ALEXANDER POV

I was smiling. Actually smiling… Rare enough that half the staff who greeted me that morning looked momentarily startled by it.

The drive to work had been pleasant. My thoughts kept circling back to Selena. Her sleepy face that morning. The way she had laughed when I claimed paying for breakfast counted as cooking. The argument about baby names. The little kick from our child that had stopped both of us mid-sentence.

A genuine smile tugged at my lips again.

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   RUIN OF MY OBSESSION

    ELENA'S POV "...Selena?"My entire body froze. That voice. The voice I had buried for six years. Slowly, I raised my head.Vanessa. She stood a few steps away, her eyes impossibly wide. The confident woman I remembered was gone. Her gaze drifted slowly from my face to Adrian, then back to me. Her lips trembled. "Selena..."I didn't answer. Not a word.She took one hesitant step toward me. Her eyes dropped to Adrian again. "Is he…" Before she could finish, I cut her off. "Don't." My voice came out colder than I expected. She stopped immediately. "Selena, please, just…." "Don't call me that."Silence stretched between us. The restaurant felt too small. Too suffocating. Too close.She swallowed. I could see it.. the guilt, the panic, the disbelief. But none of it mattered anymore."If you call Alexander…" I took one slow step toward her, my voice perfectly even, "—I don't mind killing you."No shouting. No rage. Just a warning from a mother protecting the only thing she had left.

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   PARTNERSHIP

    ALEXANDER BLACKWOOD'S POV "Arrange another meeting."Greg looked up from his tablet. "With Moretti Designs?"I buttoned the cuff of my shirt before looking at him. "No." His brows knitted together. "With the owner." I paused. "And I want the little boy to come along."Greg blinked. "...Sir?""I said what I said."He hesitated for a second before nodding. "I'll contact them immediately."The car made a smooth turn, leaving the airport road and heading back toward the hotel. I leaned against the leather seat, staring through the tinted window. I didn't know why I wanted that kid there. Maybe because he intrigued me. Maybe because he'd had the audacity to lecture me over the phone. Or maybe he simply reminded me of someone.Greg was already busy making calls. My phone vibrated. I glanced at the screen. Vanessa. I wasn't in the mood. The call stopped, then started again, then again. I exhaled sharply before answering."I'm not your husband, Vanessa. So mind how you bug my phone with call

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   SMART MOUTH

    ELENA MORETTI'S POVThe warm hand around mine made me stop.I turned sharply, tears already blurring my vision. "Liam..." He didn't ask questions. He had already seen the panic written all over my face."I'm coming with you.""Liam, the client….""Mama can handle it."He looked toward Mama without hesitation. "Mama.""Yes, sir.""You'll handle the meeting."Mama nodded immediately, clutching the files tighter. "I'll do my best." Liam turned back to me. "Come on." His fingers tightened gently around mine as he led me toward the car. "I'll drive."I could barely think. My chest felt tight. Every second felt too slow. The moment we got into the car and Liam started the engine, I stared blankly through the windshield while my fingers trembled uncontrollably. Without saying anything, Liam reached over. His free hand found mine and squeezed it."He'll be okay."I bit my lip. "He always says that too... that he'll be okay."Liam looked ahead. "And he will."I nodded. But my mind had already

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   THE ATTACK

    ALEXANDER'S POVJust as the boy was about to answer my question. "Adrian." A female voice called from behind. The little boy turned immediately. "Mama."I followed his gaze. A chubby woman in her forties walked toward him, a few documents tucked beneath her arm. She stopped in front of him and said something in a low voice I couldn't quite make out. Adrian simply nodded. She reached for his school bag before gently taking his hand.Just before they turned to leave, Adrian suddenly looked back at me. He lifted his free hand and waved. "Goodbye, Mr. Blackwood." A faint smile tugged at my lips. "Goodbye, Adrian." The woman offered me a polite nod before leading him toward the parking lot. I watched them until they disappeared from sight."She raised a wonderful son," I murmured.Greg walked up beside me. "Sir. We should head back… you still have the meeting this afternoon." I gave one last glance toward the school gate before turning away.As we walked toward the car, Greg cleared hi

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   MY YOUNGER SELF

    ADRIAN POVI was already dressed before Mum came into my room. She leaned against the door, smiling the way she always did whenever she looked at me."Good morning.""Morning, Mum."She walked over and pressed a kiss to my forehead. "You got dressed all by yourself?""I've been doing that for years."She laughed softly before reaching over to straighten my collar. "There.""Mum..." I groaned."What?""I'm not a kid.""You are my kid."I stared at her. She stared back. "...Fine." She grinned triumphantly. "I knew you'd understand." I rolled my eyes dramatically, making her laugh even harder.For a second I simply watched her. She smiled a lot these days.. genuine smiles. But sometimes, when she thought nobody was looking, her eyes became lonely. At school, other kids always talked about their fathers. Mine never came up. Not because I didn't notice. Because I noticed too much. Whatever happened before I was born, it hurt her. So I never asked. She was enough."I love you, Mum."Her ha

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   123: CLOSE TO FINDING HER

    ELENA POVMy eyes remained fixed on the monitor.Vanessa. After six years, she looked almost the same. My gaze drifted lower. Her stomac… round, heavy. She was heavily pregnant. A strange ache settled in my chest before I could stop it.So they really made it.A small, bitter smile tugged at my lips. She must be Mrs. Blackwood now. They must be happy. Maybe this was always how it was supposed to end. After all, Grace had been his first love, Vanessa had always been the one he trusted, and I… I was only the woman who happened to carry his child.No.I closed my eyes briefly, forcing the thoughts away. That wasn't my life anymore. Alexander Blackwood belonged to my past, and I had promised myself six years ago that I would never live there again."Mama.""Yes, ma'am?""Tell Mrs. Vanessa I'm unavailable."Mama blinked."And don't schedule any meeting with her.""But, ma..."I slowly lifted my eyes. She immediately fell silent. I rarely lost my temper, but everyone in this company knew on
