The Billionaire's Rebel Fiancée Chapter 131
Zayn's POVI woke up on my wedding day to Enzo knocking on the bedroom door with coffee and looking far too awake for six in the morning."Why are you here so early?" I took the mug and sat up, disoriented."Because left to your own devices, you'll spiral and convince yourself you still have time, you can work on some projects this morning." He sat in the chair by the window. "Plus I brought you something."He handed me a small box and when I opened it, I found Marcus's cufflinks inside. The silver ones he'd worn to every important event, engraved with his initials.My throat felt tight and I was lost for words for a moment."Father would be proud," Enzo said quietly. "Of who you've become, of choosing Adriana, of everything.""I wish he was here." The words came out rougher than I intended."He is." Enzo gestured toward the window that overlooked the city. "In the garden where you're getting married and the promises you're making,. That's his legacy, not the company or the money. The

Adriana's POVThe night before my wedding, I was at Sage's apartment and couldn't sit still.My dress hung on the back of the closet door in its garment bag, the simple silk I'd chosen looked so delicate to be real. Sage had picked up the flowers earlier, white lilies and roses that would somehow transform Marcus's garden into the place where I became Zayn's wife.Maya had flown in from London that afternoon and the three of us were sitting in Sage's living room with wine for them and sparkling juice for me because apparently pregnant women couldn't have any fun."I can't believe you're getting married tomorrow," Maya said, curling her legs under her on the couch. "It feels like yesterday you were crying in our dorm room about Drake's accusations.""Please don't remind me of that nightmare the night before my wedding." I took a sip of juice that tasted nothing like champagne no matter how fancy the bottle looked."Sorry, but it's true." She smiled. "You've come so far from that scared

Zayn's POVTwo weeks before the wedding, Adriana was still sad about Apex but she'd started working on the job offer she got through the consulting opportunity and that felt like progress. I watched her work on proposals at the kitchen table and tried to be supportive without hovering, which was harder than it sounded.Connor called midweek and asked if we could meet for coffee. He sounded nervous which immediately made me curious since Connor was never nervous about anything.We met at a café near the office and he was already there when I arrived, stirring his coffee in circles and staring at nothing."Okay, what's wrong?" I sat down across from him."I'm proposing to Sage next week and I wanted you to know first."I grinned. "This is great, Connor. Really.""How do you know she'll say yes?" He looked genuinely worried. "What if I've completely misread this and she's not ready?""Have you talked to her about marriage?""Not directly, but we've talked about the future and she mention

Adriana's POVI woke up knowing I had to call the Apex company and the weight of it sat on my chest.Zayn was making coffee when I came into the kitchen and he looked at me with this careful expression like he was trying to figure out how I was doing without asking directly."I have to call them today," I said.He set a mug in front of me. "Do you want me here when you do it or would you rather be alone?""Stay with me. I don't think I can do this by myself."We moved to the living room and I sat with my phone in my hand for what felt like hours but was probably only five minutes. The recruiter's number was already pulled up, all I had to do was press call.Zayn sat beside me reading on his tablet but I knew he wasn't actually absorbing anything because he kept glancing at me."What if I'm making a mistake?" I asked suddenly.He set down the tablet. "What do you mean?""What if I could still do it and I'm just being scared? What if in five years I look back and hate myself for giving

Zayn's POVI broke every traffic law to get home. When she entered and I noticed how puffed her eyes were, I was scared. When she told me she was pregnant and handed the result to me, I skipped through the medical jargon until I saw: Positive pregnancy test. Estimated gestational age: 6 weeks.My first instinct was to grin like an idiot. A baby. Our baby. But when I looked up, her face stopped me cold.She wasn't smiling. She looked wrecked."Say something," she whispered.I sat down next to her but didn't touch her yet, wasn't sure if she wanted that. "How are you feeling?""How do you think I'm feeling?" It came out sharp. "I just got my life back, Zayn. I finally had a plan that was mine and now my body decided to blow it up.""Okay.""That's it? Just okay?""What do you want me to say?" I asked carefully."I don't know! Maybe that you're upset too? That this ruins everything? Something other than just sitting there being calm.""I'm not calm, I'm trying not to make this worse by s
The Billionaire's Rebel Fiancée Chapter 126
Adriana's POVThree weeks before the wedding, I woke up nauseous.Not the gentle kind of queasy that comes from bad takeout. This was different, rolling through my stomach in waves making me break out in cold sweat.Zayn was already in the shower. I lay there breathing carefully through my nose, willing it to pass.Wedding nerves. Oh yes! It'd be wedding nerves.By the time I got out of bed, the nausea had settled into a dull ache in my lower abdomen. I brushed my teeth and the mint toothpaste made my stomach lurch again."You okay?" Zayn appeared in the doorway, towel around his waist, hair dripping with water."I’m fine. Just didn't sleep well." I forced a smile and pushed past him to the shower.The hot water helped. I stood under the spray longer than necessary, trying to convince myself I felt normal.At Sage's office, I made it through the morning by sheer willpower.Around eleven I went to the bathroom and sat in the stall staring at my phone calendar.My period was three days
