Chapter 74

Serena

I woke up slowly, awareness returning in gentle waves rather than all at once.

For a moment, I just lay there with my eyes closed, feeling the warmth of the hospital blankets, hearing the soft beeping of monitors, and most importantly, feeling Ethan's hand wrapped securely around mine.

Then I remembered.

The baby.

I'm pregnant.

My free hand immediately went to my stomach, resting there gently.

There was a tiny life growing inside me.

A baby.

My baby. Ethan's baby. Our baby.

  • The Worthless Ex-Wife's Revenge    Chapter 147

    Serena It was past two in the morning.The hospital had gone quiet — the particular deep quiet of a building full of sleeping people, only the soft footsteps of night staff in the corridor outside.Ethan had finally set his phone down. He sat in the chair beside my bed for a moment, just looking at me. Then he stood, pulled back the blanket, and climbed into the hospital bed beside me."Ethan...""Move over." He murmured."This is a single bed in a hospital." I reminded him."Serena."I moved over.A nurse opened the door without knocking and stopped in shock when she saw Ethan.She looked at us — Ethan fully clothed, shoes still on, taking up half a bed that was not designed for two people.She drew breath to say something.Ethan looked at her coldly and she swallowed her word.She pressed her lips together, made a note on her chart, apologised and quietly pulled the door shut behind her.I settled into his side. His arm came around me, warm and solid and familiar.He placed his fre

    Serena Ethan was out of bed in one motion, his phone already in his hand. He pressed a kiss to my forehead — quick but firm, like a promise, and then he was talking."Max." His voice was low and hard. "My wife needs immediate medical attention. Pull the car around now. I want the front entrance cleared in two minutes. Call ahead to St. Matthew's, tell them we're coming and I want Dr. Mitchell contacted personally. Move."He hung up and was already pulling on clothes."James." Another call. "Wake the house. I need Elena upstairs now with a clean towel and warm water. Tell Dr. Mitchell's emergency line we are on our way."He crossed back to me, sat on the edge of the bed, and took my face in his hands."I have you," he said. Quiet. Direct. Steady as stone. "Both of you. I have you."Elena, our head housekeeper, appeared at the door within ninety seconds — flushed, wrapped in her robe, everything Ethan asked for already in her hands. She helped me while Ethan finished dressing, both of

    SerenaEthan had cut fruit for me before he left.I was picking at the strawberries when Desmond knocked."Come in."He stepped inside, tablet in one hand, folder in the other. He looked at me the way everyone had been looking at me since yesterday — carefully, like I was something fragile."Good morning, ma'am. How are you feeling?""Better. Sit down, Desmond and stop looking at me like that."He sat across from me and set his things on the coffee table."I wanted to check on you personally first," he said. "Yesterday shook everyone at the office.""I'm fine," I said. "Talk to me about work. That actually helps."He nodded and opened his tablet."Uhm.... Ma'am, Lawrence Global had three new collaboration requests coming this week. The most significant one is from Meridian Properties, a Singapore firm. They're serious players. Regional expansion deal, and they want to structure it around us. Their legal team sent a full proposal."I set down my fork. "What are the terms?""Very favora

    Ethan Ashford I reached for my phone to call Daniel.That's when Katherine's phone rang.She answered immediately."Ross." A pause. Her face didn't move, but her eyes changed. "Send it to my secure server. Right now."She hung up and looked at me."That was my tech analyst," she said. "She finished tracing the IP address from the threatening text your wife received.""And?" I asked.Katherine held my gaze."It didn't originate from Dave Harrison's location," she said. "The cell tower proximity was coincidental, or manufactured. The text was routed through a VPN, but my analyst stripped the layers."She paused."The IP address traces back to Lawrence Global headquarters."The world went very still.Lawrence Global?My mind was already moving, cataloguing, calculating — when my phone buzzed.A message from Mathew Reeves, one of my perimeter guards posted on the north side of the property. Ex-military. Fifteen years in private security. A man who did not rattle easily.The message read:

    Ethan AshfordI watched the clock on the dashboard tick past 9 AM.Dave's restraining order had been filed at seven. Served by eight-fifteen.Now I sat in the back of my SUV, parked half a block from Dave Harrison's brownstone, and I waited.Katherine Ross sat in the front passenger seat, saying nothing. She was good at that. Comfortable with silence in a way that most people weren't.I was not comfortable with silence this morning.I kept thinking about everything that happened .I had promised Serena that I would find out whoever is behind it and part of that promise started here."They're inside," Daniel said through my earpiece. "Two officers serving the order now."I nodded once, though he couldn't see me.Three minutes passed.Then the door opened.Dave came out first, still in yesterday's clothes by the look of it, his face twisted with something between confusion and fury. Two police officers flanked him. A third was behind him.I watched him scan the street. His eyes moved pa

    Ethan Ashford "What do you mean?" I asked. "Look at the pattern," Katherine said, pulling up a timeline on her tablet. "Victoria Wellington attacks Serena publicly through the fake videos and kidnapping. That's overt, aggressive, designed to destroy her reputation and terrify her." She pointed to another entry. "Then you have Dave Harrison, who's been stalking Serena for years. His approach is covert, obsessive, personal." "And tonight?" I asked. "Tonight is something different," Katherine said. "The person standing in your yard wasn't trying to attack. They were sending a message. And the message is specifically about the baby." "So you think there are multiple people involved," Daniel said. "I think there's a network," Katherine said. "And I think Victoria's mysterious 'Boss' is at the center of it. He or she recruited Victoria, paid off Richard, and possibly influenced or directed Dave as well." "Victoria is in jail. So who the hell was in my yard tonight?" Kath

    SerenaOne week later, I finally convinced Ethan to let us go home.Don't get me wrong, the safe house was beautiful and secure. But it wasn't home.I missed our bedroom. Our kitchen. Our normal life."Are you sure you're ready?" Ethan asked as we packed our bags."Yes," I said firmly. "I can't hid

    Serena "What is he doing here?" I asked my secretary."He says he came to check on you," she replied.I frowned slightly. "Send him in."Dave walked in carrying two bags of food, wearing his usual charming smile."I hope I'm not interrupting," he said."A little," I admitted. "But that's okay. Wha
