PREGNANT BY THE CEO CHAPTER 78- JUST OKAY
I had been keeping those letters like evidence. I didn’t need evidence anymore. I knew what happened, what it cost, and what came after.The pile on the bed was not large. Twenty-nine letters. The forged transfer document. Victor’s legal withdrawal. The investigator’s report I had kept because keeping things had once felt like the only power I had left.I looked at all of it for a long moment. My hands stayed still at my sides. The air in the room felt heavier than it should have, like it was waiting for me to decide.Then I looked at the two letters in my other hand, the first and the last. The first: “I need somewhere to put this and you are the only person I have ever told the truth to.” The last: “I just need you to know that I looked.”These were Isla’s. She hadn’t asked for them. But she was going to be eighteen soon enough, and they were part of her story as much as mine. She deserved the full thing when she was ready for it.I folded them carefully and put them in the small bo
PREGNANT BY THE CEO CHAPTER 77- FAR ENOUGH AWAY
I watched it happen across the kitchen table. No breakdown, no speech. Nothing that needed managing. He just sat with it, the way he sat with things that mattered, all the way in, and the expression on his face was the one he wore when something landed somewhere deep and he was being honest enough not to cover it. His hands stayed still on the table. His breathing slowed, almost carefully.Isla had already moved on. She was in the refrigerator asking whether there was enough pasta, entirely unbothered in the way of someone who had delivered a fact and did not consider it remarkable. Because to her it wasn’t remarkable. It was just accurate. He was included. She had decided that weeks ago and had now simply let it be visible.Sebastian looked at me across the table. I held his gaze. I didn’t say anything. He understood from my face that I had seen it, the decision she had made, the ease of it, and that I was not going to turn it into something that needed to be discussed. He nodded
PREGNANT BY THE CEO CHAPTER 76- PART OF ONE
I said yes.Sixteen years after I should have been asked. Sixteen years after I deserved to be. I said yes in a quiet room at the end of a long day, and I meant it completely.We drove home Sunday evening in the easy quiet of two people who had said something important and were living inside it rather than discussing it.The city came back gradually—outer edges first, then the density, then the specific familiar noise of streets I had been building a life in. I watched it arrive through the passenger window and thought about the woman who had come here with a plan that had nothing to do with any of this.She would not recognise herself in me and she would be so glad about that. Sebastian pulled up outside my building and turned off the engine. The silence held for a second longer than necessary.“Thank you for coming,” he said.“Thank you for asking,” I said.He looked at me. The real smile, the one that still caught me off guard sometimes, the one that made something low in my chest
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 11: THE ENVELOPE
Victor Hale had just tried to buy me out of the room the same way he bought his son a bride. The man had exactly one move, and he had just shown it to me.I want to go back twenty minutes.I had been heading for the lobby exit, folder under my arm, mind already on the drive back, when Victor appear
PREGNANT BY THE CEO CHAPTER 7: THE GREY EYES THAT KNEW
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
PREGNANT BY THE CEO CHAPTER 6: THE SPLINTER
A stranger handed me the truth I’d spent sixteen years pretending I didn’t need.I didn’t call Ethan that day. I drove home with his words sitting right there beside me, pressing against my ribs like something alive and restless. My hands stayed steady on the wheel, but my heart was pounding in my
PREGNANT BY THE CEO CHAPTER 5: THE OTHER MAN
Sebastian Hale hadn’t just found me. He’d been watching my company grow for over a year, making sure I would come back, and I walked right into his trap like it was the best business decision I’d ever made.I checked it the next morning.It took forty minutes, one old contact at a corporate filing
