Selene’s POV.

Sophie left before sunrise. She was excited for the next phase in her life, and I couldn’t be happier for her.

I braided Amira’s hair and got her prepared for school. Tom’s threat still lingered in my head. I pushed it as far back as I could.

I had to resort to the school bus for Amira. I couldn’t keep up with taking Amira to school and making it on time for work.

I walked into the Lyric Press building with butterflies in my belly. The reception was quite warm and friendly. I smil

  • Married to a Narcissist, Pregnant With My Ex’s Child   Epilogue.

    FOUR MONTHS LATER Selene’s POV. The nurse gasped and flashed me the widest smile I had ever seen. All eyes on the screen as the cold ultrasound probe moved over my stomach. “You are having twins!” Rowland leaned forward. “Twins?” “Yes, Mr. Rowland… how silly it was for me to have missed it.” I leaned forward; my heart fluttered in my chest. I would never have imagined I was carrying two little lives in me. Amira squealed beside me. Rowland held on to her tiny hands. His eyes never left the screen. “Are you sure?” The nurse nodded. “Lord, show me, please.” I whispered, excited and scared at the same time. “Lord, show me, please,” I whispered, excitement and fear rushing through me at the same time.The nurse pointed toward the screen, explaining what she could see.“There. And there.”I squinted.I couldn’t make much sense of what I was looking at, but knowing that there were two little hearts beating inside me was enough.“Two babies?” Amira asked.I turned toward her.“

  • Married to a Narcissist, Pregnant With My Ex’s Child   Authors ending note.

    Hello my lovely readers, Writing this story has been extremely fun, it’s been a roller coaster of self doubts, praises, long pauses, and a lot of what now’s? This story wasn’t just about the love between Rowland and Selene, it was an about a young woman, discovering herself, fighting for freedom and being allowed to choose. I tried to capture real life experiences as I much as I could especially with Tom. Of course, I am not going to leave you hanging. There is going to be an epilogue chapter right after this. If you enjoyed this story as much as I loved writing it, give me a follow… support me, drop a comment, let everyone know what you honestly think. I would be delighted to read all comments, sitting on my bed, excited that all the overthinking was finally worth it. ❤️🤭 you could also check out my other book, what butterflies don’t tell you.

  • Married to a Narcissist, Pregnant With My Ex’s Child   End.

    Selene’s POV. My eyes fluttered open, and I am sitting back in the chair. I didn’t know where I was. The ceiling above me was white. Too bright. I blinked slowly. The empty coffee cup lay on the floor beside me. Everyone was gathered around me. Mother. Father. Rowland. Lisa. Sophie. My eyes moved from one face to another. My heart began to pound. Then I heard it. “Mummy!” I froze. My head snapped toward the voice. “Mummy!” A little girl stood a few feet away. Her eyes were filled with tears. She was looking straight at me. My breathing stopped. I shook my head. The room seemed to tilt around me. The little girl took a step toward me. “Mummy.” My lips parted. Nothing came out. She took another step. Then another. Her little hands stretched toward me. “Carry me.” My heart shattered. I pushed myself farther back into the chair. “No.” The word came out as a whisper. The little girl stopped. Her face crumpled.

    Selene’s POV. I sat at the station; a towel was draped over my shoulders while I sipped hot coffee slowly. My mind raced through everything that happened within the past three days. It all felt like a dream. Something far from reality, but it all did happen.Rowland spoke with the inspector. My eyes roamed the station. Officers moved around us, talking quietly. Phones rang. Doors opened and closed. Someone laughed softly somewhere behind the counter.I looked down at the coffee in my hands. Life goes on, always. Even after everything changed.I looked towards the door.Mark was nowhere to be found.Seeing him again had brought back a memory I could touch.A reminder of the betrayal.He was Rowland’s brother.But years ago, he had been a part of the family that had watched Rowland disappear from my life.I still didn’t know what to make of seeing him again.I pulled the towel tighter around myself.For the first time in days, I wasn’t running.I wasn’t hiding.I wasn’t trying to

  • Married to a Narcissist, Pregnant With My Ex’s Child   Rescue.

    Rowland’s POV. The sound tore through the noise. My heart raced. I couldn’t hear anything except Selene’s scream. She buried her face in her palms, her whole body trembling as she cried. “Selene!” I looked down at myself. My hands moved frantically over my chest, my stomach, and my arms. I searched for blood, for a wound, for anything that could tell me where the bullet had hit. Nothing. I touched my chest again, breathing heavily. I wasn’t shot. My eyes lifted. Tom was crouched a few feet away, one hand gripping his leg. Blood was already soaking through his trousers. He had been shot. I stared at him, trying to process what I was seeing. Then I heard footsteps behind me. I turned. Mark. My brother was walking through the bushes, his clothes drenched from the rain, his face hard with concentration. And in his hand was a gun. He stopped a few feet from us. “Police! Your hands in the air!” Officers circled around us. They moved so quickly.

  • Married to a Narcissist, Pregnant With My Ex’s Child   Under the storm.

    Rowland’s POV. I squinted my eyes towards the pathway. The rain was pouring down heavily now. I had lost track of time. How sure are we she’s even here? I kicked the trunk of a tree hard. My body retracted at the impact of the ripples of pain through my body. I cupped my palm over my mouth. “Selene!” I had no idea where the mark was, and I had gone too far into the bushes. I let myself fall back into the tree. Tears stung my eyes. I was tired. I wailed, twisting a twig in my fingers. “I am so, so sorry, Selene.” The rain trailed it way down my body. I was drenched. But I didn’t care. “Help!” My head snapped. “Selene?” I got up immediately. “Help!” Again. It sounded muffled. Like she was struggling to speak. followed the direction of the voice, pushing through the thick branches that slapped against my face and caught at my clothes.“Selene!”“Help!”My heart slammed against my ribs.“I’m coming!”I pushed harder, stumbling over roots and wet ground until I finally b

    PRESENT DAY. Amira’s birthday party. I stood at the far end of the hall, glancing at Tom. Lisa stood beside him. She threw her head back, running her palm over his arm, laughing at something Tom's business associate said. My fingers tightened around the glass of wine in my hand. The nerve

    Selene’s POV Tom was above me. His fingers wrapped around my hair while he thrust into me hungrily. My hands were pinned to my side, with each movement making my head bob. We had been going at it for hours, and now my body ached. I wanted him to stop; I had enough. “Tom,” I whispered. “T

    FIVE YEARS EARLIER. Selene's POV. "Congratulations, you are pregnant!" The nurse grinned, holding up a clipboard. "Your vitals are great, and your baby is healthy." My heart pounded; for a second, it felt like the world spun around me. I shook my head. "I can't be pregnant; Rowland and I, we
