Those five words that Selene said at the end, hit the whole funeral ground like a physical blow to the chest.

“I am pregnant with your child.”

The entire world seemed to tilt on its axis. For a few heart-stopping seconds, everything just… stopped. Nobody moved or made a sound. The wind continued to dance through the white lilies on the coffin, blissfully unaware of the cruelty that had just been unleashed, but the people were like frozen statues. It took a full three seconds, which seems like a

    The guards moved quickly, each grabbing one of Bailey's arms and hauling her up from the floor. She thrashed against their grip, her earlier spoiled attitude was completely forgotten now that reality of what was happening truly sank in."No! Wait, please!" she screamed, digging her heels uselessly against the marble floor as they dragged her toward the hallway. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it, please, someone help me! Maxton, please, I'm begging you!"Her voice grew more frantic with every step, echoing off the high ceilings of the sitting room until it finally faded down the corridor, swallowed by distance and the heavy doors closing somewhere in the back of the villa.Raina stood quietly through all of it, watching without a single word leaving her lips. She didn't feel the need to gloat, didn't feel the need to add anything to what had already happened. Bailey had dug her own grave with her mouth, and there was nothing left for Raina to say that would make the situation any more or le

  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE: A Fool's Realization

    The silence that followed Bailey's confession felt heavy, thick enough to choke on. But she mistook it for something else entirely. She mistook it for victory.A small, gloating smile crept across her face as she glanced sideways at Raina, her chin lifting slightly with false confidence. In her mind, nobody was shouting her down, nobody was throwing her out, and that had to mean something. That had to mean she had a chance.Raina simply stared back at her, unbothered, the same way someone might watch a clown stumble around a circus ring, entertaining but ultimately pointless. There was no anger in her expression, no jealousy, nothing that gave Bailey the reaction she was hoping to provoke.Emboldened by the lack of resistance, Bailey took another step closer to Maxton, closing the distance between them until she stood right in front of him, her eyes shining with desperate hope."I've always loved you," she said again, her voice trembling with emotion, though whether it was love or del

  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR: Why Is She Here

    Raina was just a few inches away from the ground when Lorenzo caught her. He pulled her into his arms and his hands trembled slightly as he couldn't imagine what would have happened if she had fallen down.“Are you okay?” Maxton's anxious voice came from the side as he finally got to where they were standing.“I…. I'm…I'm fine” Raina stuttered as she still couldn't believe what just happened.She pulled out of Lorenzo's arms and buried her face in Maxton's chest. He held her and breathed deep breaths of relief.“Why would you run? What if you had actually fallen down? Did you even think of your safety and that of the baby's?” He asked her angrily after making sure she was really okay.Raina lowered her eyes and remained in his embrace without saying anything. She just kept quiet and Maxton sighed and hugged her again.“I didn't mean to yell at you..I was just worried about you” he whispered and she nodded.“Let's go inside, the weather is quite cold” Michael's voice came from the side

    The knock on the door came gently at first, followed by a soft, familiar voice. "Raina. Wake up, love."Raina stirred slowly, blinking against the dim morning light filtering through the curtains. Maxton was already sitting up beside her, fully dressed, watching her with a tired but tender expression."It's still so early," she mumbled, rubbing her eyes."I know," Maxton said gently. "But we need to get moving. Come on, let's get you freshened up."He helped her out of bed, one arm supporting her gently as she found her footing, still groggy from sleep. He guided her toward the bathroom, waiting patiently outside the door while she washed up, ready to help if she needed him.A few minutes later, just as Raina finished changing into fresh clothes, a knock sounded at their bedroom door."Boss," Carlos's voice called from outside. "Everything's ready. The helicopter's fueled and waiting, and the cars are prepared for the rest of us.""We'll be right out," Maxton called back.He walked ov

    Lorenzo paced back and forth across the entrance of his father's study, his phone gripped tightly in his hand, the screen lit up with Raina's contact information and a red "Not Reachable" notice glaring back at him for what felt like the hundredth time.He tried Maxton's number next, jabbing at the screen with growing frustration. And still got the same result…He was also not reachable.Even Carlos and Pascal were no different. He sighed heavily and dialed Carlos's number again. Carlos's phone rang but no one picked but the others didn't ring at all."Come on," he muttered under his breath, while running a hand through his hair. "Pick up…Just pick up the damn phone!."He'd been trying for hours now, ever since Carlos had gone silent on the phone that morning and promising updates that never came. The silence was eating at him, gnawing at every worst-case scenario his mind could conjure.In the study, Michael was not faring better. The Don, who is usually so composed and measured in ev

    Raina sat quietly on the edge of the bed, her hands folded in her lap, her mind still replaying everything Lisa had told her about Maxton's past. The image of a thirteen-year-old boy hiding in a cupboard, watching his parents die, refused to leave her thoughts no matter how hard she tried to push it away.Lisa sat nearby, occasionally glancing toward the door, her expression calm despite the tense silence that had settled over the room since the screaming stopped.A knock finally broke the quiet.Lisa stood up immediately. "Wait here," she said to Raina before walking over and opening the door.Standing on the other side was Maxton, dressed in a clean white shirt and black pants, his hair still damp from a recent shower. The blood was gone completely, no trace of what had happened in the other room visible on him anymore, though something in his eyes still carried the weight of it."Boss," Lisa said with a small nod, stepping aside to let him through before slipping out into the hallw

    The morning of the wedding arrived quickly. For forty-eight hours, Raina had been a prisoner in her own bedroom, the four walls closing in on her until the air felt thin and toxic. She hadn't slept or eaten the bland meals the guards slid through the door. She felt exhausted, her body aching from

    “Thud!”“Thud!”“This!”The rhythmic sound of leather hitting canvas was the only tone Raina Valente craved. The boxing gym was a dump but to her, it was a sanctuary and the only place where the name 'Valente' didn’t restrict or meddle in her life. She leaned into a sharp jab and the heavy bag gro

    Raina remained standing at the altar and some of the guests stared at her with pity while others had mocking expressions on their faces and were gloating over the fact that she wouldn't be acknowledged as the Don's wife by the Retroferds.Steps suddenly echoed on the stone floor and Lorenzo walked
