SOLD TO AUGUST CHILDE FIFTY
AUGUST“Are you mad?”The words came out sharper than I intended, but I didn’t take them back.Camilla’s head snapped up instantly, her eyes blazing through tears that hadn’t fully dried.“Excuse me?”I leaned forward slightly, my jaw tight, my pulse uneven in a way I hated. “Did you hear what you just said?”“I heard myself perfectly,” she shot back. “Maybe you didn’t.”“You want to get rid of my child and you expect me to just sit here and nod?”Her laugh was dry. Bitter. It scraped against my nerves.“Your child?” she repeated. “That’s funny.”My eyes narrowed.“What is that supposed to mean?”“It means,” she said, pushing herself to stand, her voice rising, “that this is not some business deal you can walk into and claim ownership of.”I stood up too, the space between us shrinking instantly.“It’s not just about you either.”“It is about me,” she snapped, pressing a hand to her chest. “It’s my body. My life. My future.”“And that baby is my blood,” I fired back.Her expression ha

CAMILLAI wasn’t expecting to see him again thIS night.Not after the way he had acted at the hospital. Not after the silence in the car. Not after he dropped me off like I was just another responsibility he needed to check off before moving on with his life.So when the door opened and I saw him standing there, holding flowers like this was normal, like any of this was normal, my breath caught in my throat.For a second, I just stared at him.August.Tall. Controlled. Composed.Like he hadn’t just shattered my world without even trying.Ama shifted beside me, her arms still loosely wrapped around me. I felt her glance between us before she cleared her throat softly.“I’ll… give you both a moment,” she said gently.I didn’t stop her.I couldn’t.She slipped out of the room quietly, closing the door behind her, leaving just the two of us in the heavy silence.I forced myself to stand immediately, my body moving before my mind could catch up.I didn’t know why.Maybe it felt wrong to be

CAMILLAThe water kept running long after I stopped feeling it.It poured over my head, soaked through my clothes, and clung to my skin like it was trying to hold me together. But nothing could. Not right now.I sat on the shower floor with my knees pulled to my chest, my back pressed against the cold tiles, my fingers gripping the fabric of my shirt like it was the only thing keeping me from falling apart completely.I had finally done it.A bitter laugh broke out of me, but it didn’t sound like laughter. It sounded broken. Hollow.Pregnant.The word echoed in my head again, louder this time. Sharper.Pregnant for a man who did not love me.Pregnant for a man who was already promised to someone else.Pregnant for a man whose life was already planned out without me in it.My chest tightened painfully.My life was over.The thought came quietly at first, then louder, until it filled my entire head.Over and over again.I buried my face in my hands, my shoulders shaking as the tears cam

AUGUSTI stepped out of the car slowly, my eyes fixed on her.My mother.She stood there like she owned the air I was breathing, her posture stiff, her expression already set in disappointment before I even said a word.For a second, neither of us spoke.Then I shut the car door and faced her fully.“I don’t know what else you were expecting me to say,” I said calmly. “You heard what you heard.”The sound of her hand connecting with my face came fast and sharp.Damn! That was one hard slap.I didn’t move or react, and that amde her angry.The sting spread across my cheek, but it barely registered compared to the tension already building inside me.“You are an embarrassment,” she snapped.Her voice carried the kind of anger that didn’t need to be loud to cut deep. This was not the first time she would call me an embarrassment, so it did not move me.I turned my head slightly back to face her, jaw tight.“I’m not sorry.”Her eyes widened just a fraction.Not because she expected an apol

AUGUSTI stood outside the hospital room for several minutes before the nurse finally told me I could go in.Those minutes felt longer than they should have.Hospitals had a way of doing that. The air always smelled too clean. Too sterile. Every second stretched out while your mind filled the silence with every possible worst case scenario.My fingers tapped slowly against my thigh as I waited. My mind kept replaying the moment Camilla had doubled over in the bathroom that morning. The sound she made when she threw up. The way her body had trembled.I had seen people sick before. I had dealt with worse situations in business, in life, in every possible way.But that moment had unsettled me.Because it was her.When the nurse finally nodded and said I could go in, I pushed the door open immediately.Camilla stood near the hospital bed, pulling on her jacket as if nothing had happened.She looked better already.Color had returned to her face. Her posture was steady again. The stubborn

CAMILAI woke up feeling strange.Not the normal kind of strange that came from sleeping in a bed too big for me or waking up in a house that still did not feel like mine. This was different.My head felt light.The room spun slightly when I opened my eyes.For a moment, I stayed still, staring at the ceiling and hoping the feeling would pass.It didn’t.Instead, the dizziness got worse.I pushed myself up slowly, pressing a hand against my forehead. The sunlight streaming through the curtains felt too bright, and my stomach twisted uncomfortably.Something was wrong.Beside me, August shifted slightly in his sleep. One of his arms had been draped loosely around my waist, warm and heavy, like he placed it there without thinking sometime during the night.Normally, I would freeze when he touched me like that.Normally my heart would start beating like a drum.But right now I just felt sick.Really sick.My stomach lurched violently.“Oh no,” I whispered.I pushed his arm off me quickly
