Chapter 41: The Protector’s Vow

Bella stayed in Mikhail’s arms long after he kissed her stomach. She could still feel the warmth of his lips there. His hand rested on her belly like he was trying to protect the baby already. She ran her fingers through his hair and tried to breathe normally.“I still can’t believe it,” she said softly.Mikhail lifted his head and looked at her. His eyes were different now. Softer, but also sharper. Like he had something new to fight for.“Neither can I,” he said. “But it’s real. You’re carrying my child.”He sat up and pulled her with him. His hand never left her stomach. “Things are going to change. Starting right now.”Bella frowned. “What do you mean?”“You’re not leaving this penthouse without guards. Not even for a minute. Viktor will pick three men. They stay with you everywhere.”She sat up straighter. “Mikhail, that’s too much. I already feel like I can’t breathe sometimes.”He shook his head. “I almost lost you twice. I’m not risking it again. Not with our baby inside you.”

Chapter 42: Cradle of Fire

Bella woke up gasping. Her heart pounded so hard it felt like it would break through her ribs. In the dream she had been running through a dark hallway. Gunshots echoed everywhere. She held her stomach, trying to protect the baby, but blood was already soaking through her shirt. She screamed for Mikhail but he never came.She sat up fast in bed. Tears ran down her face. Her hands went straight to her belly like she needed to make sure the baby was still there.Mikhail woke up instantly. He sat up and pulled her into his arms before she could even speak.“Hey,” he said softly. “I’ve got you. Breathe.”She buried her face in his chest. Her whole body shook. “I lost the baby. In the dream. There was blood and I couldn’t find you and—”“Shh.” He rubbed her back in slow circles. “It was just a dream. Our baby is safe. You’re safe. I’m right here.”She cried harder. The fear felt so real. “What if something happens? What if Rossi—”Mikhail held her tighter. “Nothing is going to happen. I wo

Chapter 43: Leaked Whispers

Bella stayed curled against Mikhail’s chest. His words still hung in the air between them. *Then let me be scared for both of us.* She closed her eyes and tried to believe it. His hand rested on her stomach like he was already protecting the baby. She placed her hand over his. For a moment, everything felt okay.They fell asleep like that. Tangled together. Safe.The next morning, Bella woke up alone. The bed was still warm where Mikhail had been. She stretched slowly and touched her stomach again. The nausea was there, but lighter today. She smiled a little. Maybe things were getting better.She got up, pulled on one of his shirts, and walked to the kitchen. Coffee was already made. She poured a cup and stood by the window, looking out at the city.Mikhail came in a few minutes later. His face was tight.“Morning,” she said.He walked over and kissed her forehead. “Morning. How do you feel?”“Better,” she said. “Still tired, but okay.”He nodded, but his mind was somewhere else. She

Chapter 44: The Doctor’s Visit

Mikhail stared at the drone footage on his tablet. “They know where you sleep now. Someone inside my house is feeding them.”Bella’s hand instinctively went to her stomach. She felt the small curve there, still hidden under her shirt. The words made her chest tight. She looked up at him.“What do we do?” she asked.Mikhail put the tablet down. He pulled her closer, one arm around her shoulders. “First, we make sure you and the baby are okay. I called the doctor. She’s coming here today. Private. No one else knows.”Bella nodded. She was glad he was taking control, but part of her still felt scared. “Okay.”A few hours later, the doctor arrived. She was a quiet woman in her fifties with kind eyes. Mikhail had her brought up through the private elevator. No one else saw her.They went into one of the spare rooms Mikhail had turned into a small medical space. A bed, some machines, and an ultrasound setup.The doctor smiled at Bella. “Let’s take a look.”Mikhail helped Bella lie down. He

Chapter 45: Father in Chains

Mikhail stood by the window for a long time after he said those words. His hand stayed on Bella’s stomach. She could feel the weight of everything he wasn’t saying. The war. The baby. Her father. All of it.“I think it’s time,” he said finally.Bella looked up at him. “Time for what?”“To talk to your father. He’s been in The Vault for days. He says he has information. I want you there when I ask him.”She felt her stomach twist. “You want me to see him like that? Locked up?”Mikhail nodded. “You need to hear it from him. All of it. No more secrets between us.”She thought about the video on the USB drive. The way her father took the money. The way he sold her again. Her hands started shaking.“Okay,” she said. “I’ll go.”They went down together. The elevator felt colder than usual. Mikhail held her hand the whole way. When the doors opened, two guards stood waiting. They walked ahead without saying anything.The Vault smelled like metal and fear. Bella’s steps slowed as they got clos

Chapter 46: The Shipment Strike

Mikhail stood in the war room looking at the map on the table. Viktor and two other men waited for orders. Bella’s father sat in a chair against the wall, hands still cuffed.“Your information better be good,” Mikhail said to him.The older man nodded. “The shipment comes in tonight. East docks. Warehouse twelve. Rossi will be there himself. He wants to oversee the guns personally.”Mikhail looked at Viktor. “We hit hard. Take everything. Leave nothing.”Viktor nodded. “Teams are ready.”Bella stood near the door. Her hands rested on her stomach. She felt sick with worry.“I want to come,” she said.Mikhail turned to her. “No. You stay here. In the safe room. Guards stay with you the whole time.”“What if something happens to you?”He walked over and took her face in both hands. “Nothing will happen. I promise.”She looked up at him. “You better come back.”He kissed her forehead. “I always do.”They left an hour later. Bella watched from the window until the cars disappeared into the

Chapter 47: The Red Herring

Bella stayed wrapped around Mikhail on the couch for a long time. His face stayed buried in her neck. She ran her fingers through his hair and held him close.“You’re really okay?” she asked quietly.He nodded against her skin. “I’m okay. Just tired.”She kissed the side of his head. “Then rest. I’ll stay right here.”They stayed like that until his phone buzzed on the table. Mikhail sat up slowly and checked the screen. His face changed.“What is it?” Bella asked.“Viktor found something,” he said. “I need to go downstairs.”She watched him get dressed. The bandage on his arm still looked fresh. She hated seeing him leave again so soon.“Be careful,” she said.He kissed her once more. “Always.”Down in the war room, Viktor waited with a tablet in his hand. Two other men stood nearby.Mikhail walked in. “Talk.”Viktor held out the tablet. “We pulled the phone records from the last leak. Someone sent messages to a known Rossi number. The phone belongs to one of our own.”Mikhail took t

Chapter 48: Doubt in the Dark

Mikhail lowered the gun slowly. He didn’t put it away. He just stared at Viktor for a long time.“Get out,” he said finally.Viktor didn’t move right away. “Boss—”“I said get out. Stay in the east wing until I decide what to do with you.”Viktor looked at Bella once. Then he nodded and walked out of the room without another word.The door closed behind him.Bella turned to Mikhail. “You can’t treat him like that. He’s been loyal to you for years.”Mikhail put the gun on the table. “The messages came from his phone. I can’t ignore that.”“Someone planted them,” she said. “You know that.”He rubbed a hand over his face. “I don’t know anything anymore.”Bella stepped closer. “You’re pushing away the one person who’s always had your back. That’s what the real traitor wants.”Mikhail looked at her. His eyes looked tired. “You don’t understand. If I trust the wrong person, you and the baby could die. I can’t take that risk.”She reached for his hand. “Then trust me. I’m telling you Viktor

Chapter 49: The Breaking Point

Bella woke up feeling sick again. Her stomach rolled hard before she even opened her eyes. She sat up fast and ran to the bathroom. She barely made it to the toilet before she threw up.Mikhail followed her. He held her hair back with one hand and rubbed her back with the other.“Easy,” he said. “I’ve got you.”She heaved again. Tears stung her eyes. When it finally stopped, she sat on the cold floor and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.“I hate this,” she said.Mikhail wet a washcloth and cleaned her face. “It’s normal. The doctor said it would pass.”“It’s not just the sickness,” she said. “It’s everything. The guards. The locked doors. You treating me like I’m made of glass.”He helped her stand up. “I’m protecting you.”She pulled away from him. “You’re smothering me. I can’t even walk to the kitchen without someone following me.”Mikhail’s face hardened. “You are carrying my child. Rossi wants both of you. I’m not taking chances.”“I’m not a child,” she said. Her voice r

Chapter 50: Taken in the Night

Bella lay in Mikhail’s arms after the fight and the makeup sex. Her body still felt warm from him. He held her close, one hand resting on her stomach like he always did now.“I meant what I said,” he whispered. “I won’t shut you out again.”She nodded against his chest. “I know.”They stayed quiet for a while. Then his phone buzzed on the nightstand.Mikhail checked it. “Viktor needs me downstairs. Something about the east side crews. I won’t be long.”Bella sat up a little. “Do you have to go?”“Yes. But the guards are outside the door. You’re safe.”He kissed her forehead, then her lips. Soft. Careful.“I’ll be right back,” he said.She watched him get dressed and leave. The door clicked shut behind him.Bella stayed in bed for a few minutes. Then she got up and put on one of his shirts. She walked to the window and looked out at the city lights. Her hand rested on her belly.“We’re okay,” she whispered to the baby. “Your daddy will protect us.”The lights flickered once.Then every
