He swore I was his forever, but he stood at that altar, put a ring on another woman’s finger, and left me pregnant like I was nothing, and our baby meant nothing. I was twenty. Young, stupid, and poor enough to think love could win against his family. It couldn’t. They crushed me, and Sebastian let them. So I ran and buried the crying, broken girl who loved him and turned myself into someone colder, harder, someone who doesn’t break so easily anymore. Now I’m back after five years. Successful, untouchable, and ready to hurt him the way he hurt me. He looks at me like he’s seeing a ghost, eyes full of regret, telling me he never stopped loving me, that he wants me back… and that he wants his daughter. Too bad because sorry doesn’t fix the nights I cried alone. The only thing I want from Sebastian Hale now is revenge.

CHAPTER 1: THE NAME ON THE WALL
NAOMI POV:
I should’ve turned around the second those elevator doors opened.“HALE INDUSTRIES.” The name hit me like a punch to the gut, carved big and arrogant into that white marble. Sixteen years of trying to forget him, and there it was, staring me right in the face like it still owned me. My stomach twisted. For a second I couldn’t breathe. I almost hit the button to go back down, but I didn’t. I stepped out instead, heels clicking on the cold floor, heart hammering so hard I could feel it in my throat. “You’re here for the contract,” I kept telling myself. “Just the contract. You’re not that scared, pregnant girl anymore.” The receptionist gave me a polite smile. “Ms. Reed? They’re ready for you.” I followed the coordinator down the hallway, palms sweaty, mouth dry. Every step felt heavier. He was in there, I could already feel it in the air. The door opened, he was standing at the window, back to me, shoulders tense like the whole city pissed him off. The second the door shut behind me, he turned around. Grey eyes. The same ones I see every morning when my daughter looks at me. Everything inside me just… stopped. My chest squeezed so tight I forgot how to breathe. He looked older, sharper, with silver starting at his temples now. His gaze locked on mine and didn’t let go. For a long, painful second, neither of us said anything. I forced myself to move. I walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down like my legs weren’t shaking. I opened my folder, looked straight at the events coordinator instead of him. “Let’s start with the budget,” I said, my voice surprisingly steady. The whole meeting felt like walking on broken glass. I talked about vendors, timelines, and venue capacity while my skin buzzed and my stomach kept flipping. Sebastian barely spoke. He just sat there watching me, quiet in a way he never used to be. His eyes kept coming back to my hands every time I folded the corner of the page without thinking. That stupid old habit. I felt his stare like a touch. Memories tried to push their way in, the little café on Renner Street, his laugh, the way he used to lean across the table and say, “You’re doing it again,” in that warm voice that always made me melt. I shoved it all down.When I finally glanced at him, his grey eyes were right there, searching my face like he was looking for the girl he left behind. My heart slammed against my ribs. “The florist portfolio,” I said, clearing my throat. “I’ll need it by Thursday.” “Done,” he answered quietly. Just one word. But the way he said it… it felt like so much more. Like something I didn’t want him to promise. --- The coordinator left first. I took my time packing up my stuff, trying to act normal, Calm. In control. I grabbed my bag and headed for the door. “Naomi.” His voice stopped me cold, low, and rough. Like it hurt him to say my name. I stood there with my back to him, hand on the door handle, pulse racing. The silence stretched between us, thick and heavy. Part of me wanted to turn around. The smarter part of me walked out. --- Inside the elevator, I stared at my reflection and whispered, “You’re okay. You did fine.” My hands were still steady. My face looked put together.Then my phone buzzed, unknown number. I opened the message and froze. Text: “He didn’t just find you today. He’s been watching you and your daughter for over a year. Ask him why he really brought you back.” The elevator doors opened into the busy lobby, but I couldn’t move. My heart was pounding so hard it hurt. That quiet “done.” Those grey eyes, the way he said my name like he’d been carrying it around for years. What the hell had I just walked into?Latest chapter
PREGNANT BY THE CEO CHAPTER 90- JUST NOT TONIGHT
The evening wound down the way good evenings did, people peeling away in the natural order.Isla went first and hugged Sebastian on her way to her room. Not the careful, side-on hug of someone still testing new territory. A full, easy hug, arms around his neck, cheek pressed briefly to his shoulder the way she used to when she was still small. She said goodnight in that soft private voice she used when she was happy, then disappeared down the hall. Her door clicked shut. The apartment grew quieter by one person’s worth of presence. Jade and Marcus left together. This had been happening more often, the two of them ending up at the door at the same time, the dinner bickering continuing into the corridor in lower voices. I let it be whatever it was.Jade hugged me with her warmth of someone who had a good evening and wanted to show appreciation. Her perfume, citrus and clean, pulled me back for a second to other kitchens, other years.“This was a beautiful night sis,” she said against

My daughter had the spine of a woman who rebuilt herself and the eyes of a man learning to be worthy of her got in on her own merit and her own words.I was undone, I got home before Isla did. I bought food on the way — not just pasta, something substantial, the kind of dinner this night deserved. I was standing at the counter unpacking it when I picked up my phone.I had been planning to call Jade. Instead Sebastian was already picking up and I had not planned to do it and I was not going to examine why I had."Hey," he said."Isla got in," I said."What?" he said."The programme," I said. "She got accepted. They specifically mentioned the essay."What came out of him then was not a word. Not any language. Just sound, the pure, unguarded sound of a man receiving something that went deeper than words could reach first.I stood at my kitchen counter and listened to it and thought: ‘This is what he would have been like from the beginning. If we had been allowed to have it. This version

He said it changes everything in a national profile and I read it at my desk at eight in the morning.Marcus sent it first, no message, just the link at seven fifty-two, which meant he'd been awake and reading the business press before eight on a Thursday and had thought of me immediately. I read the piece through properly. Then I read the paragraph again. I put my phone down and made coffee, came back and read the paragraph a third time. ‘I stopped making decisions based on what I was afraid of losing. I started making them based on what I actually wanted. It changes everything.’Said off the record. Printed anyway, because the journalist understood it was the most true thing in the piece and the piece needed it. Jade sent it at eight-oh-three: “He said that. In a national publication. Under his own name. I need you to appreciate how significant that is for a man like him.” She said,Priya sent it at eight-eleven with: “Good.”I sat at my desk and thought about a man who spent thirty

He framed the photograph we had been keeping face down for sixteen years and I let him hang it somewhere I could see it because he was right. It was a good photograph.He put it in the hallway. Not the bedroom… the hallway, where I would pass it every morning on my way to the kitchen and every evening on my way back. He held it against the wall and said: "Here?" and I had said yes without thinking about it because it was exactly right.The first morning I walked past it I stopped. Just for a moment. Long enough to look at it directly, then I went to make coffee. Not with grief, not with the careful management of feeling. Just looked at it and moved on.That was what it looked like when you stopped keeping things face down. That was what it looked like when you decided the past was something to have, not something to hide from.The weeks that followed moved with the quiet momentum of a life in its right shape. I signed the bigger office lease on a Tuesday.The one I had been circling f

My daughter found his photo and didn’t say a single word. She just set her phone down on the kitchen table, the screen still glowing with those sharp grey eyes, and looked right at me.That silence hit like a slap.I stared back. The moment stretched… and stretched. My pulse hammered so loud I was

Sebastian’s wife knew my name. That single fact hit me like a bucket of ice water straight down my back. She didn’t just know my name, she knew exactly what her husband had done to me all those years ago. My legs kept walking anyway, carrying me down the sidewalk while my stomach twisted into a ti
