MasukSo, Mrs. Knight,” he said, voice dripping with mockery, “do we have a deal?” I stared at his hand. Then at his face. Then at the empty shot glasses. I slapped my palm into his. “It’s not Mrs. Knight anymore,” I said, squeezing hard. “And you, Mr. Arrogant, just hired the most vindictive assistant you’ll ever have.” His fingers tightened around mine, warm and strong and promising all kinds of chaos. “Welcome to the dark side, Isabella.” Behind us, Kayla whispered to herself and few people in the coffee shop, “Y’all, I’m literally witnessing the start of a mafia romance…” Lucian’s eyes never left mine. Something electric and dangerous crackled between us. And in that moment, drunk off tequila and vengeance, I signed my soul with the Devil. I said no to Alexander Knight at the altar. Then I said yes to Lucian Voss in the rain, still wearing my wedding dress... Because my fiancee betrayed me twenty minutes before we tied the knots. With Lucian, it was a fake relationship stringed with mind-blowing nights. I gave him my body He offered me revenge Neither of us expected to give our hearts... Or that the enemy warming my bed every night ...was the brother everyone thought died fifteen years ago. Now I'm pregnant and only one knight get's to keep the empire and me
Lihat lebih banyak**Lena's POV**Daisy leaned against the door like she’d just claimed the whole restroom as her personal stage. Her maxi skirt swished against the tile, her high-neck blouse buttoned to the literal top, and yet here she was....her eyes glittering, while her mouth was curved in a smile that was equal parts mischief and menace. She tilted her head, looked from Sarah to me and back again, then delivered the line so casually it almost sounded sweet.“I won’t tell a soul,” she said, her voice dropping low enough that it felt like velvet sliding over skin. “But I want in. All three of us. Right here. Right now. Let me taste what you’ve started.”The air turned solid. Thick. Like someone had sucked all the oxygen out and replaced it with something heavier, something that pressed against my chest and made my lungs work twice as hard.Sarah’s hand was still resting on my hip from where she’d pulled me close, but it froze on the spot. Her fingers twitched once, then went stiff. I felt the shift
**Chloe’s POV**The hospital room felt smaller every time someone spoke. The beeping monitor beside me kept counting my heartbeats like it was trying to remind me I was still alive, still here, still carrying something inside me that I hadn’t asked for. I kept my good hand pressed low on my stomach under the thin blanket, my fingers splayed, feeling nothing but skin and the faint warmth of my own body. No flutter. No proof. Just the doctor’s calm voice echoing in my skull: *three weeks pregnant*. Three weeks.I couldn’t stop shaking.I wasn't experiencing big tremors...just tiny, constant vibrations under my skin like my nerves had forgotten how to be still. Ryan was still sitting in the chair beside the bed, his elbows on his knees, watching me with that quiet concern that made me feel seen in a way I hadn’t been in months. He hadn’t pushed. Hadn’t asked why I was crying again. Just stayed still watching me. Like he knew silence was sometimes the only safe place to put big feelings
**Lena’s POV** The knock came again...three sharp raps that sounded like gunshots in the tiled silence. We both froze mid-breath because we were both caught up in the tension. “Shit,” Sarah hissed, already scrambling. I snatched my bra off the sink, yanked it on with shaking hands, I missed the clasp twice before swearing under my breath and twisting it around. I lunged for my shirt, pulling it over my head so fast the tag caught in my hair. We were both breathing like we’d sprinted a mile, our eyes darting between each other and the door. Another knock came banging louder, more impatient. “Coming!” Sarah called, her voice cracking on the second syllable. She shot me a wild look, it was mixed with half panic and half *oh my God we’re so fucked*. She paused and then ran to the door. I followed two steps behind, zipping my jeans and using my finger to comb my hair, trying to look like I hadn’t just had my mouth between her thighs five minutes ago. Sarah cracked the door an inch,
**Chloe’s POV**The doctor’s last words were still ringing in my ears like a bell that wouldn’t stop tolling.*Congratulations, you’re three weeks pregnant.*I stared at the ceiling again...those same stupid speckled tiles I’d been counting earlier except now they looked like they were laughing at me. My good hand pressed flat against my stomach under the thin blanket, my fingers splayed wide, feeling nothing but skin and the faint rise and fall of my own breathing. No bump. No movement. No sign at all that anything had changed. And yet the whole world had tilted sideways in the space of one sentence.Pregnant.Alexander’s baby.The thought made my throat close up so tight I couldn’t swallow. My chest started heaving short, sharp breaths that hurt my ribs. Then the tears came again harder this time, ugly and unstoppable. They rolled sideways into my hair, soaking the bandage wrapped around the left side of my face. My shoulders shook with quiet, broken sobs that pulled at every bruis
