Semua Bab RIGHTFULLY MINE : Bab 171 - Bab 180

OWEN'S POVI woke up tired, my chest already tight. The space beside me was empty and cold. That was where Zoe used to sleep. Where she curled into me. Where everything still felt possible.Now it just felt like proof that yesterday hadn’t been a nightmare. It was real. All of it.I didn’t sleep. I couldn’t. I kept hearing her voice in my head. Telling me nothing was going to change. Telling me she was tired. Broken. Done.I heard faint sounds beyond the bedroom door—suitcases dragging, soft footsteps, boxes shifting. For one heartbeat, I wished it was a normal morning. Jamie getting ready for school. Zoe humming in the kitchen, cooking breakfast.But it wasn’t.I got up and walked to the living room. The sight was painful, even though I already knew.Boxes. Suitcases. Everything was arranged neatly.Jamie was dressed for school, sitting quietly with his backpack in his arms. He wasn’t asking questions. He wasn’t complaining. He was just… trying not to make things harder for his mom.

ZOE'S POV “Zoe,” Owen said, his voice cracking.“Will you marry me?”I stared at him, surprised. My heart raced.“Owen,” I whispered, “Are you serious?”He nodded.“I’ve never felt more sure about anything,” he said softly. “I almost lost you today, Zoe. I don't want that to happen again.”“Please, marry me.”My eyes filled with tears, but I didn’t bother to wipe them.“Yes” I whispered, my voice breaking, “Yes. I will marry you, Owen.”He sighed in relief and pulled me into a hug. “Thank you, Zoe.”I could feel his heartbeat on my face.“I thought I had lost you,” he said softly. “I thought it was over.”“It wasn’t,” I murmured. “I'm still here.”After a moment, he pulled back slightly and wiped a tear from my face.He smiled, then he looked thoughtful for a second. “How about next weekend?” he asked softly.“Hm?” I blinked.“We can get married next weekend.” He looked into my eyes. “A small ceremony. Just us, Jamie, a few close friends and whoever you want. I don’t want to wait a

OWEN'S POVAfter Chloe left my office, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.I just had to make that professional decision but personally I had a feeling that Chloe might actually be innocent. All the details, evidence pointed to her, but something in my head told me not to ignore the possibility of her being innocent.It wouldn't hurt to look into this further, if she was actually guilty then my mind will be at least free from the doubt.For now, I had to get my mind off it and focus on something more important. Zoe. Our wedding.‘In a few days, Zoe is finally going to be my wife.’ I smiled at the thought. After working for some hours, I stepped out of the office to go pick Zoe up.As I passed by the front desk, I paused and thought of Chloe again. She was really making an effort and getting good at her job.‘Was she pretending? Or was she wrongly accused?The doubt kept eating at me all through the drive to Zoe’s office.****************I tried to relax and smile

ZOE'S POV I woke up feeling nervous and excited.I laid there for a moment, staring at the ceiling with my hand on my stomach.Owen and I are getting married today.After all we went through, we’re getting the life we’d always wanted.As my hair was being styled, I looked in the mirror and a calm feeling filled me.I remembered when I first opened my eyes in that hospital and saw Owen. I had no idea who he was but somehow I felt like I could trust him.I never thought that man would be the one I'd be marrying today.I smiled slightly and touched my stomach.Then the door swung open.“Mommy!” Jamie entered in his suit, looking so excited. “Are you ready yet? Can we start now? Should I help?”Everyone laughed.“You’re already helping,” I said “You’re the ring bearer. That's important.”He giggled as he climbed onto the chair beside me. “I won’t drop them. I promise.”“I know,” I said and kissed his forehead.He couldn't sit still and he kept asking questions before someone carefully to

OWEN’S POVI felt the bed shift beside me. I thought it was just Zoe turning in her sleep. Then I heard my name, very softly.“Owen…”There was something in her voice that woke me up instantly.I sat up and faced her. She stood at the edge of the bed, holding the sheets with one hand and the other on her stomach.Her face was pale and she looked scared.“What is it?” I asked as I climbed out of bed.She didn’t respond immediately. She looked down.That’s when I saw it.Blood.Running down her leg.My heart seemed to stop for a moment.Fear hit me hard, but I didn’t show it. I couldn’t. Zoe was already panicking, I had to stay calm.“I’m here,” I said quickly as I moved toward her. I put my arms around her to keep her standing. “Hey. Look at me. Breathe.”She started crying, holding onto my shirt.“I don’t want to lose the baby,” she cried. “I can’t lose our baby, Owen.”“You won't,” I said firmly, even though my heart ached. “You won't lose anything. You're both going to be fine.”I
