(Lyra’s POV)

“I should have never come here.”

I stood frozen outside the ultrasound room, clutching the report in my hands. My fingers shook, not from excitement or anticipation, but from fear. Fear of what I knew was coming. Fear of the truth that I had tried to deny for weeks.

One fetus, alive. Intrauterine pregnancy, 8+ weeks.

I read the words again. I was pregnant. Two months along.

But instead of feeling the joy, the surprise that most women would feel, I felt nothing but dread. The weight of the decision I would soon have to make crushed me, and with it, the fear of facing him again—the man who had destroyed everything I thought I knew about love.

My phone rang, breaking through my thoughts like a thunderclap. I glanced at the screen.

“Rhys.”

I took a deep breath before answering.

“Hello?” My voice sounded far too weak to be my own.

“Come to the office.” His voice was cold, clipped, as usual. It always sent a chill down my spine.

“I—”

The call ended abruptly. No chance to refuse. No room for hesitation. I stuffed the ultrasound report into my bag, my hands trembling as I walked out of the hospital.

The world outside felt like a blur as I hurried to the one place I always found myself at his command—the tallest building in the city.

I didn’t know when it had started, this cycle of coming and going at his whim, but I had long since given up trying to fight it. Rhys Maddox—my husband—had a way of getting what he wanted, and I was no exception. I was a mere tool in his life, a thing to be used when needed. He’d made it clear from the start that my only purpose was to serve him.

I arrived at the suite on the 32nd floor, the office cold and sterile. The scent of leather and expensive cologne filled the air, making my stomach turn. I was used to this place, but it never failed to make me feel small.

I was about to sit down when the sound of the fingerprint scanner outside the door buzzed. The heavy door opened, and in he walked, the man who had ruined my life yet somehow held my heart in his hands.

Rhys. His tailored black suit was a second skin, as if it was made for him alone. His presence was commanding, but cold—always cold.

He barely glanced in my direction as he strode in. His gaze was fixed on something only he could see.

“Did your trip go well?” I forced myself to speak, trying to mask the tremor in my voice as I stood up.

He didn’t respond. Instead, his eyes flickered to the bag in my hand, and without a word, he reached for it. He pulled out a pink lingerie set and tossed it in front of me like it was an everyday request.

“Shower. Put this on,” he ordered, his voice as emotionless as ever.

My cheeks flushed. “I... I’m not feeling well,” I said, biting my lip to keep the tremor out of my voice. “Can’t we—”

His eyes narrowed at the lie. “Stop making excuses,” he said coldly, cutting me off before I could finish.

I had been lying to him for weeks now, but this time, my excuse felt especially hollow. The baby—I couldn’t ignore it anymore. But I didn’t dare tell him.

Instead, I reluctantly turned and walked toward the bathroom. I could feel his eyes burning into my back, and I knew he was waiting, as always, for me to comply.

The water was hot, scalding almost, but I stood under the spray, trying to wash away the dread pooling in my stomach. The pink set Rhys had given me seemed to mock me, each soft piece a reminder of the life I had never wanted but was stuck with.

When I emerged, the room was just as cold and sterile as it had been before. Rhys was lounging on the bed, his eyes scanning something on his phone. I felt small under his gaze, exposed and vulnerable. He didn’t look up when I stepped into the room, but I could feel the weight of his attention.

“Please, can I have just one day off?” I found myself asking, even though I already knew the answer.

He finally looked up, his gaze icy and unyielding. “Do you think you deserve a break?” The question hung in the air like an accusation.

My heart clenched. “I’m not feeling well,” I repeated, my voice barely a whisper now.

His eyes softened for a fraction of a second, but it was gone before I could process it. He sat up, moving toward me with a fluid grace that left me breathless. “You don’t get to refuse me,” he said with a dangerous calm, his voice laced with finality.

I swallowed hard, my throat dry as I tried to avoid his gaze. “When will you stop tormenting me? When will you let me go?” The words escaped before I could stop them, and my eyes burned with unshed tears.

For a moment, Rhys’s expression shifted—faint amusement flashed across his face, as though he were entertained by my defiance. Then, without warning, his hand gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze.

“You want to leave?” He sneered, his voice thick with menace. “Not in this lifetime, Lyra. You belong to me, whether you like it or not.”

My heart shattered as he leaned in to kiss me, and for the first time, I fought back, turning my face away. “I’m not your toy, Rhys,” I snapped, tears threatening to spill.

“You dare refuse me?” His voice was low, filled with a dangerous edge. In one swift motion, he lifted me and tossed me onto the bed, the force of it taking my breath away.

Two hours later, I lay on the bed, my body aching in ways I couldn't explain. A faint red stain marked the sheets, and panic surged through me. My baby.

I barely had the strength to drag myself to the hospital again, my body tre

mbling as I stumbled through the doors.

  • PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE    Chapter 47: Cornered and Defiant

    Rhy's POV My world was collapsing, and I was suffocating under the weight of it. Sitting in my office, I stared at the stack of papers on my desk, lawsuits, government inquiries, financial reports showing my empire bleeding out. The warehouse fire had killed two workers, injured three, and now the feds were sniffing around, asking questions about arson, negligence, and my enemies. Ciara’s video, Lyra’s heartbreak, Finn’s absence, it all pressed down on me, a noose tightening around my neck. I was furious, heartbroken, and desperate, but I wasn’t done fighting. Don Salvatore was behind this, pulling strings with Ciara, and I was done running. It's time to face him.I clenched my fists, my hands shaking with rage. “No more,” I growled, my voice low. “You’re not taking my family or my legacy, you bastard.” I grabbed my phone, my heart pounding, and dialed his number. It rang once, and he picked up, his voice smooth and cold, like he had been expecting me.“Rhys,” he said, a smirk in h

  • PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE    Chapter 46: Shadows and Choices

    Lyra's POV The past few days have been a blur of pain and confusion, like I’m trapped in a storm I can’t escape. That video of Rhys and Ciara haunts me, playing in my mind every time I close my eyes. I see them together, his hands on her, and it rips my heart open all over again. I’m traumatized, barely sleeping, my thoughts a tangled mess of love, betrayal, and fear. Finn’s smile keeps me going, but even that hurts, how do I protect him when I’m falling apart? And those threatening texts, I'm watching, make me jump at every shadow. I feel like I’m losing my mind, like I'm literally going crazy…..I needed someone to anchor me, so I called Calder while Finn napped. She answered, her voice warm but worried. “Lyra, you sound rough. What’s going on?”I sank onto my bed, tears already falling. “Calder, I’m a mess,” I said, my voice breaking. “I can’t stop thinking about Rhys, that video, Ciara. It’s killing me. And Finn… he’s happy here, but I’m scared. Someone’s watching us, I feel it.

  • PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE    Chapter 45: The Mask Falls

    Ciara’s POVI lounged on my couch, a glass of wine in my hand, feeling like I was on top of the world. My plan was unfolding perfectly. Sending that video of me and Rhys to Lyra was my idea, and it had hit her hard, just like I wanted. I could imagine her crying, her heartbreaking, knowing Rhys had been with me. And the Don’s move? Burning one of Rhys’s warehouses, killing two workers, injuring three? Genius. Rhys was crumbling, his empire catching fire, and I was pulling the strings. He’d rejected me, called me poison, but now he will see what I was capable of.“Ciara, you’re glowing,” Ria said, sitting across from me, her eyes narrowing. “What made you so happy?”I smirked, sipping my wine. “Everything’s falling into place, Ria. Rhys is losing it, his family, his business. Lyra’s probably a mess after that video, and the Don just torched one of Rhys’s warehouses. He’s got nowhere to run.”Ria’s face paled, her voice tight. “Ciara, this is crazy. People died in that fire. You’re pla

  • PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE    Chapter 44: A World on Fire

    Rhy's POV I slammed my fist on my desk, the sting barely registering over the rage and pain tearing through me like wildfire. Lyra’s words echoed in my head, each one a blade: You’ll never see Finn again in your miserable life. My chest ached, a mix of fury, sadness, and desperation. Finn, my little boy, gone. Lyra, the woman I loved, shutting me out forever. And that video of me with Ciara, God, what had I done? I have let loneliness make me weak, and now my family is slipping away. I won't let that happen. Not only that, but I Will do anything, anything, to get them back, even if it means flying to Miami and begging on my knees. “No way, Lyra,” I muttered, my voice shaking. “You’re not taking my son from me.” I grabbed my phone, my hands trembling with anger, and dialed Jake, my private investigator. He picked up fast, his voice gruff. “Rhys, what’s up?” “Jake, I need you to step it up,” I said, pacing my office. “Lyra’s in Miami with Finn, and she’s threatening to keep h

  • PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE    Chapter 43: NO WAY BACK

    Lyra's POVI stumbled out of Chris’s house, my heart pounding, my lips still tingling from our kiss. The night air hit me like a slap, but it didn’t clear the chaos in my head. I’d almost let things go too far, again between us, looking like I'm beginning to fall for him. Guilt and anger burned inside me, mixing with the raw pain of that video of Rhys and Ciara. It played in my mind, over and over, each frame a fresh wound. I loved Rhys, but he betrayed me, and now I was betraying myself, falling for Chris’s warmth when I wasn’t ready. I ran to my car, slamming the door, and gripped the wheel, gasping for breath.“No, no, no,” I whispered, my chest heaving. My sobs came hard, choking me. “What am I doing?” I pressed my forehead to the steering wheel, tears streaming down my face. Rhys’s betrayal, Chris’s kiss, Finn’s safety, it was too much. I felt like I was drowning, my heart torn between love, hate, and fear.I started the car, my hands shaking, and drove toward Calder’s house, my

  • PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE    Chapter 42: A broken heart

    Lyra's POVI sat on the floor of my office, my phone lying beside me, the video of Rhys and Ciara playing on repeat in my head. Each frame was a knife to my heart, Rhys’s hands on her, their bodies tangled, her smug smile, they were furking each other like a beast. I pressed my hands to my face, sobs tearing through me, raw and uncontrollable. I’d loved Rhys through his lies, his mistakes, but this? This was betrayal on a level I couldn’t process. My chest felt like it was caving in, my tears soaking the floor. I wanted to scream, to break something, but all I could do was cry, my body shaking with every sob.“Why, Rhys?” I whispered, my voice breaking. “Why her? Why Ciara, of all people?”The email’s words mocked me: You can’t run from the truth, Lyra. Whoever sent it, Ciara, Antonio, or someone worse, knew exactly how to shatter me. I ran to Miami to protect Finn, to start over, but the past kept clawing me back, each movement a razor to my chest. I hit play again, torturing mysel
