“He threw me out with almost nothing. But the moment he found out I was pregnant with triplets, he sent lawyers to the hospital claiming the babies were his—without realizing someone far more powerful had already stepped in. The pen slipped from Adeline’s hand as she reached the final page. This wasn’t just a divorce. It felt like a judgment. She struggled to breathe in the cold, glass-walled office high above the city. Six months pregnant, exhausted, and emotionally drained, she sat frozen while the lawyer calmly explained she had just twenty-four hours to leave the apartment, give up everything, and accept the “temporary support” her husband had arranged. Temporary support. A polished way of saying she was being discarded with a small amount of money and no dignity. Nick Drayke didn’t even try to hide his indifference. Dressed in a flawless suit, he barely looked at her, scrolling through his phone as if he weren’t dismantling the life of the woman who had stood beside him for five years. Without lifting his gaze, he said, “Sign it. Sienna’s waiting.” The name hit like a blow. Sienna—the glamorous model always in headlines and photos. The same woman Nick had been flaunting publicly while Adeline hid her pregnancy under loose coats, trying not to give him another reason to push her away. But that day, she had no strength left to fight. So she signed. Her hand trembled, tears falling onto the paper as she gave up the apartment, the accounts, the car—everything. Because deep down, she knew resisting a man like Nick was like standing in front of a storm and hoping it would stop. When she finished, he stood, adjusted his jacket, and left her with one final remark: “I sent you something. Don’t say I left you with nothing.” Then he walked out. And she was left alone—with silence and humiliation. Outside, rain poured over the city. Adeline stepped into it without hesitation, clutching her stomach as if she could protect her unborn children from the world. The rain soaked through her clothes, blurred her vision, and chilled her skin—but it was nothing compared to what came next. Her cards didn’t work. And when she checked her account, the “support” he had left was barely a few hundred dollars. Five years of marriage. Three babies on the way. And almost nothing to survive. With no car and nowhere else to go, she got on a bus. She sat by the foggy window, ignoring the stares, the damp air, and the ache spreading through her back. Outside, lights smeared through the rain. Inside, chaos lingered—crying, murmurs, the hum of a long night. Then the pain came. Sharp. Sudden. Deep. She gripped the seat. “No… not now…” But it came again—stronger. Heat surged through her body. Fear tightened her chest. She looked down at her shaking hands, then at her stomach, and knew something was wrong. It couldn’t be happening. Not there. Not alone. The bus jolted across a bridge—and she cried out. That’s when a man stood up. She hadn’t noticed him before. Dark coat. Straight posture. A presence that commanded silence. He walked toward her, and people instinctively moved aside. He looked at her once. It was enough. “The driver won’t stop,” he said calmly. “You’re coming with me.” Before she could react, he lifted her into his arms. Voices protested. The driver shouted. He ignored them all. He forced open the back door and stepped into the storm, carrying her outside—where a black armored SUV waited, flanked by two others, as if they had been following the bus all along. A chill ran through her. Not from the rain. From him. He placed her gently in the back seat, gave a brief command, then handed her a black card. “Breathe. If Nick Drayke comes near you again, call that number.” Adeline looked down. The name engraved in gold made her heart stop. Lucien Arkwright. The most feared and powerful magnate in the country. A man whose influence reached judges, ministers, and the highest levels of power. She looked up, pale. “Why are you helping me?” Lucien didn’t answer immediately. He studied her, as if confirming something he had already suspected. As if this wasn’t coincidence—as if he had been searching for her. Then her phone vibrated. A photo appeared. Nick. Smiling. Standing inside a hospital. Three lawyers behind him. And beneath it, a message: “I know it’s triplets now. You’re not leaving that hospital with my heirs.” Why did he find out that very night? Who exactly was Lucien—and why did it feel like he appeared too quickly? And what would happen when the two most dangerous men in her life finally met… at the hospital?
