Morning arrived slowly in the hotel room.

Grace woke up before Johnny this time.

Soft sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the room. For a few quiet seconds she simply lay there, staring at the ceiling.

Then she turned her head.

Johnny was still asleep on the couch.

One arm hung loosely over the side while the blanket Grace had given him earlier rested half on the floor.

Grace smiled faintly.

He looked peaceful.

  • My Ex’s Pregnant Sister   Chapter 22 – The Line Between Us

    The silence in the living room stretched longer than either of them expected.Grace could hear her own heartbeat.Johnny was standing so close now that she could feel the warmth coming from him. The dim light from the lamp near the couch cast soft shadows across his face, making his expression harder to read.His hand had just brushed her hair aside.It was such a small gesture.But it felt like everything had changed.Grace swallowed.Neither of them moved.Neither of them spoke.Outside, a car passed slowly along the street, its headlights briefly illuminating the room before disappearing again into the night.Grace finally found her voice.“Johnny…”Her voice came out softer than she intended.Johnny’s eyes stayed locked on hers.“Yeah?”Grace hesitated.For the past few weeks she had tried to ignore the growing feelings inside her. She had told herself that it was only gratitude. That Johnny was simply someone who had helped her when no one else would.But tonight—after the trip,

    Anita drove faster than she normally would.The anger in her chest refused to settle, and the image of Grace standing inside Johnny’s house replayed over and over in her mind. The way Johnny had stood there so calmly. The way Grace had said no without hesitation.Her grip tightened around the steering wheel.“How did things get this messy?” she muttered to herself.The city lights blurred past as she turned into the quiet neighborhood where Jackson lived. Normally, coming here helped calm her down. Jackson had always been the stable one in her life—predictable, supportive, patient.Tonight she wasn’t sure how patient he would be.She parked outside his house and sat there for a moment, staring at the steering wheel.Then she sighed and stepped out of the car.Jackson NoticesJackson opened the door before she even knocked.He had clearly been expecting her.“You’re late,” he said, stepping aside so she could enter.Anita walked in without answering.Jackson closed the door behind her

  • My Ex’s Pregnant Sister   Chapter 20 – The Return

    The flight back felt quieter than the one that had taken them away.Grace sat by the window again, her head leaning lightly against the glass as the clouds drifted beneath the airplane like endless white fields. The excitement she had felt when the trip began had softened into something deeper now—something she couldn’t easily explain.Johnny sat beside her, scrolling through a few messages on his phone, though his mind clearly wasn’t on the screen.Every now and then he glanced at Grace.She looked peaceful, but he could tell she was thinking about something.“Everything okay?” he finally asked.Grace turned slightly toward him.“Yeah,” she said softly. “Just tired.”Johnny nodded.It had been an emotional few days. The trip had started as a simple work obligation for him, but somewhere between the airport, the hotel room, the long conversations, and the moments they almost crossed a line they weren’t sure they should cross… things had changed.They both knew it.Neither had said it

  • My Ex’s Pregnant Sister   Chapter 19 – Morning Shadows and Hidden Confessions

    The sunlight peeked through the curtains again, soft and golden. Grace stirred slowly, feeling the warmth on her face. For a moment, she forgot she was in a hotel room. Her eyes slowly opened, and she realized she was not alone. Johnny had fallen asleep on the couch again, one arm dangling off the edge. The faint rhythm of his breathing was steady, and his presence filled the room with a strange comfort she hadn’t expected.Grace lay there for a few minutes, just watching him. The memory of last night—the near-kiss, the closeness, the way he had let her rest on his shoulder—made her heart pound. She gently adjusted the blanket that had slipped from his shoulders, careful not to wake him.She whispered softly to herself, “Why do I feel this way?” Her hand instinctively went to her stomach. The baby stirred lightly, and she smiled faintly, feeling the life inside her mix with the emotions building in her own heart.Quietly, she got up and stretched, careful not to wake him. Her mind wan

  • My Ex’s Pregnant Sister   Chapter 17 – The Night Everything Almost Changed

    Morning light slipped quietly through the hotel curtains.Grace stirred slowly under the soft white sheets. For a moment she forgot where she was. The unfamiliar ceiling, the faint hum of the air conditioner, and the distant sounds of traffic outside the hotel window made her blink in confusion.Then she remembered.The trip.The plane.Johnny.She sat up slightly and looked around the room.The couch near the window was empty.Johnny was already gone.Grace stretched her arms and glanced at the clock on the bedside table.9:14 AM.She remembered Johnny telling her earlier that morning that he had to leave for a few hours to meet a client.“Stay here, rest,” he had told her gently. “I’ll be back before evening.”Grace swung her legs off the bed and stood up.The room still smelled faintly like Johnny’s cologne, and for some reason that made her smile.She walked to the window and pulled the curtains open.The city outside looked beautiful in the daylight. Tall buildings reflected the
