Dirty Little Secret With My Stepbrother Chapter 79
MAYA'S POVThe days that followed settled into a quiet, hollow routine that felt painfully empty.Every morning, I woke up, stared at the ceiling for a few long minutes, and forced my legs to swing over the edge of the bed.I washed my face with cold water, carefully blended concealer over the dark circles carved under my eyes, and pasted on a polite, practiced smile before stepping out of my room.I went to work, talked to customers, and folded clothes as though my entire world hadn't crumbled into ash beneath my feet.Riley kept her promise with fierce, unwavering loyalty. She never uttered the word pregnant in front of anyone, not to the other boutique employees, not to customers, and certainly not to Carter.But the quiet, watchful concern in her eyes never faded for a single second. Throughout our shifts, Riley moved around me like a protective shadow.She quietly made sure I ate small, bland snacks every few hours, gently placed glasses of water within my reach, and subtly stepp

MAYA'S POVThe small white plastic test lay on the wooden coffee table between us, two crisp, unforgiving pink lines glowing like a silent sentence in the afternoon light.I spent the rest of the day simply staring at it. I couldn't look away, yet my brain refused to process the reality of what those lines meant. My life hadn't just been derailed, it had been completely, irreversibly rewritten in a single morning.Riley sat quietly beside me on the sofa, her warm hand wrapped tightly around my trembling fingers. She didn't offer empty platitudes or pretend everything was going to be fine.She just stayed present, holding me whenever another violent wave of gasping sobs tore through my chest.When the afternoon shadows began to stretch long across the floor, I finally broke the heavy silence, my voice raspy and hollow."I never thought... I never imagined my life would turn out like this," I whispered, staring blindly at the table. "I never imagined becoming a mother this way, Riley."

MAYA'S POVThe faint, unfamiliar hum of morning traffic outside Riley's apartment window was the first thing that pulled me out of sleep.The morning light filtered softly through the beige blinds, casting warm lines across the small, cozy living room. For one brief, beautiful second, a floating moment of pure oblivion, I forgot everything.I forgot the crushing weight of Killian’s cold voice, the humiliation of being blocked, the dark void in my chest, and the sterile hospital lights from yesterday.Then, I shifted on the couch to sit up, and the world tilted violently on its axis. A sharp spike of dizziness hit my head, forcing me to squeeze my eyes shut and press my palm against my forehead until the room stopped spinning.From the adjacent kitchen, the rich, buttery scent of toasted bread and frying eggs drifted into the room. Riley was already awake, humming softly to herself as she moved between the stove and the small dining counter."Look who's finally awake," Riley called out

MAYA'S POVThe faint, rhythmic beep of a heart monitor was the first thing that pulled me out of the heavy, suffocating darkness.My eyelids felt impossibly heavy as I slowly blinked them open, the sterile, harsh fluorescent lights overhead blinding me for a few brief seconds.The sharp, antiseptic scent of rubbing alcohol and bleached linens filled my nose. Where... where am I?Then, the sudden, terrifying rush of memory slammed into me: the boutique, the sudden wave of vertigo, the display table slipping from my fingers, and the floor rushing up to meet me.I turned my head slowly on the stiff white pillow. Sitting on a vinyl chair right beside the hospital bed was Carter.His expensive suit jacket was gone, his dark tie loosened at the collar, and his hands were clasped so tightly together between his knees that his knuckles were stark white.He looked completely worn down, staring blankly at the tile floor until he heard the rustle of the bedsheets. The second his eyes met mine, a

MAYA'S POVRiley's question hung in the cool air of the boutique like a physical drop in temperature.My heart did a strange, violent flip in my chest. A breathy, defensive laugh escaped my lips before I could stop it. "Riley, what are you even talking about?" I said quickly, pulling my arm away from the counter and fixing my handbag strap."You know how insane the last few weeks have been for me. I haven't been sleeping, I haven't been eating properly... severe emotional stress can delay a person's cycle for weeks. It's completely normal."Riley didn't push. She didn't argue or try to back me into a corner. But the quiet, heavy concern etched across her face didn't fade for a single second. "I know, Maya," she murmured softly, her eyes searching mine with gentle caution. "I just... I care about you. That's all."I brushed it off, changing the subject to tomorrow's shipment, but the question lodged itself deep in my mind like a jagged thorn.Throughout the drive back to the Yates esta

MAYA'S POVThe following morning, I woke up feeling significantly worse than the night before. My limbs felt heavy, like lead weights tied to my ankles, and a dull, thumping ache throbbed behind my eyes.I sat on the edge of my bed for a long moment, staring blankly at the floorboards while my stomach swayed uncertainly.I blamed it entirely on the tears. I had spent hours crying into my pillow until my throat was dry and raw, convincing myself that the sheer physical weight of heartbreak was finally catching up to me.Grief had to manifest somewhere, and my body was simply bearing the brunt of my shattered spirit.Even so, I forced myself out of bed. I washed my face with freezing water, carefully applied concealer over the dark shadows under my eyes, and dressed for the day.I had made a firm promise to Carter yesterday that I would stop shutting myself away in the dark, and I was determined not to disappoint him or make him worry more than he already did.The moment I pushed open t
