Pregnant for My Ex’s Ruthless Boss What is he planning?
ARIA'S POVClaire left not long after, taking the empty food containers with her and threatening, only half-joking, to check in on me again tomorrow if I didn't reply to her texts.I'd barely settled back into the last of my paperwork when Tyler knocked, tablet in hand, that particular expression on his face that usually meant something I wasn't going to like."What now," I said, setting my pen down."Ryan," he said simply. "Security spotted him near the coffee shop across the street a while ago. He hasn't approached the building, hasn't done anything actionable enough to remove him. But he's still out there."I exhaled slowly, pressing my fingers against my temples. "He knows he's blocked. He knows security's under strict orders not to let him near the entrance.""He does. Which is probably why he's just... waiting instead.""For what?""I don't know." Tyler hesitated. "Do you want an escort when you leave tonight?"I considered it, exhaustion and irritation tangling together. "No. I
Pregnant for My Ex’s Ruthless Boss Tell him to fuck off
DOMINIC'S POVThe taste of her was still on my mouth when I left her office, and I hated how deliberately I had to work to stop thinking about it.I'd meant the kiss as strategy. Somewhere between her jaw in my hand and the sound of her breath catching, it had stopped being that. She'd gone quiet afterward, the kind of quiet I recognized too well from years of reading rooms for a living. Not desire. Retreat.I'd overstepped. Whatever this marriage actually was, I'd promised her distance, and I'd broken that promise in front of a boardroom full of investors who now had exactly the photos they needed.Fine. The photos had worked. That would have to be enough."The leak," I said to Jorah once we were in the car. "I want it found today, not eventually.""I've been cross-referencing staff schedules against the timing of the article," he said, pulling up a file on the tablet between us. "Whoever fed that reporter details about the separate wings had to be inside the house sometime yesterday
Pregnant for My Ex’s Ruthless Boss Kiss on camera
ARIA'S POVAfter a lot of calls, I was able to bring down the post, privately investigating the company that published it.I went back to my work as if nothing had happened. After several hours of cross-checking Dominic's work, I was satisfied and decided to take a break when the door opened without a knock.Dominic.He shut the door behind him gently, his eyes finding mine. He walked across the room in a few strides, his phone in his hands and his jaw set in a way that told me he must have seen the news."You came," I said, though it came out more surprised than I intended."Of course I came." He set his phone down on my desk, the article still glowing on the screen. "This isn't just embarrassing. It's dangerous. If the board believes this marriage is a farce, every ounce of stability we bought Thursday disappears overnight.""I know that.""The investors who came back," he continued, pacing slightly now, restless energy radiating off him in a way I hadn't seen since the hospital hal
Pregnant for My Ex’s Ruthless Boss Another headline
ARIA'S POVThe car ride to the clinic was quiet, the same careful, practiced silence that had become the default language between us over the past week.I stared out the window, watching the city blur past, and reminded myself for the hundredth time that this was fine. This was the arrangement. Distance wasn't cruelty, it was simply the shape of what we'd agreed to. While acting even more lovey dovey in the house.I really wanted to move back to my place but Granny insisted I stay for a week. I really enjoyed my stay, but I can't deny I missed the office even more. Dominic was forced to take charge briefly till I was “permitted” to go out.The pregnancy is seven weeks already. The thought still felt strange every time I let myself sit with it — a whole person, small and stubborn, growing steadily inside me despite everything trying to derail it. Ryan. The headlines. The collapse in the lobby. Whatever fear had gripped me that morning in the car with Dominic, whispering something's wron

VANESSA'S POVI found her by accident, or at least that's what I would have said if anyone asked.The east wing was quiet by the time I wandered down that corridor, most of the family having retreated to their respective corners of the estate after lunch, the forced cheerfulness of the day finally allowed to drop from everyone's faces. I told myself I was simply looking for a book I'd left in the library weeks ago.The truth was closer to curiosity. I wanted to see it for myself, whatever it actually was.The door to Aria's room stood slightly ajar, and I slowed without quite deciding to, some old, familiar instinct keeping me silent as I approached.She was asleep on the chaise near the window, curled slightly on her side, exhaustion still evident even in rest. And Dominic sat beside her, close enough that his knee nearly touched the cushion, a light throw blanket held loosely i
Pregnant for My Ex’s Ruthless Boss Marriage of convenience
RYAN'S POVThe photo came through at 6:47 in the morning, and I stared at it for a full ten minutes before I trusted myself to react.Aria Cole. Standing outside some anonymous courthouse in a pale blue dress, hand in hand with Dominic Ashford, both of them wearing matching gold bands that caught the morning light just right for whichever paparazzi had gotten close enough to catch it.Married.I set my phone face-down on the marble counter and poured myself a drink I had no business having before eight in the morning, watching the amber liquid catch the light the same way that ring had.She actually did it.I laughed, short and humorless, the sound bouncing off the empty walls of my penthouse — a penthouse I could barely afford anymore, filled with furniture I'd bought to impress a woman who apparently preferred a man who could shut down entire hospital wings on a whim.I wasn't jealous. That was important to establish, even to myself. Jealousy was for men who'd lost something worth h
Pregnant for My Ex’s Ruthless Boss CHAPTER FOUR
DOMINIC’S POVShe broke the kiss almost immediately—brief and teasing. The taste of her lingered on my tongue, sour like the whiskey she'd both been drinking. I wanted to pull her back in, to finish the fire she started, but that mischievous smile stopped me cold. She knew exactly what she was doi
Pregnant for My Ex’s Ruthless Boss CHAPTER THREE
DOMINIC'S POV“The VIP section you reserved is currently occupied, and there is no vacant section,” the hostess walking behind me hurriedly explains.I know I came out of the blue, without my usual reservation. But I didn't prepare for no room at all.I kept walking, remnants of annoyance starting

ARIA’S POVSilence swallowed the entire hall. For a heartbeat, no one moved. Not even Ryan.The words hung in the air like a guillotine.Then just like that, the words traveled through the room twice before they could register in people’s brains. Whispers erupted—first confusion, then shock, then
Pregnant for My Ex’s Ruthless Boss CHAPTER ONE
ARIA’S POV I can't find him anywhere. I've searched the entire mansion, through the grand halls, the glittering ballroom, even the gardens where fairy lights twinkled like false promises.Now I'm heading to the third floor, my heels sinking into the thick carpets that line these quieter corridors
