SELENA POV

He looked furious, not the usual cold, unreadable version of himself I had come to understand, but something sharper and deeper. His brows pulled together tightly, his jaw clenched so hard I could see the tension ripple beneath his skin. And his eyes were red. Not just from anger. From something broken underneath it.

I took a cautious step toward him, fingers trembling slightly at my sides. "I didn't mean to — I—"

"Just leave."

The words came out quiet and flat. He didn't eve

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   OLD SCHOOL REUNION

    LILLIANA POVI sat on my tiny bed staring at my phone, still trying to understand what had happened yesterday. I was dating Liam Salvatore.Well… Fake dating. My conscience screamed at me immediately.“It's fake!” I muttered, throwing myself backward onto the bed. “Fake dating. Don't start imagining nonsense.” I covered my face with both hands and groaned.“Yeah. They're all the same.”I wasn't even sure who I was talking about anymore.Men. Rich men. Handsome men.CEO men. I smiled to myself.Then my phone beeped. I picked it up lazily. The moment I saw the message, my smile disappeared.Old School Reunion — Tomorrow, 3 PM. Everyone is expected to come. And Liliana, don't forget to bring your boyfriend!I stared at the screen..“What?”Another message appeared almost immediately.‘Ramon already told us about him. We want to meet the famous CEO.’My mouth dropped open. “Damn!” I sat upright. “That damn Ramon!”Of course. That loser couldn't keep his mouth shut. I read the messages agai

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   THE CRAZY IDEA

    ELENA POVI had barely left Emma’s office when I found myself thinking about everything we had just discussed. My mind was already running through the things that needed to be arranged before the launch, but I pushed those thoughts aside as I drove back to Moretti Designs.There was still something I needed to finalize before I could leave for the day. By the time I returned to the office, the sun had already begun to disappear, leaving the city outside my windows covered in a soft orange glow. I worked through the last few documents, signed what needed my signature, checked the shipment details one more time, and finally leaned back in my chair with a tired sigh. I reached for my phone, intending to call Adrian and tell him I would be home soon, but before I could, the phone suddenly rang.“Mama…” My hand froze around the phone. It was Adrian. But his voice sounded low. Too low.“Adrian?” I immediately sat upright. “Are you okay?”“I… I don't know.”My heart dropped.“What do you mea

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   THE FACE BEHIND ELENA MORETTI

    ELENA POVI stood frozen.My back was pressed against the wall as the sound of heels slowly approached from the other side of the door.Click. Click. Click.Each sound seemed to grow louder.“Elena Moretti.” Calista’s voice.My fingers tightened around the glasses resting on my face. For a moment, I didn't move. Maybe it was time. Time to finally face her. I took a slow breath, then nodded to myself.Yes. I turned, letting my hair fall over my shoulder as I faced the door. The moment Calista stepped inside, her eyes searched the room.Her face was confused. Then her gaze landed on me. “Elena Moretti?”I said nothing. Slowly, I reached for my glasses. I took them off.Calista stared. Her lips parted. Her entire body seemed to freeze.“Selena…” The word barely left her mouth.I watched the realization spread across her face.First confusion. Then disbelief.Then fear.“Selena…” she whispered again. “You are Elena Moretti?”Her voice dropped to almost nothing. Horror slowly crossed he

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   A PAST LOCKED AWAY

    LIAM POVI sat behind my desk, staring at the documents in front of me.For the past thirty minutes, I had been looking at the same page without reading a single word.My mind was somewhere else. Actually, it was with someone else. I leaned back slowly.“Wait…” I frowned at myself. “Did I just say yes?”The memory came rushing back.Liliana standing in front of me in that simple dress, her eyes widening when I told her I accepted. The way she had stared at me as though she wasn't sure she had heard correctly.I’ll be your boyfriend. I covered my mouth, then chuckled. “I must be crazy.”Fake dating. I had actually agreed to fake dating a woman I barely knew.A woman who had walked into my office without an appointment, threatened to hit my receptionist, embarrassed herself in my bathroom, and somehow managed to turn my entire day upside down.And yet, I couldn't bring myself to regret it.I remembered the way she had looked at me when I said yes.“Really?” Her voice had carried so m

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   STOOD UP AND PLAYED

    ELENA POV I glanced at the clock on my desk and sighed.I had promised Adrian that I would take him out today, and somehow, my work had decided to fight me every step of the way.There were documents scattered across my desk, emails waiting for my approval, and several things concerning the California launch that still needed my attention. I rubbed my forehead before looking at the last file in front of me.“Just one more,” I muttered.I quickly signed the document and pushed it aside. I had barely reached for my phone when it beeped.A message from an unsaved number appeared on the screen.I smirked.It was definitely Kelvin. Who else would it be?I opened the message. ‘Remember our lunch. One hour.’A small chuckle escaped me. He really thought I was excited about this.I typed my response. ‘I’ll meet you there.’I sent it with a smile and dropped the phone into my bag.One hour. That was enough time to finish everything. And I did. By the time I closed the last file, the office w

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   THE FAKE BOYFRIEND

    LILIANA POV“What?”The word came from Liam’s mouth, and I immediately bit my lips. My hand moved to my hair as I suddenly became aware of how crazy I must sound. I had walked into this man's office, barely knew him, and now I was asking him to be my boyfriend. Even I would think I had lost my mind if I were standing in his position.Then he laughed.My face squeezed. Why was he laughing?Was I a joke?Yeah, right. You sound like a joke, my mind answered immediately.I glared at him, but perhaps my expression made him realize that I wasn't joking because his laughter slowly faded. He looked at me again, this time more carefully.“Wait.” He paused. “You're serious?”I nodded.He stared at me for another moment. “You want me to be your boyfriend?”I nodded again before quickly lifting a hand. “Don't misunderstand. I know you're handsome, and you just got your heart broken, and let's not forget the rich part.” I chuckled awkwardly. “But I'm not saying dating, dating. I mean… be my fake b

    SELENA'S POV My eyes slowly opened as the warmth of the morning sun brushed against my face. For a moment, I didn't move.
