Aaliyah’s POV

Last night’s panic had driven me to sneak out the next morning to a private hospital while Orrin slept. I hadn’t told him, of course not.

The sterile room felt like a trap, and I wished Lisa were here, but she was meeting a client for my firm. I was alone.

The door opened and a kind-faced woman with glasses stepped in, holding a chart.

“Mrs. Hayes, good morning. Let’s go over your ultrasound and bloodwork.”

“Is my baby okay?” I blurted. “I’m not… showing much. And I haven’t felt him move a lot. Something’s wrong, isn’t it?”

She sat across from me, her smile calm. “Your baby is fine, Ma'am. Heartbeat’s strong. Growth is on track for about sixteen weeks. But there’s something we need to discuss.”

I gripped the bed, my stomach dropping. “What? Just tell me.”

“You have what’s called a cryptic pregnancy,” she said, flipping open the chart.

“It’s rare, but your body isn’t displaying typical pregnancy signs—minimal weight gain, no obvious bump, irregular move

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 82

    Lisa’s POVI sat slumped in the chair, still half-naked, the dim lights of the VIP section felt colder than before. My dress laid crumpled on the floor beside me. I stared at nothing, my mind was blank and my body still ached from what Kaito had started but never finished.Slowly, numbly, I reached for my dress and pulled it back on. The silky fabric clung to my skin, still warm from his touch, but it felt different now. I zipped it up with shaky hands, smoothed it down, and just… sat there.I don’t know how long I stayed like that, staring at the table, the half drank bottle of wine mocking me.My phone vibrated on the table, snapping me back.I glanced at the screen. Nick, the driver he sent.I picked up, my voice low, dull. “Yeah.”“I’m out front, Ma'am,” he said simply.“Okay,” I murmured, and hung up.I stood, my legs feeling heavier than they should, and walked toward the stairs. The club was still pulsing with life, the bass vibrating against my chest as I descended.The mo

    Lisa’s POVKaito’s hands were everywhere—reckless and unrestrained.One hand gripped my hip tightly, pulling me closer until our bodies molded against each other like we were made for this dance. His other hand slid down my thigh, fingers squeezing firmly before brushing dangerously close to my inner thigh.I sucked in a breath, my knees weak as I moved with him.Thank God for the crowd around us, pressing in, swaying, lost in their own drunken haze. If anyone could see past them, they’d definitely catch flashes of my ass threatening to spill from under the ridiculously short dress with his hands pushing them up.Kaito didn’t care, though. If anything, he seemed to enjoy the risk. His grip on me tightened each time I tried to create even an inch of space.Our faces were so close, I could feel his breath tickling my neck.Every now and then, he dipped his head, lips grazing my skin, kissing, nipping—biting me softly just enough to make me gasp. His mouth lingered at the shell of my ea

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 80

    Lisa’s POVKaito’s hand pressed gently against my back as he guided me out of the apartment. The cool night air hit my legs immediately, sending a shiver through me that had nothing to do with the temperature.His car—a sleek black sedan that always smelled faintly of leather and his cologne—waited at the curb. He opened the door for me, and I slid in carefully, the slit of my dress parting dangerously high as I adjusted myself on the seat.Kaito got in on the driver’s side, his hands gripping the wheel effortlessly as he started the engine. For a few seconds, the only sound was the soft purr of the car as we pulled away from my building.I glanced at him, my hand resting on my thigh. “So…” I started, tilting my head, “why aren’t you home with Hana like usual?”He didn’t look at me immediately, eyes focused on the road, but I saw the slight smirk tugging at his lips.“I gave an excuse,” he finally said. “I wanted to be here with you tonight.”I raised a brow. “Really? And why’s tha

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 79

    Lisa’s POVI pushed the door open and stepped into my apartment, dropping my bag on the console by the wall.God, I was exhausted. My entire body felt like lead. Sex on an office desk might sound exciting, but in reality, it was hell on your back—and your emotions.I kicked off my heels without caring where they landed. I didn’t even bother to pick them up. My blouse came off first, then my skirt, until I was left in just my underwear as I trudged to the bathroom.I peeled those off too before stepping under the warm spray of the shower.The water hit me instantly, loosening my tense muscles, washing away the faint smell of Kaito that still clung to me. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and traced my fingers on the marks Kaito left on me.Three on my neck. One on my right boob.I closed my eyes, letting the steam fill the bathroom as I scrubbed myself gently but thoroughly, as if I could erase him from my skin.When I finally stepped out, I felt lighter. Still tired, but… cleane

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 78

    Lisa’s POV“Kaito! Oh fuck—yes, yes!”I screamed his name like a prayer and a curse at once, my nails digging into the edge of my desk as he pounded into me from behind. My office smelled like sex and heat, and the scattered documents that once represented hours of careful work were now littered on the floor, forgotten casualties in the war of our bodies.The blinds were drawn shut across the glass walls, thankfully. No one could see us, and more importantly, no one could hear me unraveling under him.He grabbed my waist tighter, thrusting hard and deep, his grunts mixing with my cries as my orgasm slammed into me like a wave. My legs shook and my throat burned as I came around him, my body clenching, leaking onto him as I cried out his name again.“Fuck, Lisa,” he growled, his voice husky as he buried himself even deeper, chasing his own release.He didn’t stop—his pace quickened, punishing and possessive. My thighs trembled and my breath hitched as he finally stilled with a groan,

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 77

    Aurora’s POVMy heart pounded as he launched himself off the bed swiftly despite the whiskey haze. Before I could react, he grabbed my wrist with a grip like iron, and yanked the knife from my hand, tossing it to the floor with a clatter. His face was a storm of fear and rage. His hazel eyes were bloodshot and his breath ragged as he loomed over me.“Are you insane?!” he roared as he clenched into fists, his chest heaving. “You were going to kill me? My life just flashed before my eyes, and you’re standing there with a damn knife?”I scoffed and curled my lips into a smirk despite the adrenaline coursing through me. My blonde hair fell into my face as I straightened, refusing to back down. “Calm down, Henry,” I said, though my pulse raced. “Kill you? Please. I wasn’t going to end you—just give you a little cut, a reminder not to cross me. Looks like it worked, doesn’t it? You’re shaking like a leaf.”His face darkened and his jaw tightened. His eyes burnt with an anger that match
