Christina

Next morning, I slipped into my jeans and hurried out before the hostel corridor got too noisy.

Exams were close. Everyone wanted good grades, a shot at internships.

I once wanted that too.

But now? Even reaching the next semester felt impossible.

What if my delivery date clashed with my exams?

My steps slowed near the bookshop. On the front rack, a pale blue cover caught my eye.

Early Motherhood Care.

My fingers brushed the glossy surface before I even thought about it.

I flipped it

  • My Stepbrother Got Me Pregnant   Chapter sixty two

    ChristinaI stayed as far from Hunter as possible.Still, I could feel him somewhere behind me. Watching.But from his expression earlier, I didn’t think he suspected anything about Kai. There was curiosity. Nothing more.He had moved on and was getting married soon. Lisa is beautiful and perfect with him.He wouldn’t think about us anymore.That thought gave me a small breath of relief.Then the staircase lights brightened.Uncle Carter helped Mom down the steps.She was dressed beautifully. Dolled up in a soft gold silk. Diamond enhanced her beauty. Her hair styled just the way she liked.She looked radiant.And fragile.The smile was there. But so was the exhaustion beneath it. The weight loss. The faint tremble in her hand.My eyes burned.I walked to her quickly and wrapped my arms around her. Carefully.“Chris… you came,” she said, her voice filled with happiness.Then she looked at Kai.“Kai is here too… I’m so happy.”I smiled, even though my chest ached.For tonight, I would

    ChristinaI forced a polite smile and walked further inside.Kai tightened his grip on my hand at first. Then he slowly moved behind me, hiding in the folds of my gown.“Hey… Chris.”I turned.It was Michael. Uncle Carter’s friend’s son.He was older now. Broader shoulders. Same familiar grin.My eyes flicked to the faint scar on his forehead.I remembered that night too clearly. The night he asked me out. The night he stood in front of me with flowers in his hand. Later I saw him again. Bleeding. Stitches across his brow.He and Hunter had been good friends once. After that fight, they were never seen together again.When I asked Hunter about it, he shut me down.“It has nothing to do with you.”I had wanted to believe him. I did.“Long time no see,” Michael said.“Yeah.” I gave a small awkward laugh. “I was abroad. Studying.”“Really?” His eyes swept over me. “You’ve gotten… beautiful.”“Thank you,” I replied, keeping it short.Aunt Melania told me you were back,” Michael continued.

    ChristinaHis hand rested on the buttons of his coat as he stepped out of the car.Calm. Controlled.Powerful as ever.Then his eyes landed on me.He froze.Pure disbelief spread across his face. He stared at me like I was a ghost dragged out of his past. Like he wasn’t sure I was real.Seconds passed. Heavy and charged.I saw it in his expression. His eyes didn’t blink.He was still processing. Replaying memories. Connecting pieces.Then his gaze dropped.To Kai.And something shifted.A flicker. A shock. Something close to fear.My heart slammed against my ribs.I tightened my grip on Kai’s small fingers.No.He can’t recognize him.He can’t.Hunter stood there like the world had stopped turning.For a second, it was just us. Five years of silence hanging in the air.Before he could speak, the front door swung open.The same woman from inside walked out in her heels, smiling brightly. She went straight to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.“Hunter,” she laughed and kissed his

    ChristinaEight hours later, we stepped out of the airport. The air felt different. Familiar yet heavy.“What’s that, Mom?” Kai pointed at a huge banner near the exit.He had asked questions the entire flight. About the clouds. About the ocean below. About why I was crying when I thought he was asleep.I told him I was just tired.I brought him here for one reason. So he could meet my mom. At least once. Before it was too late.But fear sat deep in my chest.Hunter was here. In this city. Breathing the same air.Kai had his grey eyes. Anyone who looked closely could see it.But he was only four and a half. Children change. Their faces shift. Maybe Hunter wouldn’t notice. Maybe he wouldn’t even see us.I had already seen in the news that he had a meeting with China’s tycoon for expansion of his business overseas.So he won’t be there.Still, the fear wouldn’t leave.The car pulled up in front of the house.I tightened my grip on Kai’s hand as we stepped out.“Mommy, your hand is shakin

    Christina“The last gown you designed,” Douglas said, scanning the reports in his hand, “we’ve already received fourteen orders.”I blinked, surprised.Douglas, my boss and my friend.He owned the departmental store. The fashion brand too. He was the one who had taken a chance on me when I was still new. A nobody with sketches and hope.He was kind to me when I least expected from the world. Gave me a place to live, to work. I owed him more than I could say.Now my designs filled the front displays of his stores. Mannequins dressed in my work. Windows glowing with fabrics I had once only imagined.“The wedding season is coming,” I said, steadying myself. “Should we focus on a bridal collection?”Douglas looked up. A slow smile spread across his face.“Yes.. But I want you to model for one of your designs..” He said and my head snapped up.“Are we short of models?” I asked sarcastically. Douglas had the top models of the country.“No.. I want to see you in a wedding gown..” He said, s

    Five years laterChristinaSunlight poured in as I pulled the curtains aside. Spring had arrived late this year, but it was finally here.Soft and quiet.I stepped into the garden and knelt down near the flowerbed. The roses had bloomed overnight. Early.I leaned in and breathed one in. It smelled just as beautiful as yesterday. The sudden downpour from last night hadn’t stolen its charm.“Mommy… are you in the garden?”Kai’s voice reached me before his footsteps did.The moment he stepped outside, he ran to me and wrapped his arms around my neck. He pressed a kiss to my cheek.He smelled like marshmallows.I kissed his tiny hands.My happiness.My whole world.My Kai.The only good thing life ever gave me.Grey eyes. Soft brown curls that never stayed in place. Four and a half years old and already too wise for his age.He was the only person I trusted. The only one I relied on. The one who could pull a smile out of me without trying.Every time I looked at him, something inside me r
