Chapter 428
"I'm calling Isabella!"
Harrison decided if Nathaniel was going to be this arrogant after Oliver's call, she might as well involve Isabella directly. Let her see exactly what was happening.
Instantly, the man looming over her froze. Nathaniel's intense gaze locked onto hers.
A smirk curled Harrison's lips. That name still had power over him.
"Nathaniel, get out of my apartment right now! Or I'll tell Isabella how you're sexually harassing me tonight. She might not be able to do much, but trust me, she'll make sure you can't do anything either."
Desire burned in Nathaniel's eyes as his voice turned rough. "Harrison, what's wrong with you?"
Harrison blinked in confusion. Why was he asking about her when she was threatening to expose him?
What was wrong with her?
Nathaniel lowered his head, his lips brushing her sensitive earlobe. "Harrison, you're leaking."
Leaking?
The realization hit her like a truck. Since becoming pregnant, her body had undergone changes. Her chest had been feeling unusually full lately, and just last night, she'd noticed white droplets staining her nightgown.
Heat exploded across her face as she shoved at Nathaniel's chest. "Get off me!"
Nathaniel caught her chin, pulling her into another searing kiss.
His mouth moved with possessive hunger, devouring her before trailing lower.
Harrison's face burned crimson. She could feel every hard plane of his body pressed against hers, his arousal unmistakable.
Nathaniel, the powerful CEO, knew exactly what he was doing.
"Nathaniel, you're disgusting! Let me go! I swear I'm calling Isabella right now!"
Her fingers flew across her phone screen, initiating a video call to Isabella.
The ringing tone filled the room.
"I'm video calling her - stop this instant!"
As she spoke, the call connected. Isabella's delicate features appeared on screen.
Isabella was in the hospital, undergoing observation for her chronic heart condition.
Victoria sat beside her, both women discussing Harrison.
With deadly seriousness, Isabella declared, "Mother, I will get Harrison's heart - no matter what."
Her survival depended on it.
Victoria chuckled softly. "Don't worry, darling. Mr. Falcon adores you. He'll make it happen."
Just then, Harrison's video call came through.
Isabella's lips curled. "Why the video call? Has hell frozen over? What do you want now? Finally ready to donate your heart? Even if you hesitate, Nathaniel will make you agree. He'll save me!"
Victoria handed Isabella a peeled apple. "Harrison, smart girls know when to surrender. Just say yes and get it over with."
Harrison hadn't expected this barrage. She shouted, "Isabella, help me!"
Isabella froze. Only then did she notice Harrison's flushed face, her expression a mix of embarrassment and something else entirely.
Harrison's voice turned urgent. "Control your man! He broke in and is trying to - ah!"
Before she could finish, the camera angle shifted slightly. Isabella's body went rigid.
There, pinning Harrison to the sofa in his custom black suit, was Nathaniel.
Isabella's mind blanked. She couldn't process what she was seeing.
For the first time, she couldn't comprehend the dynamic between Nathaniel and Harrison.
