SELENA'S POV

"Oh my gosh…"

The words came out in a breathless whisper as my eyes stayed glued to the screen. My fingers trembled slightly, scrolling through the flood of images, reposts, and headlines pouring in faster than my brain could process any of them.

"The picture is out .. you launched the gown?" I turned to Alexander, eyes wide. "You actually launched it?"

He let out a quiet breath, like he had been holding it in for a while. "The pictures went live today. The official launch is ne

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   BEHIND THE SCENE

    SELENA POVI still couldn't believe it was actually launch day.The past few days had been nothing short of completely, spectacularly chaotic and that was being generous.Rosy Maurer was sweet in the way that certain people are sweet before they have a job to do. Off the clock, she was warm and funny and the kind of woman who remembered how you took your coffee. The moment training began, however, she became an entirely different creature. Precise. Relentless. Immovable. The kind of professional who had built a career on the understanding that excellence was not negotiated, it was earned, repetition by repetition, correction by correction, until the right way became the only way your body knew."Head raised.""Shoulders straight.""Elegant, Selena. Not stiff. There is a difference.""Again."Her voice had taken up permanent residence somewhere in the back of my skull at this point. I heard it in the shower. I heard it while I was trying to sleep. I heard it every time I walked thro

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   CHAPTER 73: UNKNOWN OBSESSION

    SELENA POV"But… wait, I thought you contacted Rosy Maurer…"My brows pulled together as I stared at him, genuinely trying to piece it together."Yeah, I did." Alexander loosened his tie slightly and dropped onto the couch beside me with the easy, unhurried movement of someone who had already resolved everything in his head and was simply catching the rest of the world up. "Unfortunately, she slimmed down too much to fit the gown.""Oh…"I nodded slowly, processing that.So that was why.The silence stretched for a beat and then the full weight of it landed on me all at once. My eyes went wide."Wait…" I pointed at myself. "So I'm supposed to model it?"Alexander's lips twitched."And reveal my face?" I added quickly, rubbing my palms together against the sudden nervous energy moving through my hands. "Publicly publicly?""Hey." His voice dropped.. quieter, steadier.He leaned forward, elbows resting on his knees, dark eyes finding mine and holding them with that particular cal

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   FRAGILE GLASS

    SELENA POVIt had been two weeks since I got back home.Two whole weeks of the same four walls, the same ceiling, the same perfectly arranged pillows I wasn't allowed to rearrange because apparently even that qualified as unnecessary exertion. Two weeks of being watched, monitored, hovered over, and generally treated like something that might shatter if someone breathed too close to it.Alexander Blackwood had officially decided I was made of glass.I sighed dramatically and rolled over on the bed for what felt like the hundredth time since morning, staring up at the ceiling like it had personally wronged me in a previous life."Bored already?"Adriana's voice floated over from the couch, unbothered and deeply amused, where she sat cross-legged with a bag of chips balanced on her knee and my iPad propped shamelessly in her other hand."Already?" I turned my head to fix her with the flattest look I could manage. "Adriana, I am dying."She burst out laughing…the full, unrestrained kin

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   HOPE AGAIN

    SELENA POVMy heart shook violently inside my chest, each beat louder and more unsteady than the last.The entire courtroom had gone completely silent after the judge began speaking, the weight of my fate suspended in the air above me like a storm cloud swollen to its absolute limit. I could feel every eye in that room without looking at any of them. Every breath. Every stillness.My fingers moved unconsciously to my stomach.I swallowed hard, squeezing my eyes shut for just a second. Please…Then the judge's voice came again. Loud. Final. Cutting through every other sound in the world."For the case of Miss Selena Gidotti accused of the murder of Stephanie Stone…"My breath stopped entirely."Miss Selena Gidotti is hereby discharged and acquitted."A broken sound escaped my lips before I could stop it, something between a sob and a gasp that I had no name for. The tears came instantly after, hot and completely uncontrollable, blurring the entire courtroom into a wash of light and c

  • ACCIDENTALLY PREGNANT WITH THE BLACKWOOD HEIR   SEVENTY: VERDICT

    ATTORNEY EMMA POV I sighed for what felt like the hundredth time inside the car, my nerves completely shredded down to nothing. I couldn't believe today had finally come. The day Selena's fate would be decided, one way or the other, in front of everyone, with no more time to prepare and no room left for mistakes. My fingers tightened around the thick stack of documents resting on my lap. Evidence files, photographs, forensic reports, witness statements…everything I had managed to scrape together within such a brutally short window of time. I had worked through nights for this. Skipped meals. Ignored sleep. And still, sitting here now with the courthouse getting closer by the second, it didn't feel like enough. Diego's testimony was supposed to end everything today. I exhaled again, long and unsteady. Then I felt Lucas' warm hand close gently over mine. "You can do it, babe," he said softly. I turned to look at him. His calm, steady eyes found mine, and something about them q

  • 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
