ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR SIXTY NINE: FORCE SUICIDE
DIEGO POV"I didn't kill her…"The words came out broken for what felt like the hundredth time. My hands trembled badly against the cold metal table as sweat gathered beneath my collar. The room suddenly felt too tight, too small, like the walls were slowly crushing the air from my lungs.Fear was eating me alive.Not fear of prison. Not fear of handcuffs or courtrooms or sentences measured in decades.Fear of murder. Because no matter how terrible I had been, no matter how many ways I had destroyed everything around me, I had never killed anyone before.The officer sitting across from me leaned back slightly, his eyes hard and flat like stone."Why did you kill her?"Again. Same question. Same glare. Same wall of disbelief staring back at me."I didn't," I repeated weakly."Liar!"His voice exploded through the room. I flinched violently as his fist slammed against the table, rattling everything on its surface."The bruises on her body!" he barked. "The domestic violence reports
ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR NOT HIM
ATTORNEY EMMA POVMy heart slammed once, hard, then years of training kicked in and every other emotion disappeared beneath cold instinct.Don't panic. Think.The knife pressed tighter against my throat, sharp enough that I felt the sting against my skin. His arm locked around me roughly, but his stance was all wrong. Too tense. Too emotional. Left foot too far back, weight leaning slightly right. Amateur. I kept my breathing completely even and counted.One move. That's all."I just want to talk, Diego."Silence. His grip tightened instantly. "How do you know my name?"Good. Fear, not confidence. "Because I think you know what really happened to Stephanie," I said carefully. "And I think you're the only one who can prove it."The knife didn't move away, but his arm loosened. Tiny mistake. Fatal mistake.I moved instantly. My hand shot up, gripped his wrist, and twisted hard. He cursed loudly. I dropped my weight, shifted my center of gravity, and flipped him cleanly over my shoulde

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
ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR FRAME
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
