  • Carrying The Billionaire's Child    Chapter 35-Cassandra's Downfall Begins

    Monday Morning - Three Days After the Press ConferenceDetective Maria Rodriguez sat across from Sebastian in his office, a thick folder open on the desk between them.“Mr. Vale,” she said, her voice very professional. “We've completed our preliminary investigation into the incidents you reported. The brick through your windows, the threatening messages, the leaked audio. What we found is... extensive.”Sebastian leaned forward. “Tell me.”Elara sat beside him, her hand in his. She had refused to stay home, and insisted on being here for this.Detective Rodriguez pulled out several documents. “The brick was easy to trace. Security cameras from the building across the street caught the person who threw it. A man named Derek Chen.”“The private investigator,” Sebastian said, his jaw tight.“Yes. Mr. Chen has been employed by Cassandra Whitmore for the past four months. When we brought him in for questioning, he... cooperated extensively. In exchange for immunity, he provided us with eve

    One hour laterElara sat on her bedroom floor, back against the locked door, listening to Sebastian pace outside.He had been out there for twenty minutes.He hadn't knocked. He hadn't demanded she come out. He just... paced.Like he was trying to figure out what to say.Her phone lay silent beside her, she jad turned it off after the hundredth hateful message.Whore. Gold digger. Kill yourself.The words echoed in her mind.She pressed her hands to her stomach, where their baby was growing.“I'm sorry,” she whispered. “I'm so sorry you're going to grow up with this hanging over you.”A soft knock at the door.“Elara.” Sebastian's voice was quiet and controlled. “I need you to listen to me. You don't have to respond. You don't have to come out. Just listen.”She didn't answer.“I've made a lot of mistakes in my life,” he continued through the door. “My father's suicide. The years I spent building walls. The way I approached you that first night. But Elara, loving you is not one of the

    The day After the GalaCassandra Whitmore sat in her Park Avenue penthouse, staring at her phone screen.The photo had been posted by Page Six at midnight.Sebastian and Elara on the dance floor. His hands on her waist. Her arms around his neck. Both of them looking at each other like nothing else existed.The caption read: “Sebastian Vale Makes It Official: Billionaire Goes Public with Pregnant Girlfriend at Vale Enterprises Gala”Below it, dozens of other photos from the same night.Sebastian's hand on Elara's back as they walked the red carpet.Sebastian introducing her to board members with pride.Sebastian kissing her in front of everyone.And in every single photo, he looked happy.Devastatingly, infuriatingly happy.Cassandra's hand tightened on her phone until her knuckles went white.She had spent six months with Sebastian Vale. Six months trying to get him to look at her the way he looked at that girl in these photos.Six months of perfect behavior. Perfect appearance. Perfec

    “Absolutely not.”Sebastian looked up from his laptop, eyebrows raised. “I haven't even told you what it is yet.”“You have that look,” Elara said, settling onto the couch across from his desk. “The look that says you're about to ask me to do something I won't want to do.”“I don't have a look.”“You absolutely have a look.” She pointed at his face. “Right there. That's the look.”Despite himself, Sebastian smiled. “Fine. I have a look. But hear me out before you say no.”“I already said no.”“Elara.”She sighed dramatically. “Fine. What is it?”Sebastian closed his laptop and leaned back in his chair. “Vale Enterprises is hosting a charity gala Friday night. It's our annual fundraiser, biggest event of the year. Investors, board members, major clients. Everyone who matters will be there.”“And you want me to go with you,” Elara finished.“As my girlfriend,” Sebastian clarified. “Officially. No more hiding. No more pretending you're just someone I'm protecting. I want to introduce you

  • Carrying The Billionaire's Child    Chapter 31- The Morning After

    Elara woke slowly, wrapped in warmth.For a moment, she didn't remember where she was.Then she remembered what happened in bits.Soft sheets. Unfamiliar windows. An arm around her waist. A hand resting protectively on her stomach.Sebastian's bed.She was in Sebastian's bed.Naked.After last night.Heat flooded her face as memories washed over her. The dinner. The confession. Coming home and finally, finally letting herself have what she had been denying for weeks.Him.Behind her, Sebastian's breathing was deep and even.He was still asleep.Elara lay very still, not wanting to wake him, not wanting this moment to end. Because right now, wrapped in his arms, everything felt simple.Real.Safe.“You're awake,” Sebastian's voice rumbled against her back, rough with sleep.So much for him being asleep.“How did you know?” Elara whispered.“Your breathing changed.” His arm tightened around her waist. “And you went very still. Like you're trying not to wake me.”“I didn't want to distu

    The car ride home was silent.But not the comfortable silence they had developed over weeks of living together.This was different.Charged.Electric.Elara sat beside Sebastian, hyperaware of every point of contact, his hand holding hers, his thigh inches from hers, the heat radiating from his body in the enclosed space.I'm in love with you.The words echoed in her mind, over and over.He had said them. Out loud. In a room he had rented specifically to make her feel special. With a dinner he had planned around every tiny preference she had mentioned in passing.He loved her.And she.God, she was terrified.Because she felt it too. Had been feeling it for weeks, maybe longer. That pull. That need. That overwhelming sense that Sebastian Vale had become essential to her existence.The car pulled into the underground garage.Marco opened the door.Sebastian helped her out, his hand never leaving hers.They rode the elevator in silence and walked into the penthouse in silence.And then
