All Chapters of HIS SECRETARY'S SECRET : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Bella PovI was dreaming but it felt so real I couldn't tell the difference. Too real. Too vivid. Too terrifying to be just my imagination.Karen stood directly over me holding a big kitchen knife in her hand. The blade was long and silver and sharp. I was lying flat on some kind of table. My hands were tied down tight with rope. I couldn't move at all no matter how hard I struggled.She smiled down at me with that same evil smile I saw when I caught her in bed with Damian. Cold and mean and victorious."He's mine" she said. Her voice was calm. "He was always mine from the very beginning"She raised the knife high above her head. She aimed the point directly at my stomach. At my baby growing inside me."No" I screamed as loud as I could. "Please don't hurt my baby. Please""Too late for that now" Karen said.The knife came down fast. Moving straight toward my belly where my child was.I woke up screaming. Actually screaming out loud in the dark room. My throat hurt badly from the soun

Karen Pov I sat in my stolen car parked across the street from Damian's penthouse building. I watched through binoculars as police cars surrounded the place. Blue and red lights flashing everywhere. Officers going in and out constantly. All because of me. All because my poison didn't work again.Damian must have tasted the food first. Again. Just like he tasted everything now.I slammed my hands down on the steering wheel hard. The car horn honked loud. I froze immediately. Did anyone hear that. Did anyone notice me sitting here.I waited without breathing. No one turned. No one came running. No one noticed me at all.I needed to be more careful. More calm. But all I could think about was Bella. In that penthouse. Safe. Protected. With Damian taking care of her while I sat out here with absolutely nothing.She had everything I wanted. Everything I worked for. Everything I deserved. Damian. Money. Security. A baby on the way.Meanwhile I had what exactly. A stolen car. A burner phone.

Damian PovI sat in the police station waiting room. My leg bounced up and down. I couldn't sit still. Couldn't stop thinking about the SUV ramming into our car. About Bella screaming. About how close we came to losing everything.A detective came out. Detective Harris. Middle aged man with gray hair."Mr Roberts" he said. "Come with me"I followed him to a small office. He sat behind a desk. I sat across from him."We found evidence" Detective Harris said. He pulled out some photos. "Tire tracks on your car. Paint transfer. We matched it to a black SUV rented three days ago""Who rented it" I asked."It was paid for with a credit card" Detective Harris said. "Belonging to Karen Tyler"Rage exploded in my chest. I slammed my fist on the desk."Arrest her" I said. My voice came out loud. Angry. "Arrest her right now. She tried to murder my pregnant ex wife. She tried to kill our baby""Mr Roberts calm down" Detective Harris said."Calm down" I yelled. I stood up. "She almost killed the

Karen PovI sat in a coffee shop three blocks from Bella's clinic. I ordered an expensive latte and a croissant. I ate slowly. I had time. I wasn't in any hurry.My phone buzzed. A text from the nurse I had contacted. The one who worked at Bella's clinic. The one who had access to the medication room."We need to talk" the text said."Meet me at the coffee shop on Fifth Street" I typed back. "In ten minutes"I finished my latte. I ordered another one. I waited.Ten minutes later the nurse walked in. She was young. Maybe twenty five. She looked nervous. Scared. Perfect.She sat down across from me. She didn't order anything."I can't do this" she said immediately. "What you're asking me to do......it's illegal. It's wrong""I'm not asking" I said. I pulled an envelope out of my purse. I set it on the table. "I'm paying""I could lose my license" the nurse said. "I could go to jail""You could also have five thousand dollars" I said. I pushed the envelope toward her. "Cash. Right now. A

Damian PovI sat in the chair next to Bella's hospital bed. She was finally sleeping. The doctors said they were both stable for now. But Bella had to stay on complete bed rest. No outside food. No pills unless they came directly from the hospital pharmacy. Nothing that could have been tampered with.I pulled out my phone. I called my private investigator. Johnson. The same guy who found Bella's apartment address.He answered on the first ring."Mr Roberts""I need you to find out everything about the vitamins Bella got from her clinic" I said. "Who gave them to her. Where they came from. Everything""What happened" Johnson asked."Someone poisoned them" I said. "Someone contaminated her prenatal vitamins. It almost killed her and the baby""I'm on it" Johnson said. "I'll call you back in an hour"He hung up. I sat there staring at Bella. At the monitors showing her heartbeat. The baby's heartbeat. Both steady. Both alive. For now.My phone rang. Not even thirty minutes later. Johnso
