RIGHTFULLY MINE Walking into something deeper
ZOE’S POV“Austin” I said catching his attention. Owen and I had been invited to meet with a group of local business owners last minute. I wasn’t expecting to see Austin here of all places.He was standing at the back of the room his face looked worn and his eyes darker beneath. It was more than just tiredness. It was something deeper. The meeting had just ended and I walked straight to him.He looked back when he heard me call his name and his eyes met mine. “Chloe” he said with a nod and his voice weary.“How is Zoe?” I asked, already bracing myself.“She’s… recovering” he replied hands tucked into his pockets. “Still unconscious but stable now. Out of danger. The doctor said we made the right call. They had to terminate the pregnancy immediately to save her.”My breath caught. I nodded slowly. “I’m glad she’s okay. That's the most important thing.”Austin met my eyes and there was a quiet moment between us.“Thank you Chloe,” he said quietly. “For telling me. For stepping in when
RIGHTFULLY MINE Slow. Silent tears.
AUSTIN’S POV I couldn’t sit. Couldn’t breathe. I had been pacing back and forth since we arrived and still, the door to the operating room remained shut.Every second Zoe was in there, unconscious, felt like a silent scream in my chest. The door finally creaked open. A doctor stepped out, her face lined with exhaustion and gravity.“Mr. Perkins?” she asked softly.I walked toward her pushing back my fear. “How is she?”The doctor exhaled. “We’re doing all we can. But her life is in danger. The ectopic pregnancy has ruptured. There’s internal bleeding.”I felt nervous looking at her. My body went cold.“You have to make a decision right now,” she said. “We need to remove the pregnancy immediately. If we don’t, we may not be able to save her.”I didn’t even think. “Do it” I said. “Do whatever it takes. Save her. Just—save my wife.”She gave a nod and disappeared back through the swinging doors.And I stood there—paralyzed.It felt like hours. Maybe it was. Everything around me faded o
RIGHTFULLY MINE A terrifying silence
AUSTIN’S POV I sat alone at the table playing with my coffee. Chloe had called earlier saying she needed to see me to discuss something important.She didn’t say what it was about.Just, “Can we meet?”It was rare. Chloe never called me out of the blue. Especially not without business in between.So I came early. I couldn’t help it. I was shaken by her voice. Not in a panicked way. Just… Serious.I checked my watch again.Then I saw Chloe walking toward the table, her eyes scanning the room until they found me. She looked put together, but tense.“Sorry for the wait” she said taking a seat.“I actually got here a little early” I replied putting the coffee aside. “You’re not usually one to ask.”She forced a smile. That unsettled me.“You okay?” I asked, leaning forward.She sighed. “Austin… I know I might be overstepping by getting involved in what happens between you and Zoe. Especially a private matter that has to do with your marriage. I know that. But this… this is beyond that. S
RIGHTFULLY MINE An Ugly truth
ZOE’S POV “I think you might be right,” Owen said dropping an envelope on my desk. “She's been to the hospital alone. Twice.”I looked up at him slowly, then at the envelope. My heart immediately started beating faster.He added, “Photos are in there. I had him follow her yesterday and the day before. Same hospital. No driver. No Austin.”I didn’t say anything at first. Just reached for the envelope like it might burn me. It felt like the beginning of a truth I’d been dying to pull into the light.“I knew it” I whispered my fingers working quickly now, looking at the photos from inside.The first one was of Chloe coming out of the car in big sunglasses and a scarf that didn't conceal her much. She was clearly trying not to be recognized. The timestamp in the corner confirmed the visit was just yesterday morning.The next photo was even more telling—she was walking out of the hospital alone, a hand pressed to her stomach. Her face looked pale. Worn. Not the face of a glowing, joyful,
RIGHTFULLY MINE Old habits
ZOE’S POV My heels clicked softly on the floor as Owen and I stepped into Austin’s office building. It had been years but somehow everything still looked almost the same. The air felt familiar. The walls, the furniture, all of it pulled at a corner of my memory I’d sealed off long ago.We were here for a meeting with an investor, yet my heart beat faster than it should have. Maybe it was the memories, maybe it was what I knew and what Austin didn’t. Either way, I wasn’t just here to discuss business today.Owen glanced sideways at me. “You okay?”I took a moment to respond. I looked around the room, my old desk is now someone else’s. A place I once sat with dreams in my head and a secret in my heart. I felt like my old self.“Yeah,” I finally said clearing my throat. “I just didn’t think I would walk into this place again.”Before Owen could respond Austin stepped out from his private office with that wide smile that had come to feel more and more strange lately. He was beaming with
RIGHTFULLY MINE Something deeper shattered
CHLOE'S POV It had been almost a week since I told Austin I was pregnant—and I don’t think I’d ever experienced such peace. Or love. Not like this.I’ve been starting the day with breakfast in bed and waking up to the smell of pancakes or eggs. Austin handled everything—Jamie’s breakfast, his school prep, drop-offs. The moment I told him something shifted in him. He was softer and more attentive.Like this morning.He walked in with a tray containing eggs, toast, fresh fruit and a cup of tea. The tray almost fell as Jamie bounced beside him on the bed excited to kiss my belly again like he had been doing every morning now.“Here you go, darling,” Austin said placing the tray on my lap. “Now, remember, you’re not lifting a finger, okay? If you need anything at all just call one of the staff from the landline.”He sat beside me looking into my eyes like I was made of glass. “Do you remember the time for your appointment? I want to clear my schedule early so we’re not rushing.”I smiled
