[Carter’s pov]

For a second, I thought I had misheard her.

The room had already been spinning. Too many truths colliding, too many fractures in things I thought were solid and then she said that.

She wouldn’t mind another child. The words didn’t land all at once. They echoed.

Slow.

Heavy.

And then something in my chest locked.

I still went.

Completely still.

My hand was still in hers, resting where she had placed it, but I couldn’t feel anything else—not the room, not the air, not even my own b

  • My Billionaire Husband is Addicted to Me   102

    [Carter’s pov]The moment settled but it didn’t last.It couldn’t.Because no matter how tightly I held onto her, no matter how much I wanted to stay in that one quiet space where everything felt almost… right. The reality was still waiting. And it wasn’t going anywhere.I stayed on my knees a second longer than necessary, her hands still in mine, my forehead almost brushing against them as I tried to steady my thoughts.But they didn’t settle.They shifted and sharpened, more focused. Because now I know. Not everything but enough. Enough to understand that what I had walked into wasn’t just a mistake.It was a lie.A calculated one.Six years in the making.My jaw tightened. Slowly, I let go of her hands and pushed myself up, the weight in my chest returning the moment I stood.I ran a hand through my hair, pacing once across the room before stopping near the window.“I have to deal with them,” I said. My voice sounded different now. Colder. More controlled.But underneath there was

They echoed.Slow.Heavy.And then something in my chest locked.I still went.Completely still.My hand was still in hers, resting where she had placed it, but I couldn’t feel anything else—not the room, not the air, not even my own breath.“What…?” My voice came out rougher than I expected. “What did you say?”She didn’t pull away.Didn’t hesitate.She just looked at me—steady, calm in a way that felt almost unreal compared to the storm inside me.“I’m pregnant,” she said.Just like that. No buildup. No hesitation. The world shifted. Not violently. Not like before.This was something else. Something quieter. But deeper. My fingers tensed under hers, my gaze dropping instinctively to where our hands rested.To her.To the pl

    [Olivia’s pov]For a moment after he spoke, I didn’t move.Not because I didn’t understand.But because I did.Too well.The way his voice had dropped. The hesitation. The fragments of truth he wasn’t fully saying—but I could feel sitting just beneath the surface.Something had broken.And whatever it was, it had shaken him in a way I had never seen before.I stepped closer.Slowly.Carefully.Like approaching something fragile.“Carter…” I said softly.He looked at me, but his eyes weren’t steady. They carried too much—confusion, anger, disbelief—like he was still trying to sort through everything at once and failing.I reached for him.This time, not just to hold him—but to ground him.“No matter what it is,” I said quietly, “no matter what you’ve found out…”My fingers tightened slightly around his.“I’m with you.”The words felt simple.But they weren’t.They were a promise.His jaw clenched faintly, like he was holding something back.I didn’t rush him.Instead, I guided him gently tow

    [Carter’s pov]I hadn’t moved for a long time.Not really.Time had passed—I could tell by the way the light in the room had shifted, by the faint ache settling into my muscles.But none of it registered properly. I was still standing in the same place, my mind stuck somewhere between what I had heard and what I was supposed to do with it.Father.The word refused to leave.It didn’t belong where it had been placed.It didn’t fit.And yet—It had been said.Out loud.Real.The door opened.The sound cut through everything.I turned sharply, instinct taking over before thought could catch up.Olivia.For a second, I just stared at her.And then—Panic hit.Fast. Immediate. Uncontrolled.“Olivia—” I stepped forward too quickly, my movements unsteady in a way I wasn’t used to. “What are you doing here?”Her brows pulled together slightly, confusion flickering across her face at my tone.“I came to see you,” she said, her voice soft but cautious. “You weren’t answering your phone.”Of cou

    [Olivia’s pov]The silence he left behind lingered longer than it should have.I stood there for a moment after Ronan walked out of my cabin, my eyes fixed on the door as if he might come back and say something he had chosen not to.He didn’t.Of course he didn’t.That wasn’t who he was.I exhaled slowly, pressing my palm lightly against the edge of my desk.Everything felt like it was shifting again—quietly, steadily—like the ground beneath me wasn’t as stable as I had thought.Carter.The thought came uninvited. Unavoidable. Last night’s call replayed in my mind, every broken word, every uneven breath.You were right, Olivia. Something had cracked. What was he talking about? What was the reference about? And I still didn’t know what.My fingers moved almost on their own, reaching for my phone. I stared at his name for a second.Just a second.Then I pressed call.It rang.Once.Twice.Three times.No answer.A small crease formed between my brows. That wasn’t like him. I ended the

    [Olivia’s pov]Morning came too quickly.Or maybe I just never really slept. The sky was still pale when I stepped out of the house, the air cool enough to raise goosebumps along my arms. Homer was already by the car, leaning against the hood with a cup of coffee in his hand like this was any other ordinary day.It wasn’t.Nothing felt ordinary anymore.“You look like you wrestled your thoughts all night,” he said as I approached.“Feels like I lost,” I muttered, slipping into the passenger seat.He hummed, like he expected that answer, and got in without another word.The drive was quieter than yesterday.Not heavy.Just… careful.Like both of us were choosing what not to say.I stared out the window again, but this time the city didn’t blur—it felt sharper. Every passing face, every turn, every building felt like it was part of something bigger I hadn’t yet pieced together.Carter’s voice echoed in my mind.You were right, Olivia. The way he had sounded—Broken. That wasn’t something

    [Olivia’s pov]The room felt like it had stopped breathing.Just like I did silently.Camilla stood in front of me, the wine bottle raised in her hand. I glanced at her once again, pleading with my eyes that she stops. Meanwhile, Camilla had made it clear with her threat that she held so many grud

    [Carter’s pov]Then there was silence. I could not speak anything. My mind struggled to catch up.“That’s not—” I shook my head instinctively. “That doesn’t make sense. How could Candice even do something so gruesome like this?” I denied. Not that I was worried that perhaps Olivia was lying to m

    [Carter’s pov]My phone rang just as I was about to take a turn toward the school. I didn’t hear it at first among my worry and scattered mind. The phone rang once again and when the car stopped at the red traffic light I snapped out of it.Olivia.Her name flashed across the screen. For a second,

  • My Billionaire Husband is Addicted to Me   27

    [Carter’s pov]The restaurant door closed behind Olivia with a dull thud. But the sound echoed inside my head like a gunshot. I felt it as if my heart had stopped pounding. My soul died at that moment.For several seconds, I didn’t move.I even forgot to breathe. Didn’t even blink.My eyes remaine
