The reluctant vow Chapter 189
The morning light spilled lazily through the curtains, painting the bedroom in soft gold. Zara lay on her side, pretending to scroll on her phone, though her mind was already working. Regan had mentioned earlier in the week that he needed to go into the office, but she hadn’t heard him bring it up again. If today was going to work, she needed him out—completely out.She shifted on the bed, her tone casual, almost teasing.“Didn’t you say you had some office work to handle this week? Why not just go today?”Regan, still in his T-shirt and lounging against the headboard, glanced at her with mild disinterest.“I’ll go later. I’m not in the mood to drive right now.”Zara smiled faintly, leaning closer as if suggesting something sweet rather than plotting something calculated.“But if you go now, you’ll be back earlier… and then we can actually have the evening together. No work calls, no emails. Just us.”He studied her for a moment, then gave a small shrug.“You always find a way to get
The reluctant vow Chapter 188
The soft light of morning spilled through the curtains when Regan finally appeared in the bedroom doorway. His suit jacket was slung over one arm, his tie loosened just enough to betray fatigue, but his shirt remained crisp—as though even exhaustion couldn’t dull his precision.“Morning,” he said, his voice low, almost gentle.Zara smiled faintly from where she sat on the edge of the bed, her hands resting on her belly. “Morning. You were in there all night?”He nodded, running a hand over his jaw. “Deadlines. I’ll catch up on sleep later.”She let the silence hang for a moment, then said lightly, “I was thinking… maybe I could clean up your study for you. Give you a fresh space to work in.”Regan’s brows lifted, then drew together. “Clean the study? Zara, we have people for that. You’re not supposed to be straining yourself.”“I’m not made of glass,” she countered, her tone deliberately casual. “Besides, I do nothing all day. A little tidying will be good for me. Pregnant women need
The reluctant vow Chapter 187
The sky blushed in shades of gold and rose as the sun dipped low, painting the Kareem mansion’s garden in a gentle, amber light. The air smelled faintly of jasmine, and the gravel crunched softly beneath their steps as Regan and Zara strolled side by side, fingers loosely entwined.Neither spoke for a while, letting the evening’s calm settle over them like a warm blanket. The last few weeks had been a storm; now, this moment felt like the eye — still, fragile, and precious.“I can’t wait to see their face for the first time,” Zara murmured, her free hand resting protectively over her belly.Regan glanced down at her, his expression softening. “I’ve been thinking about… after. Once the baby is here, maybe we could spend a few months somewhere quiet. No noise, no trouble — just us.”Zara’s lips curved into a smile. “Somewhere peaceful sounds perfect.”They spoke of little things — a nursery painted in warm creams and gold, family dinners, the way they would balance their dreams with par
The reluctant vow Chapter 186
Next morning The morning air at the Kareem mansion was crisp and gentle, carrying with it the faint scent of freshly watered jasmine from the balcony garden. Zara sat curled into the cushioned wicker chair, a soft blanket draped over her legs, her hands wrapped around a steaming cup of chamomile tea. The sunlight filtered through the leaves, painting golden patches across her silk robe, and for the first time in days, her mind felt… unburdened.Her phone vibrated against the small table beside her, its cheerful ringtone breaking the quiet. She glanced at the screen and smiled instantly — Kemi.She swiped to answer, bringing the phone to her ear.“Madam Kareem!” Kemi’s voice exploded through the speaker, brimming with playful energy. “Guess what’s happening in exactly one week?”Zara chuckled, already knowing where this was going. “Let me guess — you’re finally learning how to cook without burning the kitchen?”“Ha-ha, very funny,” Kemi shot back. “I’m talking about your maternity sho
The reluctant vow 185
The office was unusually loud that afternoon — phones ringing, printers whirring, and the low hum of chatter. Imani sat at her desk, fingers drumming against her phone instead of typing. She had been staring at Nathan’s name in her contact list for almost ten minutes.The urge to hear his voice was almost physical.Finally, she inhaled deeply and pressed “call.”The dial tone stretched in her ear. Once. Twice.On the fourth ring, his voice came through, flat and cautious. “Imani.”She closed her eyes, savoring just hearing him. “Nathan… please don’t hang up.”“I’m listening,” he said, but there was no warmth.Her throat tightened. “I made a mistake. I—I let anger and pride ruin everything. I should’ve trusted you, stood by you… but I didn’t. I pushed you away when you needed me most, and now I just—” her voice cracked, “I just want us back.”Silence.When he spoke again, his tone was firm. “Us? Imani, there is no us. You made your choice. You made it more than once.”“I know, but I’ve
The reluctant vow Chapter 184
The late afternoon sunlight spilled into the room, painting the walls in soft gold. Regan sat on the bed with his back propped against the headboard, his arm draped lazily around Zara’s shoulders. She lay curled against him, her head resting on his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. It was a rare kind of peace — the kind that felt fragile, like any sudden sound might shatter it.They’d spent most of the day together like this, talking about nothing and everything.“So,” Regan said, brushing his thumb absently over her arm, “have you thought about names yet?”Zara smiled. “I have a list. But I’m not telling you yet because I know you’ll veto half of them.”“Me? Never,” he said, pretending to look offended. “As long as it’s not something like… Sparkle or Thunder.”She laughed, swatting his chest lightly. “Relax. No fruit names either.”He grinned, then reached down to rest his palm gently on her growing bump. “Boy or girl, I just want healthy. But… I still want to k
