Bella stirred awake, his arm draped over her like a deadweight. She shifted slowly, her gaze lingering on Ray as he slept. Mid-thirties, rugged as hell, God, she thought, I’m acting like some lovesick kid.“You figure out my age yet, or you just enjoy staring?” he mumbled, eyes still shut.“Yeah, and I’m fine with it, “leaning in to kiss him. Her hands roamed his chest, followed by her lips, teasing.Ray tugged her on top of him, and she let out a surprised laugh. He didn’t waste time, expertly unraveling her with a mix of skill and possessiveness that left her breathless.Ray's phone vibrated relentlessly against the nightstand. He grabbed it with a scowl."We got him," said the voice on the other end."Good. Warm him up for me." He caught Bella watching him, her eyes questioning. "The mole," he explained.She shook her head. "You don't have to explain. I'm familiar with violence."He pulled her close. "What do you want today? Just you and me.""Really?" Her face brightened. "Nothing

Bella assembled her rifle with practiced ease, Ray eyeing her like she was some kind of action hero. Tobias stood by, impatient. Bella peered through the scope, a car was closing in, Julia’s head still hooded. Tobias tossed the bag, and the second it hit the ground, one of the guys pulled a gun. Bella didn’t hesitate, nailing him in the arm. She shifted, took out the other guy’s arm too. Tobias bolted for the car, yanking the bag off Julia’s terrified face. They scrambled into the car, but one guy managed to lift his gun, Bella shot his arm again. She disassembled the rifle, slid into the car, and Ray hit the gas. They regrouped at Tobias’s place. Julia hugged Bella tight.“Thanks, sis. You’re a damn legend.”“Just glad you’re okay.”Tobias wrapped her in a quick hug. “I owe you big time.”Bella shrugged. “She’s, my sister. I’d have done anything for her.The men stepped out onto the patio, leaving Julia and Bella on the couch.“Julia,” Bella said, leaning in, “maybe Tobias has a poin

Bella perched on the bench in the shadowy dark, Lucas sliding in beside her. She collapsed against his chest, tears spilling. “Okay, breathe,” he said gently. “What’s going on?”She spilled everything she knew, her voice shaky but determined. “I’ll figure out who set him up,” Lucas promised. “But Bella, he’s going to need top-tier lawyers.”“I know,” she murmured. “Thank you, Lucas. I love you.”He pressed a kiss to her cheek. “Love you too.” And with that, he was gone.Bella strode into the precinct, chin up, eyes sharp. Lawyers were bickering in the background, one already in the interrogation room with him.A man in his fifties approached, clipboard in hand. “Ms. Jackson?”“You mean Ms. Watson,” she corrected, tone clipped.He raised an eyebrow, glancing at her. “Oh, you’re married to him?”“Yeah, I’m his wife. What do you want?”“Testify against him, and we’ll put you in witness protection.”She scoffed. “Not a chance in hell. He’s clean. Our business is legit. He was framed. I’ve

His parents stepped in, and the doctor shot them a sideways glance."Ms. Bella, let’s see what’s going on here," he said, spreading the jelly on her belly. He peered at the screen and froze."What? You’re freaking me out, doc. What’s wrong? Did you forget how to doctor or something?" Bella snapped.He hit a button, and the sound of a heartbeat filled the room—but it was off, strange.Carol clapped a hand over her mouth."Tell me, Carol, what is it?""Twins. You’re having twins.""What?" Bella stared at the doctor. He nodded."The first one is a boy," he said. Carol and Ben erupted in cheers. "And the second one’s a girl." They cheered again, louder this time.Bella burst into tears, hormones, shock, and joy all tangled together.She kept glancing at her phone, willing it to ring—like some lovesick teenager waiting for her crush to call.Finally, it buzzed. “Bella, you’re killing me here. Spill it.”“You ready for this?” She paused, hearing him take a sharp breath. “A boy… and a girl.”

Three months they dragged it, couldn’t pin a thing on him, so they buried him in paperwork instead.Bella paced the room, her hands resting on her swollen belly. Any day now. The sound of a car pulling up snapped her attention to the door. He burst out of the car, lunging for her, and pulled her into a kiss, breathing her in like he’d been starving for air. Carol and Ben trailed behind as they finally stepped inside.He kissed her belly. “How are you holding up?”“Can’t sleep, can’t eat, and I’m a walking disaster. Sure, you still want to stick around?”They all laughed, but Bella winced, a sharp pain cutting through her. She brushed it off. Carol didn’t miss it.“Bella, was that a contraction?”She started to talk, but another pain hit, sharper this time, and she cried out. The water broke, and for a second, everyone froze. Then chaos erupted. “Hospital, now!”He climbed into the back seat with her, her grip on his hand like a vise as she cursed up a storm.At the hospital, he paced
