(Lyra’s POV)

My legs wouldn’t move.

I was paralyzed in the museum's stillness, my mouth slightly parted, eyes wide, and a thousand thoughts crashing through my head.

“Daddy!”

That word repeated in my ears over and over.

Finn’s voice. Calling him. Calling Rhys. No. No. This couldn’t be happening.

I blinked hard, my heart slamming in my chest as if trying to tear through my ribcage.

Rhys was here, holding Finn, my Finn?

Wait, my Finn?

I didn’t even know what I meant anymore.

His appearance had changed. The mask of control he'd always worn now shattered, revealing a raw, unguarded emotion that went far beyond panic. Relief, Fear, Love and what I can't really phantom.

He was kneeling, clutching Finn to his chest like the boy was his entire world.

“Rhys?” I whispered, almost choking on the name. He didn’t hear me.

“Daddy, she saved me!” Finn’s little voice rose with excitement as he pointed in my direction. “The pretty lady! She hit the bad man with a sign and ran with me! She’s a hero!”

  • PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE    Chapter 13: The Other Woman

    (Lyra's POV)My son was home. And so was I… I felt like I was breathing again. Not fully. But enough. For the first time in years, I woke up feeling like a mother again, complete, at peace, and whole. Finn's soft breathing beside me reminded me of everything I had missed, but also of what I had regained, the strength and everything…We spent the morning in his room, playing with blocks and flipping through a storybook he insisted on reading to me, even though he barely knew how to read. His voice was filled with excitement, and every so often, he would pause to ask if I remembered something from when he was a baby, as if trying to connect the pieces of our long-lost bond. My heart melted each time.Just as he was showing me how he lined up his dinosaur toys in “battle formation,” we heard the front door open downstairs. I didn't think much of it until I heard the sound of heels clicking sharply against the marble floor, getting closer and closer. Finn looked up with a big smile.“Cia

    Chapter 12: Fractured Trust, Healing Moments.(Lyra's POV)The silence in the car was loud and so unsteady.Finn was busy humming some soft tune in the back seat, his little fingers playing with the toy dinosaur he’d been clutching since the museum. But Rhys and I sat in the front, too close for comfort and too far apart for the truth. My stomach churned with something unknown. My chest was tight. I didn’t know whether I wanted to cry, scream, or just disappear altogether, I just felt like my world was tearing apart again.Finally, Rhys cleared his throat. “You deserve to know everything, Lyra. No more secrets.”I turned to face him slightly, arms crossed tightly across my chest. “Then talk. I’m listening.”He glanced in the rearview mirror, watching Finn, then turned his gaze back to the road. “After you gave birth… I remember looking at you, and you just looked… broken. Empty. Like you didn’t even want him.”I snapped my head toward him. “What?!”“Wait…hear me out,” he said quickly,

    (Lyra’s POV)“Let me go! I’m not going with you!”The muffled voice of a child froze me mid-step.I pressed my back against the wall, heartbeat thudding in my throat. That voice hadn’t come from the main hall. It was down the corridor, behind the exhibit signs. Cautiously, I moved closer, trying not to make a sound.Around the corner, through the narrow slats of the staff balcony, I saw him—an older man with hunched shoulders and jittery hands. He had a little boy pinned down against the ground, his small mouth taped shut, eyes wide with fear. A burlap sack lay beside them, half open.My stomach turned. This wasn’t just some misunderstanding.He was trying to abduct him.I scanned the area and spotted a metal stand—a “Wet Floor” sign someone had left leaning against the wall. I gripped it tight, fingers trembling. No time to think. Just act.With all the force I could muster, I slammed the sign across the man’s back.He grunted in pain and crumpled forward, groaning. Before he could r

    (Lyra’s POV)“Is this how it ends, Rhys? You kill my son, and then hand me freedom like it’s a favor?”I didn’t say the words out loud—but they rang through me as I opened the sealed envelope the nurse placed on my bed.Inside: the divorce papers.No note. No explanation. Just cold, printed indifference.It was the final insult.My baby was gone. My body was barely stitched back together. And now, he was discarding me like I was the trash that came with the tragedy.I didn’t cry. I couldn’t. My soul had already emptied itself.That evening, I was transferred to a postpartum recovery center—a quiet, private place nestled in the hills, the kind reserved for the women of Everwyn’s elite. The staff were kind. Gentle. Professional. But none of that could reach the wound inside me. My body might recover, but my heart was a battlefield where nothing survived.I didn’t want food. I didn’t want company. I just wanted to disappear.Days blurred into weeks.Until finally, one crisp morning, a ca

  • PREGNANT and REJECTED by the BILLIONAIRE    Chapter 8: The Child Died

    (Lyra’s POV)“Where is my son?”The scream ripped out of me before I even realized I was awake. My body jerked forward in bed, tears already sliding down my cheeks.Pain shot through my abdomen, and I reached down—desperate, disoriented—searching for the familiar swell.My hands landed on gauze.And emptiness.No. No, no—A nurse burst into the room, her expression wide with alarm. “Miss Vance! You have to lie down—please, you just came out of surgery—”“I want my baby!” My voice cracked, raw from hours of silence and sobbing in sleep. “Where is he? Where’s my son?!”Two more nurses rushed in to hold me down, their touch gentle but firm. Their eyes didn’t meet mine. Not one of them could look at me.That silence… that pity... it said everything.My body trembled uncontrollably.He was gone.I stopped hearing the nurses. I stopped feeling the bed. All that remained was a ringing in my ears, and the hollow, impossible truth echoing inside me.He’s dead.He died before I could even hold
