Lahat ng Kabanata ng Pregnant For My Ex-Fiancé’s Father : Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Aaron’s POVThe dim light of the room didn’t do much to help my mood, but then again, I wasn’t here for comfort. I was here for answers, and I wasn’t leaving without them.I slammed the door shut behind me, the sound reverberating through the apartment. My hands gripped the edges of the counter, knuckles white, as I tried to force my thoughts into some semblance of order.Liv had disappeared. Disappeared.Chris, who had been lounging on the couch, glanced up at me with a raised eyebrow. “You’re pacing again, man.”I shot him a glance, trying to mask the fury that was bubbling beneath the surface. "I don't get it, Chris," I muttered, turning back to stare out the window. The city sprawled before me, cold and indifferent. "Why the hell would she leave her mom’s place like that? Just up and vanish without a word?"Chris sighed, rubbing his hand through his messy hair, clearly not as affected by the whole thing as I was. "She’s a grown woman, Aaron. Maybe she needed space. You can't keep

Kaelon’s POVThe office was dead silent, save for the soft hum of my computer and the occasional click of keys from Evelyn, my ever-efficient personal assistant. I’d been here for hours—too many hours—but that was nothing new. In the business world, time didn’t care about boundaries, and neither did I. It was all about getting the job done, and right now, there were a lot of things that demanded my attention.“I’m heading out now Sir,” Evelyn called, her voice cutting through the quiet. She always had that energetic, upbeat tone, even at this late hour.I glanced at the clock on my desk and it was already forty-five minutes past nine PM. It was late enough that I figured I could give her a pass for leaving. Most people would have gone home an hour ago, but I wasn’t most people. Evelyn knew that.“Alright, go ahead. I’ll be here for a bit longer.” I didn’t even look up from my work. I could feel her eyes on me, though. She always had that way about her, like she was weighing whether

Kaelon’s POVI watched her walk away. She stepped out of the car like she was made of something far stronger than the heat that hovered in the air between us.My fingers still tingled from the brief touch we shared, the slight but undeniable spark that flickered when she pulled away. But I didn’t stop her. I didn’t want to seem desperate. But damn, I wanted to stop her.I wanted to keep her with me. I wanted to hold her—just for a second longer. But I didn’t. Instead, I watched her retreat, the sound of her heels clicking on the sidewalk the only reminder of her presence.As soon as I heard the door open and close, I blinked, snapping back to reality. “Let’s take you home,” I muttered, looking at the slight bulge on my pants. The drive was quick and I arrived at my mansion, just well above midnight.I stepped out of the car, the cool night air hitting my face. It felt good, but it didn’t ease the tension in my chest. Not at all.Inside, the house was silent, as it always was when

Liv’s POVIt was the last day of the week. I could feel the excitement bubbling inside me as I walked into the office, my mind buzzing with the knowledge that today would mark the culmination of everything I’d been working for. The designs were done. The presentation was ready. And this was my moment.The elevator ride to the top floor felt unusually long, every floor taking me closer to the decision that could change everything. I clutched my portfolio tightly, my fingers gripping the leather edges like a lifeline. As the elevator dinged and the doors slid open, I took a deep breath and stepped out, smoothing down my blouse with one hand while the other held the heavy weight of my work.The boardroom was where it all was to happen. A few people from the team already sat at the table, their faces a mix of curiosity and anticipation. I could see Kaelon sitting at the head of the table, his intense gaze already fixed on me. His presence seemed to dominate the room, but today I had my

Kaelon's POV As we walked towards the room, I could not help but notice how flushed she looked.I don't know how we managed to keep our hands off each other for this long, but I wasn't going to deny myself and her the pleasure of being together this weekend.I wasn't going to think of Aaron or work.I want her to feel how much I care about her.“Are you okay?” I asked, my voice breaking the silence.She glanced at me, her gaze lingering for a moment before she answered with a simple, “Yeah. I’m good.”But I knew she wasn’t. It was in the way her eyes shifted slightly away from mine, how she avoided meeting my gaze. She was holding back something. I was starting to realize that Liv had layers, things she wasn’t ready to share with me yet. But I couldn’t rush her, I knew that. Whatever we were building between us, it had to come in its own time.I reached over, brushing my hand against hers. “The spa should help you relax. It’s what you need. Just take the night slow, Liv.”She met m
