“No.”

The word left Ethan Hale’s lips without a second thought.

Leo Martinez had initially thought it was ridiculous if Ethan believed the baby was from IVF. But hearing such a sharp, decisive denial piqued his curiosity.

‘Mr. Hale, how are you so certain that Ms. Carter’s baby isn’t a ‘test-tube’ baby?”

‘Intuition.” Ethan’s gut also told him that Mia Carter was hiding something.

He had known her for years. For two of those years, they had shared the most intimate connection every single day. He knew her better than anyone.

‘Should I keep investigating, sir?” Leo asked from the other end of the line.

Ethan spat out a single word, “Investigate,” before hanging up.

He tucked his phone away, stole one last glance at the floor where Mia lived, and drove away.

As he passed the neighboring apartment complex, a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked in the courtyard flashed by. Ethan’s brow furrowed slightly.

The car was worth nine figures. Seeing it parked in an apartment complex where the units barely cost a million lollars made it look completely out of place.

But he didn’t dwell on it and sped away into the night.

n the dark apartment, Mia stood by the window. She watched the car disappear into the distance, let out a long reath, and turned back to bed.

Toby’s illness had sent Nina Torres into a spiral of anxiety.

ihe stayed up all night, scouring the internet for the worst-case scenarios of infant fevers. While most articles laimed that getting sick was a normal part of a child’s growth, Nina focused entirely on the rare, extreme cases. Headlines about brain damage, intellectual disability, and leukemia-induced fevers became her obsession.

What if Toby has a serious disease?]

We just moved to Everett. This house was probably recently finished. What if the formaldehyde levels are too igh?]

Toby’s fever hit nearly 104 degrees. Will it affect his brain?]

I heard some kids go deaf after a high fever. What if he can’t hear anymore?]

Mia replied to every message.

But Nina was too deep in terror to listen to reason. Eventually, as dawn broke, Nina finally collapsed into an

xhausted sleep.

Mia dragged her tired body to the office.

She had an international conference at 8:30 AM and made it into Ethan’s office just in time.

As the meeting connected, Ethan, wearing his rimless glasses, flicked his gaze toward her briefly before looking back down. He spoke in fluent English, communicating with the people on the screen.

Mia sat down quietly and opened her laptop to take minutes.

In her rush, she had forgotten to silence her phone.

The sudden ringtone shattered the flow of the conversation. Ethan’s eyes narrowed as he looked over at her.

Mia quickly muted the phone. “I’m sorry.”

Mrs. Gallagher’s number was flashing on the screen.

Ethan caught a glimpse of the caller ID and cleared his throat. “Answer it.”

Mia had no choice but to take the call. “Mrs. Gallagher.”

Mia, tomorrow is my son’s birthday. Why don’t you come over?” Mrs. Gallagher offered a warm invitation. Bring Mr. Hale along, too.”

I’m sorry, but Mr. Hale has work scheduled for tomorrow,” Mia declined politely.

Then you come alone,” Mrs. Gallagher insisted.

I have work to handle as well.”

There was a few seconds of silence before Mrs. Gallagher spoke again. “The party doesn’t start until evening. You an come after work; there’s plenty of time. Serena met you last time and thought you were wonderful to talk to. he specifically asked me to invite you.”

Mia wasn’t exactly close with Mrs. Gallagher. During their wedding anniversary party, she hadn’t even figured out vhich one was the son. As for Serena Woods… “wonderful to talk to”? Hardly.

I’m sorry, but my friend’s baby is sick and in the hospital. I need to go see them after work. Thank you for the nvitation, but I’ll have a gift sent over instead.”

Without giving Mrs. Gallagher a chance to argue, Mia hung up. \

She set her phone down and nodded toward Ethan. “Sorry for the interruption, Mr. Hale. We can continue.”

My name’s Chloe Sutton. I just started my freshman year of college, and already I’m craving him.

On the train home for break, that familiar itch hit me again. That unbearable pull. Ever since my boyfriend claimed me, I’d disc…
