Ana's POV

I buried myself in the launch to outrun him.

It was the only thing that worked. When I was deep in the numbers, picking apart the ad spend, rewriting the message, there was no room left in my head for the storm, the dark, his hand finding mine and not letting go. There was no room for the phone that had buzzed with my husband's name and ended the night before it could begin.

So I worked. I worked like my life was the prize.

And it paid off.

  • Pregnant For The Wrong Brother   Chapter 52: What I Didn't Tell Her

    Caspian's POV I told her I had an early flight.It was the first lie I had told her since the night at Emily's door.I felt bad about it, but I somehow managed to convince myself that it wasn't the same thing.By six I was at a clinic I had chosen because no one there knew my name."Any previous assessments?" the intake nurse asked, pen ready."One. Six years ago.""And what did that show?"I looked at the form for a moment before I answered."Nothing," I said.She wrote it down without saying a word, the way people who are paid enough always do, and I sat in a small white room and waited to find out whether the universe had made an exception for me, or whether someone had lied to me for six years.“This isn't doubt about Ana.”I told myself that twice. Once too many, and I knew it even as I thought it.°°°°°°°°°°Reyes was waiting when I got back to the office, a thin file on the desk instead of words, the way he does it when the news is bad enough that he'd rather I read it than he

  • Pregnant For The Wrong Brother   Chapter 51: Sixty Days

    Ana's POV He made me eat before I was allowed to stand."Sit back down.""Caspian, I've had toast.""Half a piece of toast." He set a plate in front of me, eggs, actual fruit, a piece of toast he'd clearly rebuilt from the one I'd abandoned. "You're eating for two now. I read that somewhere. So please sit.""You read a pregnancy article?""I didn't read a pregnancy article." He was already scrolling his phone, and I could see, upside down, a headline about the first trimester. "I glanced at one. Informationally.""Uh-huh."He looked very pleased with himself, sitting there in the morning light with his sleeves pushed up and the small white socks still sitting on the nightstand where he'd left them last night, like he couldn't bear to put them away yet. He'd been like this all morning. Softer. A little clumsy with it, this over-attentive man who kept finding reasons to put his hand flat against my stomach like he was checking something was still there."You really don't have to hover

  • Pregnant For The Wrong Brother   Chapter 50: The Man Who Should Have Stayed Buried

    Caspian's POV Some phone calls change your day.Others change your life.And the moment my phone came on, I knew this wasn't another business crisis. Looking at Anastasia standing in front of me with hope shining in her eyes, I wanted nothing more than to ignore it. "Give me one minute," I said. "I'm sorry. One minute, that's all.""Caspian…""One minute." I was already moving towards the balcony, the glass door sliding shut behind me.I answered before it could ring twice. "Talk.""He surfaced," the voice said. "The man from the old file. Showed up somewhere he shouldn't have, then vanished again before we could get eyes on him properly.""Where?""We're working on it. And there's something else." There was a small pause I didn't like. "Someone's been asking questions. About records from years back. We don't know who yet, or what exactly they're looking for.""Find out.""We're trying, sir. It isn't clean. Whoever it is knows how to stay quiet."I stood there with the wind pulling

  • Pregnant For The Wrong Brother   Chapter 49: Tomorrow

    Ana's POV Tomorrow.It had become the most dangerous word in my vocabulary.Tomorrow, I would tell Caspian about the baby.Tomorrow, I would stop hiding.Tomorrow, we would finally start the future I had been too afraid to believe in.But I didn't know that tomorrow was already slipping through my fingers.°°°°°°°°°°I woke up lighter than I had in weeks.Caspian was still asleep beside me, one arm thrown over the pillow, his face unguarded in a way it never was awake. Laying there and staring at him breathe, I made myself a promise.‘Tonight. No more tomorrow. Tonight he knows.’°°°°°°°°°°He was really kind to me that morning, kinder than usual."Sit," he said, steering me towards a chair before I'd even reached the coffee. "I've got it.""You don't have to.""I want to." He set a plate in front of me, eggs actually cooked properly for once. "How do you feel? Any dizziness?""I'm fine, Caspian.""You'd tell me if you weren't?""I would." Soon I'll tell you everything. "You're bein

  • Pregnant For The Wrong Brother   Chapter 48: The First Lie

    Sebastian's POV Nicole had become too… odd.For weeks, every answer she gave sounded rehearsed, every smile too perfect, every explanation polished before it ever reached me. I used to think love made people easier to understand. But now I was starting to realize that love was the easiest place to hide a lie.So I threw myself into work because work made sense. Numbers held still. Contracts said what they said. My own house had stopped being a place I understood, so I stopped trying to understand it and buried myself in things I could still control.The investigator's report came in on a Tuesday."Read it slowly," he told me on the phone. "There's a lot in there that looks like nothing until you look twice."The dates were wrong. Not by a little.Nicole had told me the pregnancy was confirmed in one week. The clinic's own intake log showed a different week entirely, ten days off, enough to matter, enough to change everything if I ran the math the way I'd been running it for weeks.

  • Pregnant For The Wrong Brother   Chapter 47: The Secret He Was Never Meant To See

    Caspian's POV The picture slid out from under the papers into my hand.Gray. Blurred. A small curved shape at the center, circled in white by someone's neat pen.I didn't understand it at first. My mind just refused to understand it, the way you refuse to understand a number that's too large to be real. But then it landed, all at once, the whole weight of it dropping through me like a stone through water.‘A child? She's pregnant?’At that moment I sat down on the edge of the bed because my legs didn't feel entirely mine anymore.I don't remember wanting to feel anything. Feeling has never come first for me. But it came first now, quickly and heavy, before I could get a wall up in front of it.‘A child? Mine?’I thought of a locked study door and a voice on the other end of a phone line telling me, again, patiently, the way you explain a truth to a man who refuses to learn it. “None. That hasn't moved. It isn't going to move.”Six years of none.And here, in my hand, was a picture

  • Pregnant For The Wrong Brother   CHAPTER 5: Fifty Thousand Reasons

    Ana's POV I had been at my desk twenty minutes when HR walked in and shut the door behind her."Settling in?" she asked, but her eyes were doing something her smile wasn't."It's going as planned." I kept my voice light. "The launch timeline holds. I'll have the full rollout deck ready by Friday."

  • Pregnant For The Wrong Brother   CHAPTER 4: The Man Who Never Forgets

    Caspian’s POV I knew her the second I walked through that door.I had told myself I wouldn't. I had told myself a man doesn't remember one face out of a crowded club, one night out of a hundred forgettable nights, one woman he left before the sun came up. I had told myself a lot of things on the f

  • Pregnant For The Wrong Brother   CHAPTER 3: The Stranger and the Cash

    Ana's POV I looked at the floor he wanted me to kneel on.Then I looked at my husband, sitting there so sure of himself, and I almost laughed."No," I said.His smile slipped. "Ana.""I will never kneel to her." My voice was steady now. The shaking was gone, burned clean out of me. "Keep your sign

  • Pregnant For The Wrong Brother   CHAPTER 2: The Woman in My Kitchen

    Ana's POV I didn't leave the bedroom for three days.The curtains stayed closed. The phone stayed face down.
