The next day dragged in that special way only corporate days know how to drag.

Half the staff looked half-dead by noon, and by four-thirty we were already in crisis mode because one of our manuscripts had leaked online. Cue emergency meeting, frantic damage control, and a boardroom full of people trying to look awake.

By five-thirty, my brain felt like warm oatmeal.

Everyone else looked the same.

Except Alexander.

Of course.

He sat at the head of the table, posture perfect, face unreadable, fli

  • Pregnant by my Ex-Boyfriend’s Father   The End

    Aria POV I remember the sound before the pain. Alex calling from downstairs. “Aria, are you not coming for dinner?” His voice carried warmth, the kind that always made something inside my chest soften. I smiled, one hand resting on my stomach, the other gripping the banister as I made my way down the stairs carefully. Nine months. Heavy. Slow. Careful. I had only gone upstairs to get my shawl. That was all. My foot slipped. Just a small mistake. A single moment. Then the world tilted. The banister vanished from my fingers. My body lurched forward and suddenly I was falling: tumbling, rolling, crashing against hard steps that knocked the air from my lungs. Pain exploded through my abdomen. Something warm spread beneath me. Blood. So much blood. I could not breathe. I could not think. My trembling hands moved instinctively to my stomach. “My baby…” The whisper barely left my lips. Footsteps thundered. “Aria!” Alex’s voice broke — sharp, terrified. He reached me,

  • Pregnant by my Ex-Boyfriend’s Father   Fall

    Aria POVWhen the news broke, my father’s stock crashed by thirty percent. Thirty. The number replayed everywhere: financial channels, social media, investors panicking, analysts shouting. It was not enough to destroy him. But it was enough to wound him. Enough to slow him. Enough to buy Alex time. Enough to make the empire tremble. For the first time in my life, my father bled. And while the world watched numbers fall, I stayed beside the man fighting for breath. The First Five Days The hospital became my world. I woke there. Ate there. Cried there. Every morning I cleaned his bedside table myself even though nurses had already done it. I wiped invisible dust. Rearranged flowers. Changed the water. Straightened the sheets that never moved. Anything to feel useful. Anything to feel close to him. I talked to him constantly. About everything. About the weather. About the scandal. About the chaos outside. About how quiet his office felt without him. I told him thi

  • Pregnant by my Ex-Boyfriend’s Father   Backstory

    Aria POVA lil backstory.Before everything collapsed… before the scandal, before the hospital, before the fear, there was something about power I had always understood.Because I was born into it.I knew how men like Alex worked.I knew what wealth did to people.I knew the imbalance that came when one person held everything and the other held nothing.I understood it because my father was the same kind of man.No.Worse.My father, Richard, was a conglomerate king.A man whose wealth shaped governments.A man who believed money was the only law that mattered.A man who never accepted loss.Alex was powerful.But my father built power out of destruction.And I had spent my whole life running from him.Before I met Alex, I had already abandoned everything.The luxury.The cars.The inheritance waiting in my name.I refused his money.Stopped using his cards.Left the city he ruled.I chose to struggle rather than belong to him.People thought I was foolish.They never knew the truth.

  • Pregnant by my Ex-Boyfriend’s Father   Waiting

    Aria POV Waiting is the cruelest kind of torture. The hospital corridor stretched endlessly before me, silent except for distant footsteps and the mechanical beeping behind closed doors. Time moved differently here. Slower. Heavier. Every second dragged like a punishment. So I did the only thing my mind allowed. I remembered. Memories came in fragments. The day I deliberately twisted my ankle in the office just to make him notice me. The sharp gasp. The dramatic fall. And the way he said focus on your job and stop trying to seduce me.Someone who was already in love with me already.Lols.The way he lose control whenever I am involved in any situation. I had never seen him lose control like that with anyone else. I remembered the tension between us in empty hallways. The charged silence. The way his gaze lingered longer than it should. The way he spoke to everyone else with cold authority… Yet softened when he spoke to me. The way he protected me. Defended me. Spoile

  • Pregnant by my Ex-Boyfriend’s Father   If he died…

    Aria POVI don’t remember grabbing my hoodie.One moment I was staring at the screen.The next, my hands were moving on their own.I pulled the hood over my hair.A mask.Sunglasses.Anything to hide a face the world suddenly recognized.My fingers trembled so badly I could barely dial his assistant’s number.“Where is he?” My voice cracked before the call even connected. “Where is Alexander? Tell me where he is. Where is my—” I stopped, breath shaking. “Where is he?”The answer came quickly.Hospital.Then he said I’d send you the address, it’s a classified information.That was all I needed.I hadn’t driven in weeks.The car smelled stale, untouched, like a forgotten life waiting for me to return.The engine roared too loudly in the quiet estate.Security guards watched as I sped past the gates. I didn’t care who recognized me. I didn’t care who filmed me.The world could burn.I just needed to reach him.Traffic stretched endlessly before me.Every red light felt like a personal cr

  • Pregnant by my Ex-Boyfriend’s Father   Deactivated

    Aria POVLater that day.I switched on my phone and I did the only thing that felt possible.I deactivated everything.Instagram first. Then Twitter. Then every platform where my face existed, where my name could be spoken without my permission. One by one, accounts disappeared. Profiles vanished. History erased.I uninstalled the apps.The silence afterward felt violent.For the first time in years, the world could not reach me.And for the first time in years, I had no excuse to avoid myself.Without the noise, there was only truth.It came slowly at first.Then all at once.I began replaying everything.Meeting Ethan.The curiosity.The attraction.The mistake.Then his father.The first time had been chaos, confusion, anger, vulnerability tangled into something neither of us had named.The second time had not been a mistake.The second time had been consent.Clear. Conscious. Deliberate.I had chosen it.I had chosen him.Now I carried his child.A soft movement stirred beneath my

    The moment he said it, something in me snapped. “So this is what we are now,” Alexander asked quietly, like he already knew the answer but wanted to torture himself with the sound of it. I folded my arms. “What should we be?” He looked down at his hands, exhaled, then met my eyes again. “Aria

    The moment I saw him, something in the air shifted—wrong, heavy, familiar in a way I did not want. So I ignored him and kept walking, dragging my suitcase behind me like it was the last piece of my dignity.“Aria,” he called. Not loud, not soft. Just certain. “I’m here for you.”I didn’t stop. “For

    He stood, collected his pen like a man gathering small truths.“If you come to my office to discuss personal matters, your appointment will be terminated. Understood?”Cold. Controlled. Final.I walked away with my eyes burning. I hid the tears until I reached my chair.I sat at my workstation. The
