DOMINIC'S POV

"So we're not tracking her," Jorah said slowly, glancing at me through the rearview mirror as we sat parked outside my building, "but we are calling hospitals to ask about her schedule." He said it even slowly, like he was spelling out the key words.

"It's not the same thing." I said flatly, ignoring his sounds

"It's exactly the same thing."

    DOMINIC'S POV"So we're not tracking her," Jorah said slowly, glancing at me through the rearview mirror as we sat parked outside my building, "but we are calling hospitals to ask about her schedule." He said it even slowly, like he was spelling out the key words."It's not the same thing." I said flatly, ignoring his sounds"It's exactly the same thing.""I don't want to scare her," I said, more sharply than I intended, staring down at my phone like it might offer a better solution than the one I'd already settled on. "If she finds out I've had someone watching her calendar, she'll shut me out completely.""And what exactly do you call this?"I didn't answer. Because I actually don't know what to call it. But I know it was different from my earlier means that didn't work out.Jorah exhaled through his nose, clearly biting back whatever else he wanted to say, and turned back to face the windshield. "Alright. Call the hospital, then. See how far manners get you."I ignored the sarcasm

  • Pregnant for My Ex’s Ruthless Boss   I'm getting the baby out tomorrow!

    ARIA'S POVThe car was silent except for the low hum of the engine, my hands still trembling faintly in my lap and my heart still racing even long after Ryan's face had disappeared from the rearview mirror.He knew now. There was no walking that back, no controlling the narrative once it left his mouth in the middle of a public sidewalk. Which meant the clock I'd been quietly racing against had just run out.I pressed my palm flat against my stomach, the same instinctive motion I kept trying to stop myself from making, and closed my eyes. Despite how much I desperately wanted a family, wanted to have a companion and a child of my own, this timing was wrong.Tomorrow.I made the decision somewhere between one traffic light and the next, quiet and absolute. Not today; I didn't have the strength left in me today, not after Ryan, not after the fall, not after Marsh's meeting and the nausea and the exhaustion sitting so heavy in my bones I could barely keep my spine straight against the se

  • Pregnant for My Ex’s Ruthless Boss   Is the child truly yours?

    DOMINIC'S POVThe car door had barely shut behind me before Jorah spoke."You look like someone told you the stock market collapsed," he commented, glancing at me through the rearview mirror.I didn't answer immediately; I just sat, staring down at the paperwork in my hands like I could understand the terminologies used in it. The nurse's voice kept looping in my head, her bright smile and a "congratulations"—I guess that's how they give news to all couples, except I'm not a couple; the woman in question doesn't even want to see me.The word “congratulations” cracked open something in my chest I thought I’d sealed shut years ago. Years of expecting this same news with Selena; it was obvious that none of us was the issue—just that the pregnancy either never happened or was simply miscarried."Sir?" Jorah's voice sounded again, snapping me out of the blurry trance I had just gone through."She's pregnant," I said finally.Jorah's hands stilled on the wheel. He turned slightly, studying

  • Pregnant for My Ex’s Ruthless Boss   If not my child then who's is it?

    ARIA POVI went very still.A few passersby glanced over, drawn by the sudden shift in his volume, and I felt heat crawl up my neck, humiliation and panic tangling together until I could barely breathe."Get in the car," I told the bodyguard sharply, refusing to look at Ryan, refusing to give him the satisfaction of seeing my face confirm what his voice already had.But Ryan let out a short, disbelieving laugh, dragging a hand through his hair. "You're actually pregnant." He said it again, like he was testing the shape of the words. Then his expression hardened, twisting into something colder. "With his kid. The stranger's kid.""That's none of your business," I snapped, finally finding my footing enough to stand fully, though my legs still felt unsteady beneath me."None of my business?" His voice rose, sharp and incredulous. "I was going to marry you, Aria. I was going to build a life with you. And you're carrying some nameless man's child like it means nothing?""You cheated on me,

  • Pregnant for My Ex’s Ruthless Boss   You are pregnant

    ARIA'S POVMarsh's smile finally slipped."With immediate effect," he repeated slowly, like the words tasted foreign in his mouth. "Miss Cole, respectfully, you don't have the operational knowledge to unwind contracts this size overnight. Suppliers will walk. Production will stall. You'll be blamed for the very instability you're trying to fix.""I'm aware of the risk.""Are you?" His voice sharpened, the practiced deference finally cracking. "Because from where I'm sitting, this looks less like leadership and more like a woman punishing an entire department for her broken engagement."The room went utterly still. A couple of the men behind him shifted uncomfortably, clearly wishing they were anywhere else.I held his gaze, forcing my voice to stay level even as my stomach twisted, half from nerves, half from the nausea I couldn't shake. "This has nothing to do with my engagement, Mr. Marsh. It has everything to do with contracts that have been quietly bleeding this company dry for ye

  • Pregnant for My Ex’s Ruthless Boss   I know about your affairs

    ARIA'S POVThree days later.The alarm blared for the third time before I finally reached over and silenced it, my hand trembling slightly against the nightstand.I lay there for a moment, staring at Claire's spare room ceiling, willing myself to move. My stomach churned, the same dull nausea that had greeted me every morning since the hospital, and I swallowed hard against the urge to retch.The nightmare still clung to me, thick and suffocating. Rain. The screech of tires. My mother's hand slipping from mine, cold and limp. I'd relived it every night this week, waking up gasping, drenched in sweat, reaching instinctively for a hand that was never there.I pressed the heel of my palm against my eyes, willing the images to fade.Slowly, I sat up, my other hand drifting to my stomach before I even registered the motion.I stared down at it.I didn't want this. Not the flutter of instinct that made my palm rest there so gently, not the way some small, foolish part of me had already star

    DOMINIC’S POVAria stood before me in nothing but lace panties and heels, her skin glowing under the low golden light.

    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.
