MARCUS

I did not leave the manor after Nero’s visit. I stayed in the study, alone, letting the weight of the news settle into calculated motion. Julia’s pregnancy was not a personal matter; it was a strategic variable, a piece on the board that demanded precise attention. Every potential threat, every ripple of gossip, every possible weakness in our network had to be accounted for.

I began with Augustus. He was a loose element, unpredictable in his emotions. He loved Julia in a quiet, restraine

  • From My Ex's Betrayal To His Father's Bed   Chapter 198

    JULIAThe excitement from the kicks still lingered in the air like electricity even after Mom and Phoebe had left the dining area. The chicken curry was finally ready, fragrant and perfectly spiced, and I was already on my second generous serving when Marcus walked through the front door earlier than expected.He paused in the doorway, taking in the scene—me at the table in his oversized shirt, belly proudly on display, a half-eaten plate of curry in front of me, and the pile of freshly folded baby clothes stacked neatly beside me. His eyes softened instantly, that intense, possessive warmth filling his gaze as it always did when he looked at me these days.“You’re glowing even more than when I left this morning,” he said, voice low and rough with affection. He crossed the room in long strides and leaned down to kiss me deeply, one hand automatically sliding to rest on the side of my heavy, rounded belly. “How are my boys treating their mama today?”Before I could answer, one of the t

  • From My Ex's Betrayal To His Father's Bed   Chapter 197

    JULIATime had slipped away so quietly.One moment I was ten weeks pregnant with barely-there nausea and a small, firm bump. The next, I was twenty-one weeks along, more than halfway through this twin pregnancy, and my body had transformed in ways I could hardly believe when I looked in the mirror.My belly was unmistakably round and full now, heavy with our two growing boys. It sat prominently in front of me, stretching every shirt and dress I owned. My breasts were fuller, my hips wider, and even my ankles occasionally swelled if I stood too long. But the biggest surprise, the one that still left me staring at my reflection in pleasant disbelief, was my face.I had been terrified at first.I’d heard so many stories from other women: pregnancy making skin dull, causing breakouts, dark spots, or that exhausted, puffy look. I had braced myself for it, convinced I would look tired and unattractive as the months went on. But instead, something magical had happened.My skin glowed.It was

  • From My Ex's Betrayal To His Father's Bed   Chapter 196

    MARCUSThe storm had passed.Julia’s breathing had evened out against my chest, the last of her quiet tears drying on her cheeks. She was no longer tense or sulking, just soft and pliant in my arms, her body finally relaxing after the emotional rollercoaster. I kept one hand gently rubbing slow circles over her rounded belly, feeling the subtle firmness where our twin sons were growing, while my other arm stayed wrapped securely around her shoulders.She was calm now. Coaxed. Safe.I pressed another kiss to her forehead, then to the tip of her nose, and finally to her slightly swollen lips. She let out a tiny, contented sigh and tilted her head up for more. I obliged happily, kissing her slow and sweet, tasting the salt of her earlier tears mixed with the warmth that was purely her.“You okay now, baby?” I murmured against her mouth.She nodded, her voice small but steady. “Yeah… I’m sorry I got so worked up.”“Don’t apologize,” I whispered, brushing my lips across her cheek. “You’re

    MARCUSI lay beside her on the bed, my hand gently rubbing slow circles over her back and the swell of her belly where our twin sons rested. Julia had pulled the blanket over her head again, but I could still hear the quiet, shaky breaths and the occasional sniffle. Each soft sob twisted something deep in my chest.I hated seeing her like this.“Baby…” I murmured, keeping my voice low and steady. I carefully tugged the blanket down just enough to see her tear-streaked face. Her eyes were red and puffy, and she refused to look at me. “Come on, Julia. Talk to me. I can’t fix it if I don’t know what’s hurting you.”She stayed silent for a long moment, her arms wrapped tightly around her bump as if protecting our boys from whatever was upsetting her. I shifted closer, careful not to put any pressure on her stomach, and pressed a soft kiss to her temple.“I’m right here,” I whispered. “I’m not leaving this bed until you tell me what happened. Was it the nursery? Did I place something wrong

  • From My Ex's Betrayal To His Father's Bed   Chapter 194

    JULIAThe nursery was almost complete.I had spent most of the afternoon resting on the terrace, occasionally calling out small adjustments while Marcus and the team worked tirelessly. Everything looked beautiful — the blue and green accents, the soft bedding, the mobiles gently turning above the cribs. I should have felt happy and excited. Instead, a heavy, bitter feeling had settled in my chest the moment I saw them.Marcus was standing near the hallway outside the nursery, talking to a woman I didn’t recognize. She was tall, elegant, and dressed in a sleek black blouse and pencil skirt — clearly a designer. She held a tablet in one hand and was laughing brightly at something Marcus had just said. Her laugh was light and melodic, the kind that carried easily down the corridor.What made my stomach twist was the way she casually reached out and touched his arm—a soft, familiar slap, followed by her fingers lingering for a second too long as she leaned in to point at something on her

    JULIAThe next morning, the manor buzzed with quiet activity.The large delivery van had arrived early, and Marcus’s men, along with a team of professional movers and interior specialists he had hired, were carefully unloading everything we had purchased the day before. Crates, boxes, and carefully wrapped furniture pieces filled the wide driveway. I watched from the comfort of a cushioned lounge chair on the terrace, a soft blanket draped over my legs and a cup of ginger tea in my hands.Marcus had been very clear: I was not to lift a finger or move around too much.“You carried our sons for eleven weeks already,” he had said firmly when I tried to stand up earlier. “Today, you sit. You direct. And I will do everything you ask.”So that was exactly what happened.I sat like a queen on the terrace, my very visible twin bump resting comfortably on my lap, while Marcus turned into the most patient, devoted helper I had ever seen. He didn’t complain once. Not when I changed my mind about

    JULIA The morning sunlight spilled across the Lucchesi manor library, warm and golden, filling the vast room with a rare calm. I had never seen a space so intentionally inviting for learning and planning. Marcus had excused himself for a series of high-level meetings, leaving me free to breathe, t

    JULIAThe sunlight streamed through the tall windows of the Lucchesi manor, warm and soft. For once, I didn’t feel the usual weight pressing down on my chest. I stretched, yawning, and glanced at Phoebe, who was humming in the kitchen as she set down breakfast. It smelled of fresh pastries and some

    MARCUSThe office was quiet, save for the soft hum of the city beyond the tall windows. I poured myself a glass of dark liquor, swirling it absentmindedly while reviewing the reports on my desk. Julia’s safety was my first priority, but the world did not pause for her. Every move Terra, Livia, or a

    PHOEBEI never thought my days could be this busy and yet so… warm. Between keeping Marcus’ world running smoothly and making sure Julia survived his subtle intensity, I often felt like I was managing two lifetimes at once. But seeing her smile, laughing freely, made all the chaos worth it.Julia h
