"Let me make this incredibly clear to you," I said, stepping directly into her space. I used my height, letting the sheer, intimidating weight of my presence bear down on her. The lingering, predatory edge I had been saving for Miller began to bleed into my voice.

"I don't know if you are simply working the lobby tonight, looking for a deep pocket to pay for your time, or if an old man with a very vested interest in tomorrow's board meeting gave you a retainer to keep me occupied. And frankly,

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   A Special Gift

    Leena gasped, practically scrambling down Tyler's suit jacket like a monkey to snatch the bag from my hands. "Thank you! I'm going to put it on right now! Rosa, look!""Hold your horses, young lady," Mae's warm, commanding voice cut through the driveway chaos from the top of the steps. She walked down slowly, her eyes scanning both Tyler and me with deep, maternal relief before she offered a warm smile. "Let your parents get inside first. They've been crammed in a tin can over the ocean for nine hours."Caleb walked beside Tyler as we headed up the steps, his hands shoved into his pockets in an exact mirror image of his father’s favorite posture. "Dad, I saw on the financial news network that Arthur Miller resigned due to 'sudden health complications.' Did you make him sick?"Tyler shared a quick, intensely amused glance with me over Caleb's head before looking down at his son. "Let's just say he realized the atmosphere at the Rider Group was no longer healthy for his career, Caleb. C

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Together, Henceforth.

    "Are you ready to go back into the cage?" he asked, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that vibrated pleasantly against the quiet cabin air.I smiled, slipping my hand into his, letting the absolute solidity of his grip anchor my sudden, fluttering nerves. "I'm not the same person who left this city, Tyler. They can't cage someone who knows how to open the door."Tyler’s lips twitched into a rare, deeply proud smirk. He pulled me up from my seat, his arm wrapping around my waist for a brief, possessive second before we walked toward the exit. The cabin doors swung open, and the humid, heavy New York summer air rushed in to greet us, carrying the familiar scents of aviation fuel, asphalt, and ambition.Alan, Tyler's head of domestic security, was already waiting at the bottom of the airstair, flanked by two idling black Maybachs. He gave a crisp, respectful nod as we descended."Welcome home, Mr. Rider, Sarah," Alan said, opening the door to the lead vehicle. "The perimeter at the estate

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   A Fresh Start

    I shifted slightly against the high-thread-count sheets, instantly meeting the solid, radiating warmth of the man beside me. Tyler was still asleep, one heavy, scarred arm slung possessively over my waist, anchoring me flush against his side. His sharp jaw was relaxed, the severe lines around his eyes smoothed by a rare, deep sleep.I stayed completely still, just watching him breathe. It was in these fleeting, private moments that I remembered the sheer weight he carried on his broad shoulders. He was trying to dismantle the corrupt, generational rot of his family's empire while simultaneously building a sanctuary for us and the children.Slowly, as if sensing my gaze, Tyler’s dark lashes fluttered open. His eyes, usually so alert and calculating, were warm and heavy with sleep. A low, gravelly hum vibrated against his chest as his arm tightened around my waist, pulling me entirely over him."You're awake," he murmured, his voice a deep, morning rasp that sent a familiar, pleasant th

    The ride back to the Hotel was agonisingly long. Tyler didn't say a word. He didn't need to.I sank back against the plush leather seat, my pulse hammering a frantic, erratic rhythm against my throat as I watched him. Tyler unbuttoned his suit jacket, tossing it carelessly onto the opposite seat, before reaching up to loosen his silk tie. He stripped it away, unfastening the top two buttons of his crisp white shirt, exposing the strong, tanned column of his throat.His dark, storm-filled eyes finally locked onto mine, tracking the rapid rise and fall of my chest beneath my white blazer."You are staring, Mr. Rider," I murmured, keeping my voice low and intentionally provocative, leaning just a fraction of an inch closer to him."I am marveling," Tyler corrected, his voice a deep, gravelly rumble that sent a violent shiver straight down my spine. He closed the distance between us, his large hand coming up to gently cup my jaw. His thumb traced the curve of my cheekbone, his touch compl

    The silence in the boardroom was absolute. It was the kind of heavy, suffocating quiet that precedes a catastrophic impact. Miller looked like a man who had just seen a ghost. He stood frozen at the head of the table, his eyes darting frantically between Tyler’s unyielding face and my own composed, icy expression. He swallowed hard, his throat clicking audibly in the dead air."Tyler," Miller finally choked out, his voice entirely stripped of its previous booming authority. He attempted a weak, placating smile, raising his hands in a gesture of surrender. "Tyler, my boy. There is a massive misunderstanding here. If you had just called me, we could have handled this quietly. Privately. As a family.""Do not refer to yourself as family," Tyler said, his voice barely above a whisper, yet it cut through the room like a serrated blade. He didn't raise his voice. The absolute stillness of his body was infinitely more terrifying than if he had started shouting. "And do not patronize me by a

    [SARAH’S]We didn't pull up to the main entrance. At Tyler’s quiet directive, the chauffeur bypassed the bustling front plaza and navigated down a ramp into the secure, subterranean executive parking garage."Miller’s car is already in his reserved spot," Tyler murmured, his dark eyes tracking a silver Bentley parked near the VIP elevators. A cruel, humorless shadow crossed his face. "He actually thinks today is just another quarterly review.""He has no idea we’re even on the continent," I replied softly, adjusting the cuffs of my tailored white blazer. "Let alone in the building.""Exactly," Tyler said, turning to look at me. The absolute trust and partnership in his gaze anchored my racing pulse. "And we are going to let him dig his own grave completely before we push him into it."We bypassed the main lobby entirely, taking a private, biometric-locked elevator straight to the forty-second floor. We weren't heading to the grand, glass-walled boardroom where the European executives
