Within seconds, Alexander was standing in front of them, blocking their path. The air seemed to tighten around them. Even the distant sounds of the hospital faded into the background. Elena met his gaze directly, her posture straight despite the lingering weakness in her body. Neither of them moved. Neither of them spoke. The silence stretched, heavy and unyielding, until Alexander finally broke it. "Do you remember that you're pregnant?" he asked, his voice low but edged with tension. That single sentence was enough. The restraint Elena had been holding onto cracked instantly. "And do you remember that you're my husband?" she shot back, her voice sharp and unwavering. The disappointment in her eyes didn't need to be explained. It hit harder than anger ever could. "I was worried about you," Elena continued, her voice tightening despite her effort to stay composed. "You weren't answering your phone. I went all the way to the office to find you, and you were out with another woman." A bitter laugh slipped out before she could stop it. "Do you know how ridiculous that felt? Trying to find my own husband through someone else?" Alexander's expression stiffened slightly. "There's nothing going on between me and Fiona," he said. "I'm not questioning that," Elena replied immediately. "What I'm questioning is everything else. If a marriage can't even maintain basic honesty, then what exactly is it built on?" Her voice rose before she could rein it in. "Is the point of this marriage just for me to safely carry and deliver your child?" The words landed between them, sharp and unforgiving. She hadn't planned to say them like that. But once they were out, she couldn't take them back. Because they were true.

Even now, part of her still waited. But in the end, he didn't. "I'm taking you home," he said instead. He reached out toward her. Before his hand could touch her, Gideon stepped forward and blocked him without hesitation. "If you can't even maintain appropriate boundaries with other women," Gideon said, his voice calm but cold, "then you shouldn't be involving Elena at all" His gaze sharpened slightly.
