Chapter: 135: Needing The Doctor's Help VWEEKS later, Clara sat in her living room with her son, Ethan, asleep in her arms. The house was quiet because Mark had moved out, unable to reconcile himself with Clara’s choices and the new rules she placed in the house. He still visited Ethan, but their interactions were strained The doorbell rang. Clara hesitated at first before she slowly rose to her feet, with Ethan still nestled against her bossom. Opening the door, she found Dr. Thorne standing there with a large bouquet of flowers and a wide smile on his face. “I hope I’m not disturbing you,” he said gently as he bent low to touch Ethan's cheek. “I just wanted to check in and see how you and Ethan are doing.” Clara smiled, her heart glowing at his presence. Her smile felt like the warmth of an early morning sunshine. “Come in, Doctor. We’re doing wonderfully.” She stepped aside, letting him in. He looked around the living room, then his gaze settled on Ethan, his eyes softening. “He is so handsome, Clara. Absolutely g

Chapter: 134: Needing The Doctor's Help IVCLARA slowly lowered her book, her gaze cold and steady. “What do you think is going on, Mark?”“You’re… you’re fucking him, aren’t you?” His voice was barely a whisper, filled with a mixture of horror and accusation. “While you’re pregnant? With my baby? How could you?”Clara laughed, a sharp, humorless sound that cut through the air. “How could I? How could you, Mark? You’re asking me that? After everything you’ve done? After you fucked Sienna, the little cum slut, because I was ‘too big’ and ‘not interested’?” She stood up, her belly acting like her shield against him. “The doctor said I needed this, Mark. My body needed it. My mind needed it. And since you couldn’t provide it, since you were too busy getting your dick wet elsewhere, I found someone who could.”Mark stared at her, his jaw slack. “But… but he’s a doctor! This is… this is sick! Perverse!”“Perverse?” Clara scoffed, stepping closer to him, her eyes burning with a dark fire. “You want to talk perverse, Mark? Let’s

The feeling of his fingers, deep inside her, stretching her, filling her, was intoxicating. It was rougher than she expected, yet incredibly satisfying. He wasn't trying to be gentle in a way that ignored her needs.He withdrew his fingers, then brought them back, slowly, pushing deeper this time, his thumb still teasing her clit. Clara’s moans grew louder and even more urgent. Her body thrashed on the chaise, her pregnant belly jiggling with each movement.“You’re a beautiful, wet slut, aren’t you, Clara?” he whispered, his voice a low growl, his eyes burning into hers. “Beg for it. Tell me what you want.”The words, so vulgar, so demeaning, yet in this context, they were like a key, unlocking something wild and untamed within her. “Fuck me, Doctor,” she gasped, her voice raw with desperation. “Please, fuck me.”He pulled his hand away, and Clara cried out in protest. He stood, his eyes still locked on hers

Chapter: 132: Needing The Doctor's Help IITHE following week, Clara found herself back at Dr. Thorne’s private office, a separate, more discreet entrance away from the main clinic. The room was dimly lit, a plush rug silencing her footsteps. She wore a simple, loose dress with her belly really prominent.Dr. Thorne sat opposite her in a comfortable armchair, not behind a desk. He wore casual slacks and a soft sweater, a far cry from his usual white coat. He looked… different. Less like a doctor, more like a man.“Clara, thank you for coming,” he began, his voice still smooth, but softer now. “How are you feeling?”“Like I’m about to do something completely insane,” Clara admitted, a nervous laugh escaping her. “And a little… excited, I guess. Which makes me feel even crazier.”Dr. Thorne nodded. “That’s a perfectly normal reaction. This is a strange thing for you. For both of us, in a professional sense. Let’s be clear, this is still therapy. Physical therapy, if you will. My objective remains your well-being. We’ll go at

Her large tummy pressed against the examination table as she took heavy breaths with conscious efforts. Her husband, Mark, sat beside her, pretending to be the caring and dutiful husband he never was ever since she got pregnant. His was physically present, she could tell, but she knew his mind wandered to the young body of Sienna who was more slender and very curvaceous in all the right places. He hadn't touched her in months... Not since the first trimester's morning sickness."Clara, we need to talk about your… uh... well-being,” Dr. Thorne began smoothly. He adjusted his glasses, a glint of light catching the rim. “Your blood pressure is elevated and your stress levels are concerning. This isn’t good for you, or for the baby.”Mark reached out his hand to gently squeeze at that piece of information, making Clara even more irritated than sh

Elara felt herself letting go, abandoning all inhibitions. She was a slut, and she was loving every moment of it. She rode him hard, her hips bucking against his, matching his rhythm.She felt a powerful climax approaching, and her pussy tightened around his cock, squeezing every bit of him into her.

The shrill cries of the baby coming from upstairs caused that. Vanessa was with the baby, getting ready to come downstairs. Damien had stepped out briefly to handle a work call, leaving his mother and sister alone in the living room. Helen glanced around with satisfaction. “At least this house finally feels complete,” she said, smoothing her dress. “A crying baby changes everything. It gives a home life.” Daisy forced a weak smile. “Yes, Mom.” Helen turned sharply. “What is that face? You look like someone attending a funeral.” Before Daisy could answer, her phone pinged.

They sounded mocking.“Raven…”“You always come back…”“You never really leave…”Her chest tightened. The microphone slipped from her fingers.She turned sharply, trying to find where the voice was coming from, but the stage had changed.It wasn’t a stage anymore, it was now a dark room.

Elena began as Dr. Karen sat across from her."You just got exonerated and the internet is even apologizing to you..." She paused to take a deep breath. "And not only that but Lunaris Tech have put out an apology and are offering you a higher position now."Elena was almost amazed by that, but she held herself back. "And how did these all happen? You're keeping me in suspense..." She was already taking out her phone from her bag."I just saw the video."Elena didn't look up from the screen on her phone as she turned on the WiFi.

If the project sailed through successfully, she was going to put the company on the A class of tech companies, meaning the company would be on par with Lunaris Tech with this one project.Her heels clicked against the concrete, the sound echoing off the walls of the parking garage. She was halfway to the elevator when she heard the footsteps behind her. When she turned, Marcus was already too close. His hand went around her neck before she could scream.

Even her faithful customers turned up their nose before walking past her shop, as if she'd done.Three days now and not a single customer.She pressed her hand to her stomach. The bump was small still, easy to hide, but she felt it every morning. The nausea. The weight. The thing growing inside her that Marcus had called a problem."Get rid of it," he had said. "We can't afford a baby right now."But he could afford the car, the apartment, the nights out that she wasn't invited to anymore. Her phone sat on the counter.

Amelia looked up from her food and stared at her son. “Where did you have in mind?” “The nature park.” He said it like it was obvious. “With the birds and the walking trails and the place where we had the picnic that one time.” “The one where you dropped your sandwich and blamed Gabriel?” Amelia asked with a small smile tugging at her lips. “I didn’t blame him,” Gaddiel said. “I just said he was nearby.” “I was in the car,” Gabriel corrected his twin. “You were near... by the car.” Gaddiel didn’t even pause.
