When Christian woke up and saw she was gone, he immediately reached for the business card Eliza had left him and dialed her number.

Eliza, still at school, saw the caller ID flash on her screen and instantly understood: the task she had entrusted to Christian was likely completed.

She picked up. “Talk.”

Christian’s voice came through, shaking slightly. “I did what you asked… Naomi took the synthetic skin.”

He sounded nervous–clearly unsure what this woman on the other end of the line planned to do next, but certain it couldn’t be anything good.

“And?” Eliza said calmly. “My people saw Naomi staying at your place these past few days. Care to explain that, Dr. Christian?”

Christian froze at the question.

He thought back to the past few nights, to all the shameful things he and Naomi had done in that apartment. Embarrassment tightened his throat.

“Dr. Christian? Are you still listening?”

Eliza’s voice snapped him back to attention.

“Y–Yes, I’m listening,” he stammered.

“Good,” she said, voice icy. “Then tell me, in detail–what exactly did Naomi do while she was staying with you?”

Christian didn’t dare lie to Eliza. She held all the leverage. His only option was to comply.

“H–Her and I… these past few days… we…”

Though he couldn’t finish the sentence, Eliza immediately understood.

“So you’re saying Naomi seduced you, and you spent three nights indulging yourselves in bed?”

Christian flushed bright red. “…Yes.”

Eliza hadn’t expected Naomi to go that far just to get pregnant.

Nathaniel was nearly fifty and had never fathered a child. Was it because he didn’t want one?

Of course not.

It was because he physically couldn’t. If he could, how would he have gone all these years without a single heir?

Had Naomi never stopped to wonder about that?

How stupid can you be?

“Well then,” Eliza said dryly, “let me be the first to congratulate you, Dr. Christian.”

“Congratulate me?”

Christian was confused. He didn’t understand what she meant–why she was suddenly congratulating him.

Eliza’s voice remained cool. “Because in a few days, you’ll likely be a father. So again–congratulations, Dr. Christian.”

The words hit him like a brick.

A father?

Him?

Christian had never imagined himself becoming a dad–especially not with a woman who belonged to someone else.

But before he could respond, Eliza hung up.

Meanwhile…

Naomi returned to the apartment she shared with Evelyn and Nathan.

As soon as she walked in, she noticed something was off–her parents looked utterly exhausted.

“What happened to you two?”

She’d only been gone for three days, and already they looked like they hadn’t slept in weeks. It was the middle of the day, yet they were both dozing in the bedroom..

Suddenly, a deafening noise echoed from below–the sound of renovation drills rattling the entire floor. The vibration was so intense, it felt like the building itself was shaking.

Naomi scowled.
