elizabeth. She had taken a seat near the side, her shoulders slightly lowered now that the tension had eased. But the exhaustion was more visible here, without the urgency pushing her forward. He wal

  • The Billionaire’s Secret Baby: With His Ex-Wife   Chapter 128: The Moment Between Waves

    The water roared through the broken hull like a living force. It surged in and out of the opening, pulling everything with it. Pieces of metal scraped along the edges, dragged by the current. The pressure alone made it hard to stand. Daniel went first. He took one look at the opening, then jumped without hesitation, disappearing into the rushing water. Sophia followed immediately after him, her movement clean and controlled. Victor and Emma exchanged a quick glance, then went together, vanishing into the dark blue beyond the ship. That left Lewis and Elizabeth. The water was rising faster now, pushing against their legs, their waists, threatening to take them before they were ready. Lewis tightened his grip on her hand. “When we jump, stay close to me. Don’t fight the current too hard. Let it carry you out, then we swim up.” Elizabeth nodded, her fingers tightening around his. “I understand.” Another violent shake ran through the ship, stronger than anything before. The walls

  • The Billionaire’s Secret Baby: With His Ex-Wife   Chapter 127: No More Distance

    The narrow maintenance passage was barely wide enough for one person. The metal walls pressed close on both sides, and the air felt heavy and warm, carrying the distant smell of smoke and saltwater. The ship groaned around them, each sound reminding them that time was running out.Sophia led the way, moving quickly but carefully. Daniel followed behind her, quieter now, more focused. Victor and Emma came next, both still checking their devices even as they moved. At the back, Lewis stayed close to Elizabeth, not touching her, but never more than a step away.The passage sloped slightly upward, then turned sharply. The lighting flickered, then dimmed again, forcing them to rely on instinct more than sight. A sudden tremor ran through the ship, stronger than before, and the entire passage shook.Elizabeth lost her balance for a second.Lewis caught her immediately.His hand closed around her arm, firm and steady. “Careful.”“I’m fine,” she said, but her voice was softer now.He didn’t l

  • The Billionaire’s Secret Baby: With His Ex-Wife   Chapter 126: After the Fall

    For a single, fragile second, the world seemed to stop. The gunfire faded. The alarms died. Even the constant hum of the warship went quiet, as if the vessel itself had finally given up. On the central screen, the last line of code disappeared. The Whitmore Protocol was no longer running. Victor leaned back from the console, breathing hard. “It’s done.” Emma stared at the blank display, almost in disbelief. “It’s really… over?” “No,” Sophia said, her voice steady. “Not yet.” The ship answered her. A deep, violent tremor shook the entire command deck. This time it wasn’t just damage it was collapse. The floor shifted sharply beneath them. Metal screamed. Somewhere deep inside the ship, something massive broke apart. Daniel looked up. “Yeah… definitely not over.” Lewis didn’t waste a second. “We move. Now.” The remaining guards were already falling back, their formation broken by the system shutdown and the instability of the ship. Without centralized control, their coo
