All Chapters of One pregnancy, two babies : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The morning was quiet, almost deceptively so. The sunlight streamed through the grand windows of the Stones estate, casting gold across the marble floors. May stood near the kitchen island, a cup of coffee warming her hands, while Aria and Aiden laughed over a small puzzle spread across the table. Damien leaned against the counter, watching her, his eyes tracing the line of her jaw, the curve of her neck, the soft strength in her posture.“My grandpa wants to meet with you later,” Damien said quietly.May looked up. “Daxton?”“Yes. Alone.”She exhaled slowly, letting her fingers curl around her cup. “I expected that. He’s… curious. Testing me.”Damien’s expression darkened. “I wish he wouldn’t.”“You think I’m intimidated?” she teased softly, though her pulse quickened slightly. “I’ve faced worse than judgment from a billionaire.”He stepped closer, lowering his voice. “I know you have. But he’s… persistent. He respects strength, yes—but he also tests it. He’s tricky.”May smiled fain

The morning sun filtered gently through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the living room. Aria was perched on the arm of the sofa, coloring with intense concentration, while Aiden was sprawled across the floor, lining up his toy cars in military precision.May sipped her coffee quietly, observing them, a faint smile tugging at her lips. Damien leaned against the doorway, arms crossed, his gaze lingering on her.“They’re growing fast,” he murmured, voice low.“They always do,” May replied softly. “And they notice everything.”Damien’s brow furrowed. “Everything?”“Yes,” May said, eyes flicking toward Aria and Aiden. “Even the little things I try to hide.”Aria looked up suddenly. “Mum, how did you get those papers fixed for my science project? Mr. Connor said he didn’t know how to approve it!”May’s heart stilled slightly, though she kept her smile warm. “Sometimes, I help things along quietly.”Aiden tilted his head, eyes wide. “Like magic?”“Something like that,” she replied, b

The first light of morning barely kissed the city skyline when May arrived at the company. She stepped out of the sleek black car, her heels clicking on the marble floor of the lobby. Employees paused to glance at her—some in admiration, some in quiet envy. But her eyes were set firmly on the path ahead: the boardroom. Today, Evelyn had made her intentions clear with a veiled digital threat, and May knew this was the day confrontation would come.Damien had walked her to the building, but he left her at the doors, a private nod of trust exchanged between them. “Remember,” he whispered, “whatever happens… I’ve got your back.”“I know,” May replied, her lips curving into a confident, calm smile. “Let’s handle this.”The elevator doors closed behind her with a soft chime. She took a deep breath, running through the day’s plan in her mind. Evelyn’s digital manipulations had been subtle so far, but May was ready. S-Coded wasn’t just a skill—it was an art, and today, she intended to show it

The sun had barely begun its climb over the city when May walked through the company lobby, a calm aura surrounding her despite the storm she sensed brewing. Today wasn’t just any day—it was the day Evelyn had chosen to make her presence known publicly.Damien fell into step beside her, his hand brushing hers. “You ready for this?” he asked softly.“I was born ready,” May replied, lips curving in a faint, confident smile. “Besides… we’re stronger together.”He gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. “Always.”The employees in the lobby stole glances as they passed, whispers of admiration and speculation following her elegant stride. May had a presence that demanded attention without demanding it, and today, she needed every bit of it.Inside the boardroom, Evelyn was already waiting, her expression a mask of polished confidence. She had organized a press event under the pretense of a corporate announcement, but everyone present knew her reputation. Her eyes glinted dangerously when she sa

The early morning light spilled through the massive windows of Damien’s company headquarters, reflecting off the polished floors with a brilliance that seemed almost too perfect. But May Austin knew better than to be distracted by appearances. Today, everything could change in a single moment.Evelyn had escalated her plans. She had spent nights analyzing the company’s systems, seeking a way to expose May—not just professionally, but personally. And though she had failed before, May knew that Evelyn’s patience was nothing short of terrifying.Damien fell into step beside her as they walked through the lobby. “You’ve got that look again,” he murmured, his fingers brushing hers. “The one that says you’re about to take names.”May smiled faintly, the calm in her eyes betraying the storm inside. “Evelyn is bold. But she doesn’t know everything. Not yet.”Meanwhile, Daxton’s test loomed over the family. He had sent a cryptic message that morning, instructing that the children’s routines an
