ALEXANDER BLACKWOOD POV

She went limp in my arms halfway down the hallway.

Guess the anesthesia finally kicked in. Lame.

Did she really think she could walk into a hospital, sign a paper, and get rid of my heir like it was nothing? Ridiculous.

I kept walking without slowing down, her weight resting against my shoulder like she was nothing more than a coat I'd thrown over myself. People stared as I strode past the nurses' station, whispers already starting, eyes following every step. Nosy bei

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   SIXTY SEVEN : COURT HEARING 11

    ATTORNEY EMMA POVMy gaze snapped to the courtroom doors again. Shit.The whispers were already spreading, reporters scribbling, the judge's patience visibly thinning. Prosecutor Daniel practically glowed from his seat. And Selena…God, the poor girl looked seconds away from collapsing entirely.The judge adjusted his glasses. "With the absence of substantial evidence to support the accused's claim, I…"The doors burst open."Wait!"Every head in the room turned simultaneously. My breath caught, then relief crashed into me so hard I nearly sagged forward.Lucas. My husband came rushing in breathing like he'd run across the entire city, suit wrinkled, hair disheveled, and in his hand, the phone. "I have evidence to support the claim of the accused!"The courtroom erupted. Gasps, whispers, chairs shifting and across the room, Prosecutor Daniel's smug expression cracked for the first time all morning. His eyes widened slightly before he caught himself.Got you.I moved toward Lucas qu

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   SIXTY SIX: COURT HEARING 1

    SELENA'S POVThe night was so cold I barely closed my eyes. When I did, I saw blood. Stephanie's blood. I jolted awake every few minutes, chest tightening so painfully I thought morning would never come, and when it finally did it brought no relief, just the grey fabric of the clothes they'd given me and the inside of a police van moving through roads I couldn't see.Two officers sat beside me in silence. I twisted the fabric of the trousers between my fingers until my knuckles went white.Please, God. Please. This can't be how my life ends.The van slowed. Stopped. My heartbeat spiked instantly. "Step out." The door opened, and the moment my foot touched the ground, chaos erupted, camera flashes from every direction, voices screaming over each other in a wall of noise."Miss Selena! Did you kill Stephanie for a movie role?!" "Were you jealous?!" "Did fame get to your head?!" "Did you plan it?!"Reporters surged forward, cameras nearly in my face before the officers pushed them

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   SIXTY FIVE: FINDING EVIDENCE

    ATTORNY EMMA POVThe moment Alexander Blackwood stepped out of the room, the air shifted. He didn't slam the door, he didn't need to. The silence he left behind was louder than anything else.I stood there for a second, watching the space where he'd been, thoughts racing faster than I could organize them. Then I exhaled sharply, dragged a hand down my face, and walked out. My heels clicked against the polished floor as I moved toward the exit, and the cool night air hit my skin the moment I stepped outside, but it did nothing for the storm building in my head.By the time I got into the car I shut the door harder than I meant to. "Shit," I muttered, dropping my head back against the seat.Everything was wrong. No witnesses. No clear timeline. No alibi. And every piece of evidence pointed directly at Selena, arranged with a neatness that didn't happen by accident. This is bad, I thought. This is very bad.My phone rang. I glanced at the screen and something in me unclenched slight

    SELENA'S POV"Get that off her hands. Now."His voice cut through the room like something cold and precise. Not loud, Alexander was never loud when he was truly dangerous. The prosecutor frowned. "This is an active investigation…" Alexander took one slow step forward, his gaze hardening in a way that made the air in the room change. "I said remove it."Silence fell completely. Then the officer beside me shifted, a key clicked, and the metal loosened from my wrists. My hands dropped into my lap, heavy and numb. Red marks circled both wrists where the cuffs had bitten in. I stared at them without moving.Alexander's gaze moved over the marks, and something in his expression shifted, just briefly, just enough, before hardening again as he turned back to the prosecutor. "If you have evidence, present it properly. If not, stop treating her like a criminal."Prosecutor Daniel scoffed. "She was found at the scene. Alone. With the weapon."My stomach dropped. The gun. The gun that had been i

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   SIXTY THREE: LOCKED UP

    SELENA'S POV This can't be happening.The words echoed through my head as sirens screamed around me, drowning everything else out. My hands were still raised, still shaking, still stained with her blood."I didn't do anything.." My voice came out broken before a rough hand grabbed my arm and yanked me forward."Drop to your knees!""You're under arrest!""No … wait …I didn't…"Cold metal snapped around my wrists before I could finish the sentence. I couldn't process any of it. Everything felt unreal, like I'd been pulled sideways into a nightmare and couldn't find the seam to tear my way back through.The next thing I knew, I was in the back of a police car, wrists bound, head leaning weakly against the seat. Stephanie's face kept surfacing, her bruised eyes, her stillness, all that blood dark against the ground. My chest tightened so painfully I bit down on my lip to keep from making a sound, and tears slipped down my cheeks in silence.No, I whispered. But no one heard. Or n

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   SIXTY TWO: SET UP

    SELENA'S POV"Your fans want to know the truth."The room felt hotter. I heard Linda's voice in my head, never answer from panic and smiled. Small. Controlled."Interesting fans."He laughed. "So — is it true?"I crossed one leg over the other to hide the shaking. "I think your fans need hobbies." The crew laughed. Good. Deflect. But he didn't stop."Were you married to Kelvin Hart?"I held his gaze. "Yes." Murmurs moved through the set, no point denying public records."And did the marriage end because of infidelity?""No.""Then why?""Because I developed standards." Even the cameraman snorted. The interviewer chuckled despite himself, and something in the room shifted slightly in my direction. I felt it and held onto it."You're sharp," he said."I'm awake."He glanced at his card, then leaned in again. "So… the pregnancy rumor?" My fingers tightened in my lap. There it was, the landmine I'd been watching him walk toward since the segment began. I could deny it, deflect again, bu
