My Husband's Secret Baby with Bodyguard: A Security Detail Betrayal, Marriage in Crisis and Second Chance Romance

The earpiece is supposed to be silent unless something's wrong. Simone forgets she's still wearing it, standing in the garage after a security briefing, when the comms channel crackles open and her husband's voice comes through it - talking to someone who isn't supposed to be on a private line with him at all. Reid hired a security firm after the threats started. Cameras, a detail, protocols for everything, including exactly who's allowed to communicate on the encrypted channel and when. Farrah runs the whole operation. She's the reason Simone stopped flinching at unfamiliar cars on their street, the reason their daughter can still walk to the mailbox without an agent flanking her. Simone trusted her with her family's actual safety. She didn't know that trust had a second use. There's no confronting Reid in the driveway where a dozen cameras would catch it. Simone is still, technically, a protected principal - walking away from the security protocol isn't a dramatic exit, it's a liability the whole detail has to manage, logged and reported like everything else that happens inside this system Reid built to keep them safe. Callum has read every incident report on this house for eleven months. He clocked what was happening on that channel before Simone ever did - flagged it internally, got overruled, watched it happen anyway because it wasn't his case to run. He's not supposed to say anything to her outside an official briefing. He does anyway, quietly, off the record, the first honest thing anyone assigned to protect this family has told her in almost a year. She hired people to keep her family safe from a threat outside the house. She never once thought to ask who was going to protect her from the ones already inside it.
