Zade’s POV

I sigh as I look over at Clover, and for a moment, everything else fades.

She’s glowing.

Not just smiling, but whole. The happiest I’ve ever seen her in all the time I’ve known her, and I’ve been with her long enough to recognize when her smile is real and when it’s armor. This right here? This is real.

I scan the table, both sides of her family sitting together. Her adoptive siblings, the people who raised her. Her biological parents. Her brother. All in one space, laughing, eating,

  • The Billionaires Blind Reckoning   Dinner if Weirdness

    Lucas’s POVAfter spending a little more time with my mother and Emily, we’re called down for dinner.As we head downstairs, I already know which dining area we’re going to. My parents have four different eating spaces, because, of course, they do. The kitchen area, the everyday family dining room, a formal dining room that seats ten, and then that oversized one that fits like fifty people.That last one is barely ever used.Yeah, they throw parties, but not like that.As we make our way down, I see my dad coming from the opposite direction.“Hey, Dad. What’s going on?”We shake hands, then he pulls me into a quick hug before giving Emily a side hug.“Nothing, son,” he says. “Just living how we live.”We step into the dining room, and right away, I notice Daisy isn’t there.Of course.The staff is already in position, waiting to serve, but no one looks surprised. They’re used to this.So we wait.Ten minutes.Then fifteen.Now thirty.I sigh and push my chair back. “Let me go get her.

  • The Billionaires Blind Reckoning   The Beginning of Her End

    Lucas’s POVAs I finish up everything at the Gerald residence, I give my sister a hug, and her estranged husband, because yeah, I’m calling him that. Not only is he strange, but she’s still moving forward with the separation… which is honestly kind of funny to me.But I don’t think that divorce is happening.They’ve got mediation in two days, not court, but close enough. We’ll see how that plays out. Last I heard, she already told her attorney, the pit bull, to pull the divorce off the table. And her lawyer doesn’t play, so… yeah. This should be interesting.As I step outside and head to my car, I scroll through my contacts. I don’t have Chris’s number, but I can reach his company.So I call.“Telanov Industries, how can I direct your call?”“Hi, yes, my name is Lucas Blackwood, and I was wondering if I could make an appointment with Mr. Chris Williams.”There’s a pause.“Are you thee Lucas Blackwood?”I smirk a little. “Yes, I am.”“Well… let me check. Tomorrow morning at 9 a.m., wou

    Clover’s POVAs I walk into the kitchen, of course Henry has already cooked.I don’t even hesitate. I grab a plate immediately because, let’s be real, what’s the best way to please a pregnant woman?Food.I walk over, wrap my arms around him, and give him a kiss on the cheek.“Thank you,” I mumble, already eyeing the food.He chuckles and hands me a plate without even asking.I giggle and head to the table, sitting down as Zade follows right behind me like he always does. Terrence, who should honestly be back at the office, walks in right after and gets handed a huge plate.I just shake my head.Of course.He sits down with us, already digging in, while Bennett stays up front. I can feel it, he’s off. Probably still upset.I glance at Zade as I take a bite.“So… we’re calling Lucas, right? About Brittany and Bradley’s son?”Zade nods, chewing. “Yeah. The name I remember is… Telanov. Not sure about the rest.”Henry pauses, raising a brow.“Telanov?” he repeats. “Like the Telanov Corpor

    Zade’s POVAs I look over at Mrs. Blackwood while she continues to break down, Mr. Blackwood isn’t doing any better. The room feels heavy as hell.I tighten my grip on Clover’s hand and glance down at her.“Are you okay?” I ask quietly.Tears are sliding down her face too, but she nods. “I’m as good as I can be, Zade. This is a mess.” She pauses, then looks up at me. “Do you think you can figure out who Brittany’s son is? Maybe we could talk to him?”I exhale slowly, rubbing my thumb over her knuckles.“I don’t know if I wanna open that can of worms,” I admit. “What if he doesn’t even know Brittany is his mother?”She tilts her head, thinking. “What if we don’t tell him? What if we just meet him… get a feel for him? See if there’s any resemblance to Daisy?”I pause, considering it this time.“You know what… maybe,” I say finally. “We’ll do a little digging first. If he’s around our age, or Lucas’s, there’s a good chance we’ve crossed paths. Hell, Lucas might already know him.”She nod

    Clover’s POV I look over at my mother. “Say what?”She’s crying, shaking, and my father is rubbing her back.She wipes her tears. “Rosa… Rosa was your nanny. Or… she became your nanny.”Her voice trembles, but she keeps going.“She was in her early twenties when we hired her. We had an opening for a maid at the time, this was when I was pregnant with you, Lucas. She did a really good job… really good.”She pauses, trying to steady herself.“As time went on, Lucas took a liking to her. This was after you were born of course, Lucas. She stayed on, and we talked all the time. She became… a friend.”I glance at Lucas briefly, then back at her.“Lucas already had a nanny, Talia,” my mom continues. “She had her hands full with him, he was three when I got pregnant again. When I had Breanna, Rosa stepped in more. She talked about helping her family, her sisters… said she was finally making decent money.”My mom exhales shakily.“She had a boyfriend too. She wanted to move out of her mother’

I don’t know what this is about.I sigh as I get out of the car and walk around to help Emily out.She looks up at me. “Are you okay?”“Yeah,” I say. “I can’t do nothing but be okay.”She shrugs. “Ain’t that the truth.”I take her hand, lock the car, and we walk inside.We go straight to the front desk. The woman behind the glass looks up at us.“Can I help you?”“Hi, my name is Lucas Blackwood. I’m here to meet with Detective Torres.”She nods. “Okay, go ahead and have a seat, please.”“Thank you.”Emily and I sit down, and not even a minute later, I see my father and mother walking in.I stand up immediately.“Hey, Dad.”We do a quick bro son hug, and then I hug my mom and kiss her on the cheek.
