FAMOUS DOCTOR RETURNS WITH THE EX’S BABY
Amanda knew her husband’s affections were never hers, especially when she had gotten married in the place of her sister, Selene. But even still she hoped Ryan would come to love her, so she endured the endless abuse from his mother, and the pressure to beat an heir for the esteemed Steward family.
Amanda had sacrificed everything to be the perfect wife, from her job as a doctor to her freedom, wanting nothing more than to be acknowledged by the man she loved.
But her hopes come crashing down when Selene returns pregnant with Ryan’s child. Amanda was abandoned without a thought, even when she revealed she was also pregnant, it meant nothing to Ryan Steward.
Just like that Amanda was left to fend for herself, as even her parents turned a blind eye to it all. But she was determined to rise again, and she chose to pursue her dreams to give her child a secure future.
Seven years later, Amanda had grown to become the most sought-after doctor in the country, and she had a brilliant son to support her.
But what happens when fate brings her to meet Ryan once again, but this time as a doctor and client? What happens when he begs for her forgiveness for the past?
Will Amanda forget the pain she endured and accept him? Or will their reunion set the path for a more thrilling train of events?

Chapter: CHAPTER 186Amanda's POV EPILOGUE: I didn’t plan to write anything else, the story was supposed to have ended in the previous chapter, my bad. I was supposed to be resting. Ryan had made sure the curtains were drawn halfway, the room was quiet, Levi was asleep. The house felt calm in a way that still surprised me, calm used to feel like a trap, now it felt earned. A reward after a hard work. Still, my chest felt heavy, not pain or fear, Just things left unsaid. So I took a notebook from the drawer, an old one, the type with soft pages that bended easily. I sat by the window, legs folded beneath me, pen resting between my fingers while I stared outside. I didn’t know who I was writing to at first, I just knew I needed to let some things go. “Dad,” I began... “I don’t know why I still start with you. Maybe because you were the first man who ever made me feel safe. Or maybe because every big moment in my life still feels unfinished without you standing there, watching quietly.” “I wish

Chapter: CHAPTER 185Amanda's POV *Six months later.*Pain woke me before I did, It started low, deep in my body, like something tightening from the inside and refusing to let go. I shifted in bed, thinking maybe I had slept wrong, maybe it was just another uncomfortable night. Then it came again, stronger this time, stealing my breath.I gasped.Ryan was awake instantly.“Amanda?” His voice was thick with sleep and worry. “What is it?”I grabbed his wrist. “I think… I think it’s time.”The look on his face changed in seconds. Shock. Fear. Awe. All tangled together.“Time?” he repeated stupidly, then sat up straight. “Time-time?”Another wave hit me, sharper, heavier. I groaned, curling forward.“Yes,” I said through clenched teeth. “That kind of time.”Everything after that blurred into motion, Ryan was suddenly everywhere at once, grabbing his phone, calling the hospital, fumbling with shoes, asking me questions I didn’t have answers to. Levi appeared at the doorway, sleepy and scared.“It’s okay,” I

Chapter: CHAPTER 184Amanda's POV Airports gave me a sinking feeling at the pit of my stomach, it screamed goodbyes and things that would break hearts.The smell itself was sickening, itwas the first thing I noticed as we walked through the sliding doors together. Adam pushed the trolley slowly, Blair walking beside him with her small hand wrapped tight around his finger. She kept looking up at the big screens like they might swallow her whole, her eyes wide with questions she didn’t know how to ask yet.Levi walked close to me, his shoulder brushing my arm every few steps. Ryan stayed on my other side, his hand firm at my lower back like an anchor. I didn’t say it out loud, but I needed that touch.Adam stopped near the departure gate and turned to face us.“This is it,” he said, forcing a smile.Blair’s face crumpled.“No,” she said immediately. “You said we’d come back.”Adam crouched in front of her, his voice gentle. “We will. I promise. This is just for now.”She studied his face, searching for li

Chapter: CHAPTER 183Amanda's POV Peace of mind looked different when you’ve lived inside fear for too long. It isn’t laughter spilling over itself or big moments that beg to be remembered. Peace of mond is small. It is waking up and realizing your chest doesn’t feel tight. It is breathing in and not counting the seconds before something bad happens.That morning, I noticed it while brushing my teeth, I paused, toothbrush still in my mouth, staring at my reflection. My eyes looked clearer, kess hunted. My shoulders weren’t pulled up around my ears like they’d been for months. I didn’t feel like I was waiting for a knock on the door or a shadow behind me.I rinsed my mouth and leaned my hands on the sink, for the first time in a long time, my thoughts weren’t racing.Ryan was still asleep when I crawled back into bed. His arm came around me without him waking, warm and comforting, like his body knew mine needed the reassurance. I pressed my face into his chest and listened to his heartbeat, I closed my

Chapter: CHAPTER 182Thomas's POV Pain woke him, that had been the routine since he got here, since he stepped on the wrong foot and tried wielding the kind of power that he thought he owned.But this time around, the pain was dull, from his head to every other part of his body, sinking into his bones like cold water. Thomas lay curled on the concrete floor, his face pressed against something wet that smelled like rust and old sweat. His ribs screamed when he tried to breathe. His eye throbbed, swollen shut, someone had kicked him there earlier, maybe more than once, yesterday or the day before, time had stopped making sense in this place.A boot slammed into his side.“Get up, madman.”He groaned but didn’t move fast enough. Another kick landed, harder this time, knocking the breath from his lungs. Laughter followed, a cruel laugh, he knew the owner didn’t care if he lived or died.He pushed himself up, shaking, his hands slipping on the floor. Blood dripped from his nose, splashing onto the concrete.

Chapter: CHAPTER 181ADAM’S POVI was healing and healing never happens the way people describe it.There's no sudden indicator, no moment where the pain packs its bags and leaves without looking back. Healing is quieter than that, slower even, It sneaks up on you in ordinary moments, in the spaces between words, in the sound of a small voice calling your name when you didn’t know you needed to hear it “Dad.”The word still startled me.I froze for half a second every time Blair said it, like my body was checking if my heart could handle the impact. Today was no different. I looked down at her as she slipped her small hand into mine, her fingers warm and trusting.“Yes, sweetheart?”She looked up at me with those eye that carried too much experience for a child her age, yet still held innocence I was terrified of damaging. “You said we’re almost there.”“We are,” I said softly. “Just a few more steps.”The prison stood ahead of us, unwelcoming. I hated this place. Hated that a child had to step foot her

Chapter: Chapter 4Chapter 4Adrian’s POVThe rain swallowed me the moment I stepped down the lane. Cold water soaked through my clothes instantly as I walked down the narrow hill road. Behind me, the door finally got shut, the sound disappeared into the storm.My car waited at the bottom of the hill. I climbed inside and gripped the steering wheel. For a long moment, I just breathed.My hands were shaking. The drive through the long roads felt endless. The wind nearly pushed the car off the road curves, and the wipers of my car struggled against the downpour.Then my phone buzzed.Unknown number. Encrypted channel. A single message appeared on the screen. ‘You shouldn’t have warned her.’A chill runned down my spine.I deleted the message. But my pulse accelerated. There were only two people who could know what I did tonight. One of them was my father.The other person — I didn’t even want to finish that thought. I pressed harder on the accelerator. The lights of the next town finally appeared through

Chapter: Chapter 3Chapter 3 Leona’s povIt was still dark when I started packing.It wasn’t the soft grey color that came before sunrise, this one was deep and unkind, reminding me of what was in front of me.I wasn’t thinking straight. I didn’t thoroughly think through what I was about to do because thinking about it would make me stop so I continued moving instead.That envelope was the cause. It made me fold, sip and pack my bags. My suitcase laid on the bed while I shoved clothes into it with shaking hands.The sound of the rattling zipper closing echoed loudly in the small house that even the walls watched what I was doing. I slid my passport into the leather case that had been loyal to be for many years, especially during the days of running. My eyes drifted towards the window. The rain stopped a few hours ago but the road would still be very wet.Adrian. He might still be out there somewhere. He could be awake, staring at the sea the way he used to whenever something was bothering him or eatin

Chapter: Chapter 2Chapter 2Adrian’s POVI stood in her doorway, my body dripping wet from the heavy rain. I wasn’t supposed to be here. I was uninvited and one of her enemies yet here I was, hoping something would magically change.“Leona.”She looked at me without saying a word. She looked at me like I was a stranger. Her sharp eyes, the brown ones i fell in love with had become really cold. Well, I was a stranger. I was three years late. But I hated that she stared at me like something she once knew and then decided to forget.The silence between us was overwhelming. It was as if she was trying to decide whether to listen to the trash I had to say or to slam the door against my face.“What do you want?” Her reaction was quick.Leona had changed. I remembered the girl that laughed aloud at the silliest thing. She used to lean into people when she talked. The bright woman that I loved.But now, she looked like an angry lion. The woman standing in front of me now was like a stone. Her back was straigh

Chapter: Chapter 1Chapter 1Leona’s POVThe door bell of my favorite cafe jingled as I pushed it open. It was one that I visited every morning. The moment I entered, the air enveloped with the smell of coffee and sugar swarmed into my nostrils.“Buongiormo, Bella!” Signora Rossi beamed with a happy wave from behind the counter. “But you are late.” She dusted her apron.Three years was enough time for me to disappear.It wasn’t easy. I learnt the little tricks first. I learnt how to answer questions without really answering them, how to smile politely even when I didn’t mean it and how to keep my life on a low so that nobody knows what you’re going through.I, Leona learnt everything within a short period of time. People didn’t need to know if it was Lila Grant or not because that woman was already dead.“Buongiomo.” I replied her with a smile, glancing at my wristwatch.It was 8:15am. I was indeed late. I took my usual seat by the window side where I could watch the street and the silent sea from the
