Chapter 10 - Our Son Was Born During the Storm That Ended the Falco War, and Lucien Arrived at the Hospital With One Final DemandLabor began at 2:14 a.m.
Rain hit the hospital windows.
Security doubled.
Adrien stayed beside me.
“This is going to hurt.”
I glared.
“Thank you.”
He smiled nervously.
Hours passed.
Then our son was born.
Healthy.
Loud.
Beautiful.
Adrien cried.
Actually cried.
He held him.
“Hello.”
Our son grabbed his finger.
Adrien looked at me.
“You saved my life.”
“No.”
He shook his head.
“You did.”
Then the hospital lights went out.
Lucien appeared on the security screen.
“Congratulations.”
Adrien stood.
“You don't get near my family.”
Lucien laughed.
“Not anymore.”
He announced the war was over.
Not because he surrendered.
Because his own supporters had abandoned him.
The evidence against the family had been released.
The government was moving in.
Lucien had lost.
He escaped before police arrived.
But he left one final message.
The boy is yours. The empire is gone. Now choose what kind of father you will be.
May you like
Adrien looked at our son.
“I already chose.”
