Chapter 6

Author: Maya Nightingale
Ethan’s POV

”Steven… Hannah was really pregnant?"

I asked Steven again after Dr. Mitchell left.

"Yeah. There’s no mistake. You’ve been so distracted at work that I asked someone to look into her situation. And then we found this."

Steven pulled another envelope from his bag and showed me several photos of Hannah.

They were all taken from the side or slightly behind, clearly showing her stomach.

Her belly had grown round and unmistakably large.

With each passing day in the photos, it was impossible not to see she was pregnant.

"It’s been five months since she left the house. Judging by how big her stomach is in these pictures, she’s probably nine months along. Maybe even at full term. But if that’s true, you should have noticed something before all this. And Hannah definitely would have told you."

He opened the pregnancy report again, the one that said "twin pregnancy" on the cover.

"When you put together the fact that Dr. Mitchell didn’t deny it, and how quickly her belly gre

    Hannah’s POVAfter we finished celebrating the twins’ birthday, Dr. Mitchell handed me a small package.“Hannah, this one is for you.”I blinked in surprise. I hadn’t expected he would prepare something for me as well. When I opened the simple wrapping paper, a small tube of lipstick with a discreet luxury logo appeared. The case was an elegant gold, the cap etched with delicate engravings. On the side, engraved in tiny script, was my name ‘Hannah’.“You’ve been doing an incredible job as a mother. Now that the twins are walking, you’ll have more chances to go out. I thought it would be nice if you had something that reminded you to take care of yourself too.”His words filled my chest with something warm and tight. Between caring for the twins and carrying the weight of loneliness, I hadn’t had a moment to think about myself. Since my divorce from Ethan, I’d stopped dressing up, stopped doing makeup and stopped feeling like a woman rather than just a mother. Somehow, Dr. Mitchell

    Hannah’s POVThat day marked the twins’ first birthday.From early morning, the entire villa had been buzzing with activity. Melvin, the butler, and the housekeepers moved quickly and quietly through the halls, turning the living room into a colorful celebration. Balloons floated everywhere, and a handmade birthday plate displayed Ken and Amber’s names in adorable lettering.The dining table looked like something out of a luxury restaurant. There was a smash-style baby cake made from baby-friendly ingredients, and several beautifully prepared dishes for the adults. Everyone here was genuinely happy to celebrate Ken and Amber’s very first birthday, and that warmth touched me more deeply than I expected.“Miss Hannah, the decorations and food are all ready!”Melvin reported with a proud smile.Since the day I arrived at the villa, he and the staff had always gone out of their way to support me. Their kindness meant everything.In the afternoon, Dr. Mitchell arrived, carrying two la

    Hannah’s POVEven after Dr. Mitchell confessed his feelings, he continued treating me exactly the same as before.On his days off, he would stop by the villa with small gifts like non-caffeinated tea or pastries, saying they were “just something he thought I might like.” He played with Ken and Amber as if it truly made his day: holding them, rocking them, making little peek-a-boo faces until they burst into laughter. Watching the twins laugh always warmed my heart.While the children napped, he kept me company.In a house where everyone around me was staff—kind, yes, but not people I could speak to freely. Dr. Mitchell became the only person I could talk to without hesitation. Those conversations were the closest thing I had to breathing room.“Hannah, how have you been lately? Anything you’re struggling with?”When he asked gently, I found myself opening up more than I expected. I told him honestly about the challenges of raising twins: the sleepless nights, feeding schedules, h

    Hannah’s POVAfter the twins were born, I assumed I wouldn’t see Dr. Mitchell as often. The villa was far from the city, and I expected he would become too busy.But somehow, he always made time to visit, driving all the way out to the East Coast villa whenever he could.One day, he suggested a walk through the nearby woods as a change of pace.“Both of them are growing well,” he said. “Their height and weight are right on track.”“I’m glad… I keep worrying whether I’m doing everything right. Hearing you say that makes me feel so much better. I can’t always tell on my own, so I’m really grateful when you come for their checkups.”“I’m happy to hear that. But honestly… I’d like it even more if you looked forward to seeing ‘me’, not just the doctor.”“…What?”“Hannah,” he said quietly, “I like you. Not as a doctor, not as a patient. I like you as a woman. I don’t want you to suffer anymore. I want to be the one by your side. And if you’ll let me… I want to protect you, Ken, and A

    Hannah’s POVBut beneath all the joy and small pockets of happiness, a deep loneliness always lingered.The villa had housekeepers and a butler, so daily life was never inconvenient. They were all kind, attentive, gentle, and quick to help even with the smallest things. Yet because of our positions, they were not people I could confide in. They cared for me, but they were not companions.I had no close friends.No one to talk to.No one I could call.Sometimes it felt as if I had vanished from the world entirely, like the person called “Hannah” had become transparent and forgotten by everyone.My life back then felt like a distant dream now. Back then, I had friends around me, dressed in the latest fashion, spent afternoons in cafés and restaurants, and wandered through boutiques for fun. I used to attend parties and glamorous events in beautiful dresses, surrounded by people and conversation. I lived happily with Ethan, believing that bright, glamorous life would last forever.N

    Hannah’s POVLife at the East Coast villa felt as if time itself had slowed.Far from the noise of the city, I lived quietly here, surrounded by the two small rays of hope who kept me moving forward. Three full years had passed since everything fell apart.From the villa’s wide windows, the landscape shifted beautifully with each season.In spring, fresh green buds burst to life.In summer, cool breezes slipped through the trees.Autumn set the mountains ablaze with fiery reds and golds.Winter blanketed the world in a soft, silent white.This villa was the last kindness my father left me, and the only place that truly sheltered the twins and me.Outside, Ken and Amber ran across the lawn, their laughter carrying through the crisp air.Ken resembled me, with wide double-lidded eyes framed by long lashes. He was cautious and gentle, always observing before he acted. Amber, on the other hand, had Ethan’s eyes—sharp, cool, beautifully shaped. She was bold, determined, and hated
