Chapter 503:
The words landed like a slap. Humiliation burned her cheeks a deep, mortified red. He was stripping away every last remnant of her dignity, reducing her to nothing but a biological function.
Cole did not wait for a response. He had said everything he needed to say.
He turned his back on her and walked to the door. He grabbed the handle, pulled it open, and stopped. He did not look back.
“If you ever try to play games with this pregnancy again,” he said, his voice echoing coldly through the quiet room, “I will show you what hell actually looks like p>
He stepped out into the hallway and let the heavy door slam shut behind him.
The sharp click of the latch rang through the room. Alycia was left alone, staring at the closed door, her chest heaving with panic and suffocating, absolute despair.
The moment the heavy hospital door clicked shut, the fragile, tearful victim mask vanished entirely from Alycia’s face.
Her features twisted into something ugly and raw, her chest heaving with rapid, furious breaths. She stared at the closed door with undisguised hatred. He had treated her like garbage. He had looked at her as though she were a disease.
She reached over with her uninjured hand and ripped the IV needle straight out of her vein. A few drops of blood splattered onto the white sheets. She ignored the sharp sting, snatched her cell phone from the bedside table, and frantically dialed her mother.
Susan answered on the first ring. “Alycia? Did it work? Is he there p>

“He was here,” Alycia hissed, her voice trembling with white-hot rage. “He said he’d take care of the baby. But Mom, he threatened us. He said if we ever go near June again, he’ll erase our family from New York. He looked like he wanted to kill me p>
A heavy silence fell over the line. Susan’s breathing hitched. The reality of Cole’s threat landed like cold water over their ambitions.
“And the company?” Susan asked, her voice tight with panic. “Did you ask him to restore the credit lines? The banks are calling in the loans, Alycia — we are hours away from default p>
Alycia bit her lower lip so hard she drew blood. She hadn’t asked. She had been too terrified.
“I’ll fix it,” she lied quickly. “I’ll call him back in. I’ll use the baby p>
She hung up, smoothed the anger from her face, lay back against the pillows, and pressed the red nurse call button.
Five minutes later, the door opened again.
Cole stood in the doorway. He did not step inside. His hands were shoved deep into his trouser pockets, his posture radiating extreme impatience.
“What now?” His voice was flat, stripped of any warmth.
Alycia forced fresh tears into her eyes and looked up at him with wide, pleading doe eyes.
