All Chapters of The Devil’s Bride: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Megan’s point of viewWe burst through sliding doors. The ceiling lights were so bright they hurt. Faces hovered—nurses, a doctor with gray at his temples, another with a messy bun under a cap. They talked to each other in words that sounded far away. “Megan,” the gray-templed doctor said, leaning into my line of sight. “I’m Dr. Reed. You’re at the hospital. You’re bleeding a lot. We need to act quickly. I’m going to ask you some questions.”I tried to focus on his eyes. They looked steady. I clung to that.“Any history of high blood pressure?” he asked.“No,” I whispered.“Any falls? Trauma?”I shook my head. Lila answered too, fast: “No. It started suddenly at home.”“Okay.” He squeezed my shoulder once—firm, human. “We’re going to do everything we can for you and your baby.”A nurse pressed paper onto a clipboard and put a pen in my hand. “Consent for emergency intervention,” she said. “C-section if needed. Blood transfusion if needed. I’m sorry for the rush.”My hand shook so har

Alexander’s POVThe hospital window was fogged from the cold night air. I stood by it, hands shoved into my pockets, watching the blurred reflection of myself instead of the city lights outside. The hum of voices echoed down the corridor—nurses, a doctor giving instructions, the shuffle of rubber soles on linoleum. But my mind was fixed on one thing: Megan.My phone buzzed in my pocket. I didn’t want to look, but I already knew who it would be. I pulled it out and saw his name.Victor.My father.Jaw tight, I swiped to answer.“Alexander.” His voice was sharp, clipped, and demanding. “I heard rumours tonight. They’re saying Megan went into labour. Tell me, was it a girl or a boy?”I pinched the bridge of my nose, pressing two fingers to my temple. The heat of anger started to pulse in my veins. “It’s not the time for this, Father.”“It is exactly the time,” Victor snapped, his tone growing darker. “You know what’s at stake. If it was a boy, then good. If it was a girl, then you must

POV: MeganThree days later, the hospital doors finally released me. The nurses smiled with polite pity as Alexander held the car door open, but I couldn’t meet their eyes. Pity was heavier than silence, heavier than the little box of baby clothes I clutched against my chest like a coffin of dreams.The ride back to the Zeus estate was suffocatingly quiet. Alexander’s hand rested on mine the whole way, but it didn’t thaw the ice forming in my chest.When the car stopped in the driveway, I expected the usual flurry of staff rushing out to greet us, their bows and cheerful “Welcome back, ma’am.” Instead, there was only silence. Two maids stood by the door, stiff as pillars. Their eyes flickered to me, then quickly away.I swallowed hard. The house that once felt alive now seemed like a tomb.Lila, sweet Lila, hurried down the steps, her eyes soft with concern. “Madam, let me help you with your bags.” She reached for the smaller case, her voice low, as though she too feared the air.“Tha

**Megan’s POV**Victor’s words struck me like lightning, my balance loosening. I felt Alexander’s hand gently caressing my back, owning me, sending, “ I’ve got you”. Tears fell down my eyes. It was the worst day of my life I fucking swear. Victor Wilson Zeus coming to my matrimonial home just to destroy everything I’ve gone through with Alexander. I got a miscarriage and he couldn’t even budge. He fucking came to my house to destroy everything instead. “ No, father. She’s my wife. We’re not doing this!” The husband I married finally spoke up in my defence. I was frozen in a dilemma as to whether Alexander’s words should give me hope or that Victor should dislocate my heart and body. Lila turned back for the stairs but Victor ordered her to be still, leaving her frozen mid-air. I didn’t dare speak. Victor’s words were as direct as they sounded. If he said I’m leaving his son’s house, then that’s it, the final blade to my heart. “ Your wife? What I said is a statement, not a req

Megan’s POVBut outside of this mask, something told me that Alexander was scared of his father’s warnings but just trying to hide it, for me, for us. Crazy… My baby boo bear! “ Alex! Alex?! We heard your new wife had a stillbirth, yeah? We just brought you a new wife and divorce papers for your failure wife. You still there?” Yeah right, it was the prestigious members of the Zeus family and Legacy, right here to teach my husband who to marry and how to produce an heir. Crazy shit!“ Stillbirth is an insult and disgrace to our family legacy, to the Zeus Legacy as a whole. You’re trying this again with the surrogate wife I just brought,” the head of the Zeus Legacy spoke, his eyes squinting in a dark curve, showing tiredness and betrayal. “ You can’t just hop into my house and do that. She’s my wife. I make the rules here. Uncle, when last did you come to this house? You usually only come when we have serious issues… are you implying that you came here just to complain about me and m
