The Billionaire's Rebel Fiancée Chapter 129
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
The Billionaire's Rebel Fiancée Chapter 128
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
The Billionaire's Rebel Fiancée Chapter 125
Zayn's POVFour weeks until the wedding.I woke up to find Adriana at the living room window in my t-shirt, bare feet on the cold floor, coffee mug steaming in her hands. Her hair was still wild from sleep and she hadn't bothered with a robe even though the apartment was chilly.I grabbed the blanket from the couch and wrapped it around her shoulders from behind, then pulled her back against my chest.She jumped slightly. "God, your hands are freezing.""Sorry." I slid them under the blanket anyway, around her waist."Liar. You're not sorry at all." But she leaned into me, her weight settling against mine because she belonged there.We stood watching the city wake up. A delivery truck rumbled past below. Someone across the street was doing yoga on their balcony. Normal Thursday morning things."You're thinking loud," she said after a while."How do you know I'm thinking?""You do this thing." She reached back and touched my jaw. "Your jaw gets tight when you're in your head."I relaxe
The Billionaire's Rebel Fiancée Chapter 124
Adriana's POVI woke up the morning after accepting Apex to the smell of coffee and something sweet baking. Zayn's side of the bed was already empty, and the sheets were cool to touch.When I walked into the kitchen, I found him at the stove flipping pancakes while humming something I didn't recognize. It was the first time I'd heard him hum since Marcus died.He looked up when I entered and smiled. "Morning babe. Sit down, breakfast is almost ready."The kitchen table was set with plates and mugs, and in the center was a small bouquet of bodega flowers. Not fancy, just cheerful yellow daisies in a water glass."What's all this?" I sat down, still half asleep."Congratulations on your dream job." He set a plate in front of me, pancakes perfectly golden, fresh strawberries on the side. "I wanted us to celebrate properly."We ate together while morning light streamed through the windows. He asked about the team I will be working with at Apex, what frameworks I wanted to build first, how
