Mira’s P.O.V

The mansion had never felt so suffocating. Its marble halls gleamed under the evening lights, but instead of comfort, all I felt was a crawling unease. Every shadow seemed heavier, as if the walls themselves held secrets I was never meant to uncover.

And then, there she was.

Caroline Navarro.

She stood by the grand staircase as though she owned the place, her body wrapped in elegance...black silk that hugged her figure, diamonds winking at her ears, her lips painted in that cruel shade of crimson. She didn’t belong here, not in Luca’s home, not in his world anymore… and yet she stood there with the confidence of a queen.

Her eyes landed on me, cold and assessing, and for a moment I felt stripped bare.

“Mrs. De Silva,” she said smoothly, her voice like velvet hiding the sharpness of a knife. “Finally, we meet properly.”

I froze. Every instinct screamed at me to run, but my feet betrayed me, locked in place.

“What are you doing here?” My voice was steadier than I ex

  • Pregnant By The Billionaire   Chapter One Hundred Sixteen

    Mira’s P.O.VThe rhythm of footsteps drew closer, steady and unhurried. Every click of leather against marble seemed to echo twice as loud inside my chest. My fingers tightened around the edge of the table, the wood cool beneath my skin, as though bracing could anchor me against the inevitable.Then the door eased open.Luca stepped into the kitchen as though he owned not just the villa, but the very air inside it. He wore a crisp white shirt, sleeves rolled to his elbows, collar undone just enough to reveal the sharp line of his throat. The morning light caught the edge of his jaw, shadowing half of his face and sharpening the other.His gaze found me immediately. Always.“You’re awake early.” His voice was smooth, steady, but the undertone carried weight—something between accusation and quiet interest.I pressed my hands against the cup still on the table, though the tea inside had already cooled. “I couldn’t sleep.”H

  • Pregnant By The Billionaire   Chapter One Hundred Fifteen

    Mira’s P.O.VMorning crept slowly into the villa, pale light sliding across the marble floor and glinting against the heavy frames of the paintings that lined the corridor. The air carried a faint dampness, the kind that clung to the skin after the night’s coolness. Somewhere, a maid had opened the windows too early, letting in the scent of wet earth and pine.I walked carefully, one hand resting at the small of my back for balance. Every movement felt heavier now. My body no longer belonged entirely to me—it swayed to the rhythm of the child inside me. When the baby shifted beneath my ribs, pressing outward with an impatient nudge, I stopped mid-step and leaned against the wall. The chill of the stone steadied me, but it also reminded me how cold these walls always felt.“Ma'am Mira?”The familiar voice snapped me back to the present.I turned and found Manang Silva standing in the doorway of the kitchen. She carried a tray with both han

  • Pregnant By The Billionaire   Chapter One Hundred Fourteen

    Mira’s P.O.VThe night had settled fully by the time the lamps in the sunroom were lit.Soft amber light spilled across the tiled floor, chasing away the sharpness of the glass walls but not their weight. Outside, the garden was gone to shadow, the roses nothing more than dark shapes swallowed by the night. Only the faint line of the pine trees remained visible, their silhouettes stretching upward like blackened spines.I sat back in the wicker chair, the blanket now draped loosely across my lap. My body ached with the heaviness of the day—the baby pressing insistently beneath my ribs, my ankles swollen, my chest tight with a restlessness I could not shake.Across from me, Luca had not moved much since sitting down. He leaned back, one arm resting over the chair’s edge, posture deceptively casual. But his eyes… they never softened. They followed every shift in me—the way I pressed my hand against my stomach, the way my shoulders sagged under the weight of exhaustion.The silence betwe

    Mira’s P.O.VEvening had not fully arrived, yet the air carried the weight of it.The glass walls of the sunroom, so open during daylight, now seemed to thicken with shadow. The roses outside, vivid just an hour ago, had darkened into muted patches of red, their outlines blurring against the creeping dusk. The pine trees looked sharper now, their shapes carved into black against the fading sky, like watchmen who never needed rest.I shifted in the wicker chair, the blanket slipping against my skin. Its fabric was softer than I expected, almost too soft, like something chosen with careful thought. My hands lingered on its edge, rubbing the hem between my fingers, and the smallest pang of unease flickered through me. Was it Ana’s kindness alone, or had Luca instructed it? Nothing in this house seemed untouched by his reach.The baby moved again. Not restless this time—more like a slow, deliberate turn inside me. My breath caught at the sensation, my body yielding to the child’s quiet in

  • Pregnant By The Billionaire   Chapter One Hundred Twelve

    Mira’s P.O.VThe hours after Luca left the study passed in fragments, not in whole pieces.I drifted from one room to another, tracing the same polished halls as though the walls themselves might shift if I caught them at the right moment. But they never did. They only stared back, smooth and unyielding, their silence pressing closer with each step.By late afternoon, I found myself in the villa’s sunroom, a space that looked as though it had been designed for someone else entirely. Glass stretched across three walls, tall panes catching the slant of the sun. The light poured in unrestrained, gold at first, then tinged with amber as the day tilted toward evening. Dust clung to the air again, but here it glowed warmer, suspended in the beams like tiny stars.The wicker chair creaked faintly under my weight when I lowered myself onto it. I smoothed the robe across my knees, then rested my hands against the taut swell of my stomach. The baby shifted

  • Pregnant By The Billionaire   Chapter One Hundred Eleven

    Mira’s P.O.VMorning had already given way to late sunlight when I found myself sitting near the wide window of the villa’s study. The curtains had been pulled back just enough to let the light in, spilling across the desk in warm sheets of gold. Dust floated lazily in the air, tiny motes glimmering whenever they caught the light, and for a moment I sat still, watching them drift as though they had no weight.I envied them.My own body felt nothing but weight—of the child inside me pressing insistently against my ribs, of the silence pressing into my chest, of the unspoken words I kept swallowing every time Luca entered the room.The scent of polished wood lingered around me, varnish and old leather mixing faintly in the air. The study smelled nothing like the lavender-soaked bedroom or the sterile brightness of the kitchen. Here, the air was heavier, darker. A space built for decisions, for power, not comfort. I wondered if Luca had chosen this place for me to sit today—if even my sm
