Ken stood outside Lisa's apartment pacing like a restless child.His palms were damp, and his heart kept pounding as though it wanted to break free from his chest. He raised his hand and knocked again, each thud echoing louder than the last in the quiet hallway.

Inside,Lisa sat curled on the sofa, hugging a throw pillow. The television was on, but she hadn't been paying attention to it. When she heard the knock , her brows furrowed instantly.

“Oh, God. What does he want now?” she muttered under her breath. She had promised herself she was done with antics, yet here he was pounding on her door like the building was on fire.

She stayed still at first, hoping he would give up and walk away. But the knocks grew louder, sharper, more insistent. After the fourth knock, Lisa slammed the pillow aside and stood up with a heavy sigh. “ Fine. lf it's a fight he wants, he'll get” she grumbled, storming toward the door.

When she yanked it open, her eyes narrowed instantly at the sight of him. Its h

  • Unexpectedly His   Chapter Forty one: The Return of Bella

    Chapter Forty one : The Return of BellaIt was 10 o’clock in the morning. The sun was calm, slipping gently through the white curtains in Lisa’s living room. She had decided not to go to the office that day. Her spirit just wasn’t in the mood for the usual stress. Instead, she chose to work from home.Her table looked simple but well-arranged. A cup of hot coffee sat beside her notepad and pen, while her laptop camera was on a virtual meeting in progress. Lisa looked stunning in her casual outfit: a cream-colored blouse tucked into a pair of jeans, her hair tied neatly, and a pair of glasses sitting perfectly on her nose.She spoke with confidence, her voice calm and professional as she discussed figures and deadlines with her client. Everything about her that morning carried a mix of focus and quiet elegance.Just when she was about to round up the meeting, her doorbell rang. The sound came sharp and clear, interrupting her flow.Without looking up from her screen, Lisa said softly,

  • Unexpectedly His   Chapter Forty: Shadows of the Unexpected.

    Chapter Forty: Shadows of the UnexpectedKen could barely sleep that night. The call from the doctor kept echoing in his mind like a drumbeat he couldn’t silence. Every time he shut his eyes, his thoughts wandered back to that brief, polite voice on the phone “Mr. Ken, please come by my office tomorrow. There’s something I’d like to discuss.”It sounded simple, but something about the doctor’s tone unsettled him. Why would the hospital call him out of the blue? He wasn’t owing any bills, and his last check-up had gone smoothly. Still, the thought of hospitals always made him uneasy. Maybe it was the smell of disinfectant or the quiet hallways that reminded him of loss. He sighed deeply, turned over on his bed, and muttered to himself, “Whatever it is, I’ll face it.”By morning, he tried to shake off the worry. He fixed a light breakfast and spent most of the late morning cleaning around the house to keep his mind occupied. Around 2 p.m., he decided to step out to the supermarket nearb

    lChapter Thirty Nine: A New BeginningTwo weeks later.It was a quiet Saturday morning, and Ken had just finished arranging a few things around the house. The living room was spotless, and everything looked in order. He walked into the bathroom, humming softly as he brushed his teeth. The house felt unusually calm, just the way he liked it on weekends.Suddenly, his phone started ringing from the bedroom. At first, he ignored it, thinking it might be one of his business calls. But when the ringing persisted, he rinsed his mouth quickly and walked out to check who it was.The moment he saw the caller ID, his expression changed. It was the doctor from the hospital.Ken’s heartbeat quickened a little. He grabbed the phone and answered immediately. “Good morning, Doctor.”“Good morning, Mr. Ken,” the doctor said in a cheerful tone. “I have some good news for you. Miss Mercy just completed her test this morning, and it came out positive. She’s pregnant.”For a moment, Ken stood frozen, th

    Chapter Thirty Eight : Silent DecisionLisa stood frozen in Ken’s office, her eyes wide with disbelief. For a few seconds, she couldn’t even find the right words to respond. “Ken…” she finally managed to say, her voice almost breaking. “Did you just say you applied for a surrogate?”Ken, who had been leaning casually against his desk, looked completely calm. A faint smile played on his lips as he replied, “Not just that, Lisa. I’ve already applied, and they’ve found a perfect match for me.”Lisa blinked, still trying to process what she had just heard. “You can’t be serious,” she said, frowning deeply. “I thought you were joking when you mentioned this before. I never imagined you would actually go through with it.”Ken walked over to the window, his hands tucked in his pockets, and looked outside. “Lisa, I told you I wasn’t joking that day. I meant every word. I’ve made up my mind about this.”She crossed her arms, frustration slowly replacing her shock. “Ken, this is a bad idea. You

    Chapter Thirty-Seven — A New BeginningIt was a calm evening, around 8 p.m. The soft sound of clinking plates echoed from the dining area as Mr. Walter, Ken’s father, finished his dinner with Ken and Lisa. The house help was clearing the table while the three of them walked toward the sitting room. The mood in the house was warm and peaceful, but underneath that peace was a silent sadness Mr. Walter was traveling the next day, and everyone could feel the weight of his absence already.They settled into the large living room, the gentle hum of the ceiling fan filling the silence. Mr. Walter adjusted his reading glasses, looked at his son with seriousness, and said, “Ken, you’ll be keeping an eye on my staff—my driver, the security men, and the house help. You know how some of them can be careless when I’m not around.”Ken nodded slowly, his face calm. “Sure, Dad. I’ll do that.”“I’ll be gone for six months,” his father continued, his voice calm but firm. “You have to make me proud in m

  • Unexpectedly His   Chapter Thirty Six: A Heart That still feels

    Chapter Thirty Six: A Heart That Still FeelsAfter Kunle left her sister’s house, the silence that followed seemed to have a life of its own. Faith could hear it — heavy, slow, and deep — as if the walls themselves carried the weight of her thoughts. She had just finished taking her evening bath. Her hair was still damp, and the faint scent of her lavender soap lingered in the air as she walked toward the sitting room. Her sister, Nkechi, had called for her, saying she wanted to talk.Faith adjusted the strap of her robe and walked in quietly. The sitting room was warmly lit, the television on low volume, playing an old movie no one was watching. Nkechi sat on the couch, holding a glass of fruit juice. Her face looked calm, but Faith could tell she had something heavy on her mind. Without a word, Faith sat beside her, folding one leg under the other.“Faith, my dear,” Nkechi began softly, her voice carrying a familiar warmth, “you’ve always had the kindest heart since we were children
