last update Tanggal publikasi: 2026-11-05 18:07:22

I woke up that morning with an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach.

It wasn't because of the work waiting for me downstairs. I had already returned from my break, and my duties had become familiar again. It was because of Victoria.

For the past few days, she had been watching me more closely than usual. Sometimes I would catch her staring when she thought I wasn't looking. Other times, she would suddenly appear wherever I was working, asking questions that seemed innocent but felt carefully p

  • Married to My Baby Father   Chapter 38 – Mommy Came for Me

    I heard Ethan before I saw him."Mommy!"My heart stopped.I turned towards the staircase.He was running down, his little legs moving as quickly as they could."Ethan!"He reached me and threw his arms around my legs.I immediately bent down and lifted him."My baby!"He wrapped his arms around my neck."Mommy! Mommy!"I kissed his cheeks repeatedly."Happy birthday, sweetheart!"He pulled away and looked at me."Birthday!""Yes! You're three years old today!"He held up three fingers, although one of them was folded incorrectly."Three!"I laughed."That's right."He pressed his little hands against my cheeks."Mommy come!""I came.""You stay?"My smile weakened.I brushed his hair away from his forehead."I'm staying for your birthday."He frowned."Only birthday?"I kissed his forehead."Let's enjoy today first, okay?"He nodded, apparently satisfied with that answer.Daniel watched us from a short distance."He has been asking about you all morning."I looked at him."I've misse

    The hospital smelled of antiseptic and cleaning products.I lay on the bed with my eyes closed while a nurse checked my blood pressure.Daniel stood near the foot of the bed, looking impatient."How long before the doctor comes?""Sir, the doctor will be here shortly," the nurse replied.Victoria sat in a chair near the window.She had barely spoken since we arrived.Martha stood beside me, her expression carefully arranged into one of concern.Only she knew what was happening.Only she knew that I wasn't injured.Daniel approached the bed."Lily, can you hear me?"I opened my eyes slightly."Yes, sir.""How are you feeling?""My head hurts."He frowned."Don't try to move."I nodded.The doctor arrived a few minutes later and examined me."She appears stable," he said. "We'll run a few checks to make sure there isn't an underlying injury."Daniel nodded."Please do everything necessary."Victoria stood."Daniel, I think we should go home. The doctor has said she's stable."He looked

  • Married to My Baby Father   Chapter 36 – The Birthday Surprise

    Ethan's birthday was only three days away.The mansion had slowly begun preparing for the occasion. Daniel had instructed the staff to arrange a small celebration in the garden, and Mrs Adams had already started making arrangements for the decorations.I stood in the kitchen, listening as two maids discussed the birthday cake."Mr Hayes wants a dinosaur cake," one of them said."Really? I thought little Ethan liked cars.""He likes everything. Last week, he wanted a dinosaur driving a car."I smiled.That sounded exactly like my son.My son.Sometimes, I still struggled to believe that I had to hide behind a disguise just to remain close to him.I had missed so much of his life. I had missed his first steps, his first words, and countless little moments that a mother should never have to miss.I wasn't going to miss his third birthday.Not this time.I had already spoken to Martha about my plan. She knew what I intended to do, and although she had warned me about the risks, she had ag

  • Married to My Baby Father   Chapter 35 – The First Crack in the Disguise

    I knew something was wrong the moment I entered the mansion that morning. The security guards were speaking quietly near the entrance. Mrs Adams was standing beside the reception table, looking worried, while Martha kept glancing towards the staircase. "What's happening?" I asked. Mrs Adams looked at me. "Miss Victoria has been asking everyone to gather in the sitting room." "Why?" "She says something has gone missing." My stomach tightened. "What?" "She hasn't told us yet." I exchanged a glance with Martha. Another accusation. Another attempt to create trouble. I followed Mrs Adams into the sitting room. Victoria was standing beside Daniel. Richard was seated on the sofa, looking irritated. A small velvet jewellery box sat on the table. Daniel looked at the box. "What exactly is missing?" Victoria turned towards him. "My mother's bracelet." Richard frowned. "Victoria, are you certain you brought it here?" "Of course I am." Daniel sighed. "Then why are you gath

  • Married to My Baby Father   Chapter 34 – The Night Daniel Confessed

    I found Daniel in the garden. He was standing near the fountain with his hands in his pockets. The lights from the mansion reflected on the water, but he seemed too distracted to notice. "Sir?" He turned. "Thank you for coming." "Is something wrong?" He shook his head. "Not exactly." I stood a few steps away from him. "Did you need something?" "Can't I talk to you without needing something?" I lowered my eyes. "Of course you can." He gave a quiet laugh. "You're always so careful around me." I didn't respond. He looked towards the fountain. "I spoke to my solicitor today." "About the company?" "Yes. There are things my father left behind that I don't understand." I waited. "Richard has been telling me for months that I have to marry Victoria before certain matters can be resolved. But the documents don't seem to support everything he's been saying." I looked at him. "Perhaps you should wait until your solicitor finishes reviewing them." "That's what he advised."

  • Married to My Baby Father   Chapter 33 – The Name on the Report

    I was in the kitchen when Martha walked in carrying a folded piece of paper. "Lily, this was left for you." I frowned. "For me?" She nodded. "It was delivered by one of the security men. He said someone came to the gate asking for you." My heart began beating faster. "Who?" "He didn't know. The person left this and walked away." I stared at the paper. There was no name on the envelope. I took it from her and opened it carefully. Inside was a short message. We need to talk about the information you provided when you applied for this job. Meet me outside the east gate at six. I read it twice. "What is it?" Martha asked. I quickly folded the paper. "Nothing." She looked at me suspiciously. "Lily." "Someone must have mistaken me for another person." "Then why are your hands shaking?" I looked down. I hadn't realised they were. "Martha, please. Don't tell anyone about this." She lowered her voice. "Is it Victoria?" "I don't know." "Then don't go anywhere alone."
