Semua Bab Pregnant For My Ex-Fiancé’s Father : Bab 71 - Bab 80

VIV’S POVWhatever the fuck my father said that made me come here? It needs to be recorded and kept on a constant replay. The crisp morning air carried a whisper of autumn as I stepped out of the towering office building, my heels clicking against the pavement. The interview had gone smoothly—expected, considering my father had arranged this internship months ago. It was merely a formality, another move in his grand chess game. But this particular firm had ties to Blackwood Corporation, which meant occasional visits to the empire that had once been my world.I didn’t linger on that thought. My phone buzzed just as I reached my car. The name flashing across the screen made my heart lurch. Az. The investigator.I exhaled sharply and tapped the message open: I have something. It’s big. This will destroy her, but Blackwood Corp goes down with her. Do you still want it?My fingers tightened around the phone as a thousand possibilities rushed through my mind. What could he have found t

KAELON’S POVThe office was quiet except for the faint hum of the air conditioner and the rhythmic tapping of my fingers against the polished wood of my desk. The city skyline stretched out beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, but my focus wasn’t on the view. It hadn’t been for days.“No, Kaelon. I can’t do this. I can’t be part of a lie. If you can’t trust me enough to be honest with me, then I don’t know what we’re doing here.” Her voice kept replaying in my head for every single time I wanted to work or turned to look at the sofa. She was almost everywhere and that was eating me up.I was trying to work. Trying to lose myself in the endless reports and figures in front of me. But no matter how many contracts I approved or how many meetings I scheduled, one thought remained—Liv.I had done this to myself. I had been the one to suggest going public, to push the conversation that sent her retreating like a deer startled in the woods. I had been reckless, and now she was gone. And it

LIV’S POVThe plan was to spend the next two weeks at my fathers ranch. I never really planned for any of these. No fucking person ever does!I had entered my car after a couple of hugs and goodbyes with Rose, Lara and Vio. I drove off.The road ahead blurred through the veil of unshed tears clouding my vision. My fingers clenched around the steering wheel as I forced my foot off the gas, the car slowing to an uneasy stop on the side of the deserted road. My pulse hammered in my ears, drowning out the hum of the engine as I reached for my phone, already dreading what I’d see.The screen glowed in the dim interior of the car, displaying countless notifications—texts, calls, news alerts. My breath hitched as I opened the first link.KAELON BLACKWOOD AND LIV CARTER’S SHOCKING AFFAIR—SHE DUMPED THE SON FOR THE FATHER!A strangled sob clawed its way up my throat. My trembling fingers scrolled down, past the cruel words and the damning images splashed across the page. Pictures of me and

AARON’S POVHow the fuck could he have done that? I stormed out of my father’s office, still wondering what the hell was happening to my life. In a moment, I proposed to Liv, next we’re organizing a party, next Viv comes, next Liv calls off our wedding and next she’s fucking my father. “FUCK!” I slammed my fist into the wall nearby. My fists clenched so tightly that my nails dug into my palms, sharp pain barely registering over the raw fury burning inside me. I needed to breathe. I needed to think. But the more I walked, the angrier I became.I wanted answers, and I wanted them now.I took a sharp turn down the hallway, my destination clear. I would find Liv, and she would tell me that all of this was a lie, that she hadn’t betrayed me in the worst way possible. That she hadn’t discarded me like I was nothing.But when I reached her office, I was met with an empty desk and a nervous-looking assistant who shifted uncomfortably under my glare."Where is she?" My voice came out harshe

KAELON’S POVI sat in my office, staring blankly at the swirling ice in my untouched glass of whiskey. The silence around me was deafening. The weight of Liv’s absence crushed my chest with every passing second. I had lost her.And it was my fault.My phone buzzed, snapping me from my thoughts. I grabbed it, half-hoping it was Liv, but it was Evelyn, my assistant."Sir, I just got word that Aaron’s condition has stabilized. The doctors want to speak with you."I let out a heavy sigh, rubbing a hand down my face. “I’ll be there in ten minutes.”I grabbed my coat and left, my steps heavy as I made my way to the hospital. When I entered Aaron’s room, he was lying on the bed, his eyes closed, his face pale. The doctor stood at the foot of the bed, glancing up as I approached.“President Blackwood,” the doctor greeted. “Your son had a severe breakdown. His anger escalated to a dangerous level, and we had to sedate him to prevent further harm.”I swallowed the lump in my throat. “What’s the
