Mira's P.O.V

The soft hum of the car engine was the only sound accompanying me as I stared out the tinted window. Manila blurred past gray skies, honking vehicles, pedestrians rushing along the sidewalks. My hand instinctively rested over my belly, now noticeably rounded beneath my loose dress.

Five months. I was five months pregnant.

The fluttering inside me had started to feel like tiny kicks, almost like gentle nudges reminding me that life was growing. That everything had changed. And there was no turning back.

Beside me in the backseat, Manang Silva sat silently, her brows knitted in concern as she scrolled through her phone. She’d insisted on coming with me to my new OB-GYN clinic a different one this time, after what happened during my last visit.

That previous hospital had flagged me as a missing person when I used my real name, Mira Alvarez. The receptionist had looked at me like I was a ghost. Since then, we couldn’t take any more risks. Whoever was behind it my family,

  • Pregnant By The Billionaire   Chapter Eighteen

    Mira's P.O.V There was something about silence that made it louder when the truth started whispering. And lately, silence was all I had. Luca had been more attentive, more present in the past few days bringing home dinner, holding my hand longer, lingering with his eyes on my stomach like he was trying to memorize the life we created. And I hated that I loved it. Because it made lying to him harder. I was no longer just curious. I was obsessed. Every name, every date, every detail about Cassandra Navarro now had a place on the notes I kept hidden beneath the false drawer in my closet. Manang Silva helped me collect what she could from the old records. Cassandra’s medical visits, the way she seemed to vanish before her official death was reported. Nothing was adding up. “Still can’t sleep?” Luca’s voice broke through my thoughts as he leaned against the doorway, holding a cup of warm milk. I looked up from the armchair, startled. “Yeah. Just thinking.” He stepped forward, pla

    Mira's P.O.V The air in the study was suffocating. Luca hadn’t moved since the last video ended. His face was pale, as though the ghosts of his past had finally taken physical form. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the screen, from Cassandra’s final words, each one sinking deeper into my skin like thorns. “I should’ve known,” she had whispered in the final clip, barely audible. “The contract was a lie. They never let you go once you knew.” I turned to Luca. “What did she mean by that? What contract?” He swallowed hard. “It was supposed to be a business partnership. But behind closed doors… there were strings.” “Strings?” I repeated. “Like blackmail?” He didn’t answer. Which meant yes. I stood, pacing the room. My heartbeat echoed in my ears. “You brought me into this knowing how dangerous it was. You signed me up for something you don’t even understand!” “I thought it was over.” “It’s never over with people like them.” Luca buried his face in his hands. “I thought if I prot

    Mira's POV My fingers trembled as I slowly closed the notebook. Each sketch felt like a punch to the gut. They weren’t just drawings. They were moments intimate, vulnerable pieces of me, captured without my knowledge. Moments that I thought were mine alone. And Luca had drawn them. He stood by the door, leaning casually, but his eyes were unreadable. "You weren't supposed to find that," he repeated, voice low. I swallowed the lump in my throat. "How long have you been sketching me?" "Since the night we met." I sat on the edge of the bed, notebook still in my lap. "Why hide it? Why draw me like this? When I didn’t even know you cared." His jaw clenched. "Because it's the only way I knew how to hold on to something real." "Real? Luca, I don’t even know what’s real anymore. There are cameras in the mansion. Someone left a photo of me as a threat. And now this? You bringing me to a place with no signal, no staff, no escape. It feels like I'm being caged." He stepped fo

  • Pregnant By The Billionaire   Chapter Fourteen

    Mira’s P.O.V I froze. The notebook slipped from my trembling hands, landing softly on the bed. Luca's voice echoed in the silence, low and calm but laced with something I couldn’t name. "You weren’t supposed to find that." I turned around slowly. He stood in the doorway, his arms crossed over his chest, his expression unreadable. My voice cracked. "You drew me." He stepped forward. "Yes." "While I was sleeping… crying?" Luca didn’t deny it. He sat at the edge of the bed, eyes locked on mine. “It wasn’t meant to scare you, Mira.” “Then what was it meant to do?” I whispered. He was quiet for a long time. The sound of the ocean beyond the villa filled the silence. “I started drawing after Cassandra,” he finally said. “I stopped sleeping. Stopped eating. My therapist told me to try expressing what I couldn’t say aloud. So, I drew. Faces. Eyes. Dreams. You.” I swallowed the lump in my throat. “Why me?” “Because you haunt me.” His voice was hoarse now. “Because sin

    Mira’s P.O.V.My fingers trembled as I held the photograph. It was grainy, but the image was clear enough me, standing in the study, right beside Luca’s desk, holding the hidden contract. The photo had been taken from inside the mansion. From somewhere close. Too close. I turned the photo over again. Blank. No note. No message. No clue. Just silence. The kind of silence that buzzed under your skin. I scanned the hallway behind me, then the balcony. Nothing moved. But I couldn’t shake the feeling. Someone had been watching me. Someone might still be watching. I rushed back into the study, locking the door behind me. My heart was hammering in my chest as I slid open the drawer once more. The contract was still there untouched, exactly where I had hidden it behind the stack of design books. But now, it felt different in my hands. Heavier. Loaded. Like it carried more than just words. I scanned the room. The antique clock. The air vent above the door. The bookshelf
