MILLIE'S POV

After the short break, we returned to the courtroom. The second session felt heavier somehow, like the testimonies from the first had set something in motion that couldn't be stopped.

"The prosecution calls Daniel Chen," Hayes announced.

A man in his early forties entered…average height… he kinda looked familiar, and his nervousness was obvious. His hands shook slightly as he was sworn in.

"Mr. Chen, what is your profession?"

"I'm a private investigator."

"And did Martha Harvey hire you?"

"Yes. A few months back." He wouldn't look at Martha. "She paid me five thousand dollars to track Ms. Harvey's movements and document when she took her son to the park."

"Did you know what she planned to do with this information?"

"She said..." He swallowed hard. "She said she just wanted to talk to Ms. Harvey. To try to reconcile. I swear, I didn't know she was going to try to take the kid."

"But you did observe Ms. Harvey's routine?"

"Yes. For two weeks, I documented when she went to R

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    Between storms

    MILLIE'S POVThe afternoon sun streamed through the living room windows, casting golden light across the couch where Braham and I sat tangled together. His hand traced lazy patterns on my thigh while mine rested against his chest, feeling the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.Leo was upstairs, supposedly napping, but I could hear the faint sounds of him playing with his toys instead."We should check on him," I murmured, but made no move to get up."He's fine," Braham said, his voice low and rough as his hand moved higher on my thigh. "We have a few minutes." His lips found my neck, and I tilted my head back with a soft sigh. God, I needed this. Needed the distraction. Needed to feel something other than the constant anxiety that had been churning in my stomach since Martha's sentencing yesterday."You've been quiet all day," Braham murmured against my skin. "Talk to me." "About what?" I asked, even though we both knew."About yesterday. The hearing. Seeing Silas."I pulled back sligh

    SILAS'S POVI stood outside the courtroom, leaning against the cold marble wall, trying to process what had just happened.Martha was pregnant. With my child. And she'd just antagonized the judge so badly she'd gotten her sentence almost doubled. Fifteen years. Ten before parole.My child would be born in prison. Raised, at least for the first few months, behind bars. And then what?I'd been attending all of Martha's hearings—preliminary, procedural, all of them. Always sitting in the back, always leaving before anyone could notice me. Especially before Millie could see me. I didn't know what I'd say to her. Didn't know if I had the right to say anything.Today, I'd arrived late deliberately, slipping in after everyone was seated. I'd seen Millie in the front row with Callie and Braham, looking composed and beautiful in that blue dress. And I'd made sure to sit where her back was to me.Coward. Still a coward."Mr. Butt."I looked up to find Martha's lawyer, Kevin Foster, approaching

    MARTHA’S POV I opened my mouth to say exactly what Kevin and I had practiced: "I want what's best for my baby, Your Honor. Whatever that means."But then I looked at Silas.And I saw it—that expression I'd seen a thousand times before. That look that said he wished he was anywhere else. That he wished I didn't exist. That I was nothing but an inconvenience in his perfect fantasy world where he got Millie instead of me.This baby was his. His responsibility. His burden.And he didn't want it.He'd never wanted anything from me except what he couldn't have from Millie.Something bitter and poisonous rose in my chest, burning away the careful control I'd maintained."I want to keep my baby," I heard myself say. But my eyes stayed locked on Silas. "Unless...""Unless what, Ms. Harvey?" Judge Morrison's tone had sharpened.The courtroom held its breath.And suddenly, all I could see was every time Silas had compared me to Millie. Every time he'd made it clear I was his second choice. Ever

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    The gamble

    MARTHA'S POVThe courtroom was packed when they led me in, hands cuffed in front of me.I scanned the gallery, taking in every face. Reporters filled the back rows, cameras ready despite the no-photography rule. A few faces I didn't recognize—probably curious onlookers drawn by the scandal.And there, in the fourth row, was Silas.My breath caught. I hadn't expected him to come. Hadn't seen him since the day I was arrested, when he'd walked past me without a word as the police shoved me into their car.He looked terrible. Thinner than I remembered. Dark circles carved under his eyes. His suit hung loose on his frame like he'd lost weight and forgotten to buy new clothes.But he was here.Our eyes met for just a second before he looked away, his jaw tight.Then I saw her.Millie.She sat in the front row, and of course she did. Of course she wouldn't miss this. This was her victory lap, her chance to watch me get exactly what I deserved.She looked beautiful, naturally. Hair perfectly

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    The last card

    MARTHA'S POVThe pregnancy test sat on the cell sink, mocking me with its two pink lines.Pregnant.I stared at those lines until they blurred, my hands trembling against the cold metal. Two days. I had two days until my final hearing. Two days until Judge Morrison sentenced me for attempted kidnapping, stalking, and child endangerment.My public defender had already prepared me for the worst: eight to twelve years. Maybe fifteen if the judge was feeling particularly harsh.But pregnant women got considerations. Lighter sentences. Delays. Sympathy.This could be my way out.I carefully hid the test inside my mattress, checking twice to make sure it was completely concealed. The guards couldn't know yet. Not until I played this exactly right.The baby was Silas's. Had to be—he was the only man I'd been with in the past year. Before everything fell apart. Before that night he'd beaten me bloody. Before I'd made the catastrophic decision to go after Millie's son.God, that felt like a li

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    The impossible choice

    MILLIE'S POV"We need to talk." My voice was steady despite the trembling in my hands. "Privately."Braham nodded once, his jaw tight. "Leo, buddy, why don't you take your dragons upstairs? We need to discuss some boring grown-up stuff." "Is it about the bad people?" Leo asked, getting off the floor with his drawings clutched to his chest."It's about schedules and calendars," I said, forcing brightness into my tone. "Very boring. I promise."He studied us with those too-knowing eyes, clearly wanting to stay and eavesdrop, but finally trudged toward the stairs. "You're bad liars," he called back.Despite everything, I almost smiled.The moment his bedroom door closed upstairs, I turned to Braham."This isn't a coincidence.""No," he agreed, his voice hard as stone. "It's not."In his study with the door firmly closed, the full weight of the situation crashed down on us."They know." Braham paced like a caged wolf, his movements sharp and agitated. "They've been watching the news cove
