Bridgett

The service hallway smelled of bleach and silence.

I walked fast, the backpack slung over one shoulder, my heart beating in my throat like a trapped bird.

"Mami, where are we going?" Abby asked, tugging on my hand. Her voice echoed too loudly in the narrow concrete corridor.

"Shh, sweetie," I whispered, forcing a smile that felt like broken glass on my face. "It’s a game. We’re playing hide and seek. We have to be very quiet so Paul doesn't find us."

Theo, walking on my other side, wasn't smiling.

He wore his small Spiderman backpack and a deep frown. His eyes, blue with flecks of gold, scrutinized me with an intensity that didn't belong to a five-year-old.

"You smell like salt water," Theo said quietly. "You smell sad."

"I’m not sad, baby," I lied, squeezing his hand. "I’m just focused. Come on."

We reached the rear kitchen door. It was the vendor delivery entrance—the only blind spot in the camera network that Elliot knew about from the blueprints he had found online years

  • Triplets for the Alpha CEO   Chapter 30

    BridgettThe highway stretched out before us like a gray ribbon, endless and suffocating.We had been driving for an hour. The Chicago skyline was a distant memory in the rearview mirror, but the feeling of dread hadn't lessened. It had grown heavier, settling in the pit of my stomach like lead."We made good time," Elliot said, tapping the steering wheel nervously. "We’ll cross the border by midnight. I have a friend in Toronto. A cabin. No internet, no cell service. He won't find us there.""He will," I whispered, staring out the window at the blurring trees. "You don't understand, Elliot. He has resources you can't even imagine.""He’s just a man with a checkbook, Bridgett," Elliot scoffed, glancing at me. "You treat him like he’s a god.""He’s not a god," I murmured, touching the bare skin of my ring finger where the diamond used to be. "He’s an Alpha.""Mommy..."A whimper from the back seat cut through the tension like a knife.I turned around instantly. "Theo? What is it, baby?

  • Triplets for the Alpha CEO   Chapter 28

    Bridgett«The girl or the legacy»The words on the phone screen burned into my retinas, brighter and more destructive than the sun streaming through the windows.I stared at the notification until the screen went black, my heart hammering a frantic, painful rhythm against my ribs.I dropped the phone on the bed as if it were a poisonous snake.It all made sense. The sudden coldness. The refusal to look me in the eye. The hasty retreat to the office.Jordan wasn't rejecting me because he regretted the night we spent together. He wasn't pulling away because I wasn't enough.He was pulling away because loving me was going to cost him everything."Oh, Jordan," I whispered, pressing my hands to my mouth to stifle a sob. "You idiot. You stubborn, noble idiot."I needed to see it. I needed to know the extent of the damage.I wiped my eyes, steeling myself. I walked out of the bedroom and down the hall toward his study.Paul was standing guard at the top of the stairs, distracted by his earpi

    Bridgett The sun streamed through the heavy velvet curtains, painting lines of gold across the black silk sheets. I stretched, my body aching in the most delicious way possible. Every muscle felt loose, heavy, and satisfied. The lingering scent of sandalwood, rain, and raw masculinity clung to my skin, marking me more effectively than any tattoo. I reached out across the massive bed, seeking the heat source I had fallen asleep against. Cold silk. I opened my eyes. The space beside me was empty. Panic, irrational and sharp, spiked in my chest. «He left. It was a mistake. Post-clarity regret» "Relax, little wolf." The deep, rumbling voice came from the balcony door. I propped myself up on my elbows, pulling the sheet up to cover my nakedness. Jordan was standing there, leaning against the doorframe. He was wearing low-slung gray sweatpants and nothing else. His broad chest, marked with the faint scratches I had left there last night, rose and fell steadily. He held two mugs of

    BrisgettThe limousine tore through the suburbs of Chicago like a missile.I sat in the back, shivering despite the heating being on full blast. The effects of the chloroform were fading, replaced by a sharp, crystal-clear rage.Jordan sat beside me, gripping my hand so tight I thought he might crack my bones. He hadn't spoken since we left the hotel. He was vibrating with a silent, terrifying energy. He wasn't just angry; he was an executioner on his way to the gallows."We’re here," he said, his voice flat.I looked out the window. The peeling beige siding of my childhood home looked ghostly under the streetlights. It looked small. Pathetic."Are you sure you want to do this?" Jordan asked, turning to me. "I can handle it. You don't have to see them.""I need to," I whispered. "I need them to know they can't hurt me anymore."Jordan nodded once. "Then let’s go."(***)My mother opened the door before we even knocked. She must have been waiting for Silas. She must have been waiting f

    BridgettThe chemical stench of chloroform filled my nose, stinging my sinuses.I tried to hold my breath, to fight the black wave crashing over my mind, but the grip on my mouth was iron-tight. My heels dragged uselessly against the plush carpet as the man hauled me backward into the shadows."Almost there," the man grunted, his breath hot and sour against my neck. "Easy money."We were moving away from the screaming crowd, toward the faint red glow of an emergency exit sign. The heavy door was pushed open by a second figure, revealing the damp, cold alleyway behind the hotel.«No. If they get me into a car, I’m gone. I’ll never see my babies again»I clawed at the man’s arm, my nails digging into his jacket, but my limbs felt like they were made of lead. The drug was taking hold. My vision blurred. The world tilted.And then, the darkness behind us growled.It wasn't a human sound. It was a vibration that shook the floorboards, a primal resonance that made the hair on my arms stand
