Damien’s POV

The moment Aria saw the writing on the SUV window, all the color drained from her face.

HE’S LYING TO YOU TOO.

Rainwater slid slowly through the white paint, making the words look even more disturbing beneath the underground lights.

Sophia cursed softly beside her. “Oh, this is actually insane.”

Aria stared at the message without blinking. Then quietly she asked, “Who’s lying to me?”

Nobody answered immediately. Because the truth was, I didn’t know which lie Vincent was r

    Aria’s POVEight Months Later “Damien Blackwell, if you tell me to breathe one more time, I will personally make you regret it.” My fiancé immediately raised both hands in surrender. “I was only trying to help.” I glared at him—or at least I tried to. Another contraction hit, and suddenly glaring became much less important. Pain shot through me, sharp and consuming. I grabbed Damien’s hand, hard, very hard. His face immediately twisted in discomfort. Good. Excellent. If I was suffering, he could suffer a little too. The nurses exchanged amused looks. Traitors. Every single one of them. The delivery room buzzed with activity. Doctors moved calmly, machines beeped steadily, and outside, our entire family was waiting. And by entire family, I meant everyone—Nathan, Isabella, my mother, Marcus, Adrian. People who had fought beside us, people who had loved us, people who had stayed. The same people Daniel had wanted us to have. Family. Real family. The kind built through choice, thr

  • Pregnant for my ex’s enemy    CHAPTER 106

    Aria’s POVFor a moment, I forgot how to breathe. The city lights blurred into a sea of gold behind Damien, the wind continued to blow across the rooftop, cars moved far below, the world kept turning. Yet everything felt frozen. Because Damien Blackwell was on one knee in front of me, and I had absolutely not prepared for this. Not even a little. My hand flew to my mouth. His mother’s ring glimmered beneath the rooftop lights—the same ring we had found in Daniel’s locker, the same ring his mother had worn, the same ring Damien had carried for days. My heart pounded so hard I was surprised he couldn’t hear it. Then Damien smiled, and suddenly he looked nervous. Actually nervous. The realization nearly made me laugh. This was the man who faced armed men without blinking, the man who stared down Victor Kane, the man who walked into danger as though danger owed him money. And somehow, I was what made him nervous. The thought warmed every corner of my heart. “I had a speech,” he said

  • Pregnant for my ex’s enemy    CHAPTER 105

    Aria’s POVSunlight streamed through the hospital window, warm and golden against my skin. For the first time in what felt like forever, I woke without fear. No alarms jolting me awake, no screaming echoing down the hallways, no phone calls carrying threats. Just sunlight. For several seconds, I lay still, staring at the ceiling, breathing deeply, existing in the quiet, simply living. It was strange how something as simple as peace could feel so unfamiliar. Then I felt movement, a small flutter followed by another. My hand instantly settled on my stomach, and a smile appeared before I could stop it. The twins. Good morning to you too, I thought, laughing softly. For the first time in months, my mind wasn’t occupied by Victor Kane or secrets or danger. I was thinking about my babies, my future, the life waiting ahead. A knock interrupted my thoughts. Before I could answer, the door opened and Damien walked in, holding coffee and looking annoyingly handsome. My heart immediately b

  • Pregnant for my ex’s enemy    CHAPTER 104

    Aria’s POVThe room erupted the moment Marcus finished reading the message. Arguments overlapped, voices rose, and the atmosphere fractured into chaos. Marcus immediately began issuing orders, his tone sharp and commanding. Adrian demanded additional security, his voice carrying urgency as he spoke into his phone. Nathan insisted we move everyone to another location, his pacing restless and his expression grim. The security officer relayed instructions through his radio, his words clipped and precise. Everyone was talking. Everyone was moving. Everyone except me. Because all I could hear were five words. Victor planned to kill Damien. The sentence repeated itself over and over inside my head, louder each time, more terrifying each time. Across the room, Damien looked infuriatingly calm. Annoyingly calm. As though Victor had merely sent an invitation instead of a death threat. The sight made something snap inside me. I stood, walked directly toward him, and before I could sto

  • Pregnant for my ex’s enemy    CHAPTER 103

    Aria’s POVThe room stayed quiet after Marcus spoke. It wasn’t the tense kind of quiet that came before another mystery. It was the heavy kind, the kind that followed truth. Real truth. Marcus placed the laptop on the table in Isabella’s room. Everyone was there; me, Damien, Nathan, my mother, Isabella, Adrian. For the first time, it felt less like a group of people chasing secrets and more like a family standing at the edge of something life‑changing. Because whatever Daniel had left behind, it was finally over. The searching. The guessing. The years of running. All of it. Over. Marcus looked around the room, then pressed play. The screen flickered. A familiar face appeared. Daniel Collins. My father. Older than in the photographs, younger than in my memories. Tired, but smiling. Always smiling. The sight alone made my throat tighten. Beside me, Damien shifted slightly closer. Not enough for anyone to notice. Enough for me. Enough to steady me. On the screen, my father took

  • Pregnant for my ex’s enemy    CHAPTER 102

    Aria’s POVThe scream lasted less than three seconds, but it was enough. Enough to make every person in the room freeze. Enough to send a surge of ice through my veins. Enough to turn what had felt like a night of progress into a nightmare. Damien’s face hardened instantly. “What happened?” His voice was sharp, controlled, dangerously calm, the kind of calm people used right before disaster. Static crackled through the phone. Then another scream, further away this time, followed by shouting, running footsteps, chaos. My heart dropped. Because I recognized one of the voices. My mother’s. The realization hit like a punch. Something had happened at Isabella’s room. Something bad. Very bad. Damien was already moving. The rest of us followed immediately. The box, the ring, the photograph, the flash drive, everything else became irrelevant. Nothing mattered except getting back to Isabella. Fast. The elevator felt impossibly slow. Every floor took forever. Every second stretched endl

    Adrian’s POV The silence inside my penthouse was unbearable. I stood near the floor‑to‑ceiling windows with a glass of whiskey in my hand, watching London blur beneath the rain. The city lights shimmered against wet streets, but none of it mattered. Three days. Aria had been gone for three day

  • Pregnant for my ex’s enemy    CHAPTER 19

    Aria’s POV I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, the same thought returned—pregnant. The word no longer felt shocking. It felt heavy, permanent, and real. I stared at the ceiling while weak morning light crept into the bedroom. My body was exhausted, but my mind refused to rest. Somewher

  • Pregnant for my ex’s enemy    CHAPTER 14

    Damien’s POV Aria was hiding something. I realized it the moment she walked out of the bathroom pretending everything was fine. Her face remained calm, her voice steady, but her eyes gave her away. Too distracted, too distant, like her thoughts were running somewhere she did not want anyone follow

  • Pregnant for my ex’s enemy    CHAPTER 13

    Aria’s POV The smell of coffee suddenly made me sick. I pushed the cup away and pressed my hand lightly against my stomach. Damien noticed at once. “You okay?” I nodded too quickly. “Yeah.” It was a lie, a terrible one, because nausea rolled through me so suddenly that my chest tightened pain
