Semua Bab RIGHTFULLY MINE : Bab 151 - Bab 160

ZOE'S POV I just finished cleaning when my phone rang.Owen’s name flashed on my screen.“Hey” I said softly.“Hey” he replied in a calm voice. “How are you this morning?”I blew out a breath. “Much better actually.”“I told Jamie he won’t be spending weekends with his dad anymore. He took it better than I thought.” I said.“He might’ve sensed it coming,” Owen said on the other end. “Kids catch on to things easily. He must’ve sensed that things weren’t okay between you two, but didn't know how to put it in word.”He sounded comforting but it still hurt inside. Jamie's too young to have to deal with that.“I only want him to be happy and have a honest childhood,” I whispered.“You’re doing your best” Owen said. “How about lunch tomorrow? You both could use some time to relax after everything.”I hesitated. I wasn’t in the mood but I knew Owen is trying to help. “Alright,” I said finally. “Jamie would like that.”“Are you sure?” he asked “The last time, he didn’t look happy to see me.”

CHLOE'S POV I stopped outside, looking at the logo on the wall before going in. I didn’t get a proper look at the one at Zoe's office.My hands were a little wet, I took a slow breath. The lady at the front smiled softly, she clearly knew I was coming.Owen had given me an actual job.She handed me a small visitor tag and called someone upstairs, her tone crisp and professional. “You’ll be working with our reception team,” she said with a friendly nod. “Someone’s coming to get you.”I walked behind a tall woman down a wide hall with glass walls, quiet voices, and the soft tapping of keyboards. I felt their eyes on me, curious. A few people looked up, whispering quietly. I didn’t have to guess why. Some of them probably recognised me from the video.I kept my eyes ahead. If I ignore it, maybe they’ll stop paying attention.A woman introduced herself as Claire, the head of department. She showed me around, explaining what I'd be doing. It all sounded straightforward until she pulled up

OWEN'S POV Zoe parked near the terminal, and we sat still for a moment. Jamie was in the back, eyes half closed, holding his stuffed panda. “I’m going to miss you champ,” I said and faced him. He looked at me, yawning a little. “You’ll come back soon?” “Promise.” I pushed his hair back, smiling. “Until then, you’re in charge here. You make sure your mom eats her breakfast and gets some rest, okay?” He smiled slightly. “I will.” Zoe laughed softly, turning to me. But I knew she was sad. I squeezed her hand. “Thanks for driving me.” She shrugged. “It’s nothing.” “It’s not nothing” I said quietly. “I know how early this is. Just… take care of yourself, okay? And don’t skip meals. Promise me that much.” She rolled her eyes but nodded. “I promise. Just call me when you land.” “I will.” Our eyes met. I leaned in and kissed her forehead, then stepped out of the car. When I was walking in, I looked back. Zoe’s face filled the car window. Her hand rose in a small wave. I smiled a

ZOE'S POV I was in the kitchen pouring a glass of juice for Austin when my phone rang. Owen.My chest tightened a bit, I guess it's not that easy to keep a secret.I breathed in and put my hand on my chest to calm myself.“Hey, how are you feeling today?” His tone was gentle.“I’m fine,” I said softly, my hand went to my stomach without thinking. “I took your advice and got enough rest yesterday. It really helped.”“Good, that's good. You do sound better.” He sighed in relief. “How’s everything over there? How's Jamie?”“All good,” I said lightly. “Jamie’s keeping me busy, as always.”“How's it going with the wedding plans and the memorial?” I asked.Owen’s voice was soft but I sensed hesitation in it. “All good. The wedding is tomorrow and I've made preparations for my mom's memorial.”He paused, “I just… I need a favour. I feel bad for having to disturb you on a weekend but it’s urgent, and you're the only one I can trust to help me.”I smiled at the softness in his voice, that's

OWEN'S POVI rested on the fence, looking at the lights below. I heard music and laughter from inside but my mind wasn’t there.Seeing Alexis again reminded me of the past.The fear when I thought I was not going to see Zoe again.But I had said what I needed to say to Alexis. And I said it because I finally could. Because she couldn't hurt Zoe anymore. She could never set foot in Sydney again. Zoe was safe. And we were building something real.My chest softened at the thought of her.Going home to her.Hearing her answer, whether she’d say yes.I really hope she will.My phone vibrated and I smiled slightly. It had to be Zoe.But then I looked at the screen.The smile died instantly.Austin? What the hell would he want?I answered anyway. “Hello?”Austin sounded… cheerful.“Hey, man. I just wanted to say congratulations.”I blinked. “For what?”“You’re going to be a father too,” he said happily.My stomach dropped.“What are you talking about?”“Oh—uh—Zoe. She’s pregnant. And I thoug
