Chloe Bishop didn't know how long she stayed under the water. Finally, she let go of herself, leaning limply against the cold tile wall. She hugged her reddened, scrubbed-raw body and slowly slid down to the floor.It's okay, Chloe. At least Xavier Grayson is still alive.He will come back for me. He will...Out in the kitchen, Seth Rollins stood holding the blood-stained knife, turning it over in his hand. His handsome face was twisted with cruelty and malice.The phone rang again. He let it ring, let it grow urgent.It rang over and over, but Seth Rollins never answered. After a few minutes, it finally stopped.He looked at the darkened screen and furrowed his brow.He knew Xavier Grayson wouldn't sit idly by. It looked like he'd have to take Chloe away ahead of schedule.Seth Rollins pulled out his own phone and dialed a number."Mr. Rollins.""Has Xavier Grayson boarded his plane?" Seth Rollins asked.The voice on the other end answered promptly, "Xavier Grayson's private jet from

She turned and walked to the shower, wrenching the showerhead off with all her strength.But before five minutes were up, Seth Rollins was already back.He stopped outside the bathroom door. "Chloe, come out."Chloe Bishop didn't answer. She could hear the sound from the rooftop—the roar of a helicopter landing.She couldn't be taken away. If she left, she might never return to New York City again.She gripped the stainless steel showerhead tightly, beads of sweat forming on her smooth forehead. "Wait a moment—I haven't finished dressing yet.""How long?" Seth Rollins asked.She made up a number. "Three minutes."Seth Rollins had been living in this apartment—it wouldn't be hard to track down. Xavier Grayson's people should arrive soon.There was a helicopter on the rooftop, so conspicuous that Xavier Grayson's men would surely guess Seth Rollins was planning to take her away. As long as she didn't board that aircraft, she still had a chance.But this time, Seth Rollins wasn't feeling

Seth Rollins's answer filled Chloe Bishop with despair. Her grip on his hand slowly loosened, and she tugged at her pale lips with a bitter smile. "Right. Of course you wouldn't take me to the hospital."With that, she closed her eyes and silently screamed Xavier Grayson's name in her heart: Xavier Grayson... Xavier Grayson, where are you? Why haven't you come back yet?But deep down, she knew better than anyone—Xavier Grayson wasn't coming.He had boarded his plane around noon yesterday. The fastest flight would take at least thirteen hours just to reach the other side—and that didn't include layovers or ground transfers. The return trip alone would take twenty-six hours.And that was assuming he had already settled things over there.It was now the second day at noon. Even if Xavier Grayson had wings, he couldn't make it back in time.She clutched the fabric over her abdomen tightly, praying to heaven with all her heart: Please protect my baby. Let this child be safe. I would trade

Seth Rollins reached out and covered Chloe Bishop's ears, shielding her from the harsh words. His expression remained blank as he said to the pilot, "Take off."Jack's voice rang out again. "Seth Rollins, do you really think you can still leave? Take a look around you."One by one, the helicopter doors opened, revealing familiar faces. The men inside Seth Rollins's aircraft went pale and turned to look at him.Those familiar faces belonged to brothers who had once fought alongside Seth Rollins—and now, every one of them had a gun pressed to their head.Their lives hung entirely on Seth Rollins's choice.Jack continued, "If you dare leave, they will be executed in secret—on charges of treason.""Seth..." The men looked at him with anxious eyes.Those captives were their comrades, their brothers-in-arms. They couldn't abandon them.Just then, another voice came from a different helicopter. "Seth Rollins, the passenger plane you chartered—Flight XXX—has been surrounded by our people. You

What did that mean?Miss Bishop was pregnant?And judging by how protective Seth Rollins was acting—was the child his?A flicker of unease passed through Finch's eyes, but he quickly replied coldly, "No need for your concern, Mr. Rollins. We'll take good care of Chloe."With that, he helped Chloe Bishop board the helicopter.Finch turned back to look at Seth Rollins. Jack spoke up. "What, are you still expecting me to give you an explanation?"Finch smiled. "Wouldn't dare. But our boss asked me to pass along a message: those five deaths at the abandoned factory were your son's doing. If the authorities dig too deep into this, the Rollins family might find itself in a rather difficult position."Jack's face darkened. "Is he threatening me?""Wouldn't dare." Finch smiled again. "Our boss's meaning is simple—Mr. Rollins needs to leave New York City. Otherwise, this matter won't end cleanly."Ignoring how dark Jack's expression had grown, Finch gave a slight bow and kept his smile in plac

Seth Rollins's voice kept echoing in his ears:"Actually, Chloe has been my woman for a long time.""She's been complaining about stomach pains twice now—she might be carrying my child."These words hammered through Xavier Grayson's mind like sharp needles, piercing into his skull until his thoughts buzzed with a deafening ringing.When he and Chloe Bishop were together, he had never considered having a child. He had always taken precautions...Why was she pregnant?Pregnancy... the child—whose child was it, really?"Boss?"Finch's voice trembled with unease as he took in his boss's ashen expression.Could it be that Miss Bishop's baby really wasn't his?"Get out."Xavier Grayson pulled the ultrasound report from the folder, his voice glacial.Finch's heart ached at the dark circles under his boss's eyes, but he dared not say a word. He withdrew silently.Xavier Grayson glanced at the ultrasound sheet, then sat down by the hospital bed.Chloe Bishop was not resting well. Her brow was

Xavier Grayson sat by the bed for a long time. He knew she was awake, and she knew that he knew. Yet neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was suffocating, heavy enough to crush them both.Women were creatures of deep emotion. Before she could stop herself, tears began spilling from the corners of Chloe Bishop's eyes. Crystal droplets slipped down her temples, one after another, disappearing into her hair.Xavier Grayson reached out stiffly and wiped the tears away.But her tears seemed endless—the more he wiped, the more they fell.His brow furrowed deeper. He leaned down and kissed away each tear, his voice hoarse with pain. "Don't cry."Those two words shattered Chloe Bishop's composure entirely. She threw her arms around his neck, buried her face against his shoulder, and sobbed openly.The sound of her weeping cut through Xavier Grayson's heart like a blade. His voice grew even rougher. "I'm sorry. I came back too late."Chloe Bishop bit her lip hard, terrified of wailing out lou

So he wanted to terminate this child?Every word of her explanation just now—he hadn't listened to a single one. He hadn't believed a single one.Chloe Bishop bit her lip so hard she nearly drew blood. Finally, she looked at him and asked, "Xavier Grayson, why did you go to the Misty Forest?"Xavier Grayson stared at her in silence. He had no idea why she would suddenly ask such a question.When no answer came, she pressed further. "Do you love me?"He only looked at her. Still no answer.Chloe Bishop laughed, a hollow, bitter sound. "You can't even say the word 'love.' Maybe you should think carefully about whether it's that you don't love me, or that you just don't love me enough."Xavier Grayson asked, "You want to keep this child?"She wanted to give birth to Seth Rollins's baby? Then what about him?What was he supposed to do?Chloe Bishop did not answer. But the look in her eyes—empty, deeply disappointed—frightened him.Xavier Grayson did not know what else to say. Maybe she th

Chloe couldn't help but think of Lucian Grayson and Lana Rose. Her situation was just like Lana's back then—the only difference was that she and Seth Rollins had never gone all the way.But Xavier Grayson didn't believe her. He thought she was already tainted.And it had happened so soon after their divorce—otherwise, why would he immediately assume the child was Seth Rollins's and so readily tell her to get rid of it?As time dragged on and Xavier Grayson remained silent, Chloe's body grew colder. The chill spread from her heart to her limbs. Her hand unconsciously drifted to her still-flat abdomen.She guessed that right now, Xavier Grayson was probably wondering how she could have gotten pregnant despite taking the pill. He must be calculating the odds of such a thing happening—and why it had to happen to her."Nothing happened between Seth Rollins and me. Not before. Not this time either."She had repeated those words to him again, yet they still hadn't won back a single shred of

After hanging up, his mind had gone blank for a long time.He admitted it—he couldn't accept such a reality.While he hated his own powerlessness, a thorn had taken root in his heart. Invisible, but lodged firmly between him and her.He wanted to tell her, "It doesn't matter." But he couldn't. Because deep down, a voice kept telling him—it does matter."Get some rest. I'll be right outside."Xavier Grayson still walked out. Staring at the empty room, Chloe Bishop closed her eyes in sorrow.She had called out for him a thousand times, and finally he had returned. Yet now that he was by her side, her heart felt emptier than ever.Once outside, Xavier Grayson looked at Finch, who was guarding the door, and asked, "Do you have any cigarettes?""Yes."Finch immediately pulled out a pack.Xavier Grayson took it and headed toward the end of the corridor. A man who had never been much of a smoker, he now drew one puff after another. Soon, he was engulfed in a haze of smoke, and by his leather
