CELESTINE POV The word "pregnant" seemed to hang in the sterile air, heavy and loud, drowning out the constant beeping of the heart monitor. My hand remained frozen against my stomach. Five weeks. My mind raced back to the dimly lit library, the scent of expensive whiskey, and the fierce, desperate way Cyrus had held me against the leather sofa before pushing me away. He had told me to pretend it never happened. But the proof was here, growing quietly inside me while the rest of my life burned to the ground. "Doctor," Julian’s voice broke the silence, sharp and rigid. He stood up from the edge of the bed, his fists clenched at his sides. "Are you absolutely sure about the lab results? There's no mistake?" Dr. Ramirez looked between the two of us, picking up on the sudden, suffocating tension in the small cubicle. "The HCG levels in her blood are definitive, sir. There’s no mistake. Right now, her body is in a state of shock, and that poses an immediate risk to the fetus. I’m presc

CELESTINE POV The harsh, artificial glare of fluorescent lights stabbed at my eyelids. I groaned, a bitter taste rising in my throat as the world slowly tilted back into focus. The rhythmic, mechanical beeping of a heart monitor echoed in my ears, accompanied by the sharp, sterile smell of antiseptic. I wasn’t on the wet driveway anymore. "Celestine? Hey, stay still. Don't try to get up yet." A firm, warm hand gently pressed against my shoulder, keeping me anchored to the stiff hospital bed. I blinked away the haze, my gaze landing on Julian Vance. His tailored suit jacket was missing, his white shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and his usually neat hair was completely disheveled. Deep lines of worry were etched around his eyes. "Julian?" My voice was a dry, painful rasp. I tried to swallow, but my throat felt like sandpaper. "Where... how did I get here?" "One of Valdemor’s perimeter security guards found you collapsed near the main gate," Julian explained softly, re

CELESTINE POV For three whole days, Cyrus became a ghost in his own home. He left for the office before the sun came up and didn't return until well past midnight. Whenever our paths crossed in the hallways, he look right through me, his face blanker and colder than ever. The intense, reckless passion we shared on the library sofa felt like a vivid dream, deliberately buried under a mountain of heavy silence. I sat in the morning room, staring blankly at a cup of tea, when my phone vibrated aggressively on the table. Seeing the name on the screen, my breath hitched. It was St. Jude’s Hospital. "Hello? Is this Ms. Celestine Aragon?" a frantic voice asked the moment I pressed answer. "Yes, speaking. What's wrong?" I stood up, my chair scraping loudly against the floor. "Your grandmother, Elena Aragon, had a severe cardiac arrest twenty minutes ago," the nurse explained, her voice tight with professional urgency. "We managed to stabilize her, but she needs immediate emergency surge

CELESTINE POV The drive back to the mansion was suffocating. Cyrus sat on the other side of the leather seat, staring out into the dark night, his jaw clenched tight. He hadn't said a single word since we left the gala. The protective alpha who had just threatened to ruin my stepmother had completely vanished, replaced by the icy stranger I married. Once we stepped inside the quiet house, Cyrus immediately walked toward his private library. The adrenaline from the party and the glasses of wine I drank made my chest swell with unvoiced feelings. "Cyrus, wait," I called out, following him through the heavy double doors. The library was dimly lit, smelling of old leather and rich mahogany. Cyrus unbuttoned his suit jacket and tossed it onto an armchair. He finally turned around, looking tired, but his eyes were still alert and guarded. "What is it, Celestine?" he asked, his voice low and exhausted. "I just... I wanted to say thank you," I said, stepping closer to him, my heels sink

CELESTINE POV The emerald-green silk gown fitted me like a second skin, draped perfectly over my curves. I stood in front of the full-length mirror, adjusting the delicate diamond necklace the stylist had picked out. To anyone else, I looked like a radiant, wealthy newborn bride. Only I could see the faint tension tightly holding my shoulders and the subtle paleness beneath my makeup. "Are you ready?" Cyrus stood at the doorway of my room. He was dressed in a tailored black tuxedo that fit his broad shoulders impeccably. His crisp white shirt contrasted sharply with his dark features, and his gaze lingered on me for a moment longer than usual. A flicker of something passed through his eyes, but it vanished as quickly as it came, replaced by his signature indifference. "As ready as I'll ever be to play pretend," I muttered, grabbing my satin clutch from the bed. "Remember the rules, Celestine," he said, stepping back into the hallway to let me pass. "We smile. We hold hands if nec

CELESTINE POV The morning sun cut through the sheer curtains of the massive bedroom, hitting my eyes. I blinked against the harsh light, a dull ache throbbing behind my temples. For a second, I forgot where I was. Then my gaze landed on the heavy, silver-embossed pen resting on the nightstand next to a signed copy of the marriage contract. Reality rushed back, heavy and suffocating. I sat up, throwing off the silk sheets. I refused to spend my first day in this house hiding like a defeated prisoner. If Cyrus Valdemor expected me to cower in my room and weep over my ruined life, he was going to be severely disappointed. I was an Aragon. My father might have lost his dignity to greed, but I still had mine. After a quick shower, I dressed in a simple, sharp white blouse and a tailored black skirt. I brushed out my hair, took a deep breath to steady my racing heart, and opened the bedroom door. The mansion was completely silent, smelling faintly of citrus polish and expensive coffee.

CELESTINE POV The heavy silk of my wedding dress felt like a lead weight pressing down on my chest. I sat stiffly on the edge of the king-sized bed, the silence of the massive bedroom echoing the emptiness in my chest. There were no flowers here. No warmth. Just sleek, modern lines of black marble
