Pregnant

She was supposed to be a just another girl behind the bar. He was never supposed to remember her just another night to forget. But that one night... changed everything. Aria Lane has known pain for as long as she can remember. Orphaned in a tragic accident and taken in by a family that sees her only as a burden with a price tag, she works long hours just to survive. When a mysterious, powerful stranger walks into the bar one stormy evening, she doesn't expect him to notice her. Let alone offer her something that feels both wrong and irresistible. Damien West... young, dangerously handsome, and heir to a billion-dollar empire has secrets buried deeper than his pockets. One night with Aria was supposed to be a mistake he could walk away from. But Aria can’t walk away not when she finds herself pregnant and alone. With no money, no support, and no way to find the man who changed her life with a single touch, she must fight to protect her unborn child... and herself. What happens when their paths collide again?

Chapter 1 - Friday Night
Los Angeles “Aria! Table six has been waiting ten minutes! Are you asleep?”The voice cracked like a whip across the noisy bar. Mona, the manager, glared at her from behind the counter, arms crossed.“I’m on it,” Aria called back, forcing her voice to stay even. She balanced the tray on her aching arm and wove through the crowd, flashing her best fake smile.She placed the cocktails on the sticky table with a soft, “Sorry for the wait.”The man didn’t look up from his phone. The woman with him rolled her eyes. “Finally. What were you doing, sleeping in the back?”Aria swallowed hard, biting back the words clawing at her throat. Smile, Aria. Always smile. “Enjoy your drinks,” she murmured and left.As she headed toward the bar, Jenny, her only friend on the night shift, joined her with two empty glasses in hand.“You okay? You look like you’re ready to drop.”Aria laughed without humor. “I’ve been ready to drop since last week.”Jenny smirked. “Girl, you need a new job. This place wil

Chapter 2 - Homeless
11:58 PM – Aria’s Foster Home, South L.A.Aria barely made it off the night bus before her phone started ringing again.“Unknown Number” but she already knew who it was.She answered, breathless. “Hello?”“Where the hell are you, Aria?” barked Maureen, the woman who’d raised her since she was thirteen. “You think you’re grown now? You’re needed at home!”Aria frowned. “Needed for what? I just got off work. It's midnight, Maureen.”“Well, your shift ain’t my business, is it? Your foster daddy is in trouble.”Aria stiffened. “What kind of trouble?”“Just bring cash. And hurry. I ain’t explaining over the phone.” Click.She sighed and Just like that, she started walking. The night air was cold, and her thin jacket didn’t do much. She gripped the envelope in her bag tightly tips she hadn’t even counted yet.When she got to the worn-down house, Maureen was already waiting on the porch, arms folded.“You’re just getting here? You took your sweet time,” she spat.“I came straight from work,”

Chapter 3 – Tell me to stop
“Are you ready?”His voice was deep, controlled, but there was a flicker in his eyes—something dangerous, something barely contained. Damien stood near the bed, his jacket was gone, he unbuttoned his shirt to reveal the lean lines of his chest.Aria’s breath hitched. Her legs felt like they weren’t hers anymore. She clutched the strap of her bag like it was her last lifeline.“I… I don’t know,” she whispered, her voice so small it barely made it past her lips.Damien moved closer, slow and deliberate, his presence overwhelming the air between them. He stopped just in front of her, close enough that she could feel the heat of his skin and smell the faint trace of expensive cologne mingling with soap.“You don’t have to do this,” he said softly, searching her face. “If you want to walk out that door, I won’t stop you. And don't worry, there will be no consequences.”Her throat tightened. His words were kind—but the reality waiting outside that door wasn’t. She has no money and nowhere t

Chapter 4 – Thinking of a Solution
The ocean stretched endlessly before her, a sheet of silver under the early morning sun. Waves lapped gently against the sand, their rhythmic hush the only sound in the quiet dawn.Aria wandered around for a long time and finally found a little peace when He came across the Beach.Aria sat on a weathered wooden bench, hugging her thin sweater tightly around her. The salty wind tangled her hair, but she didn’t move to fix it. She didn’t move at all.Her bag lay on the bench beside her. Inside, the envelope with the check felt heavier than bricks. Twenty thousand dollars. Enough to change Her life.And yet, her chest felt hollow.She drew her knees up to her chest, staring at the horizon. If she squinted, she could almost imagine the sea swallowing the memory of last night—the heat of his hands, the softness of his voice, the way he looked at her like she was more than a nobody.Until he disappeared.She blinked hard as her throat tightened. Why did I expect more? She had known what it

Chapter 5 – Why is it so expensive?
The bus ride was long and quiet. Aria spent most of the night staring out the window, her thoughts spinning faster than the wheels beneath her. The city lights faded into dark highways, and eventually into nothing but streaks of dawn across the horizon.She clutched her bag to her chest the whole time, her fingers brushing against the envelope inside like it could disappear if she let go.When the bus finally pulled into the station, it was almost noon. Aria stepped off and blinked against the harsh sunlight, exhaustion pressing down on her like bricks. The air smelled different here—cleaner, fresher—but the weight in her chest hadn’t changed.This was supposed to be her escape. Her new beginning."I need to find a Taxi and get a small apartment as soon as possible" she said to herselfShe dragged her small duffel behind her and walked toward the cluster of taxis outside. “Excuse me,” she said softly to a driver, “can you take me to a decent apartment building? Something affordable.”

Chapter 6 - I hate you
By the time the sun disappeared behind the towering buildings, the park was almost empty. The children’s laughter was replaced by car horns and the low hum of streetlights flickering on.Aria sat on the same worn bench, her bag clutched to her chest like a lifeline. The breeze turned cooler, slipping under her thin sweater and making her shiver.She looked down at her reflection in the darkened screen of her phone. Her hair was limp, her face pale, and exhaustion dragged shadows under her eyes. "God, I look like I’ve been dragged through hell."And she felt it too. Her skin itched with sweat from the long trip, her muscles ached, and all she wanted was a hot shower and a soft bed—simple things that suddenly felt like luxuries in a world she couldn’t afford.Her stomach growled, breaking the silence. She dug into her bag and pulled out the paper bag she’d bought earlier: two buns and a can of soda. Her fingers shook as she unwrapped the first bun. It was stale, but she ate anyway, wash

Chapter 7 - Damien Knight
The skyline of Geneva gleamed outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the glass reflecting a man who looked like he owned the entire city. Damien Knight stood with his back to the boardroom, one hand buried in his pocket, the other gripping a sleek crystal tumbler. The amber liquid inside barely moved as he spoke, his voice a low rumble that carried like a command.“Do I need to repeat myself?”The silence was deafening. Around the massive black marble table, twelve board members sat frozen, their eyes glued to the man at the head of the table. No one dared speak. Not after the last one who tried to argue with Damien’s decision ended up blacklisted across half of Europe.“I said,” Damien continued, turning slowly to face them, his storm-gray eyes cold and sharp as a blade, “cancel the acquisition. Immediately.”One man—bold or stupid—cleared his throat. “B-but, sir, the press already—”The glass hit the table with a sharp crack, making the man flinch so hard his pen rolled across the ta

Chapter 8 - Shop to let
The sun was barely up when Aria woke to the sound of birds squabbling in the park trees. Her back ached from the cold, hard ground, and her clothes clung damply to her skin. For a moment, she just sat there, blinking against the pale morning light, wishing it was all a bad dream.But the crumpled soda can and empty paper bag by her side told her it wasn’t.Her stomach growled loud and angry, reminding her she hadn’t eaten since those two buns last night. She got to her feet slowly, slinging her bag over her shoulder and brushing the dirt off her sweater.“I need food,” she murmured under her breath.She wandered the streets, past clusters of small shops opening for the day, past food stalls frying golden pastries that sent her stomach twisting with hunger. Everything smelled like heaven—and cost more than she could afford to waste."Aria Save the money, Make a plan and Don’t be stupid to spend unnecessarily"She repeated the words like a prayer as she walked.And then she saw it.A fa

Chapter 9 - it's really mine
Aria twisted the rusty key in the lock and pushed the wooden door open. The little shop smelled like dust and old paint, but the sight of the empty space made her heart swell all over again. It’s mine. It’s really mine.Dropping her bag on the floor, she paced slowly, tracing the room’s edges with her fingers. Bare walls, no shelves, no counter yet—but it was shelter. It was a dream waiting to happen.She tugged her sweater off and tied it around her waist, stretching her stiff limbs. That was when her nose twitched. God… I smell like a week-old sandwich.She groaned, patting her hair. “If I don’t wash this body, I'm sure neighbors will soon file a complaint.” Her voice echoed off the empty walls, making her chuckle despite herself.Curiosity tugged her toward the back door. She pushed it open and blinked into a tiny outdoor space overgrown with weeds. A narrow path led to a small structure leaning against the brick wall.Aria’s heart thudded. Is that…?She hurried over and pulled the

Chapter 10 – You made a space for yourself.
Aria wiped her mouth with the paper napkin and leaned back in the metal chair, a smile tugging at her lips. Her plate was empty... completely empty and for the first time in days, her stomach didn’t feel like it was gnawing on itself.She let out a satisfied sigh. she didn't believe she just ate real food. Actual food.The little diner on the corner had been nothing fancy, just fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and a glass of water—but to Aria, it tasted like heaven. She almost wanted to hug the waitress when she cleared the plate.“Done already?” the waitress asked with a grin.Aria chuckled softly. “Trust me, I could lick the plate clean.”The woman laughed and walked away, and Aria sat there for a moment, savoring the warmth in her belly before slipping the bill under her fingers. It stung a little, handing over those crumpled bills, but she reminded herself: Food is fuel. You need this energy for today.Outside, the chilly Chicago breeze nipped at her cheeks as she stepped onto the
