Nathan POV

The envelope was thicker than I expected, it was plain. No name on the front, just the seal of the hospital in the upper left corner. I stared at it for a long time without moving, my fingers curling and uncurling against the arms of the chair.

I wasn’t in an office or a boardroom. I wasn’t facing down investors or legal teams. I was sitting alone in the backseat of a black SUV, the engine running idle outside the hospital, while my entire future hung in the balance of a single document.

The driver said nothing, eyes forward. I took a breath, then another, then I opened it.

The words were clinical, objective, rows of data, columns I didn’t understand and then, there it was, in bold: Probability of Paternity: 0.00%

My vision blurred, zero, not fifty, not ten, not even one. Just… zero.

The paper slipped from my hands and fluttered to the floor like a feather. It landed face up, the truth glaring back at me as if mocking everything I’d let myself believe these past months.

    Sophia’s POVThe silence after Nathan left was heavy. Not awkward—just still. The kind that settles like dust after a storm, when you realize the sky isn’t falling anymore.Alex sat back down beside me, his hand instinctively moving to Liana’s back. She was still asleep, a soft bundle of warmth curled against my chest. I leaned into the moment, inhaling the faint scent of her baby shampoo and sterile hospital sheets.“I didn’t think he’d actually come,” Alex said after a while, his voice low.“I think… he needed closure.” My fingers brushed over Liana’s wispy dark curls. “We all did.”Alex didn’t respond right away. He looked at me—not with suspicion or jealousy this time, but with something deeper. Understanding.“Are you okay?” he finally asked.That question. It landed harder than I expected. My eyes burned, but I didn’t cry. I couldn’t. There wasn’t enough energy left in me for tears.“I don’t know,” I whispered honestly. “I feel… relieved. And guilty. And sad. All at once.”His h

    Sophia PovI held her for the first time with trembling arms, her tiny body bundled in a pink blanket, her cries slowly calming as she nestled against my chest. The world around me blurred—doctors and nurses moving, Alex whispering something to one of them, the sound of hospital monitors beeping gently—but all I could see was her. My daughter, my baby girl.She was here.Warm tears slid down my cheeks as I gazed down at her. Her cheeks were rosy, her fingers impossibly small, curled into delicate fists. She blinked up at me with cloudy eyes, and it felt like my heart shattered into a thousand pieces. There was no fear in this moment. No pain, no chaos, just love.Alex sat beside me on the edge of the hospital bed, his eyes glassy, the weight of the last few hours finally settling over him. He reached out, brushing a lock of damp hair from my forehead, and then cupped our daughter's tiny foot in the palm of his hand. He let out a shaky breath.“She’s perfect,” he whispered.“She is,” I

    Sophia’s pov The recent weeks have been more than calm. Alex and I had tried to put enough distance between us and anything that would be an issue, since the baby is coming any moment from now. Everything is set for the arrival of the new child and it is almost like a dream come through.The only problem is the paternity of the child and very soon I would know if truly I am caused to actually be Nathan’s problem. The nxt morning was normal, as I tried to make breakfast for the family. as I stood by the stove, I felt a little cramp on my side which made me flinch. I ignored it, thinking the baby was kicking as usual. As I began to actually cook I felt a much pain cramp and it was like something burst inside of me. I looked down to see water flowing down my leg and I knew….“Alex!!” I screamed loudly at the top of my voice. Within a minute, Alex came running down with the speed of light, the look of fear in his eyes made me smile.“Babe, you called? What is wrong? Did you burn yoursel

    Alex’s POVThe morning sun barely filtered through the curtains when I woke up. It was still early, too early to be up, but I could feel Sophia shifting beside me, her warmth radiating through the thin sheets. I didn’t open my eyes right away. I simply listened—listened to the rhythm of her breathing, the gentle sound of rain tapping on the windows, the faint hum of the city coming to life outside.She was still asleep, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that something had shifted in the air. A sense of calm had settled over us, one that felt fragile, like it could break if we weren’t careful. The weight of the upcoming event—the charity gala that Sophia had agreed to attend the next evening—hung over us. It wasn’t about the gala itself. It was everything else.Lina had been adjusting to the idea of a new baby, and I could feel the change in the way she looked at Sophia, the way she touched her belly as if it were a precious thing. That part of it felt right. But the question of Nathan

  • After Divorce, I became the CEO of my Ex-Husband's Company    Chapter 181

    Sophia’s POVThe sun was just beginning to break through the clouds when I woke the next morning, the rain finally gone. Pale golden light slipped through the curtains, casting soft lines across the sheets. For a moment, I simply lay there and listened—not to rain this time, but to the stillness of the house. It was early and quiet.Alex was still asleep beside me, one arm draped loosely over my waist, his breathing deep and even. I turned slightly, careful not to wake him, and pressed a gentle kiss to his shoulder. The baby kicked in response, a tiny flutter like a secret being passed just between the two of us.I smiled.Eventually, I slipped out of bed and padded downstairs, deciding to enjoy the silence while I could. Mornings like this felt rare—unrushed, uncomplicated. I made tea and curled up on the couch with a blanket draped over my lap, watching the light grow stronger with each passing minute.Lina came down a little later, still sleepy-eyed, her bunny plush tucked under on
