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

    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

    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

    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

    MILLIE'S POVLeo's laughter filled the kitchen like music.I watched him from where I stood at the counter, supposedly preparing breakfast, but really just… watching. He was sprawled on his stomach on the floor, feet kicking in the air, surrounded by his dragon drawings. His little tongue poked out in concentration as he colored a particularly fierce-looking beast."Mama, look!" He held up the paper. "This one breathes ice instead of fire!""That's amazing, baby." I smiled, my chest tight with something I could only describe as overwhelming love.Four years old in a few months. My son. My beautiful, brilliant, impossible son.The irony wasn't lost on me. Martha had orchestrated my pregnancy to destroy me. She'd paid a nurse to violate me, to implant a seed without my consent, all to ruin my engagement, my reputation, my entire life.And she succeeded. For a while.But she'd also given me Leo.This perfect, precious boy who made dragon noises and asked questions that made me question r

  • PREGNANT FOR THE ALPHA I NEVER MET    What she deserves

    CALLIE'S POVThe apartment was quiet when I finally made it back from the studio and Renan from the pack.My hands were still shaking…not from fear, but from the adrenaline crash. Watching Millie face those cameras, speaking her truth without flinching, had been one of the most terrifying and triumphant experiences of my life."You okay?" Renan asked, closing the door behind us."I don't know." I dropped my purse on the counter and pressed my palms against the cool granite. "That was... intense.""She was incredible." He moved beside me, close enough that I could feel his warmth. "And so were you. Supporting her through all of this."I leaned back against him, letting his solid presence steady me. "I keep thinking about what could have gone wrong. What if she'd frozen? What if Diane had asked something that triggered her? What if—""But she didn't." His lips brushed my temple. "She was perfect. Strong. Everything you knew she'd be.""Because she learned how to fight back." I turned in
