Chapter 12~~NIGHT~~Tessa sat at the dining table, completely still, completely gone. Her eyes were unfocused, her fingers hovering near her lips, her mind racing in circles since Ashley’s visit. Every thought felt heavier than the last.Could Kingsley really go that far? Would he actually kill people… just to protect Luna?The more she thought about it, the more it refused to sound impossible. And that realization made something cold curl in her stomach.She didn’t even hear Mia walk into the house.“Tess… Tessa?”No reaction.“TESSA!”Tessa jolted so hard the chair legs scraped the floor. Her breath hitched. “Oh—Mia. You’re back.” She stood too quickly, like someone trying to outrun whatever she was thinking.Mia frowned. “What were you thinking about? I’ve been calling you forever.”Tessa forced a smile that didn’t touch her eyes. When she reached out to ruffle Mia’s hair, her hand was shaking. “Sorry. Just… work stuff.”“Really?” Mia asked, brows knitting as she studied her sis

Chapter 14~~ NIGHT — VOSS MANSION ~~Tessa had just tucked Luna in, switching off the lamp when a sharp pain twisted through her lower stomach.“Ah—damn,” she hissed, pressing her palm flat against her abdomen.Her cramps were getting worse.Too familiar.“Please don’t let this be what I think it is…” she muttered as she shuffled into her room.She opened her drawer.Paused.Stared.Then groaned loudly.“Oh perfect. Of course. Of course I’d forget tampons of all things.”She dragged a hand down her face. “My uterus hates me.”She marched to Teresa’s room and knocked lightly.Nothing.Knocked again.Still nothing.“Seriously? You pick tonight to sleep like a log?”She jiggled the doorknob — locked.Tessa let her head fall against the door dramatically.“Great. I’m dying.”She trudged back into her room, threw on joggers, a big hoodie, grabbed her phone, and stepped into the hallway.OUTSIDETessa reached the gate, only to find two guards standing there like statues. Arms crossed, eyes

Chapter 16Kingsley’s RoomKingsley sat on the edge of his bed, head bowed, fingers clasped tightly together.He had lost his temper with Tessa earlier, and that mistake irritated him more than he cared to admit. He knew her well enough now—once she woke up, she would threaten to leave.And he couldn’t allow that.She can’t leave Luna, he thought darkly. And she definitely can’t leave me.His hand dragged through his hair roughly as he exhaled. Then, slowly, an idea formed.A small, calculated smile appeared on his lips.“I just need something to soften her,” he muttered.He reached for his phone. The beep sounded softly before Vince’s voice came through.“Boss.”“Get me flowers,” Kingsley said calmly. “Something women like. Make it convincing.”Before Vince could ask questions, the call ended.Kingsley took a long shower, letting the water wash away any trace of agitation. When he stepped out, he dressed carefully, choosing clothes that made him look relaxed—approachable.By the time

Chapter 18Kingsley sat on the far end of the sofa, deliberately distant from his mother.Felix had just finished his polite chitchat with Tessa before she carried Luna upstairs, her small body limp with sleep, fallen asleep in Mrs Voss’s arms. The house had grown quiet—but not peaceful.“Why show up unannounced?” Kingsley said at last, his gaze fixed on the floor.His mother inhaled slowly. “King, I’m your mother. And this—” she gestured vaguely between them, “—this hostility has to stop. You treat your family like we’re a thorn lodged in your flesh.”A humorless smile tugged at Kingsley’s lips.“Do you really think showing up now will make up for what you did when Luna was born?” His voice hardened. “Because it won’t.”Felix shifted uneasily. “Brother, calm down. Mother had her reasons—”Kingsley shot him a glare sharp enough to silence him.“Do you know how it feels,” Kingsley continued, his voice rising, “to raise a newborn alone? To wake up every night, every single night, wonderi

Chapter 20~~TESSA'S RESIDENCE~~A car pulled up in front of Tessa’s house, but she didn’t move, she sat frozen with her eyes fixed ahead and her fingers curled tightly in her lap. Felix walked around to her side and opened the car door, leaning slightly as he called her name.“Tessa, Tess,” he said softly, but she didn’t respond, her gaze still distant and unfocused. “Tessa, come on,” he added, tapping her shoulder gently.She blinked and turned to him slowly, her eyes glassy with unshed tears. “What will happen to Luna now? Will she think I’m a bad person?” she asked, her voice shaking.Felix hesitated for a moment before forcing a small, reassuring smile. “I think she’ll understand, she likes you more than you think.”Tessa shook her head immediately, her lips trembling as she struggled to hold herself together. “I don’t want to leave, I never want to leave her alone but…” her voice cracked and the rest of her words dissolved into sobs.Felix pulled her into a hug without another w
