The Wild Virgin (HER POV) chapter 38
I had long stopped expecting Ram to prepare even the smallest gesture for this day. Hope had been wrung out of me, drop by drop, until there was nothing left but resignation. Why would he bother? From the beginning, he had made it painfully clear that the only reason he married me was because of the baby, nothing more, nothing less. I was not a wife to him, not a partner, not a woman to be cherished. I was merely the vessel that carried his child, and if he could make my life miserable along the way, then that was simply a cruel amusement for him.And yet, in the hidden corners of my heart, I still wondered. A foolish part of me whispered that maybe, just maybe, there would be a sign, one small gesture, even a fleeting kindness, that would tell me I wasn’t completely invisible. But the day stretched on in silence, and I had learned long ago that silence was the only gift he intended to give me.Sometimes, when the weight of this reality became too heavy, I tortured myself with thought
The Wild Virgin (HER POV) chapter 37
“Lexie Stevens, are you sure about this?”Claire’s horrified voice cut through the air like glass shattering, sharp enough to slice right into my chest. It was the very question I had been dreading, the one I couldn’t bear to answer out loud, because the truth was a wound too raw to expose.For a heartbeat, I said nothing. My lips curled into a sad, fragile smile, the kind that belongs to a woman who already knows she’s lost the war before the battle even began.“N-no…” The word tumbled out of me in a whisper, trembling, broken. A sigh followed, heavy and jagged, as though it dragged every shattered piece of my heart along with it. “I’m not sure at all. God, Claire, I’m not sure of anything anymore. But what choice do I have? I love him, God help me, I love him so damn much. Maybe that’s the cruelest part. Because love… love isn’t enough. Not anymore. He doesn’t respect me, not like he once did. He’s slipping away from me with every look, every silence, and I feel it, it’s like watchi

Ram's POV“What the hell did you do to her, Jordan?”The slap came first, sharp and stinging, the sound snapping against my ear before the burn spread across my cheek. For a moment, the echo felt louder than the strike itself, rattling through me like punishment I already knew I deserved.Claire stood in front of me, Lexie’s cousin, her glare blazing with so much fury I half expected it to scorch straight through my skin. I couldn’t even blame her. If the roles had been reversed, I’d have done worse.I had called her using Lexie’s phone, told her she was in the hospital, but I hadn’t bothered explaining what had happened. The truth was I didn’t know how to explain it, or maybe I just hadn’t wanted to.“She collapsed,” I muttered at last, forcing my face into stone, flattening my voice so it carried no feeling. If I let even the smallest crack show, Claire would have torn me apart.But my attempt at indifference only fueled her rage.“She’s pregnant, you asshole!” She shoved me, her wo
The Wild Virgin (HER POV) chapter 35
Ram’s POVLexie’s pregnant.The words wouldn’t leave me. They circled, relentless, pounding in my skull until I thought I’d lose my mind. I could shove them down, drown them in fury, but they always came back. Louder. Heavier. Each time they landed, they left me more unsteady than before.And always, the same question followed.Who the hell is the father?That single thought was enough to gut me. To strip me raw. I hated it, hated myself for even asking, hated her for putting me in this place. I had given her everything. My time, my trust, my goddamn heart. And yet here I was, forced to wonder if the child she carried inside her belonged to me, or to another man.My grip tightened on the wheel until my knuckles blanched. The truth, ugly and stubborn, pressed into me with no mercy. It could be mine. I knew it. We had spent too many nights tangled together, too many hours locked in a hunger that left no room for anyone else. Denying that possibility was impossible.But Rafael’s shadow w
The Wild Virgin (HER POV) chapter 34
I slipped into a white cotton dress, its simple fabric draping loosely over me, soft against skin that had felt raw for days. It wasn’t glamorous, but it was clean, crisp, and somehow kinder than the shapeless clothes I had been drowning in lately. Over it, I pulled a cream coat, the tailored seams giving the illusion of structure, as though fabric alone could hold me together where my spirit had splintered.Sliding my feet into flat shoes, I left my hair loose. The strands fell in soft waves over my shoulders, catching the light as though mocking the shadows clinging to me. The looseness framed my face, blunting the sharpness grief and sleepless nights had carved into me.When I finally lifted my eyes to the mirror, I almost startled. A stranger looked back at me, a woman whose lips curved in the faintest, most reluctant smile. Melancholy, fragile, fleeting. I wasn’t glowing, not radiant, not anything close to the girl I used to be. But for the first time in weeks, I didn’t look like
The Wild Virgin (HER POV) chapter 33
“Come on, eat something.”Claire’s voice cut through the haze in my head like a whip, slicing straight through the silence that had wrapped itself around me. I startled, realizing how long I had been staring at the plate in front of me, spaghetti, the one thing I’d begged for earlier, the one thing Andrew had forgotten to order, and the very same dish that had nearly reduced me to tears when it finally arrived.My fork dangled between my fingers, limp, abandoned over the tangled noodles. I hadn’t taken a single bite. The food sat untouched, its scent curling into the air, turning my stomach instead of tempting me.“I don’t have the appetite,” I muttered, pushing the plate away as if the very sight of it was too heavy to bear.“No.” Claire’s reply came like a steel blade, firm, carrying the authority of someone who had played both sister and mother to me more times than I cared to admit. She shoved the plate back toward me, her eyes burning with a mixture of irritation and desperate co
