  • A baby for my Billionaire Alpha Stepdaddy   Chapter 49: suspecting

    Victoria’s POVI knew something had happened the moment Ofelia and Damien returned to the house.Elena and I had only just come back from town with several bags of food when I saw them crossing the field from the direction of the forest. They were walking several feet apart, but the distance between them did not make the tension less obvious.Ofelia’s face was pale, her hair slightly messy from the wind, and there was mud along the bottom of her trousers. Damien looked even worse. His shirt was stained, a fresh cut marked the side of his face, and his expression had become so hard that none of the staff dared ask what happened.Yet neither of them looked only angry.There was something else between them.Something heavy and unfinished.Ofelia saw me standing near the terrace and forced a small smile.“You’re back.”“So are you,” I said, looking down at her muddy shoes. “Where did you go?”“Just for a walk.”Damien’s jaw tightened.I noticed.“A walk near the forest?” I asked.Ofelia g

  • A baby for my Billionaire Alpha Stepdaddy   Chapter 48: trying to protect you

    Ofelia’s POVThe moment Thomas said the northern fence had been broken, Damien changed.The softness that had entered his expression during our conversation disappeared. His shoulders straightened, his jaw hardened, and the man standing beside me became the cold, controlled Damien everyone at Blackwood Enterprises feared.“What did you find?” he asked.“Tracks near the boundary,” Thomas replied. “And blood on the wire.”Damien’s gaze moved toward the library windows.The forest stood beyond the garden, silent beneath the afternoon sunlight.“How long ago?”“Less than thirty minutes.”“Has anyone left the property?”“No, sir. The staff have been accounted for.”“Good.”Damien crossed the room and reached for the jacket hanging over the back of a chair.I stepped into his path.“What is happening?”He did not look at me as he pulled the jacket on.“Stay inside.”“That isn’t an answer.”“It is an instruction.”The familiar anger rose inside me.Only minutes earlier, he had almost told me

  • A baby for my Billionaire Alpha Stepdaddy   Chapter 47: almost spilling the truth

    Damien’s POV “Because some truths would only put you in danger.” The words left my mouth before I could stop them. The moment they did, I regretted them. Ofelia stood in front of me in the open field, her face pale from the riding accident and her wrist marked red where the reins had burned her skin. Victoria remained a few steps away, watching us with growing confusion, while Thomas held Willow’s reins in tense silence. No one spoke. The wind moved across the grass and carried the scent of damp earth from the forest. Ofelia was the first to recover. “What danger?” Her voice was quieter now, but that only made the question harder to avoid. I looked toward the tree line. Nothing moved between the branches, yet I could feel the threat waiting beyond them. The incident had happened too close to the open field. Too close to the house. Too close to her. “That is enough for today,” I said. Her eyes widened. “No, it isn’t.” “You nearly fell from a horse. You need

  • A baby for my Billionaire Alpha Stepdaddy   Chapter 46: falling of a horse

    Ofelia’s POVThe world became nothing but wind, pounding hooves, and terror.Willow raced across the field so quickly that the estate blurred around me. The reins cut into my palms as I pulled them with both hands, but the mare only threw her head and ran faster. My body bounced violently against the saddle, and every movement threatened to send me falling to the ground.“Stop!” I cried.The horse ignored me.The forest rushed closer.Dark trees stretched across the edge of the field, their branches twisting together like a wall. I could barely breathe. Every lesson Damien had given me disappeared from my mind. Hold the reins gently. Keep my balance. Stay calm.There was nothing calm about a frightened animal carrying me straight toward the same forest where I had seen that impossible shadow.Behind me, someone shouted my name.“Ofelia!”Damien.I tried to look back, but the movement made my balance shift dangerously. I quickly faced forward again and tightened my legs around Willow’s

  • A baby for my Billionaire Alpha Stepdaddy   Chapter 45: horse riding

    Damien’s POVOfelia’s fingers hovered over the dark stain on my jacket.For one second, neither of us moved.She stood beside the chair near the side entrance, coffee forgotten in her other hand, while I remained in the doorway with my phone still pressed against my palm. Her face had gone pale. Her eyes moved from the torn sleeve to me, searching for an explanation I could not give her.I should have removed the jacket myself.I should have burned it before sunrise.Instead, exhaustion had made me careless.“What happened to this?” she asked.I crossed the room and took the jacket from the chair.“It’s nothing.”Her eyes narrowed.“There’s blood on it.”“An animal was injured.”“What animal?”“One from the forest.”She stared at me.The lie was too simple, and we both knew it.“Was it the same animal I heard last night?”I folded the jacket over my arm, hiding the stain.“You should be getting ready. Victoria wants to walk near the river.”“That isn’t an answer.”“No, it isn’t.”Her

  • A baby for my Billionaire Alpha Stepdaddy   Chapter 44: The Sound in the Woods

    Ofelia’s POVThe sound came again.Low.Deep.It rolled through the forest like something alive, something too large and too powerful to belong to any animal I had ever heard before.I sat upright in bed, the old novel sliding from my lap onto the blanket. For several seconds, I did not move. My heart pounded so hard that I could hear it above the wind pushing against the balcony doors.The room suddenly felt too small.Too dark.I reached for the lamp and switched it on, flooding the space with warm light. Nothing changed. The curtains still moved gently beside the window. The trees outside still scraped against one another. Somewhere in the distance, the river continued flowing.Then the strange sound stopped.Silence returned so quickly that I began questioning whether I had really heard it.Perhaps Damien had been right.Maybe there were wild animals in the forest.A large dog.A wounded deer.Anything ordinary.I pushed the blanket aside and climbed out of bed. The wooden floor f

  • A baby for my Billionaire Alpha Stepdaddy   Chapter 1 – Dupe by my boyfriend

    Ofelia’s POV “What do you mean there is no money?” I asked, my voice shaking as I stared at the banker across the desk. My hands gripped the edge of the counter so tight my knuckles turned white. The man in the crisp suit didn’t even blink. He just slid a paper toward me. “I’m sorry, Miss Bennet

  • A baby for my Billionaire Alpha Stepdaddy   Chapter 5 – The Door Opens

    Ofelia’s POV It’s just a coincidence, I told myself as I followed Mom up the wide marble steps. Thousands of rich men own black luxury cars. They all look the same. Sleek, expensive, probably made in the same factory. My brain kept repeating it like a prayer. The car outside didn’t mean anything.

    Ofelia’s POVThe plane ride felt endless. I stared out the window at the clouds below, my two suitcases stuffed in the overhead bin and my heart heavy in my chest. Mom had booked the ticket and even paid for a car to pick me up from the airport. Part of me was grateful. The other part wouldn’t stop

  • A baby for my Billionaire Alpha Stepdaddy   Chapter 2 – The Stranger in Black

    Ofelia’s POV It has been three days and that was all it took for my life to turn into a complete nightmare. I hadn’t eaten anything solid since the day Ethan left. Sleep came in short, broken pieces filled with dreams of empty closets and ringing phones. Every time my phone buzzed, it was another
