Chapter 1 - YES, I’m pregnant

The scent of antiseptic filled the small hospital room. Tessa’s hands trembled as the nurse smiled, holding the ultrasound report like a fragile promise. All she could hear was the pounding of her own heart. Months of pills, hormone injections, and doctor visits had drained her both physically and emotionally. And now, maybe… a flicker of hope. Maybe, finally, a chance to give her fiancé what he wanted: a child. Their child. “Congratulations, Miss Quinn.” The nurse smiled. “You’re pregnant.” “Yes!” Tessa squealed. “I’m finally pregnant with Grayson’s baby!” A shaky breath escaped her lips and her eyes sparkled with hope. Finally. After all the heartache and desperation, she could give Grayson the baby he wanted so badly. The baby who would secure his place as heir to Thorne Industries, just like Grayson’s father’s will had demanded. This wasn’t just about her anymore. It was about survival. She clutched the report close, imagining Grayson’s smile, the relief flooding his

Chapter 2 — Not His Baby?

The knock on Tessa’s door came sharply in the dead of night, shaking her to her bones. Her heart thudded painfully as she raced down the stairs of her small apartment. “Tessa,” Grayson’s voice called out, low and rough. “Please, open up.” Grayson—what the hell was he doing here? “Tessa, I know you’re in there. Please open the door, let’s talk.” She pressed her back against the wall, her breath caught in her throat. After everything—his insults, the way he pushed her away, the cold cruelty—she wasn’t about to just let him back in. “What do you want, Grayson?” she yelled, her voice shaking. “Go away.” “Please,” he begged, desperation bleeding through the door. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said any of that.” She swallowed hard, torn between anger and something stubborn inside her that still wanted him. “Please open the door, Tessa, let’s talk.” He begged again. She took in a deep breath, her heart racing in her chest. She walked slowly to the door, yanking it open with

Chapter 3 - I Hate My Fiancé

“Okay, Tessa, you have to tell me, what’s really going on?” Her best friend, Gina, said as she sat across from her. “You’ve been off since yesterday.” “It’s... It’s not Grayson’s baby, Gina,” Tessa said, her voice low. “The hospital called. There was a mix-up. Someone else’s sperm was used.” Gina’s eyes widened. “What? Wait, are you serious?” she asked, shocked. Tessa nodded, her voice breaking. “I’m serious. I don’t know what to do. I’m so confused. And terrified.” “But... what does that mean? What are you going to tell him?” She shook her head, swallowing hard. “I don’t know. I can’t tell Grayson. Not like this. He’ll think I’m lying. Or I cheated. Or worse... He’ll hate me. He’s obsessed with having an heir.” Gina leaned back, sighing. “That’s a lot to carry, Tessa. But you have to do something about it. What if he finds out for himself?” “If he finds out, it’ll destroy everything. And not just with him... his mother, his family — they won’t stop until I’m broken.” “

Chapter 4 - The Contract

Roman Blackwood sat in his office, his fingers drumming against the polished desk. The night went on behind him, like the world didn’t give a damn about the chaos swirling in his life. His phone rang, breaking the silence. Caller ID flashed: Saint Mercy Hospital. He answered, trying to keep his temper in check. “Roman Blackwood.” “Mr. Blackwood, this is Nurse Fletcher from Saint Mercy Hospital. I’m calling with an urgent matter regarding your sperm sample.” His brows drew tight. “Go on.” “There was an error during a recent insemination procedure. Your sperm was mistakenly used on a patient named Tessa Quinn, without your authorisation.” Roman’s jaw clenched as he sat straight. “What kind of fucking mistake is that?” “I’m terribly sorry, sir. It was a mix-up in the storage lab. We’re investigating how this happened, but the procedure was carried out, and the patient is now pregnant.” The room suddenly felt too small, suffocating. His voice dropped low, dangerous. “We realise th

Chapter 5 - Teach You A Lesson

Tessa pushed open the glass doors of the hotel, her hands trembling as she walked down the marble stairs. When she looked up, Roman was staring at her like he’d just made a deal he regretted. She had signed the contract. She had gotten more compensation than she had ever imagined. And when the time came, he would take the baby. This was supposed to be good, she told herself. “Tessa,” Roman called out. “I’ll be leaving now.” One of his bodyguards opened the car door for him. He slid in, adjusting his dark glasses. Then his eyes narrowed, a flicker of realization crossing his face. “What happened to your lips?” he asked darkly. “What do you mean?” Tessa tried to sound confused. “Your lips are bruised,” he said, reaching up to tilt her face so he could inspect her. “What happened?” Her fingers brushed over her lips, and the sting burned into her flesh where Grayson had hit her. “It’s nothing,” she said quickly. “I fell, that’s all.” He looked at her like he knew she was lying but

Chapter 6 - We Need To Talk

Grayson’s hand tightened around Tessa’s neck. Her fingers clawed at his wrists, nails digging into his skin, but he still didn’t let go. Her eyes burned, spilling tears she couldn’t stop. “You’re going to pay, Tessa,” he hissed, his voice low and venomous. “You and that bastard in your belly.” “Get your hands off her!” her father barked, swinging at him. Grayson barely flinched. He shoved her father back onto the bed so hard the rails rattled. “Somebody—” her father’s voice cracked, raw and desperate. “Somebody help! Please! Help us!” The shout tore through the hospital walls. A door down the hall slammed open. Footsteps pounded. Grayson’s hands dropped away like he’d been caught at a crime scene. The door swung open and two nurses rushed in—one shoving between Grayson and Tessa, the other grabbing his arm. “Sir, you need to leave—now!” “I’m not done with her!” Grayson roared, struggling against their hold as more staff appeared. His voice rose into something wild and unhing

Chapter 7 — Don’t Lie To Me

Tessa moved to the door slowly, buying herself seconds she didn’t have. Roman stood in a dark coat, his presence filling the narrow porch. His eyes swept over her, unreadable, sharp enough to strip her bare. “What are you doing here?” she asked, keeping her tone flat. “We need to talk… now.” “Yeah? About what?” She folded her arms. “I thought we agreed that until the baby—” “I noticed your calls,” he blurted out. She blinked, stunned by his sudden change in tone. “It was a mistake.” “Twice is too much for a mistake.” His gaze dropped to her arm—the one she kept folded against her body. “What’s the problem?” he asked. “Nothing.” “Don’t lie to me.” His voice cut through the air like steel. He pulled her closer, tugging up her sleeves, his eyes darkening at the bruises. “Who did this to you?” he demanded. “It’s nothing,” she shrugged. “Would you stop with the damn lies?” he snapped. “Just stop it.” “What do you want, Roman?” she asked, pulling away from him. He drew in a de

Chapter 8 - Spiralling

Roman stood at the edge of his balcony, the night air doing nothing to steady the pounding in his chest. The file Davin had brought was still clutched in his hand, his knuckles white against the sides. A few things in life had the power to shake him. But this? This had him cold to the bone. He scanned the page again, his eyes catching on the same line repeatedly like it was mocking him. Name of ex-fiancé: Grayson Thorne. The name hit like a blow. His eyes tracked it twice, three times, before reality locked into place. Grayson. That bastard. Of all the men in the world… it had to be that arrogant, two-faced, shit-head of a stepbrother. The paper burned in his grip. His skin felt too tight for his body, the air around him pressing in until he didn’t know if he wanted to laugh, rage, or punch his fist through the wall. “How the fuck did this happen?” he growled, throwing the file over the railing; the papers scattered like petals in the wind. “Are you sure this is accurate?” he

Chapter 9 - Roman And The Thornes

“How dare you set foot into this house?” Eleanor’s voice cut through the room like glass. Roman met her glare without flinching. “Well, it’s nice to see you too, Eleanor,” he said, stepping further in. “I kind of like what you’ve done with the place.” He smirked, taking in the newly changed environment. “You are not welcome here,” she snapped, moving forward. “Mother!” Grayson yelled, making her pause in her steps. “Wait.” Roman raised a brow, his eyes locked onto Grayson’s for the first time in years. Grayson stepped forward, adjusting the collar of his shirt. “Well well well,” Grayson said, a smirk crawling across his face. “Look who decided to show up.” “It’s nice to see you, too, brother,” Roman smiled. “You look worse than the last time I saw you. You good?” Grayson’s jaw tightened. “Still hiding behind cheap insults, I see.” “Cheap?” Roman chuckled. “Coming from the man who threw a tantrum so loud I heard it before I even walked in.” Grayson’s smirk faltered. A flicker

Chapter 10 - Meet The Blackwoods

“Tessa, I’m not asking you again,” Roman snapped, standing like a wall in the middle of her tiny living room. “You don’t get to barge into my life and make demands,” she shot back. “This isn’t your house. You don’t own me.” His jaw flexed. “Well, I’m not leaving you here.” “And why not?” she challenged. “Because you suddenly care? Because you think you can take me wherever you want?” Roman stepped closer, lowering his voice but not his authority. “I’m not leaving you, because this place isn’t safe. That’s all you need to know.” “That’s not an explanation, Roman. That’s a threat.” “Take it however you want, but you’re coming with me,” he snarled. She shook her head, refusing to listen to him. “No. You can’t just storm in here and decide my life for me.” “I’m not deciding anything, I’m simply asking you to listen to me.” His shoulders rose in anger. She stared at him like he thought this was some scene out of a movie. Still, she didn’t move. “So help me, Tessa, if I h
