One month later.

Bella laid on the examination bed in the small hospital room, the paper sheet crinkling softly beneath her.

The doctor glanced down at the file, flipping a page before looking back up.

“You mentioned nausea in the mornings?” he asked.

Bella nodded once. “Mostly in the mornings. And… sometimes at night.”

“Any dizziness? Fatigue?” he asked.

“…Yes,” she answered quietly.

He hummed quietly, jotting something down. “When was your last cycle?”

Bella hesitated, the answer catching sli

  • The Billionaire's Rejected Twins   Chapter 13

    Valentina was already at the penthouse that same day when Lorenzo walked in, sitting at the kitchen island with her laptop open and a coffee going cold beside her. She looked up when he came in, her gaze steady and quietly observant.She watched him cross the room.“You’re quiet,” she said, glancing up from her laptop as she studied him carefully.“I’m always quiet,” he replied, reaching for the bottle without looking at her.“You’re a different kind of quiet,” she said, closing the laptop slowly, her eyes staying on him.He poured himself a drink and didn't respond.Valentina let her hand rest on the laptop for a moment before looking up at him fully. “Who is she?”He turned around. "What?""The way you just walked in here." She said it without heat, almost conversationally, which was worse than if she'd raised her voice. "I've seen you stressed about business. I've seen you tired. This is something else." She picked up her coffee. "So. Who is she?"“No one,” he said flatly, his expr

    Evelyn had slept in two-hour intervals, waking from each one with her hand reaching for her phone.She was seated at her dressing table now, her makeup artist working quietly beside her, pressing a concealer beneath eyes that had no business looking this tired.Evelyn watched herself in the mirror with the detached focus of someone running calculations."You're tensing your jaw ma'am" the makeup artist said softly."I'm aware." Evelyn said dryly.Her assistant, Priya, was standing near the door with a tablet, waiting. Evelyn had already given her three instructions before eight in the morning, each one delivered at a pitch slightly too sharp for the hour."The number," Evelyn said. "Where are we with it?""Still working on the trace ma'am.” Priya adjusted her grip on the tablet. “My contact said by...”“I said noon, Priya.” Evelyn’s eyes stayed fixed on her reflection.“Yes, I know.” Priya swallowed lightly. “I’ve told him but....”“Tell him again.” Evelyn reached for her lipstick whi

    Three Years LaterLorenzo had been sitting with the same drink for twenty minutes, the glass turning slowly in his hand. Marcos was talking while Ethan was laughing at something. The piano in the corner was playing a song nobody was listening to."You’ve been sitting there with that face for twenty minutes,” Marcos said. “What’s wrong with you?”"He's engaged now," Ethan said, leaning back. "Misery is ceremonial it seems."Lorenzo didn’t smile. He only glanced at them, expression unchanged.Marcos watched him for a second. "You're with one of the most beautiful women in this city and you're sitting here like someone ran over your dog."“Valentina’s fine,” Lorenzo said, turning the glass in his hand. It sounded less like praise and more like a completed obligation."That’s genuinely the least enthusiastic thing anyone has ever said about their fiancée,” Marcos said, staring at him for a second before taking another sip of his drink.Ethan swirled his glass. “Three years later and you s

    The clinic doors slid open and Lorenzo walked her through, his grip firm on her upper arm. Not quite painful, but close enough to send a clear message.Bella tried to slow her pace, a small resistance, but his fingers tightened instantly, pressing into her skin without him even glancing her way.That was enough for her to understand.This was about control, and he would go as far as necessary to protect his name and keep it.The staff knew him. That was the first thing Bella registered, the way the woman at the front desk looked up and nodded before he even reached her.It felt planned. Like everything had already been set in motion long before he showed up at her house.Bella had to quicken her steps just to keep up with him."Wait..." she said. But he didn't slow down. Bella looked at the doors they passed, the small plaques on the walls, and something in her chest started pulling tight."Lorenzo please stop..." She tried pleading again But Nothing. He didn't even give a glance ba

    Bella stared at the words until they blurred. The entire situation had finally caught up to her.A few seconds later, an unknown number called. Bella hesitated, her thumb hovering over the screen before she finally swiped to answer. There was silence at first, just a faint line of static, before a voice came through.“You got the message.” It was Lorenzo. No introductions or explanations.“Now come downstairs.”Then the call ended immediately after, cutting off any chance for her to respond. Bella remained still for a moment, the phone still pressed to her ear, as the silence returnedTo confirm it was real, Bella moved to the window and looked outside. A black car sat at her porch.That was enough. She stood there for a moment, letting the reality settle in, before slowly opening her door. She walked down the stairs and stepped outside, each movement controlled but heavy with awareness.The car was waiting exactly as she saw it, the door already open as if it had been expecting her.

    Lorenzo pushed through the glass doors, his steps measured but deliberate. The receptionist at the front desk looked up when he approached. She was young, with tired eyes and a pen tucked behind her ear like a weapon she might need to use. Lorenzo placed his phone on the counter. The screen showed a photo of Bella captured from surveillance footage his men managed to find. "This woman," he said. "Was she here today?" The receptionist glanced at the photo. Then back at him. Her smile faltered. "Can I ask why you're..." "Was she here." Not a question. His voice dropped low, stripped of any pretense of politeness. The girl must have heard something in his tone because she dropped the polite routine entirely. "...Yes. She came in this morning." Lorenzo pulled the photo back slowly. His thumb traced the edge of the screen where Bella's face had been. "Who saw her?" "That would be Dr. Mensah, but he's with a patient right now and I can't just..." "When he's done." He said i
