My Coworker Blackmailed Me Over My Pregnancy — He Didn’t Know Who The Father Was
Part 2
I sobbed, my hands coming up to cradle my belly in a desperate, protective gesture.
“Greg, please.”
“Say it,” he commanded.
He closed the final inch between us, his hands gripping my shoulders.
It wasn’t tight enough to hurt, but firm enough to trap me completely.
His pale blue eyes were burning with a terrifying fire.
“Say it, Megan.”
“He’s yours,” I whispered, my voice breaking.
“He’s yours.”
My confession hung between us, impossible to take back.
The man who constructed a criminal dynasty on pure logic now appeared completely adrift.
His gaze remained locked on my face, searching my terrified features for a lie, a trick, any sign of deceit.
But there was none, only the raw, trembling exhaustion of a woman who had carried a monumental secret entirely on her own.
Slowly, as if approaching a skittish deer, Greg moved his hands from my shoulders.
He let them trail down the soft, heavy wool of my coat, pushing the fabric aside.
His large, scarred palms hovered for a fraction of a second.
Then, he gently, almost reverently, placed them flat against the swell of my stomach.
I held my breath, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird.
At the exact moment his hands made contact, the baby delivered a sharp, rolling kick right against Greg’s palm.
Greg gasped, a sharp, inhaled breath that sounded almost painful.
The ruthless syndicate leader, a man who had ordered the demise of rivals without blinking, stumbled back half a step.
He stared at his own hand as if he had just been struck by lightning.
“A boy,” I whispered, fresh tears spilling over my lashes.
“They said it’s a boy.”
A breathtakingly dark emotion spilled across Greg’s features.
His initial stun vanished, swiftly overtaken by a primal claim that made the air feel dangerously thick.
He looked at me not just as a woman he desired, but as the mother of his bloodline.
Before he could speak, Tyler stepped into the penthouse, carrying my rolling suitcase and duffel bag.
The warmth in Greg’s eyes instantly froze into glacial fury as he realized I was going to take his son across the country and disappear.
Greg grabbed my forearms, his voice a low, immovable absolute as he told me I was never leaving him.
The sheer magnitude of the stress finally caught up with my overburdened body.
Black spots danced at the edges of my vision, and my knees buckled.
Greg caught me instantly, his roar echoing as he ordered his men to summon the doctor.
As the darkness pulled me under, I remembered Brian Patel sitting in the cold garage.
What would a ruthless man like Greg do to the coworker who had put his unborn child in danger?
Part 3
The cold steel of a customized Colt 1911 pressed flat against the mahogany desk, but Megan’s eyes were locked on the man who put it there.
Greg Robinson, the most ruthless syndicate leader in Chicago, stared at her trembling, swollen silhouette.
“Tell me who the father is,” the mafia boss demanded.
His voice a lethal, vibrating whisper that sucked the oxygen from the room.
She’d hidden the truth for six agonizing months, but time had just run out.
Megan Davis had spent her entire thirty-two years mastering the art of invisibility.
It was a survival mechanism, one largely afforded to her by her physical size.
In a world that worshipped sharp angles, hollowed cheeks, and women who looked like they could snap in a stiff breeze, Megan was undeniably, unapologetically fat.
She had broad, soft shoulders, thick thighs, and a heavy, rounded stomach that she typically draped in oversized cashmere cardigans and loose, empire-waist dresses.
Society had a habit of looking right through women her size, treating them as part of the background scenery.
For most of her life, Megan had resented that invisibility.
But for the last six months, it had been her greatest weapon.
She worked as the senior forensic accountant for Robinson Logistics, a towering glass and steel corporation situated in the wealthy enclave of Chicago.
On paper, it was a legitimate import-export empire.
In reality, it was the meticulously clean front for the Robinson crime syndicate.
Megan knew exactly who she worked for.
She saw the millions of dollars moving through shell companies in the Cayman Islands.
She noted the sudden spikes in revenue that coincided with shipments at the port.
She saw the consulting fees paid out to ghost entities.
But Megan kept her head down, her practical leather shoes silent on the marble floors, and her mouth strictly shut.
Her invisibility had worked flawlessly until the night of the winter gala at the Drake Hotel.
It was supposed to be a standard corporate obligation.
Megan had worn a deep burgundy velvet gown, one of the few garments she owned that actually hugged her lush curves.
She found a quiet corner in the archival library to sip her ginger ale.
She hadn’t intended to cross paths with Greg Robinson.
Greg was a phantom to most of the employees, a terrifying spectre of a man who ruled his empire with cold, calculated brutality.
He was tall, built like a heavyweight boxer, with piercing pale blue eyes, and a jawline that looked like it had been carved from granite.
He was typically surrounded by towering bodyguards and women poured into six-inch designer heels.
But that night, Greg had been bleeding.
Megan had retreated to the darkened room to escape the noise, only to find the mafia boss slumped against a leather sofa.
He was gripping his ribs as blood seeped through his tailored tuxedo.
A rival faction had attempted a quiet hit in the valet tunnel.
His security had neutralized the threat, but not before a stray blade caught him.
Instead of screaming, Megan had locked the heavy oak doors.
She hadn’t panicked.
Using the first aid kit from the catering kitchen and her own torn velvet slip, she cleaned and bound the wound.
She worked with the clinical precision of a woman who had spent her life quietly fixing other people’s messes.
Greg had watched her the entire time.
He hadn’t seen a fat, invisible accountant.
Through the haze of pain and adrenaline, he had seen a fiercely competent, deeply grounded woman.
When her soft, warm hands had pressed the bandages to his torso, something volatile had ignited between them.
The isolation of the room, the scent of her vanilla perfume, the stark contrast of his violent world colliding with her soft reality.
It had broken down his defenses.
And to Megan’s eternal shock, it had broken down hers.
What happened on that leather sofa was desperate, raw, and earth-shattering.
Greg had touched her with a reverence she had never experienced.
His large hands mapping the heavy curves of her hips and the soft expanse of her belly, as if she were the most exquisite treasure he had ever claimed.
For one night, Megan wasn’t invisible.
She was the center of a dangerous man’s universe.
When the dawn broke over Lake Michigan, reality had crashed back down.
Greg’s security team had breached the room, sweeping him away to a private underground clinic.
Megan had smoothed her ruined dress, walked out into the freezing Chicago morning, and convinced herself it was a fever dream.
Greg was a king of the underworld.
She was a plus-size bookkeeper with a penchant for Excel spreadsheets.
They were an anomaly, a mistake.
Two months later, the nausea had started.
Megan had sat on the cold tile of her cramped bathroom, staring at the two pink lines on the plastic stick.
Her heart pounded a frantic rhythm against her ribs.
She was pregnant with the heir to the Robinson syndicate.
Panic had set in instantly.
She knew what happened to women who got entangled with the mob.
They became leverage.
They became targets.
And more terrifyingly, she knew what Greg would do if he found out.
A man like him wouldn’t let his bloodline walk away.
He would take the child, and Megan would be trapped in a gilded cage for the rest of her life.
Or worse, deemed an unsuitable mother, and discarded entirely.
So, she hid it.
Her body type played perfectly into her deception.
As the baby grew, Megan simply bought larger cardigans.
When her face grew a little fuller, her coworkers assumed she was just gaining weight.
It was a topic no one dared bring up to a fat woman out of sheer social awkwardness.
She blamed her morning sickness on a lingering stomach ulcer.
She scheduled her appointments under a false surname, paying in cash she had meticulously saved.
She thought she was safe.
She thought she could quietly transfer to a branch in Seattle by her third trimester and disappear into the rain.
She hadn’t counted on the karma of the Robinson organization coming back to bite her.
And she certainly hadn’t counted on Brian Patel.
By month six, the physical toll of the pregnancy was becoming impossible to ignore.
Megan’s ankles swelled fiercely by mid-afternoon, suffering from severe edema that made her sensible shoes feel like vice grips.
The baby, a boy, the ultrasound tech had cheerfully announced, was incredibly active, constantly kicking against her ribs.
Her lower back ached with a persistent grinding pain.
And the heavy wool coats she wore to obscure her growing midsection in the warming spring weather were making her dizzy with heat.
Megan was exhausted, operating on a knife’s edge of anxiety.
She was fast-tracking her transfer, quietly packing up her apartment, and finalizing the quarterly audits.
That was when she found the discrepancies in Brian’s accounts.
Brian Patel was a mid-level manager who handled the logistics for the South Side distribution hubs.
He was a slick, overly cologned man who wore suits that were slightly too shiny, and smiled with too many teeth.
He had always treated Megan with a thinly veiled disgust.
He made passive-aggressive comments about her diet, or sighed loudly when he had to squeeze past her in the break room.
Megan had never liked him.
But as she ran the numbers on the May shipments, her dislike crystallized into cold, professional dread.
Brian was skimming.
He was inflating the cost of shipping containers and pocketing the difference.
He stole nearly two hundred thousand dollars over four months.
In the Robinson organization, stealing from Greg wasn’t a fireable offense, it was a fatal one.
Megan compiled the evidence on a secure flash drive intending to drop it anonymously in the compliance lock box.
She wanted no part in the violent retribution that would undoubtedly follow.
But before she could make the drop, her body betrayed her.
It happened on a Tuesday.
Megan had been experiencing a bout of round ligament pain so sharp it brought tears to her eyes.
She had left the office early taking a cab directly to the maternity ward.
She hadn’t noticed the black Mercedes trailing her.
Brian had been paranoid for weeks knowing the auditors were crawling over his reports.
He had been looking for leverage, any dirt he could find on the accounting team to blackmail them into looking the other way.
When he saw Megan, the straight-laced, boring senior accountant, sneaking into the obstetrics wing, he thought he had struck gold.
The next morning, Brian cornered Megan in the basement archives of the Robinson building.
The air down there was stale, smelling of ozone and old paper.
Brian purred, stepping out from behind a row of filing cabinets.
He blocked her path to the elevator, his eyes dropping to her heavy draped torso.
Megan stiffened, clutching a stack of ledgers to her chest.
Her heart began a frantic, terrified drumbeat.
His gaze was predatory, gleaming with malicious triumph as he confronted her about the maternity ward.
Megan’s face burned with a mixture of humiliation and sheer panic, but she forced her expression to remain stoic.
Brian sneered, his tone dropping the false pleasantry.
He reached out, tapping a manicured finger against the files she held.
He knew she was looking at the South Side accounts, and he demanded she adjust the margins to make the discrepancies vanish.
Megan’s voice trembled as she reminded him Greg would kill him if he found out.
Brian hissed, leaning in so close she could smell the stale coffee and mints on his breath.
He threatened to go straight to the gossip mill if she didn’t fix the books by Friday.
He told her they would find an excuse to fire her, leaving her to pay for her child without health insurance.
Brian thought he was being clever.
He thought she was just a pathetic, lonely woman hiding a shameful secret from a random one-night stand.
He had absolutely no idea that the baby he was threatening belonged to the apex predator of their world.
Megan practically ran to the elevator, her breath coming in short, panicked gasps.
The baby kicked violently in response to her spiking adrenaline.
If Brian exposed her pregnancy, the scrutiny on her would multiply a hundredfold.
People would start doing the math.
They would start looking closer.
And worse, if Greg’s inner circle found out Brian was trying to blackmail an employee, Greg would intervene personally.
And Greg was already back in Chicago.
He had returned from a brutal three-month turf war in Palermo.
He looked leaner, darker, and more dangerous than ever.
And since the moment his private jet had touched down, he had been looking for her.
Megan had felt his eyes on her in the lobby.
She had seen his imposing silhouette lingering near the glass walls of the accounting department.
Greg hadn’t forgotten the night at the Drake.
If anything, the memory of her soft skin and quiet strength had haunted him across the Atlantic.
He had tried to dismiss it, to bury it under the blood and violence of his daily life, but it was impossible.
He wanted her back in his bed.
He wanted to strip away the oversized sweaters and possess the woman beneath them.
He didn’t know she was carrying his child, but his lethal instincts were already pinging.
He noticed how she avoided his gaze.
He noticed the slight waddle in her usually brisk walk.
He noticed the pale, exhausted sheen of her skin.
The tension was a tightly coiled spring, winding tighter with every passing hour.
Megan was trapped between a blackmailer who wanted her to commit corporate suicide and a mafia boss whose obsession with her was rapidly breaking through his ironclad control.
By Thursday afternoon, the walls had completely closed in.
Megan had tried to bury Brian’s missing funds in a dummy account to buy herself time.
But her hands had shaken so badly, she had nearly locked herself out of the mainframe.
Her stress levels were dangerously high.
Her blood pressure was spiking, causing a dull, throbbing headache behind her eyes.
She needed to get out.
She had booked a one-way flight to Seattle for that night.
Her bags were in the trunk of her car, parked in the lowest level of the underground garage.
She just had to make it to five o’clock.
The accounting floor was nearly empty when Megan grabbed her heavy wool coat, draping it over her swelling stomach, and headed for the service elevator.
She was panting slightly, the weight of the child pressing heavily on her lungs.
She made it to the dimly lit garage, echoing with the distant hum of ventilation fans.
She fumbled for her keys, her swollen fingers slipping on the metal.
Brian Patel stepped out from behind a concrete pillar.
He looked frantic, his tie loosened, a sheen of sweat on his forehead.
Megan backed up until her spine hit the cold metal of her car door.
Brian snapped, closing the distance between them as he revealed the internal audit team had pulled his manifests.
Megan cried out, her protective instinct flaring as she crossed her arms over her abdomen.
She explained the system was double encrypted, and altering the main ledger would flag Greg directly.
Brian snarled, his vicious rage taking over.
He lunged forward, grabbing Megan by the shoulders and slamming her hard against the car.
Megan screamed, a raw, primal sound of terror.
She didn’t care about the pain in her shoulders.
She only cared about the impact to her stomach.
Brian’s threat was abruptly cut off by a sickening crunch.
Megan gasped as Brian’s weight was violently ripped away from her.
She slumped against her car, clutching her stomach, gasping for air.
Standing over Brian’s crumpled, groaning body was Tyler, Greg’s massive head of security.
Tyler’s knuckles were bleeding, his face a mask of terrifying indifference.
He didn’t even look at Brian.
He looked directly at Megan.
He stated Mr. Robinson wanted to see her in the penthouse, immediately.
Megan stammered, tears of shock blurring her vision, begging to go home.
For the first time since Megan had met him, the mafia boss looked completely, utterly shocked.
His eyes flicked back up to her face, then back down to her stomach.
His mind, brilliant and ruthless, did the math in a fraction of a second.
Six months.
The gala at the Drake.
His breathing hitched.
The mask of cold control shattered, replaced by something wild, possessive, and terrifyingly furious.
“Tell me who the father is,” he demanded, his voice a lethal, vibrating whisper.
Megan sobbed, her hands coming up to cradle her belly in a desperate, protective gesture.
“Say it,” he commanded, closing the final inch between them, his hands gripping her shoulders.
His eyes were burning with a terrifying fire.
Megan whispered that the baby was his, her voice breaking.
The words hung in the air, heavy and irrevocable.
For a man who had built an empire on anticipation, strategy, and cold calculation, Greg Robinson looked entirely unmoored.
His gaze remained locked on Megan’s face, his pale blue eyes searching her terrified features for a lie.
But there was none.
Only the raw, trembling exhaustion of a woman who had carried a monumental secret entirely on her own.
Slowly, as if approaching a skittish deer, Greg moved his hands from her shoulders.
He let them trail down the soft, heavy wool of her coat, pushing the fabric aside completely to reveal the full truth.
His large, scarred palms hovered for a fraction of a second before he gently, almost reverently, placed them flat against the swell of her stomach.
Megan held her breath, her heart hammering against her ribs like a trapped bird.
At the exact moment his hands made contact, the baby, agitated by Megan’s spiking adrenaline, delivered a sharp, rolling kick right against Greg’s palm.
Greg gasped.
It was a sharp, inhaled breath that sounded almost painful.
The ruthless syndicate leader stumbled back half a step, staring at his own hand as if he had just been struck by lightning.
Megan whispered it was a boy, fresh tears spilling over her lashes.
A terrifyingly beautiful darkness washed over Greg’s face.
The shock evaporated, instantly replaced by a possessiveness so intense it seemed to change the atmospheric pressure of the room.
He looked at Megan not just as a woman he desired, but as the mother of his bloodline.
Before he could speak, the heavy oak doors of the penthouse opened.
Tyler stepped in, his expression grim.
In his massive hands, he carried Megan’s rolling suitcase and a canvas duffel bag.
Tyler reported finding them in the trunk of her car, along with a one-way boarding pass to Seattle.
Greg’s head snapped toward the luggage and then back to Megan.
The warmth that had just blossomed in his eyes instantly froze into glacial fury.
He repeated her destination, the word dripping with a lethal, quiet menace.
He realized she had been planning to take his son across the country and disappear.
Megan cried out, her protective instincts overriding her fear.
She wrapped her arms around her belly, stepping back from him.
She reminded him of what had happened that day, how Brian had figured it out just by seeing her at the hospital.
She told him she was terrified of becoming leverage, of being discarded because she didn’t fit into his world.
Greg growled, closing the distance between them in two massive strides.
He grabbed her forearms, his grip firm but careful not to bruise.
He fiercely rejected the idea of throwing away the woman who saved his life, the woman carrying his heir.
He told her she was never leaving, never getting on a plane without him.
The sheer magnitude of the stress finally caught up with Megan’s overburdened body.
Black spots danced at the edges of her vision, and the roaring in her ears grew deafening.
Her knees buckled under the weight of her heavy frame.
Greg shouted her name, catching her instantly.
He scooped her into his arms, easily supporting her lush curves and the added weight of the pregnancy.
He carried her to the leather sofa, a bitter, poetic echo of the night they had met, and laid her down gently.
He roared for Tyler to summon the doctor immediately.
Greg knelt beside the sofa, his large hands frantically checking Megan’s pulse.
She looked up at him, her eyes glassy, her mind snagging on the immediate danger of Brian and the audit.
Greg told her not to think about Brian, his voice dropping to a terrifyingly calm register.
He promised her that Brian had made a fatal mistake by touching the mother of his child.
Megan saw a flash of pure unadulterated violence in Greg’s eyes.
A promise of retribution so absolute, it made her shiver.
He ordered Tyler to take Brian to the soundproof warehouse at the docks.
Megan closed her eyes, turning her face into the soft leather cushions.
She had tried to avoid the violence of Greg’s world.
But the veil was gone.
She was bathed in the harsh, bloody light of the mafia, and there was no going back.
When Megan next opened her eyes, the ceiling was wrong.
It wasn’t the water-stained plaster of her apartment, nor the acoustic tiles of the corporate building.
It was a soaring, vaulted ceiling adorned with hand-carved mahogany beams and a cascading crystal chandelier.
She was lying in a massive four-poster bed fitted with sheets so soft they felt like liquid silk against her skin.
Dr. Dan stood near the edge of the bed, confirming her blood pressure was returning to normal.
Next to him, arms crossed over his broad chest, stood Greg.
He had shed his suit jacket, his white dress shirt unbuttoned to reveal the dark ink of syndicate tattoos.
He looked exhausted, yet violently alert.
Greg stepped forward immediately, his hard face softening the moment her eyes met his.
He sat on the edge of the mattress, the bed dipping under his considerable weight.
Megan croaked that she felt like she had been hit by a truck.
Dr. Dan explained she had experienced a severe vasovagal syncope episode brought on by extreme stress.
The baby was perfectly fine, but Megan needed bed rest and zero stress to avoid preeclampsia.
Greg dismissed the doctor, leaving them in a profound, heavy silence.
Megan asked where she was, and Greg informed her she was in his home, Vineta Tower.
He told her her apartment was being packed up, her lease broken, and she lived there now.
It wasn’t a request.
The gilded cage had locked its doors.
Megan felt a flare of her old defensive anger, a survival trait she had honed over years of being marginalized.
She told him he couldn’t just kidnap her, trying to sit up.
Greg immediately put a hand behind her back, effortlessly assisting her until she was propped against the plush pillows.
He corrected her, stating he was protecting her.
Megan looked down at her hands, twisting the edge of the silk blanket.
She confessed her insecurities, explaining she knew the flawless women he usually surrounded himself with.
She admitted she thought the night at the Drake was a mistake, and he would pay her off because she was an embarrassment.
Greg’s jaw clenched so hard, a muscle feathered near his ear.
He moved closer, caging her between his arms as he leaned over her.
He commanded her to look at him, meeting her fierce gaze.
He told her the women she spoke of were mere decorations, but she had saved his life without screaming.
He let his large palm slide over the heavy curve of her hip, resting possessively on her waist.
He confessed he had thought about her softness every single night for six months.
He called her a queen, his voice turning ragged with restrained desire.
The absolute sincerity in his eyes shattered the defensive walls Megan had spent thirty-two years building.
For the first time in her life, a man wasn’t looking past her.
A tear slipped down her cheek, and Greg caught it with his thumb.
His tone shifted back to business as he brought up the problem of Brian Patel.
Megan shivered, asking if he had killed him.
Greg coolly replied not yet, explaining his auditors were terrified of making a mistake with the encrypted accounts.
Megan’s professional brain engaged, pushing aside the fear.
She explained Brian wasn’t smart enough to build a new encryption, but had piggybacked off old bootlegging routes.
Greg stared at her, a slow, predatory smile spreading across his face.
He looked thoroughly, incredibly impressed.
Megan demanded a laptop, promising to isolate the missing funds and rebuild the ledger in two hours.
Greg laughed, a deep, booming sound of pure triumph.
He leaned forward, pressing a hard, claiming kiss to her forehead.
He murmured that she was the most dangerous thing in his empire.
Within ten minutes, a top-of-the-line encrypted laptop was placed on a velvet tray over Megan’s lap.
Propped up against the pillows, wearing one of Greg’s oversized silk shirts, Megan went to work.
Her fingers flew across the keys, her mind sharply navigating the complex financial labyrinth.
Greg sat in an armchair by the window, watching her with undeniable pride.
Two hours later, Megan hit the enter key with a satisfying click, announcing the funds were isolated.
Greg stood up, thanking her softly and telling her to rest.
He strapped a leather shoulder holster over his chest, his eyes going dead and cold.
He promised to show Brian what happened when karma hit back.
The Southside docks were a desolate stretch of rusted shipping containers and cracked concrete.
Inside warehouse four, the air was thick with the metallic tang of fear.
Brian Patel was strapped to a heavy iron chair, his face bruised and his breath coming in panicked gasps.
He had been sitting in the freezing warehouse for hours, surrounded by Greg’s most terrifying enforcers.
Brian frantically tried to calculate his odds, planning to blame the accounting error on Megan.
The heavy steel door groaned open, and Greg emerged into the harsh light.
He looked every inch the apex predator, tossing a manila folder onto Brian’s lap.
The pages spilled out, revealing the exact ledger Megan had rebuilt.
Brian stared at the papers, the blood draining completely from his face as his lie withered in his throat.
Greg revealed his senior forensic accountant had found the funds and rebuilt the ledger.
Brian’s desperation surged, attempting to claim Megan was setting him up.
He foolishly brought up her pregnancy, insulting her and assuming she was trying to steal the money.
The temperature in the warehouse seemed to plummet.
Greg slowly leaned down, trapping Brian in his terrifying orbit.
He whispered exactly what Brian had done, threatening a pregnant woman and shoving her against a concrete pillar.
Brian stammered, claiming he didn’t know she was pregnant.
Greg’s hand shot out, wrapping around Brian’s throat with the speed of a striking viper.
He snarled that she was the mother of his son, the absolute truth detonating in the silent warehouse.
The realization hit Brian with the force of a freight train.
He had assaulted the queen of the Robinson syndicate.
Brian choked out a desperate plea, weeping openly in sheer terror.
Greg released his throat, wiping his hand with utter disgust.
He pointed out Brian’s fatal mistake of assuming Megan was weak because of her size.
Greg ordered Tyler to shatter every bone in Brian’s hands with a sledgehammer.
He commanded that Brian be put on a freighter bound for Jakarta, permanently exiled.
Brian began to scream, thrashing wildly as Tyler approached.
Greg turned and walked out the heavy steel doors, the screams cutting off abruptly as the door sealed shut.
The karma was complete, and he had a queen to return to.
Summer bled into a sweltering Chicago autumn, but Megan hardly noticed.
Her entire world had been irrevocably transformed.
She ruled the financial side of the syndicate from the sprawling, fortified estate.
At first, the men in Greg’s inner circle hadn’t known what to make of her.
But Megan was a fiercely intelligent accountant who relentlessly audited the ledgers.
Three weeks after moving in, she uncovered a massive leak, saving the organization millions.
They didn’t see a fat woman; they saw a financial genius who protected their livelihoods.
They called her the boss’s mind.
But the most profound change was her relationship with Greg.
He treated her with a reverence that bordered on religious.
Every night, the ruthless leader would kneel before her, pressing kisses to her swollen belly.
He worshipped her heavy thighs and the soft expanse of her stomach.
He made her feel beautiful, powerful, and utterly invincible.
By late October, Megan was incredibly uncomfortable and heavily pregnant.
Greg was hosting a tense sit-down with rival capos in the library when Megan’s water broke.
She pressed the intercom, her voice tight with pain as she told him to conclude the meeting.
The cold, calculating boss vanished instantly.
He threw open the doors, ordering the rivals out of his house and rushing upstairs.
The next ten hours were a blur of screaming, clinical lights, and agonizing fear.
Through it all, Greg never left her side, holding her hand and anchoring her to reality.
Just before dawn, the furious cry of a newborn shattered the silence.
Megan collapsed back against the pillows, utterly exhausted but triumphant.
Dr. Dan announced they had a perfectly healthy baby boy.
Greg dropped to his knees beside the bed, burying his face in her neck as he wept tears of profound gratitude.
The doctor placed the baby onto Megan’s chest, and the infant quieted at the warmth of her skin.
Megan looked down at her son, naming him Dan, the heir to the empire.
Three months later, the winter gala at the Drake Hotel was held once again.
This time, Megan did not hide in the dark library.
She walked into the grand ballroom on the arm of Greg Robinson.
She wore a custom emerald green gown that proudly displayed her full, lush curves.
The room fell entirely silent as they entered.
There were no whispers about her size, only awe and respect.
Greg guided her to the center of the room, wrapping his arm around her thick waist.
He looked at her with a burning, possessive pride.
He murmured against her ear that she used to be invisible, but now everyone could see her.
Megan smiled, resting her head against his shoulder.
She didn’t need to hide anymore.
The hard karma of her past had burned away the shadows.
She was exactly where she was meant to be.
She was ruling an empire, loved fiercely, and never, ever invisible again.
