Aria’s POV

The alarm didn’t just ring. It screamed. A sharp, relentless sound tore through the safe house, making everyone in the room jump. The television screen had barely gone dark, my father’s final word still echoing inside my head. Run.

Before I could process anything, Marcus was already moving. His chair scraped against the floor as he grabbed his phone. “Perimeter breach.”

The words hit the room like a punch. Damien was on his feet immediately. The softness that had been there momen

  • Pregnant for my ex’s enemy    CHAPTER 107 

    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

    Aria’s POVDamien came downstairs looking different. Not physically, but there was something heavier in his expression now. More controlled. More careful. The second I saw Marcus holding a folded piece of paper behind him, unease curled sharply through me. “What is that?” Neither of them answer

    Damien’s POVAria answered the call on the second ring. “Mom?” Her voice carried too much fear already. I watched the color drain from her face further as she listened. Then suddenly she whispered, “What do you mean someone was inside?” Marcus moved instantly toward the door. I grabbed my key

  • Pregnant for my ex’s enemy    CHAPTER 61

    Aria’s POV“No.” The word left me automatically, quiet and shaking. I stared at the photograph in my hands while my mind desperately tried to reject what my eyes already understood. Vincent stood beside my father outside the charity gala entrance the night he died. The timestamp glowed clearly

  • Pregnant for my ex’s enemy    CHAPTER 60

    Aria’s POVThe newsroom replayed Adrian Vale’s announcement every fifteen minutes. I knew because Sophia muted the television three separate times, and each time another channel somehow brought it back again. “Enough,” she snapped finally, throwing a pillow at the screen. “The man already broke e
