FOURTY ONE

The heavy mahogany door of the secondary guest suite clicked shut behind us, cutting off the sharp, tense atmosphere of the main foyer.I stood in the center of the quiet room, my hands shaking so violently that I had to clasp them together against my chest. The suite was luxurious—decorated in cool grey silk, plush velvet sofas, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the misty city skyline—but it felt like a gilded prison.Rochelle set Daisy's carrier gently onto the soft armchair. She turned to me, her eyes burning with pure outrage."I cannot believe him!" Rochelle shouted in a harsh whisper, pacing back and forth across the thick rug. "He just stood there and let those two vipers disrespect you! After everything you went through for him last night?! He told you to go to the guest room like you're some servant!""Rochelle, please... quiet," I whispered weakly, sitting down on the edge of the large bed. My body felt completely drained, a heavy, familiar ache returning to my chest.

FOURTY TWO

The sound of his voice through the thick wooden door sent a violent shockwave straight through my chest.Max.How had he found me? Rochelle swore she hadn't told a soul. This cottage belonged to my late grandmother, registered under a forgotten maiden name that Jeffrey didn't even know existed. Yet here he was, standing on the creaky wooden porch in the middle of a dark, rain-drenched forest two hours away from the city.I held the heavy brass fireplace poker tightly in my hand, my knuckles turning white. "Go away, Max," I called out, forcing my voice to sound cold and unyielding. "Go back to Alice and your mother. You got what you wanted.""Leslie, please!" Max pleaded, slamming his palm against the door. The sheer desperation in his tone was terrifying—there was no trace of the cold, arrogant billionaire CEO. "Open the door! Let me explain! You don't understand what happened in that study!""I heard everything I needed to hear!" I shouted back, tears burning the backs of my eyes. "I

The sudden color drain from my face sent Max into an immediate state of high alert."Logan! Get the car!" Max bellowed over the balcony railing, his voice echoing across the quiet seaside estate before he had even fully processed what was happening.Within seconds, he had scooped me up into his arms, carrying me down the grand marble staircase toward the waiting luxury SUV. My heart was pounding like a frantic drum against my ribs. The sharp, strange warmth in my lower abdomen had dulled into a faint, thrumming pulse, but the terrifying memory of the toxin from weeks ago flashed vividly through my mind."Is it the compound again?" Max asked frantically, his knuckles white as he gripped my hand in the back seat while Logan sped down the highway toward the private medical center. "Did Dr. Harrison miss a lingering chemical trace?!""I don't know, Max," I whimpered, clutching my stomach with both hands. "It didn't feel like the poison... it felt different. But it hit so fast!"When we bu

The cold night air on the balcony felt as if it had instantly turned into sharp ice.I stared at the photograph in Max's trembling hand. The red laser dot was centered perfectly over baby Daisy's chest as she slept peacefully in her white wooden crib back at our coastal estate."No..." I gasped, a horrific, suffocating wave of nausea washing over me so fast my knees buckled. "No, no, no! Daisy! Max, Daisy!"Max caught me before I hit the floor, his broad arm wrapping around my waist like an iron bar, but his face was completely drained of color. His dark grey eyes were wide with a wild, terrifying fury I had never seen before—not even when he was fighting for my life at the docks."Logan!" Max roared, his deep voice slicing through the evening music drifting from the ballroom inside.The balcony door burst open instantly, and Logan stepped out, holding his phone to his ear. "Max, what's wrong—"Max shoved the photograph directly into Logan's chest. "Call the house security team right

FOURTY FIVE

The screech of heavy rubber against wet asphalt shattered the quiet night as our armored SUV skidded to a complete halt just twenty feet away from Carla.The headlights cut through the thick rain, illuminating her pale, rain-drenched face. Carla looked completely unhinged—her dark hair plastered against her head, her signature expensive scarf replaced by a ragged black coat, her eyes wild, hollow, and burning with a terrifying, crazy light. In her right hand, raised high above her head, was a small black plastic box with a glowing red LED light and a clear trigger switch.A detonator."Don't move!" Logan bellowed into his tactical radio, his hand dropping to the heavy pistol strapped to his chest. "All vehicles, hold position! Do not exit the cars!"Inside the SUV, I clutched my pregnancy bump, my breath coming in short, panicked gasps. "Carla... oh my god, Max, that's Carla!"Max didn't utter a single word. He moved with cold, terrifying precision, sliding his arm around my shoulders

The words hit me harder than the storm outside. Arthur was alive. For several seconds, I could not move. My hand remained over my pregnancy bump while Max stood beside me, his face hardening as he stared at Logan."How long ago?" Max asked."Five minutes since the satellite confirmed the jet entered Minnesota airspace," Logan replied. "We lost the signal after that. The aircraft may have landed somewhere already."I looked down at Daisy. She was still smiling at us from my arms, completely unaware that the man who had caused so much pain in our lives was coming back. My stomach tightened."Max," I whispered, "he knows where we live."Max's eyes immediately moved to me. "No." His voice was calm, but I knew that tone. It was the voice he used when he was trying to control something dangerous. "He doesn't know where you are going to be," Max continued. "Because you are not leaving my side."I swallowed hard. "What if he comes for Daisy?"Max stepped closer and placed one hand over my bum

FOURTY SEVEN

The gunfire came so suddenly that I barely had time to scream. Max grabbed me and pulled me down against the floor, covering my body with his own as bullets tore through the hallway. Glass shattered behind us, and pieces scattered across the marble floor. I wrapped both arms around my pregnancy bump, terrified that one wrong movement could hurt my baby. "Stay down!" Max shouted. His body was pressed over mine, and I could hear his heart beating hard. "I'm here," I whispered. "I'm here." Logan fired from behind the marble column, forcing Arthur's men to retreat. "We need to move!" he shouted. "The safe room!" Max looked at me. "Can you walk?" I nodded. "Then stay behind me." He pulled me up and kept one arm around me as we moved through the hallway. Rochelle was already carrying Daisy toward the hidden security room. My little girl was crying, and hearing her cry made my chest hurt. I wanted to take her, but Max wouldn't let me leave his side. Another bullet struck the wall beside us.

The room was quiet after the camera hit the floor. Max stood between me and the door while Logan inspected the broken device. Rochelle held Daisy close, whispering to her until she stopped crying. I sat on the couch with the medical file resting on my lap. My hands were still shaking. "Leslie," Dr. Harrison said gently, "we need to talk about this." I looked at him. "Tell me everything you know." He sat across from me. "I don't know everything. That's the problem. These records were deliberately hidden." Max came and sat beside me. His hand found mine. "Then we'll uncover the rest." I opened the file again. There were pages about my childhood, hospital visits, blood tests and treatments. Some of the dates were familiar, but the reasons for the appointments were completely different from what I had been told. "My parents knew?" I asked. Dr. Harrison was quiet for a moment. "It appears your father signed several documents." My heart hurt. "Why would he do that to me?" "I don't know." I

The rain had stopped by the time Max and I reached the hospital where I was born, but the dark night sky remained heavy with grey clouds. Cold wind blew through the quiet parking lot as Max helped me get out of the black SUV. My bump felt heavy, and every small movement reminded me of the child growing inside me. Max held my hand tightly, his fingers warm against my cold skin. Logan and four armed guards walked around us in a tight circle, keeping their eyes on every corner of the street. Everything felt tense. Every sound, from the rustling of wet tree leaves to a car engine in the distance, made my heart beat faster.We walked into the back doors of St. Jude Memorial Hospital. The basement level was dim, smelling strongly of old bleach, damp concrete, and rusted iron pipes. This part of the hospital had been locked away for over fifteen years. Dust hung thick in the air, dancing in the yellow beams of our flashlights. My shoes made soft tapping noises on the worn floor tiles as we f

The drive back to the estate was completely silent. The heavy rain had returned, beating hard against the black windows of the SUV. Max kept one arm firmly around my shoulders, his thumb softly stroking my arm to calm my shaking nervous system. In my lap, I held the old leather notebook we had found inside the box. I was afraid to open it, yet I knew I couldn't run from what was written inside.When we finally arrived back home, the estate was on maximum security alert. Bright floodlights washed over the gates, and armed guards stood every ten meters along the perimeter walls. Inside, the grand house felt quiet and solemn. Rochelle brought Daisy down to see us as soon as we stepped through the front doors. When I saw my sweet baby girl's bright face, tears filled my eyes again. I reached out and pulled Daisy into my arms, holding her close against my bump.'Is everything alright, ma'am?' Rochelle asked gently, seeing the pale color of my skin.'We found what we were looking for,' I sa
