Chapter 431 I’ll lose him forever Two Days Before Claire’s hands went ice-cold the second that DNA test result popped up on her computer screen. Her heart plummeted straight into her stomach like a rock, and all those painful memories from three years ago came flooding back in a massive
Chapter 430 I honestly thought Voren was right A few days earlier… “Leon, are you around? I’m heading over.” Corvine balanced his phone between his shoulder and ear as he opened the rear door of his SUV for Esperanza. The little girl climbed into the backseat without any trouble while
Chapter 429 Esperanza was right. Our trap worked perfectly The tension from that little Jasmine bomb melted fast, but Voren still smirked, dark and possessive. Maybe it was because Jasmine was previously tight with Olivia, but truth be told, he only put up with her ass because Esperanza loved her.
Chapter 716 Mathew: “You think I’m a fool?” Ron remarked, snatching the bottle instead of taking the glass. Apparently, he had realized one glass of wine wouldn’t be enough to wash down the news we had just told him about Madeline’s father. “You two have fucked,” he commented, making my
Chapter 715 Nala: I was still processing everything when I noticed Mathew had walked behind my chair and started untying me. “We need to go stop him,” Mathew said, freeing me. We both grabbed our phones and tried calling Ron for what felt like the hundredth time, but he didn’t
Chapter 430 Jeannine looked at her with quiet respect. “Agreed. I will funnel the support through the Solomon accounts.” “And one more thing,” Eliza said. “I want to see him. Before I go.” “Eliza, he gave strict orders—” “I don’t need to talk to him. I just want to see
Chapter 429 “That was fraudulent,” Jeannine finished for her. “A legal fiction designed to protect you, but not binding. In the eyes of the law, you are still his wife. And as long as you are, you are a target. Dosha can contest his will. And Dallas—” she sighed, “Dallas
Chapter 428 “If she is,” Dosha hissed, leaning forward in her chair, “if that little tramp is carrying a Koch heir — I will make sure it never takes its first breath. Do you hear me? I will cut it out of her myself.” A chill ran down Jeannine’s spine.
Chapter 427 She turned to leave. She would send Eliza away — not to punish her, but to protect the one thing Dallas had left to give the world. She pulled out her phone and dialed. “Weston,” she said. “Initiate Protocol Ghost. We need to disappear someone.” Weston sat in
Chapter 426 And if Dosha knew — Dosha Norton would kill this baby. She would push Eliza down a flight of stairs or tamper with her brakes again. A pregnant Eliza was a walking target. “Lock it down,” Jeannine said. “I beg your pardon?” Evans blinked. “Seal both files,” Jeannine
Chapter 425 “Get them both!” Dr. Evans shouted, breaking the silence. “Code Blue in Bay 1! Hypoglycemic shock in Bay 2! Move!” They wheeled the gurneys side by side down the hall. As they moved, Dallas’s limp hand slipped from the edge of his bed. By some strange chance, it
Chapter 424 She was wearing a baseball cap pulled low and oversized sunglasses, though there was no sun down here. Jeannine’s driver stood by the door, a silent sentinel. “Dr. Evans will be with you shortly, Mrs. Koch,” a nurse said, handing her a clipboard. “Just fill this out.” Eliza
Chapter 423 It was a miracle. It was a tragedy. It was the cruelest joke the universe had ever told. “Eliza?” Jeannine asked sharply. “Are you there?” “I—” Eliza pressed a hand over her mouth to stifle a sob. If she told Jeannine, Jeannine would tell Dallas. And what would
Chapter 422 “What is wrong with me?” she whispered. “Is it the stress? The shock?” She rinsed her mouth and spat. She felt dizzy. Lightheaded. She leaned back against the counter and closed her eyes. Her hand went instinctively to her lower abdomen. It felt heavy. A thought, sharp and
Chapter 421 “Forget him!” Vance shouted. “He’s gone! He’s never going to look at you. He’s never going to touch you. He hates everyone right now.” He leaned in, his breath smelling of expensive scotch. “I’m the one who saved his life tonight, Bella. I’m the one with the power.
Chapter 420 Bella turned slowly. Her makeup ran in black streaks down her face. “Vance,” she chattered. “Please. Just tell me. Is he alive?” “Do you really want to know?” Vance asked. There was something in his tone that made the hair on Eliza’s arms stand up — not the
Chapter 419 Simmons gently but firmly removed her hand. “I cannot disclose that information. It is a secure location.” He looked down at her, and for a split second the granite mask cracked. Something like pity moved behind his eyes. “Boss’s orders, Eliza. He said — ‘Don’t let her see
Chapter 418 “Because I want to be Mrs. Koch,” Yvonne said, dropping the pretense. “And I need a husband who can perform. At least enough to give me an heir.” Dallas looked at her. She was beautiful, ambitious, and completely hollow. She was exactly what he deserved. But he couldn’t
Chapter 417 “Get out,” Dallas rasped. His voice was a ruin, sounding like grinding glass. “Brother,” Vinnie stepped forward, tears streaming down his face. “We just want to help. I didn’t mean to—” “Help?” Dallas laughed. It was a wet, ugly sound. “Help me what? Help me come to terms
Chapter 416 “How is he? Tell me he’s okay. Tell me the drug just… interacted weirdly with his meds.” Vance didn’t push him away. He just looked at Vinnie with eyes that were cold and dead. “That drug was a vasodilator,” Vance said, his voice scraping like sandpaper. “It expands
