Pregnant For My Ex-Fiancé’s Father 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 101 - 챕터 110

VIV’S POVI stirred awake to the shrill ringing of my phone vibrating on the nightstand. Blinking against the dim light filtering through the heavy hotel curtains, I reached for it blindly, my fingers fumbling against the smooth glass screen.Martha’s name flashed across it.Groaning, I sat up, feeling the heavy weight of my belly shift uncomfortably. My hand instinctively cradled the mound under my loose nightshirt. It was day two since I left home and already, the loneliness, the discomfort, and the sheer irritation were gnawing at me.I swiped to answer. "Hello?" My voice was groggy but laced with urgency."Vivienne," Martha’s prim voice came through, laced with triumph. "I have it."I sat straighter. "You have it?""Yes. I made a brief recording when I tried to kiss Kaelon," she said breathlessly. "He pushed me away before I could, but it’s clear in the video. Clear enough."I pressed my palm hard against my chest, feeling my heart thudding. "That’s enough, ma'am," I said quickly,

LIV’S POVThere was something about Saturday mornings that always made the world feel a little softer, a little slower, like it was trying to apologize for all the madness of the week. I sat back into the plush cushions of the booth, nursing a warm cup of caramel latte between my palms while the familiar chatter of my friends buzzed around me like a comforting symphony.Lara, predictably animated, waved her hands dramatically in the air as she launched into yet another story about that same poor soul at her firm who had apparently committed the cardinal sin of trying to buy her lunch."You guys, you should have seen his face," Lara said, tossing her sleek black hair over her shoulder with a flourish. "The audacity! He just assumed that because he’s Mr. Big-Shot-Lawyer, I'd be swooning over a soggy sub sandwich he brought over like it was the crown jewels."Rose chuckled, swirling her mimosa lazily. "What did you do? Tell me you did something savage."Lara’s lips curled into a mischiev

VIV’S POVI watched through the large window as Liv stormed out of the café, her back stiff with fury, her hands clenched into trembling fists.Damn it! That was satisfying.A grin pulled at my lips as I reached for my cup of latte, the scent of roasted beans and vanilla cream filling my nose. I deserved a proper breakfast, damn it. After the miserable morning I'd had, burning the waffles I made, then throwing them up thanks to this parasite growing inside me. I needed something good.I lifted the cup halfway to my mouth, savoring the idea of finally tasting something that didn’t make me sick, when a flicker of movement caught my eye.I blinked.Liv. Again.Charging back into the café like a little storm wrapped up in designer jeans and entitlement.I barely had time to set my cup down before she was standing right in front of me, her face flushed, eyes wild. Her chest heaved as she glared at me like she wanted to rip my head clean off my shoulders."Care for some breakfast now?" I d

KAELON’S POVI slammed my office door shut behind me, the heavy oak rattling in its frame. My jaw was tight, my fists even tighter. Every step I took toward my desk echoed with barely contained fury. I needed to calm down before I did something I would regret like ripping apart the next person who dared to cross me today.Throwing my suit jacket across the back of the chair, I sat heavily behind my desk and immediately grabbed my phone. Fingers flying across the screen, I called one of my security teams.“Get me everything you have on the incident at the café earlier. I want every angle. Every second. No cuts.” My voice was low, controlled, but beneath it, the threat simmered.“Yes, President Blackwood. We’re already on it,” came the immediate, clipped reply.Good. They knew better than to drag their feet when I was like this.I had barely ended the call when a sharp knock came at my door.“What is it?” I barked, not in the mood for pleasantries.Louisa, my secretary, cautiously pushe

LIV’S POVI sat frozen, blinking at the screen as Kaelon’s voice echoed from the television. My chest rose and fell like I’d just sprinted a mile uphill. His words, every syllable, struck something deep inside me."I am in love with Liv Bennett. I have been for a long time. And I will not let baseless rumors, cheap scandals, or anyone's petty vendettas come between us.”The room around me vanished. I barely heard the gasps from Rose and Lara as the words reverberated through the silence that followed."Did you know about this?" Rose’s voice broke through first, surprised but sharp.I opened my mouth, but no sound came out. My fingers gripped the throw pillow on my lap like it was the only thing tethering me to the earth.Lara turned toward me, eyes narrowed. "Liv, say something. Did you? Did he tell you he was going to say that on national TV?"My throat felt dry. I shook my head slowly, eyes still trained on the screen where they replayed the moment like it was breaking news. My face
