The man's words replayed in her mind.
I know what you're carrying.
How?
She hadn't told anyone.
Not even her mother.
She rushed outside.
“Wait!”
But the man was already walking toward a black car.
Elena ran after him.
“Who sent you?”
He stopped.
For a moment, she thought he would answer.
Instead, he turned.
“Ask your father.”
Then he got into the car.
Elena froze.
Her father?
What did her father know?
She returned to the house.
Daniel was standing in the hallway.
“Who was that man?”
Her father didn't answer.
“Dad.”
He looked away.
“You shouldn't have spoken to him.”
“Why?”
“Because some people are better left alone.”
Elena's suspicion deepened.
“You know him.”
Daniel's silence was enough.
“You know him,” she repeated.
“Elena, listen to me.”
“No. You listen to me.”
Her voice shook.
“Someone just told me he knows about my baby. Then he told me to ask you.”
Daniel's face changed.
Her mother appeared behind him.
“Baby?”
Elena's heart sank.
She had forgotten her mother was there.
Silence filled the room.
Her mother looked from Elena to Daniel.
“What baby?”
Elena couldn't speak.
Daniel closed his eyes.
Margaret's hand went to her mouth.
“Elena…”
Tears filled Elena's eyes.
“I was going to tell you.”
Her mother slowly sat down.
“You're pregnant?”
Elena nodded.
“When?”
“Three weeks ago.”
Margaret looked heartbroken.
“Does Adrian know?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because I had to protect all of you.”
Her father stepped forward.
“Elena—”
“You knew?”
Daniel stopped.
“You knew about Adrian's family. You knew what they could do. Why didn't you tell me?”
“I was trying to protect you.”
“Everyone keeps saying that.”
Elena wiped her tears.
“But nobody tells me the truth.”
Her father looked at her for a long moment.
Then he said quietly,
“There are things about the Blackwoods you don't know.”
Elena stared at him.
“What things?”
Before he could answer, headlights appeared outside.
A car stopped.
Daniel's face went pale.
“They found us.”
---
Adrian stepped out of the vehicle.
He looked at the unfamiliar house.
His assistant stood beside him.
“This is the address.”
Adrian stared at the building.
After weeks of searching, he was finally close.
He walked toward the door.
Then stopped.
Something felt wrong.
He had imagined this moment countless times.
He would ask Elena why she left.
He would demand the truth.
He would tell her he never stopped loving her.
But when the door opened, he wasn't prepared for what he saw.
Elena stood there.
Pale.
Terrified.
And with tears in her eyes.
Adrian's heart stopped.
“Elena.”
She couldn't answer.
His eyes searched her face.
Then his gaze dropped to her hand resting protectively over her stomach.
His expression changed.
“Why are you holding your stomach?”
Elena's breath caught.
Adrian stared at her.
Then he whispered,
“Are you pregnant?”
She couldn't lie anymore.
“Yes.”
The world seemed to stop.
Adrian took a step backward.
“Is it mine?”
Elena's tears fell.
“Yes.”
And for the first time since she disappeared, Adrian had the answer he had been searching for.
But he also had a hundred new questions.

The Billionaire's Forbidden Bride Victoria's secret
Victoria Blackwood was having breakfast when Adrian walked into the mansion.She looked up calmly.“You came back.”Adrian didn't sit.“Where were you last night?”Victoria placed her cup down.“That's an interesting question.”“I found a message in Grandfather's private archive.”Her expression changed for less than a second.But Adrian noticed.“What message?”He placed the paper on the table.Victoria picked it up and read it.Her face slowly lost its color.“Where did you get this?”“That's not important.”“It is to me.”“Then tell me what happened.”Victoria looked toward the doorway.“Send the staff away.”Adrian turned toward the servants.“Leave us.”One by one, they disappeared.When the room was finally empty, Victoria stood.“You shouldn't be investigating this.”“Why?”“Because there are things you don't understand.”“I understand that you destroyed Elena's life.”Victoria flinched.“I was trying to protect you.”“You threatened her family.”“Yes.”“You forced her to disap
The Billionaire's Forbidden Bride The missing file
Adrian opened the door.Nobody was there.Only an envelope lay on the floor.He picked it up.“Don't touch that,” Charles warned.Adrian ignored him.He opened the envelope.Inside was a single photograph.A photograph of the Blackwood Corporation building.On the back was a handwritten message.THE FILE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR WAS NEVER DESTROYED.Adrian's eyes narrowed.“What file?”Charles stared at the photograph.“The missing agreement.”Daniel suddenly sat down.Elena noticed.“You know something.”Daniel rubbed his forehead.“I've known about that file for years.”Adrian turned toward him.“Where is it?”“I don't know.”“You're lying again.”“I don't know where it is now.”“But you know what it contains.”Daniel hesitated.“Yes.”Elena stepped forward.“What does it contain?”Daniel looked at her.“The truth about the agreement between our families.”Charles crossed his arms.“And the reason Alexander Blackwood wanted everyone to forget it existed.”Adrian stared at Charles.“What
The Billionaire's Forbidden Bride The old photograph
The lights came back on.For several seconds, nobody moved.Elena was still holding the letter.Adrian stood beside her, his eyes fixed on the windows.“Did you hear that?” he asked.Daniel nodded.“The car.”Adrian immediately moved toward the door.“Stay here.”Elena grabbed his arm.“No.”He turned.“I’m not letting you walk into whatever is outside alone.”Adrian looked at her hand around his arm.Then at her face.Something softened in his expression.“You're still stubborn.”“I'm still scared.”The honesty caught him off guard.Elena released him.Charles walked toward the window and pulled the curtain aside.The road was empty.The car was gone.“Who was that?” Adrian asked.Charles didn't answer.“Charles.”“I don't know.”Adrian gave him a cold look.“You expect me to believe that?”“No.”Charles turned toward Elena.“But whoever was outside knows you're here.”Elena's stomach tightened.Daniel suddenly stepped forward.“We need to leave.”Charles looked at him.“Not yet.”“Y
The Billionaire's Forbidden Bride Charles Vale
“Finally.”Charles Vale's voice was calm, almost polite.That frightened Elena more than if he had shouted.She stood frozen in the middle of the room, one hand instinctively resting against her stomach.Adrian moved immediately, placing himself between Elena and the stranger.“Who are you?”Charles smiled faintly.“You already know my name.”“I asked who you are.”Charles looked past Adrian and fixed his eyes on Elena.“I’m the man your family should have told you about years ago.”Elena's heart tightened.She turned toward her father.“Dad?”Daniel didn't answer.That silence was enough.Elena stared at him in disbelief.“You know him?”Daniel finally looked at Charles.“I know exactly who he is.”Charles gave a humorless laugh.“And yet you never told your daughter.”Adrian's expression hardened.“What does my family have to do with you?”Charles slowly walked toward the table and placed a thick brown folder on it.“Your family has everything to do with me.”Adrian didn't move.“Th
The Billionaire's Forbidden Bride The price of the truth
The black car disappeared around the corner.Adrian remained by the window, watching the empty road.“They're still watching us,” he said.Elena wrapped her arms around herself.“Who?”“I don't know yet.”Her father walked toward the window and pulled the curtains shut.“We shouldn't stay here.”Adrian turned.“Where can we go?”Daniel hesitated.That hesitation told Adrian everything.“You already have somewhere in mind.”Daniel sighed.“There is a property my father left me years ago. It's outside the city.”“Is it safe?”“I've never told anyone about it.”“Then we'll go there.”Elena looked at Adrian.“You're coming with us?”Adrian stared at her.“You thought I'd find out I have a child and then leave?”“That isn't what I meant.”“I know.”His voice softened.“But I'm not leaving you alone again.”Elena's heart tightened.She had spent weeks convincing herself that Adrian was better off without her.Now that he was standing in front of her, she wasn't sure she could keep pretendin
