(Serena)

I wake up before the 5 a.m. alarm. No nausea. No stress. No fear.

I feel great. Energized and organized.

It’s the first morning in a while I haven’t felt like my body was plotting against me.

Morning sickness is not pleasant, especially when it crops up at any time during the day. But even that felt good reminding me of what was causing it.

Despite being worried by another miscarriage and struggling to tell James, being pregnant again really thrilled me. I want this so bad.

And I know that stress, exercise, heavy lifting, and many other things are misconceptions about what can cause miscarriage, it’s hard to not think there are things we can do to lessen the risk.

But I’ve also had the professionals tell me that being active, working, and enjoying life are great ways to nurture a healthy pregnancy. So that’s what I’m going to do, but also within reason.

If I ever want to truly realize my dream of a global franchise, I have to focus more on the business end of things and less

  • The Billionaire Married Me, Then Forgot How to Love Me   069 Something Doesn’t Add Up

    (Serena)James didn’t come home last night.I keep telling myself not to spiral. He texted. He said Savannah had a breakthrough. That she agreed to see the psychologist and they made progress.It should be a good thing, right?It means maybe she’s one step closer to bonding with her baby, to not dumping him entirely. It means James showed up, he stayed, he helped. Same as I did when I did her makeup and hair.Human kindness, right?Still, all I can think about is how it used to be.When he’d roll over and pull me closer before I even opened my eyes. Before she came back.Before everything became a test of how much space I’m willing to give the woman who’s slowly gutting my life.I push the thought away. Today isn’t about wallowing.It’s about control. It’s about dinner with my family.And I have a ton of stuff to do to get this formal dining room ready for my first solo dinner party in there. I have plenty to do without overthinking what James is doing and why.The formal dining roo

    (James)Savannah is still sobbing so hard I can barely understand her.“I can’t do this,” she cries. “I can’t… I hate myself. I hate how I feel. It’s not normal. Why can’t I even look at him? What is wrong with me?”“Savannah, breathe. You’re not alone in this.”“I’m not a mother. I don’t deserve him. Maybe I shouldn’t even be here anymore.” Her voice breaks. “If they make me, I’m going to do something… They can’t make me see him.”The hair rises on the back of my neck. Does she mean to herself or the baby?The doctors are in and out. They’re worried. Talk of observation. Maybe even transfer to the psych ward. Savannah won’t stop apologizing, won’t stop blaming herself.“They all hate me,” she says, hollow. “They hate me because I can’t love this baby. Especially Serena.”“Don’t say that. Serena has been here helping you. She’s worried about you,” I say. “So am I.”“No one can fix this,” she says.“You’ll be okay. We’ll work through this, Savannah. I promise.” I take her in my arms an

    (Serena)My cell phone buzzes just as I sit down.Savannah.I stare at the screen. For a second, I think about letting it go to voicemail. I’ve been doing enough. More than enough.But then I think of the baby. And I answer.“Hello?”She doesn’t speak at first, just breathes. Then there’s a sharp, choked inhale.“Savannah?”Her voice is broken. “I shouldn’t have called. I’m sorry.”“What’s going on?”“I can’t do this,” she says. “I can’t be this… this thing everyone expects me to be. A mother. A good person. I’m not.”“Savannah, calm down. Take some breaths. Ring the buzzer for help.”“I don’t feel anything for that baby. And when I try… it makes me feel sick. What kind of person does that make me?”Her voice cracks. A sob sounds out.I close my eyes. “You’re not well. You need help.”“I hate myself. They tried. They took me to the ward, I panicked. I couldn’t even look. I can’t.”I just don’t know what else to say.She continues, “I feel like I’m going to scream or tear my skin off.

    (James)“After a scan, if we want to disappear for a bit. Just us. You’ll need to find the time….”“I’ll need to find the time? You’re the one who’s never home.”“But I can move my work anywhere and do it. But the bakery, well, I don’t think you can do that from another country. Maybe you can…”“What do you mean?”“I know you’re stepping back to run it from a hands-off perspective. I wonder if that will really happen. At the first disaster you’ll be there, fixing things. That’s who you are and I love you for it. You can’t do that from across the world.”“What are you saying?”“Just that if we are going to babymoon, maybe you need to make the separation from the bakery… more complete.”She stares hard at me. “Is this just another way to convince me to sell up?”“No. But you can’t be everywhere and focuses on everything. I’m just saying, we all need to make hard choices. I want us to keep this pregnancy secret so we can enjoy it together for longer.”She softens. “The babymoon idea? I d

    (James)Serena’s scared of losing me.I’m scared of losing her. I won’t lose her. I can’t.Now she’s starting to at least try and see how life as Mrs. James Hale can be. How I need her to be.It gives me renewed hope.Because for us to be together, and be happy, she needs to play a certain role. It can’t be any other way because if I walk away from my parents for love, I walk away from the very essence of who I am, who I’ve worked all my life to be.I can’t do that. This is who I am. The billions in my banks, the power at my fingertips, the ability to affect world change in my lap.She said I have to start putting her first, above the work, above the people who make demands on my time, above everyone.And she’s probably not wrong, but it can’t happen yet. I’m too close to being the sum of everything before me. I have political aspirations too. I need to stay my course for now.I’m just not sure I know how to find the balance with Serena right now. And Savannah? She a wildcard I can’t

    (Serena)I’m glad at last to get home and be able to talk freely to James face to face.I’m glad he suggested coming to the east wing office to talk, but I’m also a little worried as he’s just come from the hospital and talking with Savannah.I hope she’s been honest with him, but I can’t be sure she isn’t running her own agenda. In fact, I have to presume she is.James walks in behind me and closes the door.I sit at the desk in the leather chair and James sits across from me.He reaches over and takes my hand. “You’re still okay?”“I pass the ten-week mark today,” I say. “That’s when it happened last time. So I’m not all risk is gone of course but I’m more hopeful.”His thumb brushes lightly. “That’s good.”“It is. We’re past the most common danger window. The worst is supposed to be behind us.”“Supposed to be,” he echoes.“Yeah.” I pull in a breath. “There’s always a chance. But it’s smaller now. I’m letting myself breathe a little.”“You’ve been incredible lately. Thank you.”It’
