Semua Bab Owned by the Cold Ceo: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Damian’s POVThe last of the pizza was gone, the boxes pushed aside but I didn’t move from my chair. I sat there, watching Lena finish the last bite with a soft sigh of satisfaction. She wiped her fingers delicately with a napkin, her cheeks flushed from the meal, her eyes bright in a way that made the air in my chest tighten.“Enough for today,” I murmured. “You’ve done too much, It’s time to rest.”She shook her head instantly, her hand waving dismissively. “I’m not tired yet.”I arched a brow. “Lena—”“I’m serious.” She leaned forward, her excitement palpable. “Damian, what about the baby’s room? The nursery?”Her words caught me off guard.“The nursery?”“Yes.” Her eyes lit up, her hands moving as if she could already see it. “We’ve bought so many things today, clothes, toys, the stroller but the room is still empty. We haven’t even decided on the color or where to put the crib or anything at all. Don’t you think we should start?”I almost smiled at her energy, even when she was t

The Silent StormDamian's POV I let the phone face down on the table and forced my hand to unclench. Her eyes were on me, soft and searching. If I let her see what that message really stirred inside me, I’d ruin the lightness of her morning.So I lied. “Nothing you need to worry about.”Her frown lingered for a second before she smiled again and went back to fussing over the little onesie she’d carried down with her. That smile could disarm an army and still, I felt the storm building at the back of my skull.I took a breath and pushed the thoughts aside, today wasn’t about business, not about threats, not even about Grey or whatever snake was hiding in the shadows.Today was about her and the nursery.---After lunch, I kept my word.By the time we stepped into the empty room upstairs, her excitement was a living thing, bouncing off the walls. She ran her hand over the bare surface, already painting it in her mind.She turned to me with a grin. “It looks so empty now… but I can alre

Lena's POV I stood in the doorway of the nursery, my hand pressed lightly against the frame. The soft blue walls glowed faintly in the sunlight, the curtains with tiny clouds fluttered in the breeze and the crib, centered just where I’d insisted looked like it had been waiting forever for the baby it would hold.I stepped inside slowly, one hand cradling my belly. My son gave a little kick and I laughed softly. “Do you like it?” I whispered. “This is your room. Your stars, your little castle.”The shelves were already half-filled with tiny clothes, folded neatly in shades of cream, blue and gray. A stuffed bear sat propped in the corner of the crib, its stitched smile watching me like it knew a secret.I pulled out my phone, unable to keep the grin off my face and dialed Kate.She picked up on the second ring. “Lena? What’s up?”“Kate, you have to come over,” I said quickly, almost breathless.“Why? What happened?” Her voice sharpened with alarm.“Nothing bad!” I rushed to reassure h

Lena's POV At first, there was nothing, just darkness.No sound, no light, nothing. For some terrifying moment I thought maybe this was it, maybe my baby was gone, maybe I was too.But then something cut through the darkness.A voice, it was deep and rough and shaking in a way I'd never heard before."Stay with me, Lena."Damian.His voice was like an anchor, pulling me back up even though everything felt so heavy, like I was sinking deeper and deeper into nothing.I tried to move, tried to say something but my lips wouldn't work. Some weak sound came out, more like breath than actual words."Remember the stars?" I tried to whisper, though I wasn't sure if he could hear me or if I was just holding onto something familiar in my head.The darkness took me again.But then there were flashes.Bright lights, sirens screaming. Something sharp and cold stabbing into my arm, liquid rushing into my veins."Vitals are dropping!" someone shouted, panicked."She's losing too much blood—""No!" T

Damian’s POVKate left and hours went by, it was already night, Lena and our son were asleep and I was still sitting in that uncomfortable hospital chair with my hand wrapped around Lena's. I couldn't make myself let go not after what almost happened.The machines kept beeping steadily, the lights were dimmed down low. Nurses kept coming in to check her vitals and peek at the baby, then they'd slip back out but I barely noticed them. My whole world had shrunk down to two things: the woman sleeping in that bed and the tiny boy in the bassinet next to her.I leaned forward and brushed my thumb across Lena's knuckles. Her hand was so small in mine, delicate but even while she was sleeping she was holding on, like she wouldn't let go of me either."You scared the hell out of me," I whispered, my voice coming out rough. "Both of you."I turned to look at the bassinet. Slowly, I stood up and walked over to it. He was awake now, his eyes wide and dark, staring up at the ceiling like he was a
