Under His Billionaire Roof Chapter 105: The Appointment
"Two?" Noah's voice cracked. He stared at the screen. At the two tiny shapes. Two heartbeats flickering. "Twins," Dr. Patterson confirmed. "Fraternal, from what I can see. Two separate sacs. Two placentas." Leighton couldn't breathe. Couldn't think. The room tilted sideways. "That's... that's not possible," she said. "It's actually more common than you'd think. Especially if there's a family history. Do either of you have twins in your family?" "My grandmother," Noah said quietly. "My dad's mom. She had twin boys." "There you go. Genetic predisposition." Dr. Patterson pointed at the screen. "See here? Baby A is measuring right on track. And Baby B is just slightly smaller, but that's normal. Both heartbeats are strong. Everything looks perfect." Perfect. The word sounded wrong. Nothing about this felt perfect. Leighton looked at Noah. His face was gray. His hand gripped hers too tight. Hurting her. She didn't tell him to stop. "I'll print you some pictures," Dr. Patterson sa

The plus sign appeared in thirty seconds. Leighton stared at the test. Her hand shaking. The bathroom tiles cold under her bare feet. She'd taken the test while Noah was at the gym. Couldn't wait. Couldn't not know. Two weeks late. She'd convinced herself it was stress. The new client contracts. The late nights building her design portfolio. Her body adjusting to married life. But her body knew. Had known for days. She was pregnant. The word felt too big for her mouth. Too real. Too terrifying. She sat on the edge of the bathtub. Stared at the test again. The plus sign didn't change. Didn't fade. Didn't turn into a mistake. Her phone buzzed. Noah's text. *Heading home. Want breakfast?* She couldn't text back. Her fingers wouldn't work. She just sat there. Holding a plastic stick that changed everything. The front door opened twenty minutes later. Noah's voice carried up the stairs. "Baby? You up?" She tried to answer. Nothing came out. His footsteps on the stairs. Getting cl

"You're cooking?"Leighton stood in the kitchen doorway. Noah was at the stove. Actually cooking. Chicken sizzling in a pan. Garlic smell filling the air."Attempting to cook," he corrected. "There's a difference.""When did this happen?""When I realized my wife shouldn't have to do everything." He looked over his shoulder. Smiled. "Plus Chloe's coming over. I want to prove I'm a functional adult.""By making dinner?""By not burning dinner. Lower bar. More achievable."She walked over. Looked in the pan. "That actually looks good.""Don't sound so surprised.""I am surprised. Last time you tried to cook, you set off the smoke alarm.""That was once. Six months ago. I've grown." He stirred the chicken. Added wine to the pan. It bubbled. Smelled amazing. "How do I know when it's done?""When it's not pink inside.""Helpful."She laughed. Grabbed plates from the cabinet. Started setting the table. The dining room table they'd eaten at maybe five times since she moved in. Usually they a

The call came at eight in the morning.Agent Torres. Noah put it on speaker."Mr. Knight. The SEC is officially closing your case. No charges will be filed. You're cleared."Leighton's hand found Noah's across the table. Their fingers locked tight."Thank you," Noah said. His voice was steady but his hand was shaking."Jennifer Drake's trial begins next month. We'll need you to testify. But as a witness. Not a defendant.""I'll be there.""One more thing. The story's going public today. Press will be all over this. You might want to get ahead of it.""We already are." Noah looked at Leighton. "Press conference is scheduled for noon."Torres was quiet for a second. "Good. Control the narrative. Don't let them write it for you."The call ended.Noah set down the phone. Stared at it like it might ring again and take it all back."It's over," Leighton said."It's over." He stood. Pulled her up. Held her. His face pressed into her hair. "We won.""We won."They stood there for a long momen

The headline hit at six AM.**KNIGHT SECURITY CEO CLEARED IN SEC PROBE. FORMER ASSOCIATE ARRESTED FOR FRAUD.**Leighton read it on her phone. Then the next one. And the next.**JENNIFER DRAKE ARRESTED AT JFK. EXTORTION CHARGES.****KNIGHT'S NAME CLEARED BUT COMPANY STOCK PLUMMETS.****INVESTORS FLEE KNIGHT SECURITY AMID SCANDAL FALLOUT.**She sat up in bed.

Opened the news app. More headlines.**BOARD MEETING SCHEDULED. KNIGHT'S FUTURE UNCERTAIN.****CLIENTS ABANDON FIRM AMID LEGAL DRAMA.****STOCK DOWN 31% IN EARLY TRADING.**Her stomach dropped.Noah's eyes opened. He saw her face. Sat up."What happened?"She handed him his phone. Let him read.His jaw went tight. He scrolled through the headlines. The messages. The calls. His face got paler with each one."The stock's crashing," he said."I know.""Clients are pulling out.""I know.""Eve

David walked into the SEC building at nine AM with three boxes of evidence.Noah walked beside him. Suit pressed. Tie straight. Face calm. He looked like the man who built an empire. Not the man who'd been falling apart a week ago.Leighton waited in the car outside. She'd wanted to come in. David said no. Too many people. Too complicated. But she'd driven them here. Sat in the driver's seat with her hands on the wheel. Ready.Agent Torres met them in the lobby. His face was unreadable."Mr. Knight. Mr. Morrison. Follow me."The conference room was too bright. White walls. Glass table. Six agents waiting. Torres. Kim. Four others whose names didn't matter. They all had the same expression. Tired. Suspicious. Done with this case.David set the boxes on the table. Opened the first one."We're here to present new evidence," he said. "Evidence that fundamentally changes the nature of this investigation."Torres crossed his arms. "We've heard that before.""Not like this." David pulled out
