    **Chapter 9**


    rk sat at his mahogany desk, meticulously poring over the details of a crucial acquisition contract. The soft hum of the office was punctuated only by the scratching of his expensive pen against the paper, a rhythm that provided him a sense of control. Suddenly, the tranquility shattered as Marcus, his assistant, burst through the door, his face a mask of panic.


    “Mr. rk, this is terrible!” Marcus gasped, his breathing in ragged bursts as if he’d sprinted a marathon. “Something’s happened to Mr. Harrison. His condition has taken a turn for the worse, and he’s been rushed to the hospital!”


    The pen slipped from rk’s fingers, ttering against the polished wood of his desk. The sound echoed ominously in the silence that followed. He sprang to his feet so abruptly that his leather chair skidded backward, colliding with the window with a dull thud.


    “What are you talking about?” rk’s voice cut through the air, sharp andced with a growing sense of dread. “Didn’t I explicitly instruct you to secure the best caregivers? How could this happen?”


    “I did arrange for the best caregivers, sir,” Marcus stammered, his voice trembling under the weight of the news. “But the doctor informed me that Mr. Harrison developed a severe lung infection. All our avable doctors this afternoon were assigned to Miss Jordyn’s medical team. The hospital said they’re short on ICU beds.”


    “Useless, ipetent idiots!” rk roared, his face flushing a deep crimson as rage coursed through him. “Send every single doctor back to Harrison immediately! I don’t care what it costs—he must be saved! If anything happens to him, you’re all fired!”


    His hands shook with adrenaline as he reached for his phone, intent on calling the hospital director himself. Before he could dial, however, Marcus’s phone rang, interrupting the chaos.


    Marcus answered quickly, his brow furrowing in confusion. “Sir, the hospital just called. Mr. Harrison has been transferred to the premium ICU, and his condition is stable now. But… it was Mr. Damon who arranged everything.”


    rk froze, his thumb hovering over the screen. “Damon? How the hell did he know about Harrison?”


    At that very moment, rk’sputer chimed, signaling an iing email. His heart skipped a beat as he recognized N’s name in the sender field. With trepidation, he clicked it open, and as he did, a chill swept through him, turning his blood to ice.


    The message contained a trove of audio recordings, photos, and videos—all from Jordyn.


    As he clicked on the first audio file, Jordyn’s smug voice filled the room, wrapping around him like a suffocating shroud. “Mrs. Summer, rk is in the shower right now. He’s been so attentive to me all day that he’spletely worn out. Poor thing needs to rest.”


    rk’splexion drained of color, his heart pounding in his chest like a war drum.


    He clicked on the next recording, dread coiling in his stomach: “Oh my, what terrible timing. I wasn’t feeling well this afternoon either—just some pregnancy nausea and dizziness, you know how it is. But rk was so worried about me and the baby that he immediately called in the best medical team in the city.”


    Bile rose in rk’s throat as the realization hit him like a tidal wave. While N’s fathery fighting for his life, Jordyn had been unting her fabricated ailments, monopolizing precious medical resources.


    The final recording sent rk’s vision spiraling into a haze of fury: “You know what rk told me? He said I’m younger and prettier than you. He said I can give him something you never could—a child. He even mentioned that you haven’t been able to conceive in three years, and he’s worried there’s something wrong with your body. When we’re together, he’s so happy. He says being with me makes him feel like he’s falling in love for the first time.”


    rk’s eyes burned with rage, every vein in his forehead standing out as he processed the extent of Jordyn’s betrayal. In a fit of fury, he swept everything off his desk in one violent motion—papers, hisptop, framed photos—all crashing to the floor in a cacophony of chaos.


    “Marcus!” he bellowed, his voice echoing through the office like thunder. “Bring Jordyn to me right now! This instant!”


    Twenty agonizing minutester, Jordyn was ushered into the office, blissfully unaware of the storm brewing around her. She assumed rk had summoned her because he longed for her presence.


    A sweet smile spread across her face as she approached his desk, cing a hand lovingly on her belly. “rk, did you miss me and the baby?” she cooed, her voice dripping with feigned innocence. “We’ve been thinking about you all day. The baby was so active when I—”


    The sharp crack of rk’s palm connecting with her cheek reverberated through the office, a sound that seemed to freeze time. Jordyn’s head snapped to the side, shock washing over her features as she stumbled backward, her hand flying to her now-swollen face.


    “I specifically warned you never to let N know about us!” rk’s voice was icy, a dangerous edge that made the air feel frigid. “You stupid, vindictive woman! How dare you torment her behind my back!”


    Jordyn stared at him, her eyes wide with disbelief, struggling toprehend the sudden shift in his demeanor. “rk, why did you hit me? I was just—”


    “Shut your mouth!” rk cut her off, venomcing his words. “Pack your things immediately. I’m sending you overseas. From this moment on, I never want to see your face again.”


    The gravity of her predicament crashed down on Jordyn like a freight train. All her dreams of bing Mrs. rk Summer evaporated in an instant.


    “rk, you can’t do this to me!” she pleaded, desperation creeping into her voice. “I’m pregnant with your child! You can’t just throw me away!”


    rk’sughter was devoid of warmth, a chilling sound that echoed in the silence. “A child? You think you’re worthy of carrying my child?”


    Jordyn fell to her knees, grabbing rk’s arm with both hands, her voice breaking. “Please, I know I made a mistake. I was just so jealous of N because I love you so much. I promise I’ll never do anything like this again!”


    rk shook her off with a revulsion that was palpable. “Go to the hospital and terminate the pregnancy. I don’t need any woman except N to bear my children.”


    Jordyn copsedpletely to the floor, sobbing hysterically. The sound grated on rk’s already frayed nerves. He lit a cigarette with trembling hands, taking a long, steadying drag.


    “If you refuse to handle this yourself,” he said with a chilling calm, “I have plenty of ways to ensure you lose that baby anyway.”


    Jordyn’s sobs halted abruptly. She looked up at him, terror flooding her eyes. “rk, I thought you cared about me.”


    Disgust twisted in rk’s gut as he looked at her. This foolish woman’s selfishness had not only shattered his marriage but had also jeopardized his chance with N forever.


    He pulled a tinum bank card from his wallet and tossed it at her feet. “There’s two million dors on that card. Take the money, go to the hospital, and handle the situation. Or I’ll have my security team drag you there. Your choice.”


    Jordyn picked up the card with trembling hands, tears streaming down her swollen face. “rk, are you really this heartless?”


    “Get out of my sight!” rk turned his back on her, the finality of his words hanging in the air like a guillotine. “You have three days to take care of this, and then I want you gone forever.”


    Jordyn covered her face, stumbling out of the office, her sobs echoing down the hallway like a haunting melody.


    rk immediately dialed his head of security, his voice low and firm. “I want Jordyn monitored twenty-four hours a day. Ensure she goes to the hospital and terminates the pregnancy. If she refuses to cooperate, use whatever force is necessary.”


    After dealing with the fallout from Jordyn, rk tried to steady his racing heart. He needed to mend the rift with N. He had to make her see that Jordyn meant nothing to him.


    Quickly, he typed a message to his wife: “Baby, I’m not workingte tonight. Let’s have dinner together when I get home. We really need to talk about everything.”


    He hit send, anticipation thrumming in his chest as he awaited her response. But instead of N’s usual swift reply, he was met with a red exmation point—an ominous sign indicating that the message had failed to deliver.


    rk stared at the error message, dread creeping up his spine like a cold hand. Without hesitation, he dialed Patricia, their longtime housekeeper.


    “Patricia, is N home?” he asked, his voice taut with anxiety.


    Patricia’s voice came through, sounding nervous and ufortable. “Sir… about Madam…”


    “What about her?” rk’s grip tightened around the phone, a sense of foreboding settling in.
