"Lorenzo..." Lorrie’s voice fractured, barely louder than a breath. "I can't feel the baby."

Lorenzo dropped to his knees beside her, his face draining of all warmth as he pressed his palm against her abdomen. "Don't panic. Look at me, Lorrie. Breathe."

"There's nothing," she sobbed, tearing at her clothes over her stomach. "There's no pulse, Lorenzo! Something is wrong!"

Rafael shoved his way through the dust, kneeling beside them. He placed both hands over Lorrie’s stomach and closed his eyes

  • The Bride He Refused to Lose    The Husband Who Was Sent to Kill Their Baby

    Lorrie stood rooted to the spot, unable to draw air into her lungs. The words echoed through the endless cosmic expanse of the First Realm like a death knell, shattering what little sanity she had left.«I am the one who was sent to kill it.»Lorenzo stood mere feet away from her. Yet, looking into his face brought no comfort—only a suffocating, paralyzing terror. His eyes were void of their familiar, fiercely protective warmth, completely consumed by an abyssal, light-swallowing black. His jaw was set, his skin deathly pale, and his expression entirely hollow of humanity."Who are you?" Lorrie whispered, her voice trembling violently against the howling cosmic wind.The entity wearing her husband's face let a slow, cruel smile curl his lips. "You already know, Lorrie. You felt it the very night you bound your blood to his.""No," she gasped, taking a shaky step back, pulling Leo and Aria closer behind her skirts. "You're lying!""Am I?" The creature raised Lorenzo's hand, pointing a

    "Lorenzo..." Lorrie’s voice fractured, barely louder than a breath. "I can't feel the baby."Lorenzo dropped to his knees beside her, his face draining of all warmth as he pressed his palm against her abdomen. "Don't panic. Look at me, Lorrie. Breathe.""There's nothing," she sobbed, tearing at her clothes over her stomach. "There's no pulse, Lorenzo! Something is wrong!"Rafael shoved his way through the dust, kneeling beside them. He placed both hands over Lorrie’s stomach and closed his eyes, channeling his diagnostic energy. Seconds dragged into agonising silence. When Rafael opened his eyes, his expression was hollowed out by absolute dread."Tell me!" Lorrie screamed."The heartbeat is gone," Rafael whispered. "I can't detect a soul signal."Lorrie’s world tilted on its axis. She crumpled into Lorenzo’s chest, clutching her belly with blood-soaked fingers. "No! Please... baby, please move..."Lorenzo locked eyes with Lucian, his expression turning terrifyingly cold. He strode fo

  • The Bride He Refused to Lose    The Choice That Will Break Her Heart

    Lorrie’s blood ran colder than the ancient stone beneath her boots.At the crest of the crumbling staircase, Viktor stood like a specter of death, his arm locked around nine-year-old Leo. The jagged edge of an obsidian blade was pressed so firmly against her son's neck that a thin bead of crimson was already trickling down his collarbone."Let him go," Lorrie whispered. Her voice was barely audible over the roaring fires of the subterranean braziers, yet it carried a lethal edge.Viktor’s face twisted into a sickening smile. "Which one?"Lorrie stared at him, her chest heaving. "What?""You have two people you love in this room," Viktor sneered, his dark eyes flicking from the terrified child in his grip to the towering man beside her. "Only one leaves this chamber alive."Lorenzo’s silver eyes flared with an ethereal, blinding light. The air around him distorted from sheer thermal pressure as he took a single, heavy step forward."Touch my son, and I will tear you apart atom by atom.

  • The Bride He Refused to Lose    The Man Beneath the Mansion

    "LORRIE!"Lorenzo's scream followed her into the abyss, fading into a suffocating, soundless dark.She fell—until a cold, unyielding grip snapped around her wrist."Lorenzo?" she gasped, reaching out blindly into the void."No," a deep, unfamiliar voice echoed. "Not him."The stranger pulled her onto a stone platform as ancient braziers flared to life, illuminating a subterranean vault of carved gold and black marble. Before her stood a man in his early thirties—broad-shouldered, dark-haired, with eyes burning the exact same icy silver as Leo's when his Guardian power woke."My name is Cassian," he said softly. "Cassian Dimitri."Lorrie backed away, her hand instinctively shielding her stomach. "Where is my husband?""Lorenzo doesn't know the full truth," Cassian warned, his voice grave and urgent. "Your marriage was never a coincidence, Lorrie. Your grandfather arranged it. Lorenzo's blood was chosen because it was the only lineage capable of binding the Guardian Queen. But listen to

  • The Bride He Refused to Lose    The Secret Behind Lorenzo's Blood

    Lorrie stared down at Amara's lifeless body.She couldn't hear the deafening chaos around her—not the shouting, not the heavy tactical footsteps, not even Lorenzo screaming her name.All she could hear was Amara's dying whisper: "Don't trust Lorenzo."She slowly lifted her head. Lorenzo stood several feet away, his face drained of color, his holster empty."Lorrie," he breathed, taking a step toward her. "Look at me.""What happened to your gun?" her voice trembled, cold and distant."I don't know," Lorenzo said, holding up his hands. "I swear to you, I don't know.""You were standing closest to her!""You think I killed her?!" Lorenzo's eyes shattered with grief. "I'm your husband!""I want to believe you," she sobbed, backing away. "But everyone keeps keeping secrets!"Leo suddenly stepped between them, his Guardian mark flaring with blinding light. "Stop! Dad didn't do it!"Lorrie gasped. "Leo?""I saw it," Leo whispered, pressing his hands against his temples. "I saw a man holding

  • The Bride He Refused to Lose    The Blood on Her Hands

    "Massimo!"Lorrie's scream filled the chamber. She dropped to her knees beside him.Blood covered his chest. His eyes were open, but barely."Someone help me!"Lorenzo rushed over. "Move.""No!" Lorrie pressed both hands against the wound. "He's bleeding!""I know.""Then do something!"Lorenzo looked at Massimo's face. "Father."Massimo tried to speak, but only a weak breath escaped. Lorenzo looked at Rafael. "Can you save him?"Rafael knelt beside Massimo. "I'll try.""Don't try." Lorenzo's voice became cold. "Save him."Rafael nodded. "Get me medical supplies."Adrian immediately ran. Lorrie refused to move, her hands covered in blood. "Massimo..."His fingers moved, grabbing her wrist weakly. "Lorrie...""I'm here."His eyes searched for hers. "Protect..." He coughed up blood. "Protect... Lorenzo."Lorrie shook her head. "You don't have to worry about him."Massimo looked at his son. "Not... from Alexander."Lorenzo froze. "What?"Massimo's eyes filled with pure terror. "From... m
