All Chapters of Carrying The Alpha's Child: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

He could barely concentrate on anything as flashes of last night haunted him. Ava, smiling, her eyes gleaming with that familiar look of victory. Her body pressed against his, waking up next to her, the smell of her perfume still clinging to his skin. It was wrong. Every single part of it.He felt sick. His own wife, and yet it felt like a betrayal—to Bella.He had fallen for Ava’s game, one he should’ve seen coming from miles away. A single drink, and suddenly, everything was a blur. Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to piece it all together. His mind kept cycling back to the feeling of waking up in that bed, naked next to Ava, knowing he had fallen into her trap. It wasn’t supposed to happen, not anymore. Not after he had made up his mind about wanting a divorce.His marriage to Ava had been over in his heart for months. She was someone he had once loved, but now the very sight of her filled him with dread. But it wasn’t just the death of their marriage that weighed on

For two days, Lucas had been stuck in a suffocating silence. Each time his phone buzzed with a message or a call from Bella, his stomach twisted with guilt, forcing him to ignore it. He didn’t know what to say, how to face her after what happened with Ava. His thoughts were a tangled mess, and every time he tried to make sense of things, it felt like he was sinking. It wasn’t like he’d cheated on Bella—technically, she wasn’t even his girlfriend—but it sure as hell felt that way.He wasn’t proud of how he’d handled things. Bella had every right to be angry, confused, and hurt. But the weight of his own shame had kept him paralyzed. He didn’t want to face her, not yet. Not until he could figure out how to explain something he wasn’t sure he could even explain to himself.Now, standing outside the hotel where Bella was staying, Lucas could feel the tension tightening his chest. He was here to take her to the doctor’s appointment—a necessary check-up to ensure that she and the baby wer

Lucas Stone buried himself in work. It was the only thing that made sense right now, the only thing that didn’t crumble beneath him like the rest of his life. He was Lucas Stone, after all—a man with an empire to run, employees who depended on him, deals to close. The outside world could not afford to see him falter, not even for a second. So, he didn’t falter. Not in public, at least.His office became his sanctuary, the only place where he could escape the storm brewing in his personal life. He didn’t go home to Ava, and more importantly, he stayed far away from Bella. It was easier that way, or so he told himself. If he didn’t see Bella, he wouldn’t have to face the mess they’d gotten themselves into.Each day, Lucas arrived at the office earlier than anyone else, sometimes before dawn, and stayed long after everyone had left. He buried himself in paperwork, in meetings, in conference calls. He set his mind to fixing the company’s problems, expanding his empire, and making more mon

Ava walked into the hospital with her mother, an unusual spring in her step. She was glowing with anticipation, her entire demeanor was bright, as if she was finally about to get what she had been longing for—validation that her plan was falling perfectly into place. After all, she had done everything right. The fertility injections, the timed seduction of Lucas—it all felt like the universe was finally conspiring in her favor.Her mother, ever the calculating mastermind behind many of Ava’s actions, placed a comforting hand on her shoulder as they approached the reception desk. “This is it, Ava. Soon, you’ll be carrying Lucas’ heir, and Bella will be nothing but a bad memory.”Ava smiled, the thought of finally securing her place in Lucas’ life, their life, filled her with a sense of triumph. The surrogate had been an annoyance, but now that Bella was out of the picture—or soon to be, Ava thought with a smug grin—the baby would cement their relationship.This is how it's supposed t

Lucas arrived at Bella’s hotel earlier for the hospital appointment. He didn’t know why. Or maybe he does.He misses bella so much it hurtsHe found himself standing in front of her door, his heart hammering in his chest, the same way it had every time he saw her.The door opened, and there she was—Bella. Her soft, brown eyes locked onto his immediately, and for a moment, everything else in the world seemed to blur out. She was beautiful, glowing in a way that was both subtle and overwhelming. His entire body tensed as an electric pull surged between them. It was like gravity itself had shifted, drawing them toward each other in a way that felt as inevitable as it was dangerous.He cleared his throat, forcing himself to step back a bit, to maintain his composure, but it was harder than ever. There was something about the way Bella looks at him today—an unspoken ache in her eyes, a silent longing that mirrored his own. He knew she felt it too. How could she not?“Morning,” he said, hi
