ALEXENDER POV

The file finally loaded.I leaned back slightly, eyes narrowing at the screen.

Not her face.

Just… her back.

I exhaled sharply.

“Seriously?” I muttered under my breath.

The image was grainy, taken from a bad angle… but there was one thing clear.

A small mole.

Right at the center of her back.

My fingers tightened around the phone.

That night flashed through my head again.Her skin under my hands.

Soft. Warm.

My jaw clenched.

“Is this all?” I asked coldly.

Greg shifted beside me.

“Yes

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   MY MYSTERY LADY

    ALEXANDER POVMy steps halted the moment my eyes landed on her.It was subtle…so subtle no one else in the room noticed but to me, it felt like the world had just been ripped open.That mole….Right at the midline of her back.My breath hitched.For a second, everything around me blurred, the lights, the voices, the clicking of cameras and all I could see was that small, dark mark resting on her glowing skin like a signature I had seen before.No.It can’t be.My jaw tightened as I took a slow step forward, my gaze locked on her like I was afraid she would disappear if I blinked.The picture.The one Greg sent.The only clear detail we ever got of that mystery lady.The back…Same mole.My chest rose sharply.No… it’s a coincidence.It has to be.Selena…?I almost scoffed at the thought, forcing it down immediately. It didn’t make sense. Nothing about it made sense. That night was blurry, chaotic… but this…this woman standing before me, she was too real, too present, too close.And yet…

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   TWENTY SIX: THE SHOOT

    SELENA'S POV “No.” His voice came firm. Final. The word cut through the air before I could even open my mouth to respond. I blinked. For a second, I just stood there, my excitement crashing down almost immediately. I hadn’t even realized how much I wanted it until that moment, until it was already being taken away. I bit my lip slowly, forcing myself to stay quiet….Of course. Mrs. Blackwood is supposed to stay hidden. That’s the rule. “I’ve told you before, Linda,” Alexander said, his tone calm but unyielding, “my wife’s face won’t be all over those toxic media platforms.” Something about the way he said it made my chest tighten slightly. For a brief second…It almost sounded like he cared. But I knew better. It was the contract. Nothing more. “But sir,” Linda tried again, her voice a bit tense, “the launch is in three days. We can’t adjust the fitting, and we don’t have anyone with the exact measurements…” Alexander didn’t respond. He didn’t even look at her. That si

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   TWENTY FIVE: OFFICE DRAMA

    SELENA’S POVI stirred slowly, stretching my arms as a soft yawn escaped my lips. For a moment, I didn’t even remember where I was.Then I turned.And froze.My eyes landed directly on his face.Alexander Blackwood was right there… inches away from me, lying on his side, facing me.Peaceful.Calm.Not the arrogant, cold, impossible man I had come to know… but something softer. Something human.His lashes rested lightly against his cheeks, his breathing even, his lips slightly parted. There was no tension in his face, no sharp edge in his expression.Just… quiet.My chest tightened unexpectedly.I swallowed.Why does he look like this when he sleeps?I found myself staring longer than I should have, my eyes tracing his features, his jawline, the faint shadow of his stubble, the way his hair fell slightly over his forehead.This man that could make people tremble with just a look……looked so harmless like this.I shook my head quickly.“Stop it, Selena,” I whispered to myself.Not wanti

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR    TWENTY FOUR : GETTING HER

    KELVIN’S POVI held my phone tightly, my thumb hovering over the screen as her image stared back at me.The masked lady.Even with half her face hidden, there was no missing it, the curve of her waist, the fullness of her hips, the way she carried herself like she didn’t need validation from anyone. Confidence wasn’t something you could fake, and that woman… she wore it like a second skin.“Damn it…” I muttered under my breath, leaning back into the leather chair as I took a slow sip of my wine.Why must it always be him?Alexander Blackwood.The name alone left a bitter taste in my mouth.Everything about him irritated me. The way the media worshipped him. The way investors threw money at his feet. The way every industry he touched turned to gold.Fashion, film, media, luxury brands…name it, he owned it or controlled it.And here I was… still fighting for scraps at the top table.I clenched my jaw slightly, my grip tightening around the glass.No matter how hard I worked… no matter h

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   TWENTY THREE: AGAINST THE CONTRACT

    SELENA POVThe moment his hands held my waist, my breath caught, I couldn't look away and before I could process it, his lips touched mine, everything inside me went still.It wasn’t like the rushed, accidental brushes we’d shared before. This… this was deliberate. Slow. Intentional.His hand tightened slightly around my waist, pulling me closer like he was afraid I would slip away if he didn’t hold on properly. My fingers, which had instinctively curled into the fabric of his shirt, trembled against his chest.I could feel his heartbeat.Fast.Unsteady.Just like mine.For a second…just one second,I forgot everything. The contract. The rules. The hurt. The way he had pushed me away before.All I felt was him.Warm….Solid…Real.His lips moved gently against mine, not demanding, not forceful… just exploring, like he was trying to understand something he didn’t quite have the answer to yet.And that scared me.Because I liked it.God help me, I liked it.My body softened against his bef

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   CHAPTER TWENTY TWO: MOODY

    ALEXENDER POV I buried myself in work. It was the only thing that made sense. Numbers, contracts, schedules…everything followed structure, logic. Unlike emotions. Unlike the chaos Selena had stirred in me without even trying. The steady tapping of my keyboard filled the room, my eyes glued to the screen as I reviewed documents, signed approvals, and rejected anything that didn’t meet my standards. I forced my mind to stay there. Focused. Controlled. Not on her. Not on the fountain. Not on the way her lips felt against mine. A knock came at the door. I ignored it. Another second passed, then the door creaked open anyway. I didn’t bother looking up. Miss Margaret. I could tell from the quiet, measured steps. She walked in without a word and placed a cup beside me. The faint, familiar aroma reached me instantly. The tea. “You need it,” she said gently. “Sleep off the worries for tonight.” I said nothing, my fingers still hovering over the keyboard, unmoving now. I don’t
