LOGINEmily has never known the warmth of a real family. Abandoned before she was born and orphaned young, she was taken in by her best friend’s mother—fed, clothed, and educated, but never truly loved. To them, she was just the charity case they picked up from the streets, tolerated but never chosen. Still, Emily believed in love, she trusted her boyfriend, she trusted her best friend. Until the night she walked in on them together… in his bed. Shattered and drunk, she spent one reckless night with a mysterious stranger, desperate to forget the betrayal. By morning, he was gone, leaving only a name behind. Mr. Harrison Grey. She never expected to see him again, until she returned home and watched her best friend run into the arms of the same man. “Daddy! I missed you!” In that moment, Emily’s world collapsed all over again, because the stranger she spent the night with was her best friend’s father. Now, a dangerous secret is growing inside her, one that could destroy what little stability she has left. As forbidden feelings, jealousy, and buried family secrets surface, Emily must confront a truth she never saw coming. What happens when the man who gave you one night of comfort becomes your forbidden baby daddy?
View MoreI walked through the corridor and the loud moans from Gabriel's room made me stop on my track.
“Ahh… baby, make me feel you… harder… harder!”
I froze.
My fingers tightened around the strap of my bag as my heart began to beat wildly inside my chest. The sound was coming from Gabriel’s bedroom.I knew I wasn't supposed to go there , I just wanted to know who he is cheating on me with this time around.
I knew that voice.
I knew the way it moaned his name.
But my mind refused to accept it.
Maybe I was mistaken.
Maybe it was the television.
Maybe I was just imagining things.
But then the voice came again.
“Gab… please… harder, baby…”
My breath caught in my throat. My legs suddenly felt heavy, like someone had tied stones to them. I wanted to move And I just couldn't move my legs one bit.
My heart was screaming and I was already boiling inside and burning in hate .
No… this can’t be real.
Not Gabriel.
Not him.
Still, something inside me pushed me forward.
I had to see it with my own eyes.
I slowly walked down the corridor, each step feeling like torture. The closer I got to the bedroom, the louder the sounds became. The bed creaked against the wall, and soft giggles mixed with breathless moans.
My hands began to shake.
Who is in there with him?
Anger slowly replaced my fear. My chest burned, and my vision blurred with hot tears.
But the moment I focused on the voice again, my blood seemed to turn cold.
It sounded… familiar.
Too familiar.
“No,” I whispered to myself. “It can’t be her.”
I didn’t want to think about it.
I didn’t want my thoughts to be right.
With trembling legs, I climbed the last few steps to his room.
Then I saw it.
Gabriel’s black sneakers were lying by the door. And right beside them was a pair of elegant, gold high-heeled sandals.
I knew those sandals.
I had seen them many times.
They belonged to only one person.
Tessa.
My best friend.
My heart skipped a beat.
But that’s impossible.
Tessa told me she was traveling to Toronto to meet someone. She even hugged me goodbye this morning.
So why were her shoes here?
In my fiancé’s house?
Right in front of his bedroom?
My breathing became uneven.
“No… no, this isn’t real.”
Before I could stop myself, I pushed the door open.
And the scene in front of me almost made me lose my mind.
Gabriel was on the bed, his back facing me. His body moved in fast, desperate thrusts. Beneath him was a woman, her hands wrapped around his shoulders.
Her long brown hair spread across the pillow.
Her face tilted back in pleasure.
It was Tessa.
My best friend.
My fiancé of four years was sleeping with the girl I called my sister and busy thrusting in and out of her like his life depended on it.
For a moment, everything around me went silent.
I couldn’t hear the bed.
I couldn’t hear their moans.
I couldn’t even hear my own heartbeat.
All I could feel was pain.
“What exactly is going on here?” My voice shook as I spoke. “Gabriel… what nonsense is this?”
They didn’t even stop.
They didn’t even look at me.
Gabriel only glanced over his shoulder for a second, his eyes meeting mine. Then he turned back to Tessa and continued moving like I wasn’t even there.
Like I was invisible.
Like I didn’t exist.
That was when the tears finally fell.
Hot, painful tears streamed down my face as my chest tightened. I felt like my heart was being ripped apart.
Without another word, I turned and ran out of the room.
I rushed down the stairs, my vision blurred by tears. I didn’t care where I was going. I just needed to get away.
Away from that house.
Away from that bed.
Away from the betrayal.
I had almost reached the gate when I heard heavy footsteps behind me.
“Emily! Emily, wait!”
I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.
“Emily, please stop! It’s not what you think!” Gabriel shouted.
I stopped.
Slowly, I turned to face him.
The boy I had loved all my life stood in front of me, breathing hard. The same boy I chose over many handsome and successful men.
The boy I trusted with my whole heart.
I thought he was different.
I thought he would never hurt me.
But I was wrong.
“How could you?” My voice trembled. “How could you make me look like a fool in front of my best friend?”
“Baby, please listen to me,” he begged. “It wasn’t intentional. It was just a mistake. I regret it. Please don’t leave me. Don’t break up with me.”
His voice sounded pitiful, almost desperate.
But I felt nothing.
No sympathy.
No love.
No softness.
Only anger.
If this were the past, I might have forgiven him again. I might have believed his sweet words and empty promises.
But not this time.
I had had enough.
“This is what you always say,” I snapped. “Every time I catch you cheating, you say it was a mistake.”
His face turned pale.
“The last time, it was your housemaid. You said you were drunk. You begged me to forgive you.”
Tears rolled down my cheeks again.
“You could have just told me you never loved me. But instead, you chose to sleep with my best friend. Why her? Why not some random girl? You just showed me that I mean nothing to you.”
“Emily, please—”
“No!” I shouted. “For my own mental health, I’m leaving. It’s over between us, Gabriel. Nothing you say will ever make me stay.”
Just then, I heard soft footsteps behind him.
Tessa walked out of the house like she was on a runway. She was only wearing Gabriel’s shirt, and a satisfied smirk rested on her lips.
She looked… happy.
Happy to destroy my life.
“I guess I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time,” she said casually. “I don’t even know why you were so foolish, Emily.”
My heart tightened.
“How could you believe I actually loved you?” she continued. “I only acted like your sister because I pitied you. You had no one else in this cruel world.”
Her words felt like knives stabbing my chest.
“I was tired of pretending,” she went on. “Every time I saw your face, I felt disgusted. You’re nothing but a poor, unwanted girl. So go find someone else to pity you, because I’m done, you are just someone my mother and I helped and picked up from the street.”
My ears rang.
I couldn’t process what she was saying.
It felt like a nightmare.
Like I was dreaming.
Like none of this was real.
But it was.
“Looking at you makes my skin crawl,” she added coldly.
I glanced at Gabriel, expecting him to defend me. To say something. Anything.
But he only lowered his head in silence.
That silence hurt more than any insult.
In that moment, I understood everything.
I had trusted the wrong people.
Loved the wrong people.
Believed the wrong people.
I was the fool.
Tears streamed down my face as I took a step back.
“I hope both of you rot in hell,” I said weakly. “Gabriel, you will pay for this.”
Then I turned around and walked out of the gate.
This time, I didn’t look back.
Because the moment I did… I knew my heart would shatter into pieces.
And I wasn’t sure it could ever be fixed again.
Morning came slowly.The house was quiet.Too quiet.It felt like something heavy was sitting in every room.Diana did not sleep well.She woke up early.Her mind was still burning with anger.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Emily’s face.She heard the word again.Pregnant.It made her chest tight.She walked out of her room and went downstairs.The living room was empty.She stood there for a moment.Then she said quietly to herself, “She will not stay here.”Her voice was cold.Very cold.A few minutes later, Harrison came downstairs.He looked tired.His face was serious.He did not greet Diana.He just walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water.Diana watched him carefully.“So,” she said.He did not look at her.“So what?” he asked calmly.“So what are you planning to do?” she demanded.He took a sip of water.“About what?”Diana’s eyes widened.“About that girl!” she shouted.Harrison slowly placed the glass down.“Lower your voice,” he said.“I will not low
Emily locked the door.Her hands were shaking.She leaned her back against the door slowly.The house was quiet now.But the silence did not give her peace.It felt heavy.Like something was pressing on her chest.She slowly walked to the bed and sat down.Her face still hurt from the slap.Her heart hurt more.Pregnant.The word repeated again and again in her mind.She placed her hand on her stomach.It felt the same.Nothing had changed on the outside.But inside…Everything had changed.A tear rolled down her cheek.She did not even wipe it away.“How?” she whispered.But she already knew how.Her body trembled.Her mind slowly went back.Back to that night.That night she tried to forget.That night she buried deep inside her heart.The memory came like a sudden flash.A dark room.Soft light.The smell of strong perfume.A deep voice.She closed her eyes tightly.“No…” she whispered.But the memory did not stop.She remembered how confused she felt.How everything happened too f
The evening was quiet outside.But inside the house, the air was heavy.Diana was sitting in the living room.Her face was dark with anger.Her mind was not calm.She kept thinking about the news.Pregnant.That girl was pregnant.Under her roof.She felt insulted.She felt ashamed.Just then, the front door opened.Tessa walked in.She dropped her handbag on the table.“Mom, I’m home,” she said casually.She did not notice the tension at first.Diana looked at her.Her eyes were sharp.“Tessa,” she said coldly.Tessa stopped.“What happened?” she asked.Diana stood up slowly.“You will not believe what happened today.”Tessa frowned.“What?”Diana walked closer.“That useless girl,” she said with hatred in her voice.“She is pregnant.”Silence.Tessa blinked.“What?” she asked.“She is pregnant,” Diana repeated.Tessa stared at her mother.“Emily?” she asked.“Yes!” Diana snapped.“That shameless girl!”Tessa’s eyes widened.“For who?” she asked quickly.Diana folded her arms.“She r
The car moved slowly on the road.Inside the car, it was very quiet.Too quiet.Harrison was driving.His face looked hard and cold.His eyes were fixed on the road.He did not look at Emily.Not even once.Emily sat beside him.Her hands were on her lap.They were shaking.She did not know why her heart felt so heavy.She did not know what the doctor said.But she knew something was wrong.Very wrong.She looked at Harrison carefully.“Sir…” she said softly.He did not answer.She swallowed.“Sir, am I very sick?”His hands tightened on the steering wheel.“No,” he said shortly.Just one word.Nothing more.She felt fear rise inside her chest.Then why was he like this?Why was his voice so cold?Why did he not look at her?The rest of the drive was silent.The air inside the car felt heavy.Emily looked outside the window.The world outside looked normal.People were walking.Cars were moving.But inside the car, everything felt strange.Her head was still a little dizzy.Her body f
