HARPER:

I should leave. The thought came to me… the only thing that kept my feet rooted to the spot were the questions that kept on repeating inside my head, who took Ethan’s picture? Who dared use my son against me?

That photograph wasn’t random. It wasn’t a coincidence. Someone had been watching us… Ethan and until I knew who and why, I wasn’t going anywhere.

After waiting for long hours and my thoughts seeming to drown me, I decided to inspect the room. The living room took up most of

    HARPER:I was frozen on his lap, my heart hammering so hard I could barely breathe. His hands were still on my waist, warm and steady and I could feel every inch of him beneath me. "Liam," I managed, my voice cracking. "What are you doing?" The corner of his lips turned up with amusement. "Relax, Harper. You are shaking. I'm not going to hurt you.""Then what is this?" I asked, trying to push away from him but his grip tightened. "This is me making sure you remember that you're not doing this alone." His voice held a particular warmth that made my chest soften. "You came for help, and I'm giving it. But I need you to understand something."I stared at him, my mind racing. "This is just another one of your schemes. Another way to manipulate me into working with you.""Maybe." He shrugged, unbothered. "But that doesn't mean it's not true." "What do you want from me, Liam?" I demanded. My eyes trailed down his throat and my treacherous self gulped, taking in the sight. But I recover

  • Dear Ex-Husband, Your Heirs Are Mine!    64. A Plan

    HARPER:I lowered myself into the chair across from Liam's desk, my hands clasped tightly in my lap. The leather was cool beneath me, the office silent except for the distant hum of the city outside. I closed my eyes and let out a breath, prepping myself for the words that were about to come out of my mouth. I was going to be vulnerable in front of Liam which wasn't something that was easy to me. I could only talk about what I was going to my friends but if I needed Liam's help, I needed to tell him everything. Liam watched me patiently. He didn't push, didn't demand. I was thankful for it. He just sat there, waiting, giving me the space I needed to find my voice. "I... I gave birth to twins," I finally blurted out, the words tumbling out in a rush. "Ethan and Elias. They're brothers. Identical."Liam's eyes narrowed. He tried to keep his expression blank but I saw it before he could hide it, a flicker of emotion in his eyes. Surprise, maybe or understanding. "The question you as

  • Dear Ex-Husband, Your Heirs Are Mine!    63. Seduction

    HARPER:The secretary's face had gone completely white. Her hand was still pressed against her cheek where I'd slapped her, but all the fury had drained out of her, replaced by pure, unadulterated terror."Mr. Russo, I'm so sorry," she stammered, her voice trembling. "I had no idea. She didn't say...I didn't know...""Save it." Liam's voice was cold, dismissive. "I don't want to hear your excuses. Just go."The secretary scurried away, her colleagues following close behind, their faces pale with fear. I watched them go, a small part of me taking satisfaction in the horror on their faces.But the satisfaction didn't last. Because I had bigger worries on my mind.Liam turned to me, his expression softening. "Come on. Let's go to my office." He led us down a long corridor, past glass-walled offices and busy employees. Ethan walked beside me, his hand still clutching mine, his eyes wide as he took in the sleek, modern surroundings."Your office is really big," Ethan whispered, his voice

    HARPER:The secretary's smirk was infuriating especially the way the three of them were looking at me like I was something they'd scraped off their shoes, their eyes dripping with contempt.My hands curled into fists at my sides. I was sure my knuckles had turned white. The disrespect was too much. I mean... If I had his number, I would have surely called him. I stared flatly at the lady standing in the middle whose blue eyes was staring me down. "You should be the one calling him. Not me."She scoffed. I crossed my hands around my chest, waiting for her to pick up the phone an placed the call but she only dragged her chair forward and continued doing whatever she was doing. My eyebrows raised. "Are you going to call him or not?" I demanded, my voice sharper than I intended. "Or are you just going to sit there and waste my time?"She whipped her hair back and looked at her other friends with disbelief, clearly surprised by my audacity. "Excuse me?""You heard me." I leaned forward

    HARPER:Daniel sat in his office, papers and files cluttered around the table with a laptop in front of him. Ethan was sprawled on the floor beside him, coloring with fierce concentration, his tongue poking out slightly.The scene was so normal, that it made my chest ache.I stood in the doorway for a moment, watching them. Daniel was typing something, his brow furrowed, while Ethan chattered away about spaceships and something about a robot that could eat vegetables.I held in a laugh. Daniel nodded along, making small sounds of amazement, even though I could tell he wasn't really listening."Hey," I said softly, stepping into the room.Daniel looked up, a smile spreading across his face. "Hey. You ready to go?""Almost." I walked toward him, my hands shoved into my pockets. "I wanted to talk to you about something first."He raised an eyebrow, setting down his laptop. "What's up?"I hesitated, the words catching in my throat. Then I just blurted it out. "You're not interested in R

    HARPER:I woke to the sound of someone moving through the apartment. For a moment, I was disoriented, my mind still foggy with sleep. Then I felt the weight of Ethan's small body pressed against my side, his breathing slow and even.The memories came flooding back. Elias. The hospital. Alexander's cruel words. The promise I'd made to myself to fight for my son.I squeezed my eyes shut, willing the thoughts away. But they wouldn't leave. They never left.The door creaked open, and Ross poked her head in. Her red hair was a wild mess, her eyes bright with energy."Good morning, sleeping beauty," she said, her voice low so she wouldn't wake Ethan. "I let myself in."I blinked, sitting up slowly. "What time is it?""Almost nine. You were out cold."I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the exhaustion. I hadn't slept well. I never slept well anymore. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Elias's face, pale and still. I heard the machines beeping, the ventilator hissing. I felt the terror of a
