Ava blinked rapidly, her mouth opening before her brain could catch up.

The words had slipped out… loud, careless, and damning.

Shit.

Her heart slammed against her ribs as she took a slow step back, silently praying she hadn’t said that out loud.

But she did and they heard.

Noah’s eyes narrowed like a loaded gun. Nora’s brows knit together, confusion replacing shock.

She tilted her head slightly. “What do you mean … I got your baby? How exactly did I do that?”

Ava forced a nervous laugh, waving a dismissive hand as if she could swat the moment away. “Nothing. I… I didn’t mean it like that.”

“That didn’t sound like nothing.” Noah said coldly.

She tried to move past him, but he was faster.

Noah grabbed her arm and slammed the door shut. The sound echoed sharply through the room.

“Now,” he snapped. “You’re going to talk. Before I lose what little patience I have left.”

Damn mouth, Ava cursed inwardly.

She exhaled slowly and looked anywhere but at them. “

  • Non~Contracted: The Heart Doesn't Need a Contract to Break   Author's Note

    Dear Readers,If you made it to this point… thank you. Truly.I don’t take your time, your patience, or your heart for granted. Every comment, every moment you spent following Nora and Noah through their heartbreak, their healing, and their stubborn fight for a second chance ... all of it means the world to me.This story was never just about romance.It was about two people learning to breathe again after being torn apart.It was about forgiveness, the kind that feels impossible, the kind that feels unfair, the kind that still somehow finds its way back home.Writing this book was a joy. There were scenes that tore me open, scenes that healed something in me,. Nora and Noah have lived in my head for so long that letting them go, even a little, feels like saying goodbye to two friends I’ve grown up with.But the beauty of stories is that they never truly end. They leave doors open if you look closely.And that brings me to what comes next.This is not our final goodbye.Not yet.From

  • Non~Contracted: The Heart Doesn't Need a Contract to Break   Chapter 100 ~ Together Forever

    ϖϖϖϖϖNora stood still as the final pin was secured into her hair, her breath shallow, not from the nerves, but from the weight of how far she’d come to reach this moment.This wasn’t doubt; it was acknowledgement.She knew this woman in the mirror. She knew the quiet strength in her eyes, the softness earned through loss, and the stability that came from surviving what should’ve broken her.She was getting married again.Not because she needed saving.Not because she was afraid of being loved.But because she had chosen love… again… after grief had tried to teach her otherwise.After Nora had said the big yes, Noah hadn’t wasted a second. He swept her home, made love to her like his life depended on it, and honestly, in the middle of it, she begged for more.If it were possible to get her pregnant again, he would’ve done so without hesitation.Her fingers drifted to the ring on her hand, her chest tightening. Liam.The first man who loved her gently. Who had taught her so much, given

    ϖϖϖϖϖThe ride back was silent.Not the awkward kind... no fidgeting, no forced words. Just silence, weighed down by everything that had been said … and everything that hadn’t.Noah drove with one hand on the wheel, the other resting loosely on the gearshift. His eyes stayed on the road, but every so often, they drifted to Nora.Her head was leaning against the window, the city lights sliding across her face in fleeting reflections. She looked calm. Too calm. And he knew better than to believe that.He broke the silence first. “Are you okay?”She didn’t turn. “Define ‘okay.”A faint smile tugged at his mouth. “You were quiet back there. I half expected you to tear her apart.”“I wanted to,” she admitted softly. “But I couldn’t.”That made him glance at her again.“No matter how much I want to be with you,” she continued. “I didn’t want it to come at the cost of your mother.”Noah exhaled, tightening his grip on the wheel. “It wasn’t your fault. She made her choice.”“I know.” Her voic

    ϖϖϖϖϖThree Months LaterThree months.That was how long it had been since Nora last stood in front of a mirror, holding her breath as the reality of her pregnancy took slowly settled into her bones.The woman staring back at her looked the same… reserved. But inside, she was a walking disaster.She should have been used to this. She had done motherhood before. Twice.And yet fear had a way of reinventing itself. No matter how familiar the road, the uncertainty never softened. It always found a new way to ache.She rested a hand on her still-flat stomach, fingers trembling just slightly.“We’re going to be okay… right?” she whispered.The clock on the wall ticked softly.5:30 p.m.It was time.Noah had arranged dinner with his mother… to talk things through. Which, translated bluntly, meant telling Rosa Bamford that the woman she despised most in the world was carrying her grandchild. And hoping… against all logic, that something in Rosa might change.Nora wasn’t naïve. She never expe
