Sarah’s POV

The phone kept ringing, the screen flashing Austin’s name over and over again.

I stared at it, my thumb hovering near the green icon, but something inside me recoiled.

I didn’t want to hear his voice.

Kyle stood by the foot of my bed, his eyes following my every hesitation. “Aren’t you going to answer that?” he asked gently.

I shook my head, my throat tight. “No,” I said. “I don’t want to talk to him.”

His brows furrowed. “But… he’s your husband. He must be worried about you.”

I let out a bitter laugh that sounded more like a broken sigh. “Austin doesn’t worry about anyone except himself.”

Kyle seemed taken aback by the sharpness in my voice. He hesitated for a second, then said softly, “I see… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to pry.”

I sighed, leaning back against the pillow. “It’s fine. You didn’t know.”

Silence hung in the air for a moment, broken only by the faint hum of machines nearby.

The phone continued to vibrate on the nightstand. Kyle finally said, “I

  • Scars of the Billionaire's Bride   Chapter 6:- The Truth

    Sarah’s POVFor a long second, the room was silent—so quiet I could hear the rhythmic beep of the monitor behind me.Richard’s expression was unreadable, his eyes dark with disbelief“That’s not possible,” he said finally, his voice sharp, almost defensive. “You didn’t—you couldn’t have gotten pregnant. We used a condom.”I blinked at him, startled that he remembered that much detail. “On the first round, yes,” I said, my voice low but steady. “But on the second…” I met his gaze. “You didn’t.”The words hung between us like a live wire. He stared at me as though I’d just told him gravity stopped working. His throat moved as he swallowed hard, and I could almost see the panic flicker in his eyes.He opened his mouth, ready to say something, maybe deny it, maybe defend himself, but the door creaked open.Doctor Kyle stepped in with his usual bright smile. “What condom?” he asked cheerfully, like someone joining the middle of an interesting conversation.I froze. My lips parted, but no

  • Scars of the Billionaire's Bride   Chapter 5:- Fully Awake

    Sarah's POVThe world came back to me in fragments, bright white lights, the rhythmic beep of a monitor. My eyelids felt heavy, glued together by exhaustion, but I forced them open. The blur slowly cleared into a man’s smiling face.“Welcome back to the land of the living,” he said warmly. “We thought we lost you there for a moment.”His tone was calm, almost cheerful, but my mind immediately flashed to Anita. Panic surged. “Where’s my friend? Anita—where is she?” I tried to sit up, but a firm hand pressed me back down.“Easy,” he said softly. “Anita’s fine. You’re the one we were worried about.”I exhaled shakily, relief washing through me so fast it made my head spin. “What… what’s wrong with me?”He smiled again, that professional kind of smile doctors wear when they’re trying to keep you calm. “Something serious, but we’ve handled it. You’re safe now.”His name tag caught my eye — Doctor Kyle. “Thank you, Doctor Kyle,” I murmured.“You’re welcome,” he said, his

    Richard’s POVLucy’s voice echoed across the small restaurant table, clear, deliberate, and impossible to ignore.“I’m pregnant, Richard," she said, her tone soft.The glass slipped from my hand just as the water went down the wrong way, and I choked mid-sip.For a second, I only stared at her. Then a short laugh escaped before I could stop it, sharp, incredulous, cutting through the quiet hum of the restaurant.“I’m sorry,” I said, dabbing at my chin with a napkin. “You said what now?”Her expression didn’t change. Only her jaw tightened, and her eyes burned with the kind of restrained anger I used to find fascinating. “You heard me, Richard. I’m pregnant.”This time I laughed harder. People turned their heads; I didn’t care. The sound tasted bitter on my tongue. “That’s cute, Lucy. Really. Is this why you asked to see me? To tell me another one of your fairy tales?”Her lips trembled, just a little. “I came here because you deserve to know.”“I deserve peace,” I

  • Scars of the Billionaire's Bride   Chapter 3:- Bitter Confrontation

    Sarah’s POVFor a long, frozen moment, I couldn’t move.It was as if the world had blurred around me, and only that image, Austin’s hand curled possessively around Miriam’s waist, stayed sharp and cruel.My breath came out in a shaky exhale I couldn’t hold back.Anita’s body went rigid beside me. I could feel the fury radiating off her like heat, but I still couldn’t speak. My tongue felt like lead.Miriam’s voice broke through the silence. “Anita! I didn’t know you were coming to my house.” She smiled, walking closer, completely oblivious to the tension suffocating the air. “I said I’d catch up later—”The sound came first, a crack that cut through the room like a whip.Anita’s hand had connected with Miriam’s cheek so hard that even I flinched.The entire room stilled.Miriam’s head snapped to the side, her hair falling across her face. For a second, she didn’t even move.Austin didn’t blink. His gaze was on me, steady, sharp, and dangerous. Not even the sight of

    Sarah's POVAnita leaned toward me, eyes sharp. “Who’s calling?”I swallowed hard, the phone trembling in my palm. “Austin,” I whispered.Her jaw tightened. “Pick it.”“What?” My voice broke. “Anita, I can’t—”“Pick. It. Sarah,” she said firmly. “Don’t let him think you’re scared.”My fingers felt numb as I swiped the screen. “H-hello?”His voice came through like gravel, thick and deep. “Where the hell are you, you stupid bitch?”The sound of him sent a chill down my spine. My throat closed up. “I—I’m just—”“Don’t you dare stutter, Sarah! Do you know who you’re talking to?” His tone was laced with venom.My hand trembled. Before I could form a word, Anita snatched the phone from me. “You listen here, you miserable coward,” she said, her voice cold and clear. “You’re done. By the time we’re finished, you’ll regret ever laying a finger on her.”The phone was on loudspeaker, so every word rang through the small reception area. A few officers nearby turned to lo
