Mira’s P.O.V

The walls of the mansion felt like they were closing in on me.

Even after all this time, I still wasn’t used to the silence here... the way it stretched, long and heavy, like it was hiding something. And now that silence was louder than ever, pressing down on my chest every time I closed my eyes.

I needed air.

More than that, I needed answers and maybe a place that didn’t whisper secrets back at me.

So I packed a small bag and told Manang Silva I was heading into the city for a doctor’s appointment. She didn’t ask questions. Just gave me that look the one that said I know you’re not telling me everything, but I won’t stop you.

I appreciated that more than I could say.

Luca had left for another business meeting earlier that morning. I made sure he wouldn't know I was gone until I wanted him to. I left my phone behind. If someone was tracking me or worse, trying to scare me through it. I couldn’t risk being followed.

  • Pregnant By The Billionaire   Chapter Twelve

    Mira's P.O.V The silence in the study was suffocating. I sat alone at Luca's desk, my hands trembling slightly as I held the folded contract I'd found hidden inside the bottom drawer. It wasn’t the original marriage agreement not the one I'd signed. This one was different. Longer. Colder. Legalese bled through the pages like poison. It had clauses I had never seen. Clause 18: In the event that Party B (Mira Alvarez) is found to be withholding any information that may endanger or compromise Party A (Luca De Silva), all protective and financial obligations shall be voided. My throat dried. I reread it. Again. And again. Protective obligations... voided. That meant if I kept secrets like investigating Cassandra or being listed as a missing person without Luca's knowledge he had the legal right to leave me with nothing. Was that why he wanted to marry me so fast? The walls felt closer now. I hadn't meant to find the contract. I had come in here looking for my sketchpad. But whe

  • Pregnant By The Billionaire   Chapter Eleven

    Mira’s P.O.V The night air was cold when I stepped out onto the balcony, but the chill didn’t bother me. Not when my chest was already heavy with something I couldn’t name restlessness, fear, guilt? Maybe all of it. Maybe more. Luca had just gone back to his study after dinner. He’d been quiet tonight more than usual. Not cold, just… thoughtful. Like there was something he wanted to say but couldn't. And I hadn’t pushed. Maybe because I was hiding my own secrets too. I wrapped my arms around myself, staring at the moonlit garden below. The silence was both comforting and suffocating. It reminded me of the nights I used to spend in my childhood room, awake and restless, pretending I couldn’t hear my parents fighting down the hall. My phone vibrated in my pocket. Unknown Caller. My heart skipped. Another threat? Another picture? But when I answered, the voice that greeted me wasn’t cold or menacing. "Hello? Mira?" "Elijah?" My voice cracked in surprise. "How did you...? Where d

  • Pregnant By The Billionaire   Chapter Ten

    Mira’s P.O.V The night air was warmer than usual, tinged with the soft scent of gardenias and freshly trimmed grass. I stepped out into the private garden, where a long table was set under a canopy of fairy lights. A gentle breeze stirred the linen tablecloth, and the soft instrumental music floating through hidden speakers made it feel like something out of a dream or a memory I never had. Luca stood at the end of the table, dressed in black slacks and a crisp white shirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbows. There was something disarming about seeing him like this no tie, no cold business mask. Just a man who, for once, didn’t look like he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. “You did all this?” I asked, hesitating a little before stepping closer. “I had help,” he admitted with a small smirk. “But yes. I wanted tonight to feel different. Just you and me.” He pulled the chair for me and I sat down slowly, still unsure if I should let my guard down. But the effort the am

  • Pregnant By The Billionaire   Chapter Nine

    Mira's P.O.V The sun filtered softly through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the polished wooden floor of the bedroom. I sat up slowly in bed, one hand instinctively settling on my lower belly. It was still flat, but somehow I already felt the weight of this tiny life inside me physically, emotionally, spiritually. The night before lingered like a ghost in the air. Luca had returned late, quiet and unreadable. We’d barely spoken, but there was something in the way his eyes softened when he looked at me that made the silence less unbearable. Something in the way his steps paused outside my door, how he gently placed a blanket over me when he thought I was asleep on the couch. Like he was learning how to care for someone again and maybe trying not to break them in the process. I slipped out of bed and walked to the window. The garden below shimmered under the morning light, too peaceful for someone carrying a secret as heavy as mine. The air carried the scent of dew-soaked r

  • Pregnant By The Billionaire   Chapter Eight

    Mira's P.O.V The walls of the mansion felt colder than usual today. Maybe it was just me. Maybe it was the weight of what I’d learned. Or maybe… I was finally starting to see this place for what it truly was beautiful, yes, but also a cage dressed in silk and silence. My name was on a missing person’s report. Not just filed randomly online or spread through whispered family gossip. An official document. With my name, my birthdate, and the last known address listed as… here. The De Silva estate. I didn’t know what scared me more that someone had filed it to make me vanish… or that the people who were supposed to love me the most had signed off on it. The morning sun did nothing to lift the heaviness in my chest. I sat on the edge of the bed, phone in hand, staring at a number I hadn’t dialed in weeks. My mother’s. I hadn’t spoken to her since the dinner—the one where I was supposed to smile, nod, and say yes to a future I never wanted. That dinner led to me running into the arm
