Nadia’s POVI spent the entire night staring at the ceiling, unable to silence the thoughts racing through my mind. Every time I closed my eyes, I remembered Dennis's expression when he demanded the DNA test, Jason's determination to claim his son, and the sight of my baby lying in the hospital cot while the medical team monitored his condition. I had imagined motherhood would bring me a sense of happiness and security, but instead, I found myself trapped between two men who were determined to settle their differences at my expense.By morning, my body was aching from exhaustion, and the nurses had begun insisting that I needed to rest if I wanted to recover properly from childbirth. I tried to follow their advice, but sleep remained impossible. My thoughts kept returning to the same question: what would happen when the DNA results confirmed that Jason was the father?I already knew the answer to that question, yet I continued searching for some way to convince myself that things migh

Dennis's POV The last thing I needed was another person interfering with a situation I had spent years keeping under control.I sat in the back of my car outside the hospital, reading Collins's message for the third time. The possibility that someone connected to Norman's childhood investigation had contacted Nadia was troubling, not because I cared about protecting her from whatever consequences she had earned, but because I needed to understand how much this unknown person knew.Norman's lawyers had already located Samuel Cole, and Dr. Malcolm Reed had agreed to cooperate with them. I knew about both developments, although I didn't yet have a complete account of what either man had disclosed. My own sources had been working to establish the extent of the damage, but the information coming in was inconsistent, and I wasn't prepared to make a move based on assumptions.I called Collins."Tell me what you've found.""We traced the number to a prepaid line acquired through an intermedi

Genevieve's POV I had spent the morning reviewing the proposal Dennis intended to present to the Lennox board, and by the time Marissa arrived with the final documents, I had already identified three clauses I wanted challenged before the meeting began.The proposal was presented as a temporary solution to a leadership problem, but its real purpose was obvious. Dennis wanted someone else in my chair, and he wanted the board to believe that my illness made the decision necessary. If I failed to return within the specified period, the interim appointment could become permanent, leaving me to fight my way back into a company I had spent years rebuilding.I wasn't prepared to let him have it."Have the board members received my response?" I asked as Marissa placed the documents on the table beside my bed."Yes. I've also sent them the company's governance provisions and the medical leave policy. Two members have asked for clarification about the deadline, and one wants confirmation that

Genevieve’s POVBy the time Marissa finished reviewing the revised schedule for the following week, I had begun to regret agreeing to handle company matters from my hospital room. Every document seemed to lead to another question, every question required a decision, and every decision reminded me that the people waiting for me to recover were also preparing for the possibility that I might not return to my office anytime soon.I rubbed my temples and pushed the latest report aside.“Tell me honestly, Marissa, how much work is still waiting for me?”She looked at the files scattered across the table before meeting my eyes. “Enough that I would normally advise you to leave everything until tomorrow, but I know you won't listen to me. The legal team has received your instructions concerning Dennis's proposal, and they're preparing the revised governance documents. Two department heads have also requested approval for contracts that cannot be delayed much longer.”“Send the contracts to m

Norman’s POVI had spent most of the morning reviewing documents with Adrian, but my attention kept drifting toward my phone. Genevieve had promised to rest after her difficult morning, and although she had assured me she was feeling better, I knew how easily she could turn a few minutes of work into several hours.I finally sent her a message asking whether she had eaten. Her response came a few minutes later, accompanied by a photograph of an almost empty plate.Happy now? she added.I smiled and typed my reply.I'll be happier when you're resting instead of trying to convince everyone you're perfectly fine.She sent a laughing emoji before telling me to return to work. I put the phone down, feeling slightly more at ease, and turned toward Adrian, who was studying a document on his laptop.“You've been staring at that screen for several minutes,” he observed. “Is there something you want to discuss?”“Not unless you've found something worth discussing.”He gave me a knowing look. “I
