Lucien did not call her immediately.

For the first time since the thought had taken root, he held himself back—not out of hesitation, but because something in him had shifted from impulse to precision.

If the past had been manipulated, then rushing forward blindly would only make him easier to control again.

And Lucien Carter had never been a man who liked being controlled.

Still—

That didn’t stop the pull.

He stood by the window of his study, phone in hand, the city stretching en

  • Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant   Chapter 69: Lines Drawn in Silence

    Aira didn’t sleep that night. Not because she couldn’t, but because every time she closed her eyes, the same image formed without permission—Lucien standing across from her, composed, unyielding, turning something deeply personal into something legal. By morning, the decision had already settled in her chest. If Lucien wanted to make this a battle— Then she would meet him there. But on her terms. The building looked exactly as she remembered. Tall, polished, intimidating in a quiet, deliberate way. Nothing about it had changed, and somehow that only made her more aware of how much she had. Aira stepped out of the elevator, her posture straight, her expression calm. She didn’t wait at the reception desk. She didn’t he

  • Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant   Chapter 68 : Terms He Didn’t Agree To

    Lucien did not return to Aira’s apartment the next day. He didn’t call either. And somehow, that silence unsettled her more than his presence had. Aira felt it the moment she woke up—the quiet, calculated stillness that always came before something shifted. Lucien Carter was not impulsive. If anything, he was deliberate to a fault. Showing up unannounced had been a reaction. What came after would be intention. That was what made it dangerous. She went through her morning slowly, more aware than usual. Zayn sat at the table, happily talking about something that had happened at daycare, his small hands moving animatedly as he spoke. Aira smiled, nodded, responded when she needed to, but her mind kept drifting. There was a weight she couldn’t ignore. 

  • Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant   Chapter 67 :The Space He Filled

    Aira didn’t sleep much that night. It wasn’t fear that kept her awake. It was awareness—the kind that settled quietly in her chest and refused to loosen its hold. Things had shifted, and no matter how still the apartment felt, she could sense it. Lucien had seen Zayn. There was no undoing that. She lay on the couch with a blanket pulled loosely over her, her gaze fixed on the faint glow spilling from the hallway. Zayn’s nightlight cast a soft, steady warmth against the wall, and she focused on it, grounding herself in something constant. That was what mattered. That was what she had built. Everything else—Lucien, the past, the tension slowly creeping back into her life—was secondary. Or at least, that was

  • Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant   Chapter 66 : What He Saw

    Lucien didn’t go home immediately after leaving Aira’s apartment. Instead, he drove without direction, letting the city stretch endlessly before him while his mind remained fixed on a single moment he couldn’t shake. Zayn. Even thinking the name felt different now—heavier, more real. It wasn’t just a possibility anymore, not something distant or abstract. It had a face. A voice. A presence that had stood just a few feet away from him, looking up with innocent curiosity, completely unaware of how much that single moment had shifted everything. Lucien tightened his grip on the steering wheel as the memory replayed again. The boy’s eyes. The quiet confidence in the way he stood. The unmistakable familiarity that didn’t need explanation. There had been no doubt in that room. Not even for a second.

    The knock came sooner than Aira expected. Too soon. She had barely cleared the table. Barely convinced herself to stay calm. Barely prepared— For this. Zayn was in the living room, sprawled on the rug with his toys, humming softly to himself. Normal. Everything looked normal. But nothing felt that way. The knock came again. Firm this time. Certain. Aira didn’t move immediately. She didn’t need to look through the peephole. She already knew. Lucien. Her chest

  • Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant   Chapter 64: You Don’t Get to Decide Alone

    Lucien didn’t sleep. Not because he couldn’t. Because his mind refused to be still. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw the same thing. Aira. Standing there like nothing had changed. Like the years between them didn’t exist. And the child. His jaw tightened slightly as he stared up at the ceiling. Because there was no confusion there. No doubt. No question left unanswered. The child was his. What unsettled him wasn’t the truth. It was everything that came after it. Three years. ⸻
