PREGNANT BY THE CEO CHAPTER 75- YES
I packed a bag for a weekend away with Sebastian, and for once I didn’t feel like a woman executing a plan.I felt like a woman who actually wanted to go. That difference hit deeper than I expected.I stood in my bedroom, the bag gaping open on the bed, and noticed everything that was missing: no performance, no armor of composure, no version of myself built only for survival. Just me, choosing shirts and jeans, letting my fingers linger on soft fabrics while my mind wandered toward two quiet days that asked nothing from me.Isla appeared in the doorway.She looked at the bag, then at me. The quiet satisfaction on her face was the look of someone who had watched her long game finally click into place.“What?” I said.“Nothing.” She leaned against the frame, arms loosely crossed. “You just look like someone who isn’t afraid of anything anymore.”“I look like I’m packing a bag,” I said, but the corner of my mouth twitched.“Same thing,” she answered, soft. “Jade’s coming Saturday. We’re
PREGNANT BY THE CEO CHAPTER 74- SHE WOULD BE SO GLAD
My daughter had written about me, and I wasn’t a cautionary tale in it.I was the point. I sat there, the words pressing against my ribs like something warm and too big for my chest, feeling more seen than I had ever been in my life.I found my voice eventually. Isla stood across the counter, watching me with those steady grey eyes while I clutched her phone, unable to speak. The living room noise drifted in—Jade’s voice rising, Marcus laughing, Sebastian saying something low and easy, but the silence stretching between us felt heavy, charged. “Mom,” she said softly. “It’s okay if you cry.” “I’m not going to cry,” I said, the words catching just enough to betray me. “You’re definitely about to.” “I’m not.” My voice wavered on the last word, and we both heard it. She didn’t push. She just waited, patient in that way of hers that somehow made the air feel thicker. I picked up the phone again and read the rest, all twelve paragraphs. Clear and precise. Entirely her voice,
PREGNANT BY THE CEO CHAPTER 73- THE TRUEST SENTENCE
Victor Hale wrote “the girl is remarkable” in the margin of a legal document. I slid the paper into the drawer with the rest of the letters, the quiet scrape of wood the only sound in the room. ‘That's the closest he'll ever come,’ I thought, and for the first time in sixteen years, it was enough. I was done waiting for more.I closed the drawer.No ceremony, no dramatic pause. Just the soft final click of wood meeting wood, like any other drawer when you’re finished with what’s inside. I turned away and went to make coffee, the routine pulling me forward before the weight of it could settle again.I had carried Victor for sixteen years—not the man, but the hollow space he left in my mind. What he’d done, what it cost me. What it demanded from me every single day just to keep standing. I’d carried it through the company, the plan, the deposition, the gala? every hard-won victory still laced with his shadow.No more.This wasn’t forgiveness. I wasn’t going to wrap it up prettily. But
PREGNANT BY THE CEO CHAPTER 72- SIX WORDS
Sebastian’s ex-wife told me he was already somewhere else on their wedding day. I sat with that for a long time. Not because it reopened the wound, I’d carried that one long enough, but for the strange, complicated grace of finally seeing the full picture. The edges fit in a way that hurt and soothes them at the same time.For years I had turned Claire into a symbol. The woman at the altar. The ring on her finger. The society photographs I’d closed on my phone and never reopened. She had been the face I pasted over the thing that broke me, because the thing itself—Victor, the machinery, the forged signature, the sixteen years, was too vast and faceless to hate with any precision.But she knew, on her own wedding day, that her husband was already somewhere else. That was not the life of a woman who had won. I called Sebastian that evening. My thumb hovered over his name longer than it should have.He answered on the second ring. “Hey.”“Claire sent me a message,” I said, voice steadi
PREGNANT BY THE CEO CHAPTER 1- SOMEWHERE ELSE
I kissed him, and the world did not end. It kept turning with this strange, almost mocking calm, and I needed a minute, just one, to sit with the fact that something so enormous could feel so... quiet.Wednesday morning I lay in bed for four full minutes and did nothing but exist inside what had happened.No analysis or contingency plans. No calculating how this might blow up in my face later. Just the warmth of my sheets and the low hum in my chest that said irreversible and, for once, made irreversible feel like relief instead of ruin.Then I got up, made coffee, and went to work.I didn’t spiral, I didn’t pull back. The questions I’d been asking for six months had finally run out of road. I kissed him. He kissed me back. We greeted each other in that corridor like two people stunned by what they’d found. I decided it was good and went to work. I told Jade at lunch.I’d called about something work-related, but she’d been reading me for twenty-four years. She caught it in the first
PREGNANT BY THE CEO CHAPTER 70- HI
He said he was proud of me, and something inside my chest cracked open. I cried in the bathroom for two straight minutes—silent, shoulders shaking, the kind of tears that come from a place you’ve kept locked for years. Then I splashed water on my face, stared at the stranger in the mirror with red-rimmed eyes, and walked back out like nothing had happened. He didn’t need to know. He already did.He had made tea while I was gone. Moved through my kitchen with that quiet confidence, like the space had quietly become his too.He found the cups without asking, and knew exactly where the tea bags lived. When I stepped back in, he looked up and read my face the way he always did, seeing everything I tried to hide. He handed me the cup without a word about the redness around my eyes. That was the right thing. We both knew it.We talked for another hour about smaller things. A supplier issue I’d been juggling. The board meeting he’d chaired where three grown men had wasted forty-five minute
PREGNANT BY THE CEO CHAPTER 2: THE FACE I KNEW
I had three rules for this contract. Don’t feel anything. Don’t remember anything. And whatever you do, don’t let him see that both rules had already shattered before I even walked through the door.I made it back to my desk by two o’clock, hands still shaking as I dropped my bag onto the chair. T
PREGNANT BY THE CEO 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
PREGNANT BY THE CEO CHAPTER 4: THE MESSAGE
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
PREGNANT BY THE CEO CHAPTER 3: THE WIFE
I’d spent sixteen years making damn sure Sebastian Hale would never find me, and now someone was helping him look.That thought ate at me all night. I sat at the kitchen table until after midnight, eyes stinging from the laptop screen. The blurry photo of that guy in the dark jacket stared back at
