Chapter 31: Move In With Me

Lauren woke up on the couch to the sound of her own ragged breathing. A sour, metallic taste coated her tongue, and a violent wave of nausea knotted her stomach.The apartment felt too small, the air felt too thick. Her head throbbed with a dull, rhythmic ache, and her throat burned as if she’d swallowed coal. Every bone in her body felt as if it had turned to lead, pinning her to the worn-out cushions.With a trembling hand, she fumbled for her phone on the coffee table. Her vision blurred as she scrolled to the only person she could think of. “Hey, babe… are you home?” she whispered.Mia’s voice shot through the speaker. “Laur? What’s wrong? You don’t sound okay.”Lauren squeezed her eyes shut, trying to stop the room from spinning. “I think… I think it’s the morning sickness. It won't stop, Mia. I can't even stand up.”She heard Mia inhale sharply on the other end. “Say no more, babe. I’m on my way. Don't you dare move.”The line went off.Lauren dropped the phone and focused on br

Chapter 32: Nowhere to Run

Lauren blinked several times, trying to make sense of what she had just heard. “Could you please repeat that?” she asked, her voice flat, almost robotic. Her brow was furrowed so deeply it looked painful as her brain struggled to process the absurdity of the statement.Colt inhaled slowly, his chest expanding under his crisp shirt as if he was bracing himself for impact. “I said… move in with me.”For a second, nothing happened.Then Lauren laughed. It burst from her, sharp and suddenly, echoing off the cramped walls of her apartment. She bent forward, hands on her knees, laughing so hard her shoulders shook. Tears slipped from her eyes, blurring her vision.Mia and Colt exchanged a look, the kind people share when they realize something has gone very wrong.“Laur,” Mia said carefully from the corner, her voice small and cautious. She reached for Lauren’s arm. “Is… everything okay?”Lauren shook her head, still laughing, the sound breaking apart. Then, just as suddenly as it started,

Chapter 33: Close Enough to Break

“Come and have a seat,” Colt said. His voice was low and steady, but it carried the weight of a command he was trying to soften.Lauren lifted one brow, her hand still gripping the door handle. “You’re inviting me to sit down in my own house?”One corner of Colt’s mouth tugged upward before he could stop it. It wasn't a smirk; it was a faint, genuine smile of appreciation for her fire.She exhaled through her nose, shook her head, straightened from where she was leaning against the door, and slowly walked to the couch. She sat at the far end, leaving as much space as possible.Colt stood for a second, watching her every move. Then he sat, too.The couch was small, too small for the two of them, especially with Colt; his long legs had nowhere to go. To face her, he had to angle his knees toward hers, his broad shoulder nearly brushing against her own. The air between them felt thin, charged with the scent of his expensive cologne and the faint smell of the rain outside.It was definite

Chapter 34: The House Before the Storm

“I’m moving out tomorrow.”The words crashed into the room’s silence. The low hum of the documentary on the television was the only other sound until Julia Moore’s head snapped toward her son. Beside her, Charlotte’s eyebrows shot up so high they almost disappeared into her hairline.Julia reached for the remote and muted the TV, her eyes narrowing. “Moving out tomorrow? Colt, be serious. The plan was for you to leave a few days before the wedding. That’s more than two months away.”Colt didn’t look at her; he couldn’t. He sat with his arms resting on his thighs, his gaze fixed somewhere past the glass table in front of them. “The house has been ready for weeks,” he said, his voice clipped and dry. “There’s no reason to wait. I’m ready to be in my own space.”Charlotte’s eyes darted between her brother and her mother, sensing the storm brewing.Julia studied her son for a long moment, then clasped her hands. “Well,” she said at last, forcing a slight smile that didn't reach her eyes.

Chapter 35: The Line He Finally Crossed

The voices outside his office hit first, loud, sharp, and ugly.Colt’s pen froze mid-signature. He squeezed his eyes shut for a second as a sharp throb began behind his temples. He had been in back-to-back meetings for five hours — finance, legal, and a grueling product development session. His tie felt like a noose, and it was just past one o’clock.Then the door didn't just open; it slammed against the wall.“Shut your mouth, you pathetic little mouse!”Colt looked up just in time to see Madison storm in, her expensive heels clicking on the floor. Shirley, his soft-spoken secretary, was trailing behind her, looking like she wanted the floor to swallow her whole. Her hands were trembling, twisting the fabric of her blazer.“I’m so sorry, Mr. Moore,” Shirley stammered, her voice shaking. “I tried to inform her that you were busy and that you weren’t seeing visitors today, but she just...”“Keep your dirty mouth shut when I’m talking!” Madison whirled around, pointing a sharp, manicure

Chapter 36: The Golden Cage

“I think I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear that. It was a very silly thing to say, baby.” Madison’s voice cut through the room, light and careless, like she had just brushed dust off her shoulder. She reached into her designer bag and pulled out her gold-encrusted phone before Colt could utter another word. She tapped the screen, and a wide, forced smile spread across her face. “Hi, Daddy!”Colt dropped back into his leather chair and rubbed the bridge of his nose; his head throbbed, and his chest tightened. He stayed quiet, staring at the edge of his desk as her sugary voice filled the room."I’m with Colt right now,” Madison said smoothly, her eyes locked on Colt’s in a chilling, vacant stare. “We’re just about to head out for lunch. I know, isn't he sweet?”Colt’s eyes snapped open. He stared at her, his jaw dropping in disbelief. He shook his head slowly, but she just winked at him.“No, Daddy, I’m not disturbing him at all,” she continued, her voice practically dripping with hone

Chapter 37: Lullabies and 4K Screens

Colt slammed his car door shut with enough force to rattle the luxury frame. He pulled out of the office parking lot, his tires screeching against the asphalt. His jaw was still clenched from his encounter with Madison in his office. He yanked at his tie, loosening the knot with one hand while the other gripped the steering wheel as if he wanted to snap it.He needed a distraction. He needed a mission.Lauren was moving in, and her room was still empty. He had decided, quite suddenly, that she needed a television. A big one. Something to keep her occupied when morning sickness kept her glued to the bed.Then his phone rang. He pulled it from his suit jacket, glanced at the screen, and rolled his eyes. “What?” he barked, hitting the speakerphone.Alex’s voice boomed through the car, sounding deeply offended. “Is that how you answer phone calls now?”Colt hissed. “I’m still angry with you. Don't push it.”Alex let out a long, dramatic sigh. “How many times do you want me to apologize fo

Chapter 38: The Woman Who Was Never Lauren

The sharp knock on the door made Colt’s pen slip across the legal brief he was reviewing. He didn't look up, his mind still buried in the contract clauses.“Come in,” he grunted.Shirley stepped into his office, her posture stiff. “Sir… Lauren Hill is here to see you.”Colt’s hand froze. His heart gave a strange, violent thump against his ribs. “Lauren?” He finally looked up, his brows drawn together. “Are you sure? She didn’t mention she was coming by.”“Yes, sir. She's right outside.” Shirley hesitated, her eyes darting toward the hallway. “Should I… let her in?”“Yes, of course.” Colt stood immediately, smoothing the front of his white shirt. “Send her in. And Shirley? Bring us some tea.”Shirley nodded and stepped back. Colt took a deep, steadying breath. His mind was already racing. Had the morning sickness returned? Was she having second thoughts about moving in? He felt a strange surge of protective heat in his chest at the thought of her.Then he heard it.Click. Click. Click.

Chapter 39: Packing Promises

Lauren slammed the wardrobe door shut with a loud thud, then yanked it open again as if the wood had personally offended her. She was sweating, her hair sticking to her forehead in damp curls. Mia sat cross-legged on the sagging mattress, watching the chaos with a smile that was far too knowing.Lauren felt that gaze like a physical heat on her back. She paused, one hand buried deep in a pile of folded tops, then turned slowly. “Say it,” she demanded. “Whatever nonsense is spinning around in that head of yours, just spit it out. And stop looking at me like I’ve just won the lottery.”Mia blinked innocently, though her eyes were dancing. “Ah, what did I do now? Can’t I look at you again?”Lauren rolled her eyes. “You know exactly what you’re doing.”Mia tilted her head, her grin widening. “I just feel like this is the beginning of something beautiful, Laur. If being happy for you is a crime, sue me.”Lauren turned back to the wardrobe. She began pulling out clothes again, folding them

Chapter 40: Stepping Into His World

The song was still stuck in Colt’s head as he parked in front of Lauren’s apartment.Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield.Alex’s off-key, loud voice woke him from sleep at six in the morning. Singing like a madman about new beginnings. Colt had groaned, cursed him out, and hung up, but the damage was done. He hadn’t been able to sleep again.Now it was nine a.m. on a Saturday, and he stood outside her building, hands in his pockets, staring up at the peeling paint and narrow windows.For the first time in a long while, his chest felt light, and he felt excited in a way that scared him a little.This truly felt like a fresh start.He took the stairs two at a time, and when he reached her floor, before he could knock, the door opened, and Lauren stood there, smiling softly and unsure, as if she had been waiting behind it for a while.For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.She stood there in a knee-length peach-colored floral dress that made her blue eyes pop, hugged her waist, and fell ge
