Pregnant For My Husband’s Father のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 181 - チャプター 190

Clara’s POVThe moment I stepped into the throne room, I felt it.The tension.It pressed against my skin like heat before a storm, thick and suffocating. Every seat was already filled. Council elders sat in a wide circle, their faces hard and judgmental. Guards lined the walls, hands close to their weapons. Nobles whispered among themselves, their voices sharp with curiosity and hunger for scandal.Kate was already there.She stood in the middle of the hall, dressed in black from head to toe, mourning clothes so perfect they looked rehearsed. Her veil rested lightly on her face, just transparent enough for everyone to see her grief. Or what she wanted them to believe was grief.My lips curled slightly.Then my eyes met his.The king.He looked terrible.His skin was pale, almost lifeless, as if all the strength had been drained from him. The powerful aura he usually carried, the one that made people bow without being told, was weak, flickering like a dying flame. His shoulders were t

Clara’s POV“Why are you so sure Amelia killed him?” I asked, my voice sharp and steady.“Were you there? Did you see her do it with your own eyes?”Kate opened her mouth.“No… but I know—”I cut her off immediately.“No, you don’t,” I said coldly. “What you know is what you want to believe.”I turned slowly, making sure everyone in the hall could hear every single word.“You said you wanted the person who killed your son,” I continued. “I am standing right here, confessing. Yet you still refuse to accept it.”I stepped closer to her.“Instead, you keep accusing Amelia. A woman who just lost her husband.”I paused, letting that sink in.“Are you trying to use this as an excuse to get rid of her?” I asked calmly. “Because everyone here knows you’ve always hated Amelia.”Murmurs began to rise.“But accusing her of killing her husband?” I scoffed. “That’s low. Even for you.”Kate’s face twisted in fury.“And let’s not forget,” I added, my voice growing louder, sharper, “Amelia is carryin

Elena’s POVIt had been a week.Seven long, miserable days.And everything had gone wrong.So wrong that sometimes I wondered if the world itself had turned against me.Kate, the queen we all believed was dead, had appeared out of nowhere like a ghost crawling out of the grave. Clara, a nobody, a homeless girl we once tolerated out of pity, was now sitting on the throne as the king’s wife. Klaus was dead. Amelia was pregnant. Clara was also claiming to be pregnant for the king.And Ethan…Ethan had not come home.Seven days.Seven nights.Not a single call. Not a single text. Not even an excuse.Ever since I killed his secretary, he had disappeared like smoke into thin air.She was nothing. Just a worthless human. A disposable thing. I couldn’t understand why he was still angry about it. Secretaries could be replaced. Humans could be replaced.But Ethan couldn’t.I had called him countless times. Sent messages I never got replies to. At some point, I realized the truth, I was blocked.

The King’s POVI saw Clara leaving my room with a smile on her face.That smile.It wasn’t soft. It wasn’t sweet. It was sharp, like she knew something I didn’t, like she had just won a game I didn’t even know we were playing.She walked past me as if I didn’t exist.As if I wasn’t the king.As if I wasn’t her husband.Something in my chest snapped.I reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back before I could think better of it.“What’s it?” she asked, clearly surprised, her brows lifting slightly.I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out.“Hm… uh… I…” I stammered, and the moment the sound left my mouth, I hated myself for it.Why was I nervous?Me. The king. The one everyone feared.Yet standing in front of her, my thoughts tangled, my heart beat too fast, and my words refused to come.She tilted her head, studying me like I was something interesting.“The almighty king is scared to talk to me,” she said with a teasing smile. “Isn’t that surprising?”I bit my lip hard

Author’s POV“I can’t believe that bitch tried to kill me.”The voice came from the shadows, low and furious.Kate stepped forward, the dim light catching the sharp edge of her smile. “I warned you,” she said calmly. “I told you to be careful. Those two sisters are evil, just like their mother.”“Lucky for me, I wasn’t even in the room,” the voice replied. “If I had been, I’d be the one lying there dead.”Kate narrowed her eyes. “Then how did Kai end up on the bed instead of you?”The man stepped fully into the light.Klaus.“I went clubbing that night,” he said casually, as if he were talking about something trivial. “I didn’t want anyone to know I wasn’t in my room. So I begged Kai to cover for me. We’re identical twins, no one can tell us apart. I knew no one would notice.”Kate inhaled slowly. “So Amelia thought she was killing you… when it was Kai.”“Yes,” Klaus said, his jaw tightening. “She killed him, not knowing it wasn’t me.”For a moment, silence filled the room.“I should
