Chapter 420
Chapter 420:
“Word is she’s pregnant!” she gasped. “And Mr. Compton is losing his mind. He flew in a private security team from Europe — they’re standing outside her door around the clock. You can’t even get off the elevator without a background check.” She shook her head in amazement. “It’s more intense than when the President was here. The Compton family is clearly obsessed with this baby p>
June sat perfectly still.
The roar of the cooling fans seemed to swallow the rest of the room.
She stared at the glowing lines of code on her monitor and searched her chest for the familiar, agonizing stab of pain. She waited for the jealousy. She waited for the suffocating anger.
She felt absolutely nothing.
It was like listening to a news report about a stranger in a distant country.
She remembered the blood. She remembered the blinding pain of her ruptured tube. She remembered begging Cole for help while he was at a gala with Alycia. She remembered the second wave of agony, days later, when his selfish demands tore her stitches and left her bleeding a second time.
Now another woman was receiving the ultimate protection, the ultimate care, for a child that belonged to the man who had left her to die.
And June did not care.
Her love for Cole Compton had bled out on the cold grass in front of Caleb’s gravestone. It was dead, rotting in the ground.
What she felt now was an overwhelming wave of pure relief.

Alycia’s pregnancy was the key to her cage.
It meant Cole finally had his precious heir. It meant Eleanor and the rest of the Compton board would have no reason to delay the divorce — they would need to legitimize the child immediately.
June genuinely hoped the baby was healthy. She hoped Alycia carried it to term.
Because the moment that child was born, her legal ties to the Compton nightmare would be permanently severed.
She turned her head and looked at the nurse.
She offered a soft, entirely genuine smile.
“Really?” June said, her voice perfectly smooth, completely free of sarcasm. “That is wonderful news. I wish them the best p>
The nurse’s jaw dropped.
She had come down here expecting tears — the shattered, jealous ex-wife crumbling at the news. Instead, she was looking at a woman who was completely, terrifyingly unbothered.
June turned back to her monitor.
“I have a large data set to compile before noon,” she said, her tone shifting cleanly back to professionalism. “Excuse me p>
It was a polite and absolute dismissal.
The nurse swallowed hard, her face flushing. She backed away and slipped quickly out of the server room.
The heavy door clicked shut.
June let out a long, slow breath. She reached into the pocket of her lab coat and pulled out her phone.
She opened her text thread with Easton Hahn. Her thumbs moved with quiet efficiency.
Easton. I want the divorce finalized immediately. Use whatever leverage you have. I do not want to wait another single second.
She hit send, dropped the phone back into her pocket, and placed her hands on the keyboard. Her mind was perfectly clear.
The VIP suite at Mt. Sinai Hospital looked nothing like a hospital room. It looked like a luxury penthouse at the Ritz-Carlton.
