ISABELLA’S POV

The helicopter blades were already spinning when we arrived.

I barely registered getting out of the car. Barely registered Ethan guiding me forward.

Everything felt distant. Muffled. Like I was watching myself from outside my body.

The sound of the blades. The wind whipping my hair. The lights of the city reflecting off the helicopter's metal surface.

All of it registered somewhere in my mind, but none of it mattered.

The noise was loud. The wind pushed against my dress, my hair,

    ISABELLA’S POV My phone rang at midnight.Lucia.I answered. "Hello?""Isa. How is he?""Stable. For now. Surgery is tomorrow morning.""I'm booking a flight. I'll be there by morning.""No.""What do you mean no? Your son is having surgery. You need support.""I need you in New York. Holding things together. Making sure Samuel doesn't try anything while I'm gone.""Samuel can wait. Brahms can't.""Lucia, please. I need to know things are secure at home. That ISMARA is protected. That the board isn't making decisions without me.""They won't. I've got it handled.""Then handle it from there. Don't come here."Silence."Isa. You don't have to do this alone.""I'm not alone. Abby is here. And so is Ethan""Ethan? Does that mean…?”“Yes,” I answered with a nod although Lucia couldn't see me. “And he's there with you? The man who just found out he has a son. The man you've been hiding Brahms from for five years. That Ethan?""Yes.""And you trust him?""No. But he's Brahms's father. He'

    ETHAN’S POVThe nurse found us just outside the ICU.“Monsieur Dexter. Ms. Moretti. We need you both in the consultation room.”Her tone was calm, practiced, but there was urgency underneath it.I stood immediately. Isabella didn't hesitate before following.We walked side by side down the corridor in silence.The consultation room was small. A stack of documents already laid out neatly.Consent forms.The nurse gestured for us to sit.“These are the authorization forms for the bone marrow harvest and transplant,” she said. “We need signatures from both of you before we proceed.”I sat. Isabella lowered herself into the chair beside me, slower, more deliberate.A pen was placed in front of me.“You will be the donor,” the nurse said. “This confirms your consent.”I signed.She turned to Isabella.“And you are consenting for your son to receive the transplant.”Your son.Not hers alone anymore.Isabella picked up the pen, her fingers trembled slightly but she signed anyway.The nurse

  • The CEO’s Contract Bride   Chapter 73

    ISABELLA’S POVI had been careful for six years.Careful with my words. My reactions. The space I occupied in rooms where people watched too closely and asked questions I couldn’t afford to answer.Six years of making myself smaller.Six years of silence.All of it for Brahms.For the life I had built around him. A life that didn’t include Ethan Dexter.But that version of my life was over now.Ethan sat beside me in the hospital corridor, rigid with anger, convinced he was the one wronged.“You don’t get to make decisions for him alone anymore,” he said.I didn’t respond. I just looked through the glass at Brahms. He was still. His small chest rising and falling behind the glass. All of this, the lying, the silence, the six years of careful architecture had been for him. Not for me. It was never for me.Ethan wouldn't see it that way. I already knew that. I exhaled slowly.“You should have told me,” Ethan said again.The same accusation. Repeated like it was the only truth that mat

    ETHAN'S POVI stood alone in the hospital bathroom, staring at my reflection.I looked terrible. Exhausted. Angry. Lost.The folder sat on the counter beside the sink. The genetic report.I had requested it from the doctor after Isabella and I had our confrontation.I read it four times. Every word. Every number. Every clinical detail.Blood type: AB negative. Match confirmed.HLA markers: Six out of six match. Extremely rare.Genetic relationship: Probability of paternity: 99.99 percent.The numbers didn't lie. Couldn't lie.Brahms was my son.I had a five-year-old son.A child I'd never met. Never even knew existed.And the woman who'd kept him from me was right outside this door.I was angry. Completely, fully angry.What I felt was clean and certain. I had been lied to. Kept from my own child for five years. Nothing else complicated that.She had stood in front of me and called herself a victim. Said she'd had every right to keep Brahms away from me.As if her judgment about what

    ISABELLA’S POVThe doctor's words were still echoing in the corridor.Between a parent and child.I stood frozen as Ethan turned to me. His face had gone pale. Completely drained of color."Isabella." His voice was quiet. Too quiet. "Is Brahms my son?"I couldn't speak. My throat had closed completely."Answer me." Louder now. "Is he mine?"The walls felt like they were closing in.The hospital continued functioning around our private catastrophe."Yes," I finally said.The word came out barely audible. But Ethan heard it.His expression changed. Shock. Disbelief. Then something darker."How long have you known?""Since I found out I was pregnant. Six weeks after—" My voice was shaking now."He was conceived that night. I found out six weeks later. After you'd already fired me. After I'd already been disowned. After I'd already fled to Paris.""Six weeks." He repeated it like he was trying to make sense of a foreign language. I could see it in his eyes. The calculation. The realizatio

  • The CEO’s Contract Bride   Chapter 70

    ISABELLA’S POVI couldn't feel my hands anymore.They were cold. Numb. Useless.I tried to rub them together. Generate warmth. Feeling. But it didn't help.Everything felt distant. Disconnected. Like I was watching myself from outside my body.This was shock. I knew that. Recognized it clinically.But knowing didn't make it stop.I sat outside the ICU room, staring through the glass.Watching him. Watching every small movement. Every machine. Every number.Brahms. My baby. My whole world.I pressed my hand against my mouth, trying to hold back another wave of tears.It didn't work. Nothing was working.Footsteps approached.I didn't need to look to know it was Ethan.I felt it. The shift in the air. The weight of his presence.He stopped a few steps away. Silent. Waiting.Three hours since they'd taken his blood. Three hours of sitting in this hallway. Three hours of watching Brahms breathe through machines.Three hours of knowing Ethan was piecing together the truth.He'd been quiet

I placed them beside the chair and le

    ETHAN’S POV The name stayed on my mind.Brahms.Isabella's response to when I asked also lingered.“Just someone from Paris.”Brahms.That must be the lover, the person whose name starts with the letter B.I turned to her direction. She had removed the earrings from earlier and held them loosely i
