The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 169: Emergency Delivery
Bella POVOnce the decision was made, things moved with a terrifying speed. The room was filled with people who possessed the calm efficiency of a team that had done this a thousand times.I hadn’t done this—not like this. My first birth had been different, but this felt like being caught in a current moving faster than I could process. Through the pre-op, the cold theater, and the surgical drape, Caleb never let go of my hand. His grip wasn't a performance; it was just warm, steady, and there."Look at me," he said when I started to shake."Talk to me," I said, low enough that only he could hear it over the sounds of the room."What do you want me to say?""Anything, just keep talking."He was quiet for a beat, and then he said, "Tom asked me this morning if the baby would like dinosaurs."I exhaled — something between a laugh and a sob. "What did you tell him?""I told him she'd probably like whatever he taught her to like." He kept his eyes on mine. "He said he was going to start w
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 168: Hospital Stay
Caleb POVThe chair next to her bed wasn't meant for sleeping; by the second night, my back was certain of it but I refused to leave anyway.Around midnight, the first nurse offered a proper couch in the family room."I'm fine here," I said."Mr. Black, you really should get some proper rest," she replied gently. "You can't support her if you're running on empty.""I appreciate that. I’m fine here."She didn't push, just checked the monitors and left.The next morning, a younger nurse tried a more direct approach. "The chair isn't good for your back," he noted."My back is managing," I told him.Bella watched the exchange from over the top of her book, with the expression of someone who found it mildly entertaining."He won't move," she told the nurse. "I've tried.""You haven't tried," I countered."I told you the chair looked uncomfortable.""That's not the same as trying."The nurse made a quick note on his clipboard and gave up. From then on, they stopped asking, and I respected t
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 167: Complications
Bella POVDr. Okafor delivered the news with a calm, steady hand—not cold, just direct. I appreciated that, even as the weight of the words started to sink in."The placenta is sitting low," she said, turning the scan image toward me. "Not critically, not yet, but combined with your blood pressure readings and the spotting last week, I want to classify this as high risk and manage it accordingly."I looked at the image. Then at her. "What does that mean practically?""It means reduced activity significantly. I'd like you working from home, minimal stress, no long travel. If the placenta doesn't move as the pregnancy progresses" She paused, choosing her words. "We'll cross that when we get there. Right now we manage carefully and we monitor closely.”Caleb sat frozen beside me, hiding his reaction while I kept my focus on Dr. Okafor. "Could I lose the baby?" I asked.She didn't flinch at the directness. "There are risks. That's why we're having this conversation now rather than later.
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 166: Running Mad
Caleb POVI had dismantled hostile takeovers, survived my father Victor Black's cruelty, and faced Bella's powerful return after her absence. But nothing prepared me for this pregnancy.By week nine, I was scentless and exiled from my own kitchen to avoid triggering her. By week eleven, I accepted the biological logic of her sensitivities without complaint. However, I was completely baffled by the sheer specificity of her cravings. I had researched everything in secret to avoid appearing excessive, yet I was still caught off guard."James," I said on a Friday afternoon, standing in the kitchen while Bella sent him a text from the other room. "What's she asking for?"James checked his phone. His expression remained professionally neutral. "A specific brand of pickled ginger, sir. Available at one retailer in East London."I looked at him."I'll leave immediately," he said.James flew to London specifically because the brand of pickled ginger Bella wanted was only sold at one family-run

Bella pov He pulled back and thrust back in, setting a rhythm that was deep and steady but exactly what I needed. Every stroke dragged against that perfect spot inside me. My breasts bounced with each thrust, nipples tight and aching. Caleb leaned down and sucked one into his mouth, teeth grazing just enough to make me cry out.“Yes— like that— don’t stop”“You’re so fucking wet,” he groaned, hips snapping faster. “I can feel you dripping down my cock. This is what you needed, isn’t it? My cock filling you up while you’re carrying my baby.”The words sent a fresh wave of heat through me. “Yes. Yours. Only yours.”He reached between us and rubbed my clit in tight circles. “Come for me again, Bella. Let me feel you squeeze me.”I shattered, back arching, walls pulsing around him. Caleb cursed, thrusts turning erratic as he chased his own release. “I’m close— where do you want it?”“Inside,” I gasped. “Come inside me. Fill me up.”He buried himself deep and came with a low groan, hips j
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 164: The Body Changes2
Bella POVHe kissed me again, slower this time, his tongue stroking mine in a way that made my knees weak. “You’re carrying our baby,” he whispered hotly against my mouth, his free hand slipping under my blouse to caress the bare skin of my back. “You’re glowing, your body is changing in the most beautiful ways, and all I can think about is how much I want to worship every inch of you. Tell me exactly what you need tonight. I’ll give it to you. Slow and deep, or hard and fast—whatever your body is begging for.”His words sent another rush of heat through me. I pressed closer, feeling the hard line of his arousal against my hip. “Hard,” I breathed. “I want to feel you lose control a little. I want to feel wanted like this.”Caleb groaned, his forehead resting against mine. “You are wanted, every single day. I look at you across a room and remember how you taste, how you sound when you come for me. In that lunch meeting today? When I leaned over the table? I saw the way your eyes darken
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 46: Desperation
Caleb pov My throat closed up completely. I couldn't speak, couldn't move, could barely breathe. He remembered me. My son remembered me."Hi, Tom," Maya said gently, sitting down next to him. "Remember how I told you we were meeting someone today? This is Caleb. He's Mommy's friend, and he wanted

Bella pov "Because you can influence how it happens," Jennifer said. "You can work with him to create a schedule that minimizes disruption to Tom's life. You can set boundaries about where visits happen, who supervises them, how Caleb is introduced. Or you can fight him every step of the way, spen

Caleb pov The question hung in the air, and I saw everyone watching me, waiting to see how I'd respond."years ago, you would have been right," I said quietly. "I was dead inside, so focused on control that I couldn't let myself feel anything. But Bella, losing you broke something open in me. I've

Caleb pov "I understand." I felt something loosen in my chest, hope flooding in where there'd been only guilt. "Thank you, Bella. You won't regret this.""I already regret it," she said, but there was less bite in her voice. "But Maya's right. Tom deserves to know his father. And despite everythin
