Semua Bab Sleeping with the Alpha Who Despised Me: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Amber POVMonday morning came with a cold edge in my bones. I’d barely slept, yet I was more alert than I had been in weeks.Everything was planned.I’d gone through the files again, triple-checked every detail, and reviewed the photographs. I knew what I had to do and there was no room for mistakes.Thanks to the information I’d gathered—and my well-placed spy—I knew what time he finished school. Even better, I knew my brilliant sister had a particular time she picked Steven up. The plan was simple. Arrive twenty minutes earlier. Blend in. Pretend to be River, and get some of Steven’s hair for the DNA test.We were identical twins after all, and I knew how to use that to my advantage. I skipped the bold makeup I usually wore, and picked out one of those plain, neutral outfits she liked. I stared at myself in the mirror before I left.It was jarring—how much I could look like her when I wanted to. Same hazel eyes, same bone structure, same lips. The only thing that ever truly set us

Amber’s POVI sat on the edge of the bed, phone clutched tightly in my hands like it was the only thing keeping me from falling apart. My palms were clammy, and my heartbeat echoed loudly in my ears, drowning out the quiet hum of the ceiling fan above me.It’s been a week. Exactly one week since I dropped off those DNA samples—the one I secretly snipped from the little boy and the other from Zed. One week since I asked the lab to run the tests not once, but over and over again to make absolutely sure.Because this wasn’t just any test. This was the kind of truth that could burn everything I’ve built to the ground.Zed and I have been married for five years. Five long, exhausting, beautiful and frustrating years. And in all that time… not once have I gotten pregnant.At first, I blamed myself. Maybe I was broken. Maybe my body just wasn’t meant to carry life. I remember crying alone in the shower after another negative test, wondering what I did wrong. But then we both went to the hosp

Hailey’s POV I pushed him back and hopped off the counter just in time as Steven came running into the kitchen.“Yes, Steven?” I asked, trying to sound composed.“Please, can you take us to that famous video game store?” he pleaded, bouncing on his feet.“Okay?” Peter said uncertainly.“Okay? No! You’re not going anywhere,” I interjected quickly. “The PS5 is more than enough.”Steven rolled his eyes. “Relax,” Peter said, raising his hands. “I’ll go with them.”“And who exactly is going to pay?” I asked, arching a brow.“Uncle Peter, of course!” Steven replied, grinning.Peter blinked. “I will?”“See?” I said, folding my arms. “No. End of discussion.”“Aunty Hailey, pleeaase?” Steven pouted, his bottom lip sticking out dramatically.Oh, goddess. I could never say no to that face.I sighed. “Okay. But I’m coming along.”“No problem!” Steven shouted, already halfway back to the living room.Peter chuckled. “Alright, boys,” he called, placing a hand on my lower back as we walked out of t

River – POV“So over here is the laundry room,” the agent said, pushing open a narrow door at the far end of the hallway. “It’s a bit small, honestly. Could fit a washer and dryer stacked, but not much else.”I stepped in behind him, eyes scanning the space. A single window let in just enough light to keep it from feeling like a closet. The beige tiles were clean but dated. Still, it was functional.“Does the house have a backup generator or solar?” I asked, turning to him.“Ah, good question,” he said, adjusting his glasses and flipping through the information sheet. “There’s a small generator at the back, but nothing solar installed yet. Of course, you could easily add that. The roof orientation is perfect for it.”I nodded slowly. “Hmm… okay. And the water system? Is it connected to the main line or borehole?”“Main water line,” he replied. “Consistent supply in this area, rarely any interruptions. And the previous owner just changed the water heater, so you’re good on that front.”

Zed’s POV“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting,” the doctor finally said. “You’re the one who brought the boy in, correct?”I nodded quickly. “Yes. I need to know how bad it is. Please.”He nodded, placing a hand gently on my shoulder. “The hit to the head was concerning, but thankfully, there’s no sign of internal bleeding or major brain damage. Just some swelling and bruises. He’s in a coma now, but from the scans and his responses, we believe it’s a mild one. Nothing long-term to worry about.”My shoulders dropped slightly in relief. “So… he’s going to be okay?”“We’re optimistic,” the doctor assured me. “With the kind of trauma he sustained, the coma is the body’s way of recovering. If all continues to go well, he might regain consciousness by tomorrow.”I let out a long breath, nodding. “Thank the Goddess…”“He’ll need monitoring for the next twenty-four to forty-eight hours just to be safe,” he added. “But really, you got him here in time. That helped.”“I’ll stay close. If anythi
