Sophia POV

I made it two more blocks before I turned around and walked straight to the urgent care clinic on Maple Street instead of Dr. Graham's office. Different building, different staff, no one who knew my face. I sat in the waiting room for forty minutes with my hand pressed against my stomach, running through every obstetric scenario I'd studied and telling myself none of the bad ones applied here.

The doctor on duty was young, maybe a year out of residency. He didn't ask many questions.

  • Dominated By Him   Chapter 133

    Vito POVI put the phone down and sat with it for a moment.Fifteen percent. That was what they'd asked for. Fifteen percent of Romano Holdings, transferred clean within forty-eight hours, in exchange for a woman they'd described as my wife.I already knew this wasn't my father's operation.Luciano Romano had been patient for twenty years. He had spent that time building leverage, positioning Clark, chipping away at the board piece by piece. He didn't make moves like this. Snatching Isabella off a bus route in Connecticut and calling me with a ransom demand — that was reckless. That was the work of someone who thought proximity to the plan entitled them to run their own version of it.Someone had gone off-script."Tony."He came in from the side door. He'd been standing outside the study since the call ended."The voice on the phone," I said. "Run it.""Already started." He set his phone on the edge of the desk. "We'll have something within the hour. The accent had a regional trace —

    Sophia POVSomewhere. Time unknown.The first thing I registered was the smell.Industrial cleaner, old wood, and something underneath that — damp concrete, the specific cold of a space that didn't get enough heat. Not a house. Somewhere larger. A warehouse, maybe. Or a storage facility.The second thing I registered was that I couldn't move my hands.I didn't open my eyes right away. I'd learned enough in the past year to know that waking up in an unknown situation was not the moment to announce that you were awake. I kept my breathing slow and even, ran a mental inventory of my body, and tried to build a picture from what I could feel.Hands bound behind the chair. Zip ties or rope — rope, with some give in it. Ankles secured to the chair legs. The chair itself was solid, wood, not bolted to the floor. I could feel my coat still on me, which meant they hadn't searched me thoroughly, or they'd decided I wasn't carrying anything useful. My phone would be gone. It was.Head. A dull ach

I sat in the waiting room for forty minutes with my hand pressed against my stomach, running through every obstetric scenario I'd studied and telling myself none of the bad ones applied here.The doctor on duty was young, maybe a year out of residency. He didn't ask many questions. He did the exam, ordered an ultrasound, and came back fifteen minutes later with the results."Everything looks normal," he said. "Cervix is closed. Baby's measuring on track." He turned the screen toward me. "Heartbeat's strong."I stared at the screen.The same fast, steady sound. Still there. Still exactly the same.I pressed my lips together and nodded and did not cry in the urgent care clinic, which I considered a significant personal achievement."Round ligament pain is very common in the

    Sophia POVThree weeks in.My routine had settled into something almost normal.Six-thirty: wake up, eat something small before the nausea had a chance to catch up with me. Seven-fifteen: walk to the clinic. Seven-forty-five: unlock the supply cabinet, start the coffee, review the morning schedule. Dr. Graham usually arrived around eight, already in his coat, already talking.I liked the mornings. They were predictable. After eight months of never knowing what the next hour would bring, predictable was the best thing in the world."Your differential on the Hendricks case," Dr. Graham said, dropping a chart on my desk without preamble. "Walk me through it."I picked up the file. Mrs. Hendricks, sixty-three, recurring fatigue and joint pain. Three previous visits. "The lab values are trending toward hypothyroid, but her TSH is still borderline. I'd want to retest in six weeks and check anti-TPO antibodies before committing to a diagnosis."Dr. Graham looked at me for a moment without sp

    Maria POVWhen I first heard Isabella had disappeared, I spent about ten minutes pretending to look concerned. Then I went back to my room and slept better than I had in months.She was gone. Actually gone. No more shadow hanging over every conversation, no more watching Vito's eyes track across a room looking for her the way they always did, even when he thought he was being careful. The estate felt different without her. Lighter.Mine, something in me said quietly. Finally.The housekeeper called me "Miss Maria" the first week. By the second week, it was "Miss Castellano." Now it was just "Miss Maria" again, but the tone was different. Luciano noticed too. He started requesting my presence at his dinners.We were useful to each other, Luciano and I. He needed someone to manage Vito's domestic life while Vito was preoccupied and unreachable. I needed someone to make sure my position here calcified before anyone could question it. Neither of us had to say any of this out loud. That w

    Millbrook Family Clinic. Tuesday morning.The nurse at the front desk had a kind face and a clipboard. She handed me a form, pointed to a row of chairs, and said someone would call my name in about twenty minutes.I sat down and filled out the paperwork. Name. Date of birth. Reason for visit.Prenatal intake.I wrote it without hesitating. Two words. Completely ordinary."Is the father joining you today?" the nurse asked when she collected the forms. Her voice was routine. She asked everyone the same question."He's traveling for work," I said. I smiled. It came out natural.Something in my chest pressed sharp for a moment, then went dull. I folded my hands in my lap and waited.The exam room was small and clean. The ultrasound technician introduced herself, said a few things I didn't fully process, and then the screen lit up.I wasn't prepared for the sound.The heartbeat came through the speaker fast and clear — faster than I'd expected, stronger than anything that small had a right
