VIV’S POV

A low hum buzzed overhead, like the whisper of faulty lights or the presence of something just beyond comprehension. My eyelids fluttered open, heavy and slow, like they were coated in molasses. My head ached, dull and pounding, the kind of pain that came from something chemical. Not sleep. Not exhaustion. No, this was induced.

I tried to sit up, but the cold, hard surface beneath me made the process difficult. Hard bed. It was an iron bed with a very little mattress underneath it. I took my hands to inspect my baby and sighed in relief when I felt the round bulge.

Where the hell was I?

I turned my head slowly, blinking at the dim ceiling light above. Everything felt like a memory just out of reach. Flashes came in bursts. Me slipping through the back of the hotel, pressing the elevator button repeatedly like a madwoman, praying I could vanish before anyone saw me. Then... women. Hands. Voices. And nothing.

Just as I pushed up on my elbows, about to make sense of my surround

  • Pregnant For My Ex-Fiancé’s Father    Epilogue

    ELORAIt was just past noon when the last of the catering team finally left the penthouse, and I could finally take a breath. The scent of grilled sea bass, rosemary butter, and herbed potatoes lingered in the air like a gentle perfume, mingling with citrus zest and fresh cut peonies. Sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting golden beams across the marble tiles, polished to a mirror-like gleam. This space—modern, airy, and perched high above Manhattan—was now mine.I walked slowly across the open-plan living room, adjusting the collar of my cream silk blouse, tucking in a strand of hair, and brushing down my high-waisted beige slacks. I paused at the dining table to inspect the setup one more time. Not a fork out of line. The long, glossy glass table was dressed in crisp white linens, each place setting arranged with surgical precision—gold-rimmed china, crystal wine glasses, tall vases of white roses, and ivory napkins tied with soft ribbon.Everything had to be

    ROWENTwo weeks had passed.Two painfully long weeks where I kept myself buried in work and planning, trying to keep every thought of her out of my head—and failing miserably. Elora was like a thorn I didn’t want to remove. She'd wormed her way into the walls of my mind, and no matter how many late nights I spent pacing across my office or drowning myself in reports and restructuring plans, she remained there.But she was finally coming back. I had made sure of it.She had earned her place—more than anyone else in this corrupt empire my family built. She saw through the lies. She had taken damage, endured loss, betrayal, humiliation, and still held her head high. That kind of spirit didn’t just belong anywhere. It belonged here. With me.I stood behind my desk, eyes fixated on the tablet in my hand as the camera feed flickered to life. She had just stepped into the building. Her hair was down, straight, a little messy like she hadn’t put in too much effort. But her eyes... they held s

    ELORAThe sun had barely dipped beneath the Manhattan skyline when I turned on the TV in my living room. The breaking news banner spread boldly across the screen, and I stared, numb, as Rowen Grayson’s face lit up the broadcast. It was surreal. After everything that had happened—after all the chaos, the lies, the betrayals—he had won.A reporter stood in front of the courthouse, speaking with a grave tone. "The charges against Mr. Rowen Grayson have been dropped after an independent investigation proved the allegations were false. In fact, substantial evidence points to Ethan Grayson orchestrating the false claim, using Melissa Grayson, the ex-wife of Rowen Grayson, as a puppet to carry out the scandal."The footage cut to scenes of Ethan’s properties being seized—luxury cars being towed from a gated mansion, files being wheeled out in boxes, his penthouse locked down with yellow tape and NYPD officers stationed at the entrance. Ethan’s face flashed next, a split-second shot of him lo

  • Pregnant For My Ex-Fiancé’s Father    Family’s disgrace

    ETHANI was halfway through a glass of red wine, seated at the far end of the dining table in our family estate, when I chuckled to myself. My parents sat at their usual spots, dressed like royalty as always. The long mahogany table was bare except for the wine decanter and our empty plates, but lunch was on its way. I tilted my head slightly and looked at Charles, my father, who had been reading the day's paper as if something important could still surprise him."By now, the police should be at Rowen's door," I said, breaking the silence.Charles lowered the newspaper with a bored look and raised one eyebrow. "Don’t count your wins before the bell rings."I scoffed and leaned back in my seat. "What? You think they’ll let that bastard keep getting away with everything? Melissa’s parents played their part. The video’s done damage already."My mother, Eleanor, dabbed at her lips with her napkin. "The news hasn’t broken yet, Ethan. If Rowen catches wind before it does, he’ll bury it. You

    ROWENIt was late afternoon when James walked into my office without knocking. That was unlike him. I didn’t even look up at first—just sipped from the tumbler of scotch in my hand while I reviewed the acquisition report from our Zurich branch. The silence lingered. I slowly raised my eyes.James stood by the door, face unreadable, hands clasped behind his back."We have a situation," he said quietly.I set the glass down."What sort of situation?"He took two steps forward, placed a black folder on my desk, and opened it. Inside was a printed screenshot of a social media post. My eyes skimmed the text."Our daughter Melissa Grayson has not been seen or heard from since her divorce from President Rowen Grayson of Crayson Corporation. We are deeply concerned for her wellbeing."Below was a picture of the two familiar faces—Melissa’s parents. Their expressions were a blend of pity and righteous indignation.I clenched my jaw."Ethan," I muttered through my teeth.James nodded."I took t

  • Pregnant For My Ex-Fiancé’s Father    To fight

    ELORAThe sun beamed down from the sky like it had no intention of being subtle. Heat shimmered off the pavement, and the air smelled like summer—warm asphalt, melting ice cream, and fried street snacks. It was the kind of day that made people want to be out, and that’s exactly where I was—with Gemma, my best friend and the only person who still made me laugh without trying too hard.We had decided to make a full day out of it. No work, no phones, no overthinking. Just two girls taking a break from the shitstorm that had become my life. We started at this indoor gaming centre downtown—Gemma’s idea, of course. I wasn’t exactly a gamer, but the excitement in her voice had made it impossible to say no.The place was loud. Kids screaming, music blasting, machines pinging and dinging like a casino on crack. But it was fun. The good kind of chaos. Gemma dragged me to the VR zone first, where we had to wear these massive headsets and fight off digital zombies. I screamed so loud I tripped ov
