Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant Chapter 94: Things That Should Have Stayed Buried
Aira didn’t realize she was staring until Zayn spoke again. “Mum?” She blinked and looked down at the drawing in his hands once more. Three figures. Him. Her. Lucien. Zayn followed her gaze quickly before speaking again, almost defensively. “Uncle Adrian was supposed to be there too, but I ran out of space.” Something in her chest tightened unexpectedly. Not because of what he said. Because of how quickly he felt the need to explain it. Aira forced a softer expression and brushed a hand lightly through his hair. “It’s okay, baby. It’s a nice drawing.” Zayn grinned immediately, satisfied with her answer, before jumping off the couch and running toward his room again. “I’m going to color it!” “Okay,” she replied quietly. The apartment fell silent again after he disappeared. Aira remained seated for a moment longer, her thoughts slower now. He was getting attached. Not carefully. Not cautiously. Naturally. And that was the dangerous part. Becau
Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant Chapter 93: Lines That Shouldn’t Be Crossed
Lucien didn’t call ahead. He didn’t need to. By the time he arrived, the house was quiet in the controlled, deliberate way it always was. The lights were dim but intentional, the space arranged with the kind of precision that suggested nothing was ever left to chance. Selene liked order. She liked knowing exactly where everything stood. Including people. He let himself in without knocking. She was in the living room, seated comfortably with one leg crossed over the other, a glass of water resting lightly between her fingers. The television was on, muted, the moving images casting soft light across the room. When she looked up and saw him, she didn’t startle. She didn’t even look surprised. If anything, there was the faintest trace of expectation in her expression. “You’re early,” she said, her tone easy, almost conversational. Lucien closed the door behind him, the soft click echoing just enough to shift the atmosphere. His gaze settled on her, steady and unreadable.
Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant Chapter 92: Boundaries
Aira did not go straight home after picking Zayn up. She sat in the car for a few minutes, the engine running, her hands resting on the steering wheel while Zayn talked beside her about something that had happened in class. She responded when needed, nodded at the right moments, but her mind was somewhere else entirely. What she had seen that morning—and what Zayn had confirmed that afternoon—didn’t leave room for doubt anymore. This wasn’t coincidence. This wasn’t harmless curiosity. This was deliberate. By the time she finally pulled out of the school parking lot, her thoughts had settled into something steady and clear. Whatever this was, she wasn’t going to wait for it to escalate before doing something about it. The apartment felt quieter than usual that evening. Zayn had finished his homework and was stretched out on the living room floor, completely absorbed in a cartoon, his laughter breaking through every now and then in short, careless bursts. Aira stood
Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant Chapter 91: Watching
Aira woke up with the same feeling she had gone to bed with. Not fear. Not even worry. Just awareness. It sat quietly at the back of her mind, refusing to leave, no matter how much she tried to ignore it. The memory of the previous night replayed in fragments—the kitchen, the silence, the look on Lucien’s face when his phone rang. She pushed the thought aside and got out of bed. There were more immediate things to focus on. By the time Zayn shuffled into the kitchen, still half-asleep and dragging his feet, breakfast was already ready. “Morning,” she said, setting a glass of juice in front of him. “Morning,” he mumbled, climbing into his chair. For a while, everything felt normal. The quiet rhythm of the morning settled in easily—small sounds, familiar movements, nothing out of place. Until Zayn spoke again. “Mum?” Aira glanced up. “Yes?” He hesitated, like he was trying to remember something properly. “There was a woman at school yesterday.” Aira’s hand paus
Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant Chapter 90: The Interruption
Lucien arrived earlier than expected. It wasn’t by much, but Aira noticed immediately. Zayn was still struggling with his shoes, sitting on the edge of the couch with his head bent in concentration when the doorbell rang. “I’ll get it!” he said quickly, jumping up before she could respond. “Zayn—” Aira started, but he was already halfway there. She followed anyway, her steps slower, more controlled. By the time she reached the door, it was already open. Zayn was smiling up at him. “You came early again.” Lucien’s expression softened slightly. “I had time.” It wasn’t a full explanation, but Zayn didn’t question it. He stepped aside, already pulling him in with the kind of ease that didn’t need permission. Aira stood a few steps away, watching. “You’re early,” she said. Lucien met her gaze. “You didn’t say I couldn’t be.” She held his eyes for a second, then moved aside. “Come in.” There was no resistance in her tone this time. No sharp edge. Just awareness. An
Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant Chapter 89: The Things We Dont Say
Aira didn’t sleep well that night. It wasn’t because anything had gone wrong. That would have been easier to deal with. Instead, it was the opposite. Nothing had happened. And somehow, that was worse. Her mind kept replaying the conversation with Lucien in small, quiet fragments. The way he had stood there. The way he hadn’t argued. The way he had simply… stayed present, without trying to control the outcome. It didn’t match the version of him she had spent years trying to forget. And that unsettled her more than anything else. By morning, she had already decided not to think about it. That decision lasted less than an hour. Zayn brought him up at breakfast. “Is Dad coming today?” he asked casually, spoon halfway to his mouth. Aira paused for a fraction of a second before answering. “No. Not today.” Zayn nodded, accepting it easily, but there was a small shift in his expression—something thoughtful, something expectant. “Tomorrow?” he asked. Aira fo
Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant Chapter 77 : The Space He Couldn’t Feel
Aira didn’t go home immediately. She walked. Not with direction, not with intention—just movement. The city stretched around her in muted noise, people passing, cars moving, life continuing as if nothing had shifted. But everything had. The conversation at the café lingered, pressing agai
Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant Chapter 75: The Meeting
The café Selene chose was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of place where conversations didn’t need to be loud to feel heavy. Soft music played somewhere in the background, blending into the low hum of distant voices, but none of it reached Aira. She noticed everything. The polished tables. The
Divorced Before He Knew I was Pregnant Chapter 71 : The First Move
Aira felt it before it happened. It wasn’t something she could explain logically, nor something she could point to as proof. It was a quiet, persistent tension that had followed her since the last time she saw Lucien. A shift in the air. In his tone. In the way he had started looking at her—not
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
