[Sarah’s POV]

The drive back from the city was a blur of gray asphalt and flashing streetlights. Tyler sat in the passenger seat, uncharacteristically silent, the weight of the Julian Vane interview still hanging between us like a physical shroud. I pulled the car into the estate's gravel driveway, the tires crunching with a finality that usually brought me peace. Not tonight.

I barely had the engine off before I was through the front doors. I didn't even make it to the stairs to drop my bag

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Intoxicated By The Wine or The Man?

    [Tyler’s POV] I had secured a corner table, positioned perfectly so the city lights acted as a backdrop to the setting. I reached across the linen tablecloth, my fingers brushing against the back of Skye’s hand as I poured her another glass of a vintage that cost more than most people made in a month. I moved with a slow, deliberate grace, playing the part of the smitten gentleman with a precision that would have made my father proud."You look breathtaking tonight, Skye," I said, my voice dropping into that low, resonant tone I knew women found impossible to ignore. "The emerald suits you. It brings out the... fire in your eyes."Skye glowed as my compliment hit her soft spot. She leaned forward, the neckline of her dress dipping dangerously low, her gaze fixed on mine with a hunger that was entirely devoid of subtlety. "I was worried I’d be too much for a first date," she purred, her fingers trailing up the stem of her wine glass. "But you seem like a man who can handle 'too much.

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Just a Stoopid Plan

    [Sarah’s POV]"Ms. Hale? Mr. Rider is outside. He’s... well, he’s waiting by his car."I hadn’t been expecting him. We hadn't spoken since the tense meeting in the city, and he hadn't sent so much as a text warning me of his arrival. I stood up, smoothing the wrinkles from my silk trousers, and headed toward the front doors. My mind was already racing through a list of potential emergencies. Was it Caleb? Had Vivian made another move?When I stepped onto the porch, the afternoon sun was slanting across the lawn, gilding everything in a deceptive, peaceful gold. Tyler was leaning against the driver’s side door, looking effortlessly sharp in a charcoal suit. When he saw me, he offered a casual wave and a smile that didn't quite reach the predatory intensity of his eyes.I started down the steps, my pace quick and purposeful. "Tyler? I didn't know you were coming. Is everything alright with—""He’s here for me, Sarah."The voice came from behind me, dripping with a new found, honeyed con

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Bounded By a Legal Contract

    [Sarah’s POV]The glass-walled conference room overlooked the sharp, metallic skyline of Manhattan, but inside, the atmosphere was thick with the scent of old paper and new hostility. I sat at the mahogany table, my hands clasped tightly in my lap to hide the tremor I couldn't quite suppress. Beside me sat Agatha Coleman. Across from us, Vivian and Skye sat like two sides of a sharpened blade. Skye watched me with that same unsettling, wide-eyed intensity.Between us sat their counsel, a man named Flinn—no doubt a distant relation to Vivian who handled the documents before him as if they were fragile. "Shall we begin?" Flinn asked, his voice a dry rasp.He slid a heavy, cream colored envelope across the table toward Agatha. "This is the Last Will and Testament of Bernard Schfard, executed three years prior to his passing and held in a private trust under my firm’s supervision. It has been verified by the state’s probate database."Agatha didn't rush. She put on her reading glasses,

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Forming Allegiance

    [Tyler’s POV]Julian, a man who had been a bridge for some of my most lucrative business move, raised his glass as I sat down. "I know a lot has been going on, but you look like you’ve been wrestling with more than just the market, Tyler," he said with a knowing smirk.The private dining room at Delmonico’s was dimly lit, paneled in dark oak, and smelling of aged leather and expensive tobacco. I loosened my tie, the weight of the week finally beginning to settle in my shoulders"The market has become unpredictable, Julian," I replied, leaning back. "And people are starting to make life more complicated."He gestured to the bottle sitting in the chiller between us. It was a recent vintage from the Hale Winery. "Then let’s stick to what we know, my friend. I took the liberty of ordering this. I heard the new batch was exceptional, and I wanted to see if the rumors are true."The waiter poured a tasting, and I swirled the deep crimson liquid in my glass. The bouquet was complex... dark f

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Fake Love

    [Sarah’s POV]The three-hour drive to the outskirts of the county felt like an eternity, the hum of the tires against the asphalt providing a rhythmic backdrop to the guilt gnawing at my insides. I stared out the window as the lush, sprawling vines of the valley gave way to the more modest, lived-in charm of the countryside."Are you alright, Miss Hale?" Dex asked, his eyes flicking toward me in the rearview mirror."I’m fine, Dex," I lied, shifting in my seat. "I just... I should have come sooner. Alice gave her life to that estate, and the moment she retired, I let the chaos of my own life swallow the gratitude I owed her."I felt a pang of shame. I was only making this trip now because the foundation of my world was cracking. Alice was the one who had handed me the treasure box filled with the letters between Margaret and Byron Rider; she was the gatekeeper of the secrets that were currently dismantling my identity. I needed her wisdom, her memory, and her honesty.The boot of the

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Liar Liar Pants On Fire

    [Sarah’s POV]The silence of the house felt heavy, a physical weight pressing against my chest as I crossed the foyer. Caleb was gone, the valley was crawling with surveyors, and my own skin felt like a costume I had forgotten how to wear. I needed the grounding comfort of the kitchen—the smell of herbs, the warmth of the stove—to remind me that I still existed within these walls.But when I pushed through the swinging doors, the air didn't feel like mine.Rosa was at the sink, her back to me, but she wasn't alone. Skye was standing beside her, a dish towel draped over her shoulder, drying a stack of porcelain plates with a practiced, domestic ease. They were talking in low tones, the kind of quiet murmur that suggests a shared confidence.A sharp, jagged spark of something—anger, or perhaps a possessive jealousy I hadn't known I was capable of—flared in my throat. This was my kitchen. This was my safe space. And here was the girl who had infiltrated my business, now moving into the m
