Carmen’s POV

Friday Afternoon

The meeting with the mayor finally wraps. Mayor Rogers looks like trouble with a tie and a creepy ass stare, and weird little smiles. I​m so glad to be done with him. We might have to see him again for the Evanston sustainability piece, but at least my dad is signing up to sit in on that one. Anything to keep his hands clean and mine cleaner.

As I’m gathering my notes, mentally checking off the day, picturing my office and a tall glass of something strong, when a h

  • WITHOUT WARNING: Book 2 Of The Redemption Series    Epilogue 2

    Knox’s POVAfter the initial shock wears off, the very real, very loud realization that I did not have a baby girl but instead produced a whole grown infant of a big healthy boy, I finally start to breathe again.I mean… this kid didn’t come out newborn, sized. No. This baby skipped that stage entirely. He’s not fitting into newborn clothes. He’s not even pretending. He’s going straight into three to six month outfits like he’s late for something.I look over at Sienna, tears streaming down her face as she rubs his tiny back, whispering to him like she’s known him forever. The doctor clears his throat and says, “Alright, Dad, come on over and cut the umbilical cord.”And I just stand there.Frozen.Because what the fuck just happened?Where is my baby girl?My mind has been set on pink blankets, bows, and daddy daughter tea parties. I had a whole future planned. And now I’m standing here staring at my very handsome, very large son wondering how fast my entire life just shifted.I mean

    Epilogue 1Sienna’s POVTwo Months Later“Sienna… ma’am,” Trevor says slowly, arms crossed, eyes glued to my stomach like it might detach itself and roll down the hallway. “Why are you at work?”I scoff and lean back in my chair.“Because if I stay in that house one more full day by myself, I’m going to lose my fucking mind.”He frowns. “You’re nine months pregnant.”“Yes.”“You were supposed to start maternity leave last week.”“Yes.”“And you’re still here.”“Yes,” I repeat. “And let me tell you why.”One day. One single day at home alone.I rearranged the entire living room.Hung every piece of art Knox had been ‘meaning to get to.’Redecorated both baby rooms.Cooked at least fifteen TikTok meals, half of which were lies to blow up people channels.Organized the basement.Found the wine cellar Knox conveniently never mentioned.Organized that too.And when there was nothing left to do?I almost worked myself into active labor out of sheer boredom.So yes. I came to work. Because a

  • WITHOUT WARNING: Book 2 Of The Redemption Series    Chapter 175 Realistically Messed Up

    Knox’s POV As the last of the stragglers finally start drifting toward their cars, the energy in the house shifts. The music is lower. The laughter is softer. That post party quiet starts to creep in, you know the kind that settles into the walls once everyone’s gone.That’s when I notice my sister Kira walking back into the house, with one baby strapped tightly to her chest.I follow her inside without saying anything at first, just watching her body language. She moves slower than usual, shoulders tense, steps distracted. She heads straight toward the first-floor nursery, and I trail behind her, my boots barely making a sound on the floor.She stops abruptly, staring down at the crib like she’s trying to solve a problem that won’t give her an answer.“Hey,” I say gently. “Kira… you okay?”She jumps and whips around so fast she almost loses her balance.“Shit, Knox, you scared me.”I raise an eyebrow. “You’re in my house. But again, are you okay?”She exhales hard, the kind of bre

  • WITHOUT WARNING: Book 2 Of The Redemption Series    Chapter 174 The Wrap Up

    Sienna’s POV I let out a slow, steady sigh as the party starts to wine down, the night settling in heavy and quiet over this wintry Chicago evening. The lights outside glow softer now, the air colder, sharper. I can feel it in my bones, and in my feet.I start walking around, needing to move, needing to breathe.What Jennifer tried to pull earlier is still sitting with me, burning low in my chest. I didn’t want to flip out on anyone, plus, I didn’t want people seeing that side of me especially not my pregnant bad side. Hormones plus rage is a dangerous mix, and I worked too damn hard to keep this day about love.After dancing with Keisha and Maya for a while, I finally tap out.“Alright, girls,” I say, pressing my hand to my lower back, “I need a break. This baby is heavy.”They both laugh.“Well,” Keisha says, grinning, “I’m not at that stage yet, but I’ll be there soon.”I hug her. “Yeah. You will.”We drift over toward Kole, who looks excited but stressed at the same time, that f

  • WITHOUT WARNING: Book 2 Of The Redemption Series    Chapter 173 Too Much Drama For This Mama

    Knox’s POV “Man, bro, I’m just telling you,” I say, shaking my head as I lean back against the high-top table. “Now that the house is finally done and I’m getting ready to put my penthouse on the market, I don’t even know what Sienna’s gonna want to do with her place. She might sell it… or she might keep it as an investment property.”Stephen lets out a low chuckle, sipping his drink. “That house is too nice to just let go. I don’t see her getting rid of it.”He pauses, then smirks. “I’ll talk to sis. I’m making decent money right now anyway. Me and Carmen are doing our thing anyway by staying together.”He exhales slowly. “And Keisha? Well she barely there. When I do see her, she’s already leaving. So technically… it’s really me and Carmen’s place. We can just keep paying rent to sis.”I laugh under my breath. “Yeah, man. I mean, it’s a solid spot. A real three story condo style home. Not one of those fake-ass condos that are basically just apartments.”Stephen nods. “Yeah, she said

  • WITHOUT WARNING: Book 2 Of The Redemption Series    Chapter 173 Seriously, Seriously, Aww Seriously

    Sienna’s POV As I move through what is somehow both my baby shower and my housewarming, I’m overwhelmed in the very best way.Everywhere I turn, there’s love.My favorite people are here.My bestfriends and new friends are here.My family immediate and extended.Even coworkers I didn’t expect to show up are here.I feel wrapped in joy.Across the yard, I spot Knox, laughing, relaxed and talking with his father, grandfather, my father, his uncle, and a few business partners. Stephen, Adamo and Shane are over there too, deep in conversation. Seeing him like that, grounded, proud, and confident really makes my chest ache in a good way.I smile to myself and turn back toward Sade.“So… girl,” I say, lowering my voice motioning my hands around her stomach. “When did this happen?” She laughs, shaking her head. “It was another surprise.”Of course it was.“You know they say birth control isn’t a hundred percent, they sure didn't lie about that,” she continues. “And I kid you not, the way

    Sienna’s POVI woke up tangled in Knox’s arms, feeling sore, but in the best possible way. Satisfied.Smiling against his chest as he snored softly, arms locked tight around me.I pressed a few kisses to his pecs, grinning when he stirred and tightened his hold.I let my lips graze lower, teasing
