All Chapters of Under the Mistletoe with my Ex's Brother : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

SCARLET'S POV "Does he know?” I managed to ask. “Damian. Does he know about the baby?”“Yes. The paramedics told him at the scene. He’s been here every day.”Of course he knew. Of course he’d found out about the pregnancy I’d been hiding from him by having a doctor tell him while I was unconscious.He must be so angry at me, I'm even surprised he visited me. Maybe that's why he isn't here right now. It was probably easier seeing me unconscious than conscious.I couldn't even blame him no matter how hurt I was. I needed him. I couldn't face the pain alone.“Where is he now?”“I called him when you started showing signs of waking. He should be here soon.”I closed my eyes and tried to process everything.Three weeks in a coma. The baby gone. Jace somewhere without me for three weeks.“I want to see my son,” I said again. “Please. I need to see Jace.”Dr. Rodriguez hesitated. “There’s something else you need to know. About Jace. Perhaps it would be better if Damian—”Oh God! what els

Scarlet's Pov"What?" I almost screamed, but my voice came out as a wheeze.I closed my eyes for a second, and it was at that moment I started to doubt if they were really my parent.Because who in hell would want to hurt their child thus much?Of course my parent would. They'd always been this way.I opened my eyes and looked at him. Really looked at him.He had dark circles under his eyes. His shirt was wrinkled. He looked like he'd been sleeping in that chair for days."You've been here the whole time," I said. "Haven't you?""Mostly. I had to go to the custody hearing and a few emergency board meetings but—" He stopped. "Yes. I've been here.""You look terrible."His mouth twitched slightly. Almost a smile. "You're one to talk."We were both quiet for a moment.Then I remembered something else. Something Dr. Rodriguez had said."The baby," I said quietly.Damian went very still."Dr. Rodriguez told me. Before I had the panic attack. She said I lost the baby.""Yes.""You knew. Bef

Jace's povThe elevator ride down felt like it took forever.Jace stood in the corner hugging his backpack and watching the numbers change. Ten. Nine. Eight.His heart was beating so fast it hurt.What if Daddy Lucas came out of his bedroom and saw Jace was gone? What if he came running after him?Seven. Six. Five.The elevator made a dinging sound at each floor and Jace thought it was the loudest sound in the whole world. Like someone was banging a drum right next to his ear.Four. Three. Two.Finally, the doors opened.The lobby was big and empty and very quiet. The floors were so shiny Jace could see his reflection in them. There was a man sitting at a desk near the front doors but he was looking at his phone and didn't notice Jace at first.Jace walked as quietly as he could toward the big glass doors.His shoes squeaked on the shiny floor.Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.Each sound made him wince, and made him walk slower trying to be quieter.But that just made more squeaks.The man at

Lucas POV The woman's name was Rebecca and she was everything Savannah wasn't.Young. Eager. Impressed by money and power. The kind of woman who didn't ask questions or make demands or expect anything beyond expensive dinners and hotel rooms.She was lying next to me in bed, her blonde hair spread across my pillow, wearing nothing but one of my shirts."You're very quiet," she said, tracing her finger down my chest. "What are you thinking about?""The future," I sai monotonously.It was true. I'd been lying here for the past hour thinking about how perfectly everything was falling into place.Scarlet was in a coma. Probably wouldn't wake up for weeks if she woke up at all. Her parents were draining her accounts and fighting Damian for control. And I had Jace.Temporary custody for now but that would become permanent soon enough.Damian thought he could just waltz into my life and take what was mine. My son. My ex-wife. The family I should have had.But I was going to take it all back

Damian's POV I ended the call and stood there staring at my phone. Lucas didn't have Jace. He'd tried to lie about it. Tried to pretend everything was fine. But I'd heard it in his voice the second I'd asked him to check. Panic. Guilt. Fear. Lucas had lost Jace. My hands were shaking, so I forced myself to take a breath and think clearly. Jace was missing. He probably had been missing since eleven PM last night according to what Lucas had accidentally revealed. That was ten hours ago. A five-year-old boy alone in the city for ten hours. Anything could have happened. I needed to get to Lucas's apartment. I needed to find out exactly what happened. Needed to start searching. But first I had to go back into Scarlet's room and pretend everything was fine. I took another breath and walked back through the door. Scarlet was sitting up slightly in bed looking more alert than she had earlier. The color was coming back to her face. Her eyes were clearer. She looked at me and smile
