Curvy Queen by Contract - Luna by Fate 46
SCARLETT'S POV“Rowan has begun investigating the identity of your unborn child's father,” Jordan said, and I read the final paragraph of the intelligence report twice before folding it again. My hand moved instinctively over my stomach as I asked, “Why now?” Jordan's expression hardened before he replied, “Because Rowan has finally realized the woman he discarded is carrying a child while sitting beside another man's throne.”“He knew I was pregnant before I left,” I reminded him as I handed the report back. Jordan took it and said, “Knowing you were pregnant and seeing your child recognized as a royal heir are different things.” I looked toward the palace windows where guards were preparing for the first foreign delegation and replied, “Then Rowan can continue investigating. We have more important people to disappoint today.”Jordan stared at me before asking, “Disappoint?” I adjusted the sleeve of my green gown and explained, “Three kingdoms are coming to see whether your assassina

JORDAN'S POV“Your father will protect you,” I had whispered, and hours later, I still could not explain why the words had felt so natural. I sat alone in my study long after the palace had gone quiet, staring at a security report I had already read three times without understanding a single sentence because my mind kept returning to Scarlett's chambers and the movement beneath my hand.The child was not mine. I knew that truth better than anyone because Scarlett had never hidden her pregnancy from me, and our contract had addressed the matter before we married. Her child would be publicly recognized as the royal heir while our arrangement lasted, but my personal claim ended when the marriage did. At the time, I had agreed without hesitation because the baby had been nothing more than another detail requiring protection.“So why did you call yourself the father?” I asked the empty room. No one answered, which was fortunate because I doubted I wanted to hear another person's explanatio

SCARLETT'S POV“Because the thought of losing you terrifies me,” Jordan said, and for the first time since I had met him, I had absolutely nothing to say. I stared at him while the room seemed to become painfully quiet around us, and although part of me waited for his usual teasing smile or some clever comment that would make the words less serious, neither came.Jordan looked away first and cleared his throat before saying, “What I mean is that losing the Queen now would create serious problems for the kingdom.” I continued staring at him as he walked toward the table and picked up a report he clearly had no interest in reading. “The council is already divided, foreign delegations are arriving, and our marriage contract would become difficult to explain if something happened to you,” he added.“You are explaining too much,” I told him quietly. Jordan's fingers tightened around the report as he replied, “I am explaining the situation.” I folded my arms and asked, “Which situation? The

JORDAN'S POV“Someone paid them to challenge the Queen's position,” Lord Theron repeated after I ordered him back into the council chamber. Scarlett stood near the window with her arms folded, while Elias closed the doors behind us and dismissed the remaining guards. I looked at Theron and asked, “How certain are you?” The older adviser met my gaze before replying, “Certain enough that I would not have approached Her Majesty without evidence.”“Then show us,” I ordered. Theron reached inside his coat and placed a folded document on the table before explaining, “My nephew works with the western treasury houses. Three days ago, he noticed unusual payments connected to families represented on this council.” Scarlett moved closer and asked, “Which families?” Theron hesitated before answering, “Harland, Marius and two western nobles who attended today's meeting.”I opened the document and studied the numbers. “These amounts are too small to purchase an army,” I observed. Theron nodded and

SCARLETT'S POV“They are demanding the Queen be removed from power,” the guard said, and for several seconds, I wondered if I had misunderstood him. Jordan became completely still beside me before asking, “Which council members?” The guard hesitated and replied, “Lord Harland is leading them, Your Majesty, but Lords Edwin, Marius and several western nobles are also present.”“I want every name before I enter that chamber,” Jordan ordered as he moved toward the door. I immediately followed him, but he stopped and turned toward me before saying, “You are staying here.” I stared at him and asked, “Did you forget who they are discussing?” His expression hardened as he replied, “No, Scarlett. I remember exactly who they are discussing, which is why I will handle it.”“You just told me my seat remains beside yours,” I reminded him. Jordan stepped closer and lowered his voice as he said, “And it does, but Alden ordered you to avoid unnecessary stress.” I laughed without amusement before aski

JORDAN'S POV“Your Majesty, the Queen's stress is beginning to affect the child,” Alden said, and every thought in my head disappeared. I stared at him across the desk while his warning settled in my chest, then asked, “What exactly does that mean?” Alden remained calm as he replied, “It means you need to listen before frightening yourself with conclusions I haven't given you.”“Is my child in danger?” I demanded as I moved around the desk. Alden sighed before answering, “The child is healthy at this moment, Jordan.” I stopped beside him and asked, “At this moment?” His expression tightened as he explained, “Scarlett's body is recovering from an injury while also supporting a pregnancy. She needs proper food, sleep and considerably less stress than she is currently allowing herself.”I thought about the library after midnight, the council documents spread across our chambers and every time Scarlett had waved away her pain because there was something more important to do. “She said she
