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

  • 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

  • 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

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

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   SIXTY ONE: TMT INTERVIEW

    ALEXENDER POVContracts. Stacks of them, covering half my desk like punishment from the universe itself. I signed one file, pushed it aside, picked up the next, signed again and somehow the pile looked completely untouched.I leaned back and pinched the bridge of my nose. How does a company this size survive only by trying to kill me daily?The door cracked open. I didn't look up. Greg, only one person entered my office like a thief and stood like a schoolboy waiting for permission to breathe."Sir, the Director—""Not now, Greg." I flipped to the next document, eyes moving across figures and clauses. "I have enough on my plate. Add one more thing and I'll fire everyone in this building."He went silent. Smart man.I signed another page. Then another. Checked the clock. Noon. Damn."Sir," Greg said carefully, "the investor meeting."I froze. Looked at my watch. I had completely forgotten.I could reschedule, but later was already overcrowded. "Fine." I stood, and Greg immediately co

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   SIXTY: EXPOSED

    SELENA'S POV "I don't want you in that world anymore." I stared at him like I misheard. The room was quiet except for the low hum of the air conditioner and distant city noise bleeding through the glass, and Alexander stood a few steps away ,tie loosened, sleeves rolled, looking like a man trying to hold himself together. "But Xander…" My voice came out softer than I intended. "That has always been my dream. It's finally happening. I can't just stop." His jaw tightened. "I know." He stepped closer, eyes staying on mine. "I know, Selena." He dragged a hand through his hair. "The image of you falling into that pool… I can't erase it." He looked away briefly, then back. "You don't understand how toxic that world is. Smiles on the outside, poison underneath. I don't know what I was thinking when I let you in." When he let me in?. I almost argued. But the fear in his eyes stopped me, raw and unguarded in a way he rarely allowed. "What if something happens and I'm not there?" he conti
