Все главы After He Let Me Fall : Глава 141 - Глава 150

NYLA “Doctor! Somebody please she just….she fainted!” The words came out of me louder than I expected, response stormed the hallway almost immediately, and within seconds, footsteps approached fast, voices overlapping, the soft but urgent efficiency of nurses who had done this a hundred times but still treated it like it mattered every single time. “Step back for me, please be careful with the baby,” Yes, I’ve got her.” Hands moved around us, one nurse easing Marisol back properly onto the bed while another guided my arms with gentleness so I didn’t jostle the small, warm weight I was still holding without fully understanding how I had ended up holding it. “I’ve got you,” Kael’s voice came low beside me. “I didn’t even—she just looked at me and then she fainted.” I stopped, because explaining it felt pointless when it had happened so fast. “You don’t need to explain anything right now,” he said quietly. “Just stay where you are, you’re fine.” “I’m holding someone else

EVANSThe phone had been ringing long enough to become unbearable, a constant reminder of everything I was about to lose if I didn’t move.“Are you going to keep staring at it,” Mia said with the tone I knew too well, “or are you finally going to admit that you don’t actually have the courage to walk out on me?”“I don’t need courage to do what should have been done a long time ago,” I replied, lifting my gaze to hers, my tone steadier than I felt. “What I need is for you to stop standing in my way and let me leave without turning this into something worse than it already is.”“Worse?” she let out a quiet laugh, stepping closer instead of backing down. “You think this isn’t already as bad as it gets? You think you choosing her over me, after everything, is something that can still get worse?”“This isn’t about choosing her over you,” I said, shaking my head, even though I knew she wouldn’t accept that answer. “This is about me choosing my child, choosing to be present, choosing not

NYLA"Kael, are you sure? Or are you just doing this because of the baby?" I asked, my stomach did flips."Nyla, in all sincerity, I have never been more sure of anything in my life. Please, marry me." "Are you kidding me? Yes! I will marry you!" I said. Everything else I could have said felt too small for the moment and too large for my voice to carry without breaking completely. Kael looked up at me from one knee and he released a breath he had been holding since he got down and he slid the ring onto my finger and stood and pulled me into him in one motion and I went willingly and held on and we stayed like that while the string lights burned around us and neither of us said anything. Then I pulled back and looked at the ring on my finger and looked at him and laughed. "What's funny?" he said turning my back to his chest. "Nothing." I looked up at him. "You got down on one knee at six in the morning and you still managed to make it the most ridiculous and perfect thing that

NYLA "Regardless of this, it won't spoil our moment." Kael spoke up first after the photo. "Hey, we are still headed to the hotel," He informed his assistant and the driver nodded The hotel room door had barely clicked shut before Kael's hands found my waist and spun me around. "We have a few hours to ourselves" His voice was gravel, eyes dark in a way that had nothing to do with the bad news and everything to do with me. "Then stop wasting it." He kissed me hard, it wasn't the sweet, careful kind he'd given me when I said yes on that rooftop. This was different, it was hunger that had been sitting behind his head all morning, finally let loose. I grabbed the lapels of his jacket and shoved it off his shoulders and he laughed against my mouth, low and rough. "I can see you have been impatient," he murmured. "You proposed to me three hours ago and I've barely touched you since." I pulled back just enough to meet his eyes. "I've been very patient, Kael." Something

NYLAThe first thing I noticed when I woke up was the silence. I stayed still beneath the sheets, staring at the pale gold sunlight coming through the curtains while my body slowly caught up with consciousness. My hand moved instinctively across the bed beside me. It was empty, Kael wasn't back.A tiny knot formed in my stomach before I could stop it. I pushed myself upright quickly, scanning the suite as if he might somehow appear from thin air. The bathroom light was off, I didn't hear running water or movement from the sitting area.“Kael?” My voice came out rough from sleep.There wasn't any answer, he wasn't in the bathroom.I exhaled slowly and rubbed at my face, trying not to let the uneasiness settle too deep. He’d told me there were still things he needed to handle. Even though he knew the authorities would handle Grimes, he still wanted to tie all loose ends, contact some people. Problems that wouldn’t disappear just because we wanted one quiet night together.Still,
