Adriel

The phone buzzed once against the nightstand, low and steady.

I was sitting on the edge of the bed, halfway through buttoning my cuffs, and I knew who it was before I looked. Nobody called the private family line before sunrise except one man.

*Father.*

Beside me, Gloria had finally fallen into a deep sleep, one hand curled over her stomach, the gold band catching the first gray light through the blinds. I glanced back to make sure she hadn't stirred, then picked up the phone and stepped

  • Pregnant from a one night stand   Kapitel 36

    **Gloria**Der Ostflügel war so still, dass ich jeden meiner Schritte hören konnte, und jeder einzelne tat weh.Ein dumpfer Schmerz pochte tief in meinem Unterleib. Ich hielt einen Arm unter meinem Pullover gepresst, als könnten meine bloßen Hände das Baby vor allem beschützen, was uns auseinanderreißen wollte. Clara ging neben mir und umklammerte meinen Ellbogen mit kalten, zitternden Fingern.„Gloria, bitte setz dich", flehte sie, die Stimme dick von Tränen. „Du bist weiß wie eine Wand. Sieh dir den Schweiß in deinem Gesicht an."„Mir geht es gut, Mama", log ich mit zusammengebissenen Zähnen und stützte mich auf das Stahlgeländer an der Wand. „Nur noch ein kleines Stück."Vor uns öffnete sich der Korridor zu einem weiten Glasatrium. Ein älterer Mann in einem marineblauen Morgenmantel und Pantoffeln schlurfte langsam hindurch und schob einen Infusionsständer vor sich her. Er war blass und ein wenig gebeugt, aber er bewegte sich mit störrischer, gereizter Entschlossenheit.Plötzlich b

    **Gloria**The eastern wing was so quiet that I could hear every step I took, and every one of them hurt.A dull ache throbbed low in my stomach. I kept one arm pressed under my sweater, as if my bare hands could shield the baby from everything that was trying to tear us apart. Clara walked beside me, gripping my elbow with cold, shaking fingers."Gloria, please sit down," she begged, her voice thick with tears. "You're white as a sheet. Look at the sweat on your face.""I'm fine, Mom," I lied through gritted teeth, leaning on the steel railing along the wall. "Just a little farther."Ahead of us, the corridor opened into a wide glass atrium. An older man in a navy robe and slippers was shuffling slowly across it, pushing an IV stand ahead of him. He was pale and a little hunched, but he moved with stubborn, irritable determination.Suddenly, the wheel of his IV stand caught on the rubber strip of a fire door.The pole tipped. His slippers slid on the polished floor, and his hand flai

    **Gloria**The cold in Adriel's eyes cut deeper than any blow Marcus had ever landed."I said get away from me," he repeated. His voice was raspy and hard, with no trace of recognition in it.He didn't just look annoyed. He looked disgusted, the way a man looks at a beggar reaching for his sleeve at a red light."Adriel, please..." My voice cracked. My hands shook so badly that my ring clinked against the metal bed rail. "Look at me. Just last night, in the bedroom, you held my hand against our baby. You promised me nobody would look down on us again.""Security!" Victoria's voice cut through the room like a whip.Two uniformed hospital guards walked in, their hands resting on their belts."Remove this woman at once," Victoria said, pointing a trembling, manicured finger at me. "She's upsetting my son right after emergency surgery. She has no authorization to be here""Wait!" I reached for Adriel again. "Adriel, tell them! Tell them who I am!"He didn't look at me. His jaw was set lik

    **Gloria**I had checked the wall clock six times in ten minutes.My mother sat at the wide kitchen island with both hands wrapped around a glass of water she hadn't touched. Her eyes kept drifting to the tall windows, where gray clouds rolled slowly over the city."Gloria," she whispered, her voice unsteady. "It's too quiet. A family with this much money doesn't let things go easily."I pressed one hand against my stomach beneath my cardigan. On my other hand, the plain gold ring felt heavy and real.Adriel had stood between me and Marcus. He had faced his mother without blinking. He had called his father and claimed our child without a trace of shame.*"You're my wife now,"* he had said. *"We're in this together."*"He's handling it, Mom," I said.It was almost nine. He had left with his driver to face the board.Suddenly, the phone on the kitchen wall rang, shrill and loud.My mother jumped up, her chair scraping across the marble. I rushed over and answered."Mrs. Gloria!" It was

    AdrielThe phone buzzed once against the nightstand, low and steady.I was sitting on the edge of the bed, halfway through buttoning my cuffs, and I knew who it was before I looked. Nobody called the private family line before sunrise except one man.*Father.*Beside me, Gloria had finally fallen into a deep sleep, one hand curled over her stomach, the gold band catching the first gray light through the blinds. I glanced back to make sure she hadn't stirred, then picked up the phone and stepped out onto the terrace, sliding the glass door shut behind me.The morning air was cold and sharp over the city skyline. I answered and raised the phone to my ear."Father."A heavy, measured breath came through the receiver, along with the faint beep of a heart monitor in the background.*"Your mother has been pacing my recovery room since four in the morning, Adriel,"* my father said. His voice was gravelly and quiet, but steady. *"Selena has been crying in the armchair, saying you've lost your

    The penthouse doors sealed shut, locking out the sirens, the threats, and the screaming.Dr. Harrison adjusted the IV drip, checked the baby's heartbeat one last time on the portable monitor, and packed up his equipment."Her vitals have stabilized, Adriel," he said quietly, so Clara wouldn't hear and panic. "The baby's heart rate is still strong. But I can't stress this enough: complete bed rest. No stairs, no stress. If her blood pressure spikes like it did earlier, the placenta could tear.""She won't leave this bed," I said.The doctor nodded, gave Gloria a polite nod, and followed Clara down the hall toward the guest suite.Then the bedroom went completely quiet.I went into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and held my hands under the cold water. The white sink turned pink with dried blood and plaster dust. The skin over my knuckles was split and swollen, throbbing with a dull ache.I washed the grit from my face, peeled off my ruined shirt, and threw it into the hamper.When I c
