SARAH’S POV

The room went entirely, suffocatingly still.

I might have been out for three weeks, but my memory hadn’t been erased. My body was weak, my muscles felt like they had been hollowed out and filled with lead, but my mind was firing with a sudden, vicious clarity.

I hadn't forgotten that horrific night on the highway. I hadn't forgotten the blinding high beams, the terrifying, metallic crunch as my car stumbled, or the way the world spun violently out of control before everything went

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Ignoramus Right Hand Man

    Tyler's POV We were alone in my primary corner office at the Rider Group headquarters. I've not had a one on one conversation with Miller since the last time he was at mines. all of our transactions has been on phone mainly because I fear I might punch him in the face when I do. "The Madrid venue is completely secured, Tyler," Miller said, his voice carrying that familiar, smooth assurance that had earned my absolute trust for nearly a decade. He slid a sleek leather portfolio across the table, his eyes bright with a sharp, calculating enthusiasm. "The digital broadcast feeds are mirrored across three European financial networks. When you step up to deliver the opening address for the Spain retail contracts, the live translation will sync perfectly for the international brokers. It’s going to be flawless." I sat perfectly still in my high-backed leather chair, my hands folded loosely over my stomach. It took every ounce of executive discipline I possessed to keep my breathing stea

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   No One Understands You

    SARAH’S POV Dex’s family home was a modest, two-story house nestled against a row of towering pines. As I pulled up the gravel driveway, my hands gripped the steering wheel a little tighter. I smoothed down the front of my coat and stepped out into the crisp afternoon air, carrying a heavy basket of fresh fruit and baked goods Rosa had insisted on preparing. When I knocked on the oak door, it was opened by Clara, Dex’s widow. Her face was pale, the dark circles under her eyes telling the familiar story of sleepless, grief-stricken nights, but her expression softened when she recognized me. "Ms Hale" she whispered, stepping aside to let me into the warm, dimly lit entryway. "You shouldn't have driven all the way out here. You're still recovering yourself." "I needed to see you, Clara," I said softly, setting the basket down on the small console table and drawing her into a gentle, genuine embrace. She felt incredibly fragile in my arms, her shoulders shaking slightly before she p

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Patriarchal Advise

    Our relationship had always been thin, stretched to its absolute breaking point by years of silent battles, control games, and his relentless, suffocating desire to mold me into a carbon copy of himself. To Byron Rider, business wasn't just a career, and he had always viewed my collaborative, trusting nature as a fundamental flaw in the family bloodline.Yet, as I stood by the towering bookshelves, my fingers tightly tracing the edge of the manila envelope Sam had compiled, I knew there was only one man in the entire tri-state area who truly understood how to handle a betrayal of this magnitude. Irrespective of the decades of resentment between us, irrespective of his controlling nature, my father had spent his entire life swimming in a dark ocean filled with corporate sharks. If I wanted to survive this structural collapse, I needed the perspective of the apex predator who had taught me how to walk.My father sat behind his massive, carved oak desk, his silver hair immaculate, his ta

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   A Snitch in His Circle

    "There is absolutely no way you are being serious right now, Sarah," I said, my voice coming out rough. I dropped the photograph onto the center table, shaking my head not wanting to believe everything she had just laid at my feet.I took a heavy step toward the center of the room, my hands coming up to rub against my temples as a sharp, pulsing ache began to bloom behind my eyes. I looked back at her, desperation bleeding into my tone. "Sarah, listen to what you are actually saying. I know you and Miller have never exactly seen eye-to-eye. But coming up with a story about him working against me behind closed doors? This is extreme, even for you."Sarah stayed perfectly still on the leather sofa, her brilliant blue eyes locking onto mine with pity that only made my stomach twist violently."Tyler," she began softly, her voice carrying a calm, grounded weight that I desperately wanted to tear down. "Look at me. Do you really think I would walk into your home, bring a private investigat

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   The Puzzle

    Tyler's POV The quiet inside my townhouse felt entirely different without the chaotic, beautiful noise of Caleb and Leena running down the hallways. The expansive living room was bathed in the gray light of the late afternoon, the heavy silence between Sarah and me magnified by the sheer weight of everything we were hiding from the rest of the world.I stood by the marble fireplace, a half-empty glass of scotch resting in my hand, watching Sarah as she sat on the leather sofa. She looked remarkably composed, dressed in a sharp ivory blazer that practically radiated executive control, but I knew her too well. I could see the tight, almost imperceptible line of her shoulders, the way her fingers traced the edge of her phone with a rhythmic, mechanical precision."I appreciate you driving out here without a detail, Sarah," I began, my voice low as I took a slow sip of the amber liquid. I leaned against the mantle, my mind already racing through the legal defenses we had drawn up over th

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Something Fishy Is Going On

    SARAH’S POV "He’s not backing down, Sarah," Tyler said, his voice ringing from the Bluetooth speaker of my car. "I sat across from him, he’s completely broke because his accounts have been frozen, now he’s using the only leverage he thinks he has left. He’s demanding access to Leena." A cold spike of adrenaline shot through my veins. I gripped the wheel tighter, my eyes darting to the rearview mirror as if expecting to see Norman lurking in the traffic behind me. "You met with him? Tyler, why on earth would you go behind my back and meet with Norman without telling me first?" "I wasn't trying to go behind your back," Tyler countered smoothly, though I could hear the defensive edge in his voice. "When he first reached out, I didn't think it was necessary to drag you into it." "Nothing about Norman is simple, Tyler, and you know that," I snapped, my heart hammering against my ribs as the familiar, suffocating weight of our past began to press down on me. "What exactly did he say?"
