Selene did not believe in coincidence.

Not when it came to people.

Not when it came to timing.

And definitely not when it came to children who looked too much like the men they were never supposed to belong to.

She sat in her car across the street long after Aria had disappeared into the apartment building.

The engine was off.

The silence was thick.

But her mind—

Her mind was loud.

Zayn.

She rolled the name slowly in her head.

Three years old.

Dark hair.

Familiar eye

  • Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant   Chapter 104 : Stay Tonight

    Aira didn’t realize she was still holding her breath until the apartment door clicked shut behind them. The sound echoed softly through the apartment, followed by silence. Not the peaceful kind. The heavy kind. The kind that settled after too many truths had been uncovered in a single day. She dropped her keys onto the kitchen counter and stood there for a moment, staring at nothing. The meeting with Elias replayed relentlessly in her mind. Victor Laurent. The Beaumont inheritance. The missing heir. The threats. Every answer seemed to create three new questions. And somehow, despite everything, the part that frightened her most wasn’t the mystery itself. It was the possibility that someone had spent years watching her life unfold. Watching her pregnancy. Watching her son. Watching her. A shiver crawled down her spine. Without thinking, she wrapped her arms around herself. Across the room, Lucien moved toward the windows. His movements were cal

  • Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant   Chapter 103 : Too Close

    The silence that followed Elias’s revelation lingered heavily in the room. Rain drummed softly against the windows, filling the space where words should have been. Aira stared at the documents spread across the table, but she wasn’t really reading them anymore. Her mind was elsewhere. A missing heir. A vanished investigator. Decades-old secrets. And somehow, all of it had led back to her son. She wrapped her arms around herself. The realization should have made her angry. Instead, it made her tired. Deeply tired. Across the table, Lucien was still reading through the files. His expression remained controlled, but Aira knew him well enough to see the tension hidden beneath the surface. His jaw had tightened. A muscle ticked in his cheek. The same signs he used to show whenever something was bothering him but he refused to admit it. For a moment, she found herself staring. Three years. Three years apart. And somehow she could still read him better

  • Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant   Chapter 102 : The Truth Carter Buried

    The drive to the office passed in near silence. Rain tapped softly against the windows while the city lights blurred into streaks of gold and white beyond the glass. Aira sat in the passenger seat staring ahead, her thoughts tangled around a single name. Victor Laurent. The name had appeared twice within twenty-four hours. Once through an anonymous message. Then through a sealed file. Neither occurrence felt accidental. Beside her, Lucien’s expression remained unreadable. His hands rested firmly on the steering wheel, but she could sense the tension beneath his calm exterior. Every answer they uncovered seemed to raise even more questions. By the time they arrived, Elias was already waiting. He led them into a private conference room without a word. Several files sat spread across the table. Lucien immediately noticed the look on his friend’s face. Something had changed. “You found something,” he said. Elias nodded. “I found the reason the f

  • Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant   Chapter 101 : The Name That Changed Everything

    For a moment, nobody spoke. The silence that settled over the apartment felt heavy, almost tangible, pressing against the walls and filling every corner of the room. Outside, rain tapped softly against the windows, but even that distant sound seemed muted beneath the weight of Elias’s revelation. Lucien stood motionless, the phone still pressed to his ear. Beaumont. The name echoed through his mind with unsettling force. Across from him, Aira felt her stomach tighten. She knew that surname. Everyone did. The Beaumont family wasn’t merely wealthy. They were one of those names people spoke carefully, a family whose influence stretched through business, politics, and old social circles that most ordinary people would never even glimpse. Their history with the Laurent family went back decades, intertwined in ways outsiders could only speculate about. And suddenly, a possibility neither of them had considered began to take shape. Victor Laurent had never been the center o

  • Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant   Chapter 100: What She Never Told Him

    Lucien didn’t miss the change in her expression. It happened quickly. So quickly that most people would have overlooked it entirely. But Lucien had spent years studying people. Negotiating with them. Reading the things they tried to hide behind carefully controlled expressions. And what he saw on Aira’s face wasn’t confusion. It was recognition. The realization settled heavily between them. Neither spoke for several seconds. Outside, the city continued as though nothing had changed. Cars moved below. Distant sirens echoed somewhere far away. Life carried on. Inside the apartment, however, everything felt suspended. Aira looked away first. Her pulse had become painfully loud in her ears. Victor Laurent. The name had followed her twice in less than twenty-four hours. First through an anonymous message. Now through Lucien. That wasn’t coincidence. It couldn’t be. Lucien took a slow step forward. “You know that name.” It wasn’t a question. Aira

  • Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant   Chapter 99: The First Name

    Aira barely slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the photograph again. Zayn walking out of school. The angle. The distance. The certainty that someone had been watching him long enough to know exactly when he would leave. By dawn, she had given up on sleep entirely. The apartment was still quiet as she stood in the kitchen, staring absentmindedly into a cup of coffee that had long since gone cold. Outside, the city was slowly waking up, but inside the apartment everything felt strangely suspended, as though time itself had slowed. Her phone rested beside her. Silent. For the first time in years, she found herself wishing it would ring. Wishing Lucien would call. The thought alone was enough to make her laugh bitterly. Three years ago, she had spent countless nights convincing herself that distance was necessary. That staying away from him was the safest decision for everyone involved. Now she wasn’t so sure anymore. The vibration of her phone

  • Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant   Chapter Six: You Don’t Look At Me Like That

    He showed up that evening without telling her. No message. No warning. Just the sound of the door unlocking again. She stiffened. “You still have that key?” she asked when he stepped inside. “Yes.” “You’re supposed to give it back.” “I will.” But he didn’t. He stood there for a

  • Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant   Chapter Five: The Appointment

    Aira didn’t tell him about the second appointment. She almost did. When the reminder notification popped up that morning, her first instinct was to text him. Not because she wanted comfort. Just because for three years, he had been the person she informed about everything. Running late. R

  • Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant   Chapter Four: You Don’t Get to Let Go That Easily

    He came that evening. She heard his key in the lock. For a second, she forgot he still had access. The door opened. Lucien stepped inside like he had never left. The familiarity of it made something twist in her chest. “I’ll be quick,” he said. He walked toward the study.

  • Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant   Chapter Three: Unsettled Ground

    Aira thought she would feel relief after seeing him again.That was what she had expected. Closure. Distance. A clean emotional cut that would allow her to return to the quiet life she had carefully rebuilt.Instead, she felt restless.The apartment felt different that night. Smaller somehow. Like
