Eva spent the rest of the day moving like a ghost through her own life.

Every step felt heavy. Every breath shallow. Every sound too loud.

When she returned home from the café, Daniel was still asleep—peaceful, unaware, trusting. His chest rose and fell in soft, steady rhythms that once brought her comfort.

Now it only filled her with dread.

Her phone buzzed three times on the counter while she stood staring at him.

All from the same person.

Adrian.

She didn’t open a single message.

She couldn’t.

Not after the pregnancy test.

Not after Lydia’s voice drilling into her head.

Who do you want?

Eva didn’t know. Or maybe she did, but couldn’t face the consequences.

So she ignored Adrian. All day.

And all night.

By morning, she almost convinced herself she could simply disappear from him. Cut him off. Let him fade like a shadow from a past she regretted.

But men like Adrian Cross didn’t fade.

They hunted.

The confrontation came faster than she expected.

Eva was in her office's parking lot th

  • Falling For My Husband's Doctor   Twenty Two: Eyes In The Dark

    Daniel sensed it.Not with words. Not even with logic.With instinct.The same instinct that once told him when Eva was falling in love with him.Now it whispered a different truth.She’s hiding something.But what could it be, that she couldn't even tell him.His suspicions started subtle.A flinch when the phone rang.A too-fast swipe of her screen.A forced smile that didn’t reach her eyes.At first, he thought it was stress. The hospital bills, his recovery, the pressure of adjusting to their life again after he had spent months in a coma.But then… the signs began stacking.And they didn’t lie.Not the way she did.He needed to know the truth.Eva tried. God knows she tried to act normal.But guilt had a way of slipping through the cracks—softening her voice, shaking her hands, putting a frantic shine in her eyes whenever Daniel was too close.And Daniel, once gentle and trusting, had grown observant. Hyper-aware.He was becoming suspicious.And that only meant she had to be extr

  • Falling For My Husband's Doctor   Twenty: The Unraveling

    The next morning, while Daniel slept, Eva slipped out of the house and drove to the pharmacy. Her hands shook so hard she dropped the test twice before finally opening it.The result appeared fast. Too fast.Two lines.Bold.Undeniable.Pregnant.Eva covered her mouth with both hands as the world tilted sideways.But the horror didn’t hit until the next thought crashed through her like lightning:It may not be Daniel’s.Her vision blurred. Her heart stopped.Because deep down—with the timing, the frequency, the intensity—she knew the truth.This child…This life growing inside her…Was almost certainly Adrian’s.Eva sank to the bathroom floor, the test clattering out of her hand.Her body shook with silent sobs.Her entire world was about to unravel.And there was no hiding from the storm coming.----Eva drove in circles for nearly an hour before she finally found the courage to call Lydia.Her hands trembled so badly she almost dropped her phone when her sister picked up.“Eva?

  • Falling For My Husband's Doctor   Nineteen: The Guilt Returns

    Eva drove home with her hands trembling on the wheel, the streetlights smearing into streaks of gold through the film of sweat and exhaustion glazing her eyes. Her body still ached with the memory of Adrian—his mouth, his hands, his heat, his voice whispering I love you against her skin.And she had said it back.The guilt hit her in slow, nauseating waves.By the time she parked in front of the house, her legs were barely steady enough to carry her up the porch steps.She pushed the door open.Daniel was on the couch, half-asleep with the TV humming quietly in the background. He lifted his head at the sound.“There you are,” he said, voice groggy. “I was getting worried.”Eva froze.He looked at her with soft eyes—tired, hopeful. The same eyes of the man she married. The man she once loved enough to move mountains for.And she had been in another man’s bed.Her pulse hammered painfully.“I’m—sorry,” she managed. “I… went for a drive.”“At night?” He frowned gently. “You hate driving

    Eva's resolve cracked in a single heartbeat.She tried—God, she tried—to push him away, but her hands fisted in his shirt instead, pulling him closer, needing something she couldn’t name.He lifted her effortlessly onto the counter, his hands sliding to her hips as his mouth devoured every protest she failed to voice.“Eva,” he whispered against her lips, “I told you. You belong here.”“Adrian…” she whispered, already trembling. “Please don’t—”“Don’t what?” he breathed, kissing the hollow of her throat. “Don’t remind you how much you want me?”She gasped, fingers clutching his shoulders.He kissed her again — softer this time, but deeper, drawing a sound from her she tried to swallow.“This isn’t fair,” she whispered brokenly.He lifted her face. “I’m not trying to be fair. I’m trying to keep what’s mine.”Her breath shook.“Adrian…” she gasped.He swallowed her name like a promise.She was supposed to end things.She was supposed to be strong.She was supposed to remember Daniel.Bu

  • Falling For My Husband's Doctor   Seventeen: Blurred Lines

    Eva stood outside Adrian’s apartment door for nearly a full minute, her hand frozen above the handle, her breath shallow with dread. She had told herself she wouldn’t come. She had rehearsed a dozen speeches — firm, final, reasonable.We have to stop.Daniel is back.Whatever we had can’t continue.But the moment Daniel had fallen asleep and his quiet, trusting breathing filled the bedroom, guilt had slithered up her spine like a phantom. The truth pressed against her ribs until she could barely breathe.She needed to end this.She needed to walk away.But here she was anyway.Because Adrian had said tonight, and something in his voice had told her he meant it.Her fingers trembled as she finally knocked.The door opened almost instantly, like he’d been standing right behind it in a black T-shirt, hair slightly tousled, eyes sharp and unreadable. The apartment behind him was dimly lit, warm, quiet — far too intimate.Adrian stepped aside silently, his eyes never leaving hers.“Come in
