Chapter 11 

Night settled over the city, quiet and heavy

Adrian Graham lay beside Zoe Young as usual, his hand mindlessly tracing the slight swell of her belly

Landon, she murmured, toying with the buttons of his uniform, her fingers ghosting over his collarbone, who do you think the baby will look like?” 

Doesn’t matter.His voice was rough, and yet he couldn’t help picturing the flick of Liana Langston’s skirt as she danced in Swan Lake

If the child were theirs, a daughter would have her lively almondshaped eyes. A son would inherit her stubborn streak

He’d teach their daughter to write, take their son to the range, and pour all the love he owed Liana into the next generation

The thought softened his sharp features

Sensing an opening, Zoe leaned in, her nightgown strap slipping off her shoulder. The doctor saidafter three months, we 

can” 

Her warm breath grazed his throat

Adrian grabbed her wandering hand

This farce should’ve ended the moment she got pregnant

He’d stayed by her side day and night, not out of lovebut out of duty to protect what little blood his brother had left behind

Go to sleep.He pulled the blanket over her, turning away and feigning a cough to hide his body’s betrayal. Your condition’s still unstable.” 

But Zoe, like melted syrup, wouldn’t let go

Landon…” 

She whispered, nipping at his earlobe as she guided his hand to her barely swollen stomach. The doctor said it’s safe now” 

Honey, I want you” 

That wordhoneystruck him like a bullet to the temple, jolting Adrian Graham awake in an instant

Right. He was Landon Graham now

The grieving brother. The one the family leaned on. Zoe Young’s legal husband

As far as the records were concerned, Adrian Graham was a dead man, his name etched in stone in the national cemeteries

He suddenly shoved her down into the mattress, his movements roughlike punishing himself

He cupped her chin with one hand and bit down, while the other hand guarded her belly with fierce protectiveness

Zoe whimpered like a kitten, digging her nails. into his back until they drew blood

Outside, the storm raged, thunder cracking the sky. He yanked the blanket over them as lightning lit the room

His chiseled back rose and fell, the motion knocking the wedding photo off the nightstandrevealing Landon Graham’s face 

on the front

As dawn broke, Adrian gently pulled his numb arm from under Zoe’s body

Clothes from last night lay scattered across the floor

He got up, expressionless, and dressed in a crisp, clean uniform

Raindrops still clung to the metal of the public phone booth

The dial tone stabbed at his nerves like a dull 

blade

It had been a full day. Liana Langston should’ve cooled off by now

Hello?came Richard Langston’s hoarse voice, breaking through the line

Dad, it’s meLandon.” The word slipped out instinctively, his Adam’s apple bobbing nervously. Has Liana arrived yet?” 

The sharp sound of ceramic shattering rang out through the receiver

Don’t call me that. You’re just my dead soninlaw’s older brother,Richard Langston snapped, his breathing suddenly ragged. Why are you calling?”
