The living room of the wooden house felt warm despite the night breeze slipping through the cracks in the windows. A soft yellow lamplight bathed the small table and the modest sofa in a gentle glow. Renata sat beside her mother, Samantha. Dominic had deliberately given them space, choosing to wait in the back room—the one that used to be Renata’s bedroom before she left for college in the city.Samantha held her daughter’s hand tightly, her eyes still puffy from earlier tears. She gazed at Renata with a deep mix of love and worry.“Renata… are you really sure you’re ready for this marriage?” Samantha asked softly, her voice careful and hesitant.Renata stayed quiet for a moment. Her hand unconsciously drifted to her belly, which was beginning to feel heavier. Fresh tears welled up in her eyes, but this time she managed a small, fragile smile.“I’m ready, Mom,” she answered, her voice hoarse. “No matter what… the baby needs a father. I don’t want her born without a clear place in the

Dominic was stunned. The phone in his hand suddenly felt impossibly heavy as Renata’s words hung in the air. He sat frozen on the edge of the bed, the towel wrapped around his waist barely holding on. His breath caught in his throat while his mind struggled to process what he’d just heard.Invite them. I want all three of you… together.The words swirled inside his head like a storm. For a moment, Dominic was completely speechless.His gaze drifted. Suddenly, his mind pulled him back to a few weeks earlier, when Renata had accepted his proposal.***“I promise… I’ll take care of both of you,” Dominic had murmured, his voice low and full of determination. “No matter what happens.”Renata had cupped his cheeks, her eyes unusually pleading.“Daddy promises he’ll fulfill all my wishes?”“Yes, baby. Whatever you want, I’ll try to make it happen.”***And now, Dominic realized he was about to eat his own words.Back in the quiet apartment, he rubbed his face roughly. That promise slammed in

The luxury car glided to a smooth stop in front of Hotel Samantha Raya, one of the most exclusive hotels in the city center. The bright lights of the towering building dazzled Renata as she stared out the window. Her heart had been racing all evening, but now it felt completely out of control.Mira opened the car door with polite grace. “We’ve arrived, ma’am. I’ve been instructed to escort you only as far as the elevator.”Renata nodded slowly. Her legs felt weak as she stepped out of the car. The burgundy satin dress clung to her body, feeling shorter and tighter than ever. Every step made the smooth fabric brush against her skin, reminding her just how exposed she was tonight.The moment she entered the grand lobby, she felt countless eyes on her. A few men chatting near the reception desk fell silent mid-sentence. A bellboy nearly crashed his luggage cart because he couldn’t stop staring. Heat flooded Renata’s face. She lowered her gaze slightly, one hand protectively cradling her

Renata’s eyes fluttered open slowly. Her eyelids felt heavy, the world around her hazy and spinning in slow circles. Harsh white light pierced through, forcing her to blink several times before she could finally focus.The steady beep of a heart monitor filled her ears. The air smelled sharply of antiseptic. Her body felt utterly drained, as if every last ounce of strength had been wrung out of her.She was in a hospital.Renata frowned in confusion, her head still throbbing. The last fragmented memory she had was… the balcony. The cold night wind. Her body being held open, legs spread wide. The shattering cries of pleasure. Then everything went black.“Renata…?”The soft, worried voice made her turn her head weakly. Dominic sat in a chair beside her bed, looking exhausted and worn with concern. His hair was a mess, and he immediately reached for her hand, holding it with careful tenderness.“You’re awake,” he whispered, his voice hoarse. He pressed a kiss to the back of her hand, bre
