MY EX WANTS THE CHILD HE ONCE REJECTED BACK
“You really think you can trap me with a child ?” Those were the last words Elena ever expected to hear from the man she loved.
When Raven’s former fiancée suddenly returns with a child claiming he’s the father, he doesn’t hesitate to throw away their four-year marriage. On the very night Elena signs the divorce papers, she discovers she’s pregnant with Raven’s baby. But instead of believing her, he accuses her of lying to trap him and humiliates her in front of everyone. Heartbroken, Elena disappears without a trace, determined to raise her child alone and rebuild the life Raven shattered.
Five years later, fate brings them together again.
The timid woman Raven once discarded is gone. In her place stands a confident, successful Elena… with a brilliant little boy whose eyes look exactly like his. Now Raven wants answers. Then forgiveness. And finally, the family he carelessly destroyed.
But after everything he did, can a man who once rejected his own child ever earn a second chance… or has he lost Elena forever?

Chapter: CHAPTER 38Author's POVThe next morning, the apartment was unusually lively.The front door had barely swung open before Liam came sprinting out of his room, a wide grin stretching across his little face.“Dad!”Dorian barely had time to set down the shopping bags in his hands before Liam threw himself into his arms. A chuckle escaped him as he caught the boy with ease, ruffling his hair affectionately.“Easy there, champ.”“I have to show you something!” Liam exclaimed excitedly, grabbing his hand. “Come on!”Without waiting for an answer, he tugged Dorian toward the dining table where his laptop sat.“Look!” Liam said proudly as he flipped it open. “I’ve been practicing with the laptop you bought me. I can even make folders now.”Dorian’s face lit up with genuine pride as he watched the little boy confidently move the cursor across the screen.“That’s impressive.” He smiled. “Looks like you’ll be teaching me a few things before long.”Liam giggled, clearly pleased with the compliment.Standing

Chapter: CHAPTER 37Author’s POVFinally, Stacy spoke. “Raven?” Stacy repeated slowly, as though searching through an old memory. She paused again before her voice rose with disbelief. “Do you mean the Raven? Like Raven Calloway?” Another brief silence followed before she asked in shock, “That Raven?”She nodded.“ Oh my god! I rolled my eyes at her theatrics. “ “Tell me… how did it feel seeing the man who broke your heart again?” Stacy asked.Elena lowered her gaze, her fingers tightening around the phone until her knuckles turned white.“It felt…” she began, but the words caught in her throat. She drew in a shaky breath before forcing herself to continue. “It felt like someone had ripped open a wound I’d spent five years trying to stitch back together.”Despite her efforts to sound composed, her voice cracked, betraying the storm raging inside her.“I kept telling myself I’d moved on,” she confessed quietly. “I convinced myself that if I ever saw him again, I’d look at him the same way I look at any othe

Chapter: CHAPTER 36Author’s POVThe moment the presentation and networking session came to an end, Elena felt the weight on her shoulders slowly lift. As the co-owner and Creative Director of V&C, she had spent weeks preparing for this project, and thankfully, everything had gone better than she expected. The presentation was a success. Investors praised her ideas, board members congratulated her, and several executives showed interest in the partnership. It should have been the perfect ending to a successful day.But none of that stayed in her mind. The only thing she could think about was Raven. Seeing him again after five years had shaken her far more than she wanted to admit.Claire noticed how quiet Elena had become as they walked toward the parking lot together.

Something happened, didn’t it?”E

Chapter: CHAPTER 35Author’s POV Raven kept walking toward her.Each step brought him closer, yet Elena couldn’t make herself move. Five years had passed since she last saw him, but standing there now, it felt as though no time had passed at all. The memories she had buried so deeply threatened to rise to the surface, but she forced herself to stay calm. She was no longer the broken woman who had walked away with nothing. She was the co-owner and Creative Director of V&C, and everyone in the room was watching.Just as Raven was only a few steps away, a cheerful voice called out from behind him.“Mr. Calloway!”Raven stopped and turned.A distinguished man in his late forties walked over with a broad smile. It was Richard Peterson, one of the company’s senior executives and an important partner in the project.“There you are,” Richard said warmly as they shook hands. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you. I was beginning to think you’d slipped out without saying hello.”Raven smiled politely. “I’m sorry

Chapter: CHAPTER 34Author’s POVRaven.The name echoed through Elena’s mind before she could stop it.Five years.Five long years had passed since the day Raven divorced her without a second thought. The same day he called her a pathetic liar and accused her of faking her pregnancy just to stop him from leaving. She had walked away that night with nothing but a broken heart and the child he had refused to believe was his. She had imagined seeing him again countless times, but never like this. Never while standing in front of hundreds of executives with every eye in the room fixed on her.For a brief second, the words on the screen blurred.Her fingers tightened around the remote in her hand.Raven walked into the conference room with the same quiet confidence she remembered. Time had changed him very little. He still carried himself with the effortless authority that made people instinctively turn to look at him. Several executives stood to greet him, exchanging handshakes as he acknowledged them with a

Chapter: CHAPTER 33Author’s POVJust as Dorian opened his mouth to ask Elena another question, his phone suddenly rang. The sharp sound broke the quiet moment between them. He glanced at the screen, and the calm expression on his face disappeared almost instantly.“I need to take this,” he said quietly.Without waiting for a reply, he stepped a few feet away and answered the call in a low voice, making sure Elena couldn’t hear the conversation.Elena remained where she was, letting out a slow breath she hadn’t realized she had been holding. Her thoughts were all over the place. She knew Dorian wanted to ask more about Raven, but she wasn’t ready. Five years of pain, running from her past, and keeping the truth buried couldn’t be explained in a few minutes. Not now. Not when she was still trying to protect Liam and the life they had built.A few minutes later, Dorian slipped his phone back into his pocket and walked over to her. His face was calm again, but there was a seriousness in his eyes that hadn’t
