SELENA POV

"Do you know he's a murderer…"

The voice came flat again, almost emotionless, yet it sent a chill straight through me. My fingers tightened around the phone as my eyes lifted slowly…

And landed on Alexander.

He was just stepping in from the balcony, calm and composed, like the world hadn't shifted beneath my feet.

"Who are you?" I managed, keeping my voice low.

A chuckle came from the other end. Not loud, not warm , just unsettling.

"The man you married," the voice continued,

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   THE DIVA IS BACK

    ELENA POVI remained in Alexander's arms for several minutes, unable to move.My tears had soaked through his shirt, but he didn't push me away. He simply held me, one hand resting gently against my back while I tried to steady the storm inside me.Calista.The name alone made my stomach twist.Six years.Six years of pain, unanswered questions, sleepless nights and memories I had buried so deeply that I convinced myself I had moved on.And now I knew the truth.She had been behind it.Behind the water.Behind the fall.Behind Stephanie's murder.Behind the destruction of everything I had with Alexander.I slowly pulled away and wiped my cheeks.Alexander didn't say anything. He simply picked up a bottle of water from the table and handed it to me."Drink."I took it from him and swallowed several mouthfuls."Are you okay now?" he asked quietly.I nodded."I'm done crying."The words sounded almost ridiculous considering the ache still sitting inside my chest, but I couldn't cry forever.

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   THE SHE DEVIL

    ELENA POVThe video continued to play.I couldn't breathe.My eyes were glued to the screen as the footage took me back to a day I had spent years trying to forget.The day of the Face of Oceania competition. The day everything changed. The room appeared on the screen. The same room where the contestants had been kept before the competition. I recognized the chairs, the tables, even the little mirror in the corner.Then I saw her.Vanessa.She walked toward me with a bottle of water in her hand.My heart began pounding.I watched as she handed the bottle to me.My younger self took it without suspicion, and placed it on the table.I remembered that moment.I remembered trusting her.Then the door opened.Calista walked in.My breath caught.She glanced around before walking toward the table.The same table.The same bottle.I watched as she reached for it.My fingers curled against my palm."No..." I whispered.She switched the bottles.Just like that.So simple.So calculated. The video con

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   EVERY CLOSED TRUTH

    ELENA POV"Xander…"His name left my lips before I could stop it. For a moment neither of us moved. Alexander stood a few steps away, his eyes fixed on me. Not Mr. Blackwood. Not the cold CEO everyone feared. Just Alexander. The man I had loved six years ago. The man I had spent six years trying to forget.He took one slow step toward me. Then another. "Selena…" His voice cracked slightly. I swallowed. "Six years." He stopped in front of me. "Six years, and I still don't know how I survived them without you."My chest tightened. I looked away."I searched for you every single day," he continued, his voice dropping lower. "Every city. Every person who might have known something. Every lead that came my way." I squeezed my fingers together. I didn't want to hear this. I didn't want to remember. But my heart betrayed me. It listened."I was angry at first," he said. "Then confused. Then terrified that something had happened to you." My eyes burned. "And when I finally found you…" He let

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   LET'S START AGAIN

    ELENA POV"No, don't overthink anything, Selena."I muttered the words under my breath. It was just a coincidence. The coffee. The suit. The memory. Nothing more. I had spent six years building a life for myself. I wasn't going to let one stupid accident drag me back into the past."Elena?"My heart skipped. I looked up. Alexander was still standing there. "I'm so sorry," he said, his eyes moving over the coffee stain on my suit. "It's okay." "Are you sure?" He looked genuinely concerned. "I can get you another outfit if you want." I almost laughed. "Alexander, I have thousands of outfits here." He nodded. "Okay."Just then Mama walked toward us. "Mr. Blackwood, the meeting is this way." Alexander nodded. I looked at him briefly. "You don't have to worry yourself." Then I walked past them. I refused to look back.*****************I changed quickly, out of the ruined suit and into one of my own designs. A fitted dress from my latest collection, elegant and stylish, simple enough

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   THE PAST HAS A WAY OF RETURNING

    ELENA POVI looked at the proposal again. Then at Mama. A slow smile crept across my face. "Set up a meeting tomorrow."Mama raised a brow. "Tomorrow?""Yes." I pushed the document toward her. "Both companies."She understood immediately. "Mr. Blackwood and Mr. Kelvin?""Exactly."She nodded and picked up her tablet. "Yes, ma'am."As she walked away I leaned back in my chair. Well, well. My past really had decided to chase me from every direction. First Alexander. Now Kelvin. What was next? I sighed and rubbed my forehead. I didn't have time for this. I had Adrian to worry about, a company to run, and a collaboration to secure. And apparently two men from my past had decided to make my life interesting again."Mama." She stopped at the door. "Yes?" "Thank you. You can go." She nodded. "Take care of yourself, Elena." "I will." She left. I looked toward the hospital room. At least Adrian was getting better. That was what mattered. Everything else could wait.********************

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   THE THINGS WE DON'T SAY

    ELENA POVI couldn't wait to get out of the hospital. Not because I hated being there, but because every time I looked at Adrian lying in that bed, my heart tightened. He was doing better now. The doctors were pleased with his recovery, but they still wanted to keep him under observation a little longer. And I wasn't taking any chances.I sat beside his bed, watching him sleep. Six years of fear had taught me one thing, never take a peaceful moment for granted."Are you staring at him again?"I turned. Adriana stood by the door with her arms folded. "I wasn't."She raised a brow. "You've been staring at him for almost ten minutes.""He's my son.""And he's sleeping.""So?"She shook her head. "You're impossible." I smiled faintly. Then my eyes moved back to Adrian.A voice came from the other side of the room. "So, young CEO." Adrian's eyes opened slightly. I looked over. Liam was sitting beside him. "What?" Adrian murmured sleepily. "You're planning to take over the company soon?

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   CHAPTER THREE: LAST TIME

    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. My head was heavy, my body sore in places that made memories of last night rush back like a sudden wave, the club, the drinks, the stranger. My heart skipped. Slowly, I turne

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   CHAPTER TWO: SHATTERED

    SELENA POV I stood frozen. Tears poured down my cheeks, my body shaking violently. I wanted to go there, to tear them apart with my bare hands, to scream until my lungs gave out, but I couldn’t move. My husband… fucking my best friend. My best friend… I could barely breathe. I turned to leave,

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   CHAPTER ONE: BETRAYAL

    SELENA POV“Congratulations, Mrs. Hale. You’re two weeks pregnant.”The doctor’s voice stretched forward with a smile, hands reaching out as if expecting joy. But my body refused to follow. My temple throbbed, sweat prickling against my skin. My hands trembled, my legs vibrating under me. No. No,

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   CHAPTER FIVE: MR BLACKWOOD

    SELENA'S POV "Do I know you from somewhere?" My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. For one terrifying second, I thought I had been caught, that he had remembered, that he would suddenly recognize the woman who had shared a night with him and disappeared without a word. I forced my face to rema
