[Sarah’s POV]

Norman’s heart was still thundering against my chest, and I was pinned to the counter, praying that the oak door was thick enough to hide the sound of my ragged breathing.

Norman let out a low, frustrated breath against my neck before slowly, reluctantly, pulling away. He adjusted his clothes with a steady hand that I envied, while I scrambled off the counter, my legs shaking. I fumbled with my trousers, zipping them up and smoothing my shirt with trembling fingers.

Norman walked

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   You Took The Magic

    [Sarah’s POV] Usually, this was my hour of stillness, the time when the house settled into a comfortable hum of clinking silverware and the distant, rhythmic lowing of cattle. But tonight, the air in the house felt heavy, displaced by a presence that didn’t belong. I stood in the doorway of the sunroom, my arms crossed tightly over my chest. The furniture had been pushed to the walls to make room for a travel cot draped in a plush, pink cashmere blanket that screamed of Madison Avenue boutiques. Leena sat on the rug, her small legs tucked under her. She was clutching a ragged stuffed rabbit, her thumb hooked into her mouth. She wasn't crying anymore, but her eyes followed every shadow that moved across the ceiling. Across from her, seated in his playpen, Caleb was staring at her with an intensity that only a ten-month-old can muster. "She hasn't eaten much," Mrs. Gable whispered, stepping up beside me. She held a small plastic bowl of mashed organic peas as if it were a peace o

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Ticking Time Bomb

    [Sarah’s POV]The morning air in the valley was crisp, carrying the scent of damp earth and the promise of a heavy harvest. I pulled my waxed field jacket tighter, the grit of the gravel crunching under my boots as I made my way toward the north ridge. I needed to see the vines, I've not been there in a week. The silence of the estate was broken by the low, predatory rumble of an engine. I stopped in my tracks. A black SUV was winding its way up the driveway, sunlight glinting off its polished hood. My heart did a slow, heavy roll in my chest. Saturday was days away. Tyler knew the rules. I had worked too hard to build these walls to have him stroll in whenever he likes. "What is he doing here?" I whispered to the empty air, my jaw tightening. The car came to a halt near the porch, the dust settling around it. I marched toward the vehicle, my rehearsed lecture on boundaries ready to fire. I had been too soft at the funeral. I had let my grief for Beatrice make me look like a sanct

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Built on a Lie

    [Tyler’s POV]My grip on the steering wheel was so tight that my knuckles felt like they might burst through the skin. For thirty minutes, I had circled the blocks of Upper Manhattan, weighing my options.I could have gone to a hotel. I could have gone to my father’s estate in Greenwich. But a Rider doesn't run from his own property.I couldn't keep fleeing my own life because of a woman. It was a risk, I knew the storm that was waiting for me behind those penthouse doors, but the alternative was becoming a nomad in my own cityI stepped inside, and the first thing I heard was the crunch of glass under my boots. The penthouse, my sanctuary of marble and steel, looked like a war zone.The Murano glass vase, the one Lucy had insisted we buy in Venice to celebrate our third anniversary, lay in a thousand glittering shards across the marble foyer. The silk curtains had been ripped from their tracks, hanging like tattered flags of a defeated nation. In the living room, the remains of a thr

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   The Harvest of Karma

    [Sarah’s POV]The air over the open field had grown thick with Lucy’s outburst. With the suffocating heat of a long-overdue reckoning. My words seemed to hang in the gray space between us like a physical weight.Lucy’s reaction was swift. The polished, grieving sister in-law mask she had worn all morning shattered. Her eyes, usually so calculated and cold, blew wide with a frantic light."What truth?" she shrieked, the sound tearing through the respectful hush of the cemetery. "What the fuck are you talking about, Sarah? What truth is there other than you being a pathetic, desperate ghost clinging to a life that isn't yours anymore?"She took a step toward me, her black-gloved hands trembling so violently she had to clench them into fists. The cameras were closer now. I could hear the rapid-fire clack-clack-clack of shutters, the metallic heartbeat of a scandal in the making."I'm the one being lied to!" Lucy screamed, turning her fury toward the crowd as if looking for witnesses to h

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Funerals and Chaos

    [Sarah’s POV]It was a Rider funeral. Meticulously orchestrated, expensive, and performatively somber.I stepped out of the black town car, the gravel crunching under my heels. Beside me, Dex adjusted his suit jacket, his eyes scanning the perimeter with the sharp, unblinking focus of a hawk. He didn't need to be told that we were walking into a lion’s den, he could feel the predatory hum of the undercover journalists lurking near the oak trees, their long lenses disguised as binoculars.As we walked toward the gathered crowd, the rhythmic drone of the priest’s rites faltered. One by one, heads turned. I kept my chin level, my gaze fixed on the casket at the center of the clearing. I wasn't here for the drama.The priest cleared his throat and continued the prayer, but the atmosphere had shifted. The moment the "Amen" left the priest's lips, the crowd began to disperse toward the reception tents. But one figure didn't move toward the refreshments.Lucy broke away from the inner circl

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   Zero Competition

    [Tyler’s POV]The first thing I noticed was the silence. It wasn't the heavy, suffocating silence of the penthouse I caller home. It was a living stillness, and the distant, melodic call of a bird marking the start of a morning.I opened my eyes slowly, expecting the crushing weight of Beatrice’s death to pin me to the mattress. It was there, a dull ache in the center of my chest, but the bed beneath me was surprisingly forgiving. I sat up, rubbing the weight of a restless week from my eyes, and looked around the room.It was a guest suite, but it didn't feel like one. The furniture was sturdy, hand-finished oak, and the walls were a soft, muted cream that caught the morning sun. Sarah had built this. She had taken the broken pieces of the woman I let walk away and forged something permanent. I found myself smiling, a bitter-sweet pride tightening my throat.A soft, rhythmic knock vibrated against the door."Tyler?" Sarah’s voice was muffled, but it carried that new, steady resonance.

  • Divorced With His Heir In My Belly   A Breath Of Fresh Air = Bankruptcy

    [Tyler’s POV]For three years, entering this front door had felt like stepping into a tomb—a quiet prison where Sarah would be waiting with that look of expectation on her face."How was your day, Darling?" she would ask, her voice a soft, dull hum that made my skin crawl.Now, the air smelled like

    [Tyler’s POV]"She doesn’t look like a Rider, Tyler. Not even a little bit."Chloe’s voice cut through the sterile quiet of the recovery room. She was standing at the foot of Lucy’s bed, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. She didn't even look at the pink bundle in the cot with affection. She

    "Who is in my room? answer me! Who is there?". I asked again.Silence.I stood in the bathroom doorway dripping onto the wooden floor, both hands gripping the doorframe, heart going so fast I could feel it behind my eyes. The darkness was total and absolute and something was in my room and I could

It wasn't the shaking of a frightened rabbit cornered by a wolf. It was the vibration of a new type of rage.My hands were wrapped tightly around the sleeping bund
