Chapter 51

Lyssa POV The doctor settles into the chair beside my bed, his movements careful, and entle. “Lyssa,” he says softly, folding his hands. “It’s a good news." The room feels hot, suddenly too hot for me. I tug at the thin hospital blanket. “Am not dying anytime soon, am I?,” I say, my voice tight. At least that will be a good news to me. “You can just tell me whatever it is.” He takes a breath. “You’re pregnant. About two months along.” I chuckle out a laugh. The sound comes out sharp and sudden. “No. That’s not possible.” He doesn’t flinch. “The stomach pain you experienced was a reaction to the meal you ate. Something your body didn’t agree with in your condition.” “My condition?” I repeat, my chest beating too fast inside. “Doctor, I’m not pregnant.” He tilts his head slightly and smile. “Lyssa—” I never miss my pill. Never. I take it every night. Same time. Same brand. Zeta insists on it. My fingers curl into the sheet. He wanted me on it. He made sure of it. So how come th

Chapter 52

Lyssa POV After the pancakes, I feel my best friend on how I feel about Isabella. “There is no point in hating her,” I say, staring blankly and sadly at the empty plate on Anita’s kitchen counter. “That’s the worst part.” Anita leans back against the counter, arms folded, watching me closely. “You don’t have to hate her to feel threatened by her.” “I’m not threatened,” I say, then sigh immediately. “Okay. Maybe I am. But not in the way Zeta thinks.” I rub my temple. “She’s… perfect. Isabella is a perfect woman.” Anita arches an eyebrow. “Define perfect.” “She’s elegant. Calm. Fluent in multiple languages. She wins awards like it’s nothing.” I let out a humorless laugh. “She breathes accomplishments.” “And you?” Anita asks. I shrug. “I’m pursuing a master’s degree in computer science. I worked hard for it. But next to her?” I shake my head. “It feels small. Like it doesn’t compete.” Anita steps closer, her voice softer. “Lyssa, since when is life a competition?” “It isn’t,” I

Chapter 53

Lyssa POVThe anxiety makes me stay up all night, restless and uncomfortable, turning from side to side until the sheets are twisted around my legs. My body feels strange now, weak in places that never used to ache. Every time I close my eyes, my mind races, Zeta, Isabella, school deadlines, the baby, anxiety crushing me. My chest tightens every time that thought settles in my mind frequently.Anita is already in the kitchen.“I can’t sleep,” I tell her, my voice hoarse as I meet her in.“I know,” she says gently. “You tossed like you were fighting demons, it’s the hormones, you will be fine.”She’s cooked all kinds of soup, chicken, vegetable, something medicinal too, once she said her mother had told her it was good for pregnant women. The steam curls into the air. She sets a bowl in front of me and slides my pregnancy supplements across the counter.“Eat,” she orders softly. “And take your drugs. The vegetables is medicinal, it will help you.” I nod with no words, forcing a few sp

Chapter 54

Zeta POVI roll onto my back, the silk sheets cool against my skin, but my mind is worried. That sexual moment with Lyssa keeps replaying in my head, her soft gasps, the way her nails dug into my shoulders, how she whispered my name. It’s messing with my thoughts and I want to kiss her so passionately again and fuck her so hard she screams my name. I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to push it away, but today there’s no boardroom to hide in. No calls, no contracts, no excuses. It’s my first real off day in weeks, and the bed feels too damn big without her curled against me.I sit up, scrub a hand over my face, and glance at the empty side where she used to sleep. The pillow still has the faint scent of her vanilla shampoo. My chest tightens. I came home late last night, exhausted, half-dead from arguing with a client who couldn’t decide if he wanted to buy half of Manhattan or just complain about the view. I didn’t even check the guest room for her either. I just stripped, showered, an

Chapter 55

Zeta’s POVOut of nowhere, an old memory hits me hard again, I can see it so clearly, it almost feels real again.On this day, we were still little. She’s sitting right on the hospital bed, her small hands gripping mine so tightly on my sick bed. She holds on like she’s scared that the second she lets go, I’ll vanish forever. I’m the one who’s sick. burning up with fever, body shaking, teeth chattering. All because I acted like a silly child who believed nothing bad could ever happen to him. I had ran around in the pouring rain for hours, laughing, jumping in puddles, completely ignoring the cold that was sinking into my bones. And it made me fall ill.My mum stands a few steps away, talking quietly to the doctor but Lyssa can’t calm down. Not even a little. Her whole body is stiff with worry.“Zeta, don’t sleep,” she whispers. Her voice shakes so much it sounds like she might start crying any second. “Please don’t sleep.” As if scared, I might die from there. She was just a child.

Chapter 56

Lyssa’s POV Anita is staring happily at me when I finally stir from a long, relaxing sleep. I feel slightly better now. Her face is the first thing I see when my eyelids flutter open, her smile wide, relieved, excited, like she’s been waiting for me to wake, as if I’d slept for long. My head feels foggy, my body strangely light and heavy at the same time. “Hey,” Anita says softly. “There you are. You are awake. How do you feel now? I blink slowly and shift, then notice the thin I.V. attached to my wrist. Clear liquid drips steadily into my vein. My eyes move again, and that’s when I see a bouquet of flowers resting on the small table beside my bed. It looks fresh and colorful, carefully arranged. It’s my favorite colour. Are they for me? It’s been a while since someone gifted me a flower. Did zeta bring them? “Flowers?” my voice comes out hoarse. Anita nods. “Percy brought them.” She say. My brows knit together in confusion. “Percy?” She smiles quietly. “Yes. Percy. He re

Chapter 57

Lyssa POV Anita leans back in her chair, her eyes soft as she watches me wipe away the last of my tears. “Everything’s going to be alright, Lyssa,” she says gently, reaching out to squeeze my hand with care again. “Let me take care of Zeta for now. If he shows up here, I’ll speak to the hospital management myself. He won’t be allowed to see you, not yet. This isn’t the right time. You need space to breathe, to figure things out without him storming in and making it worse.” I nod, my chest still tight from our earlier conversation. Part of me wants to argue, to tell her to let him come if he does, but the exhaustion wins out. “Okay,” I say, sinking back into the pillows. “Just… promise you’ll tell me if he calls again?” “I promise,” she replies with a small smile, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. “Now, rest a bit more. The nurse mentioned brunch is coming soon.” We don’t talk much after that. When the food tray arrives, it’s simple, oatmeal, fresh fruit, and many more as

Chapter 58

Lyssa’s POV The room feels different in the evening. Everything is quieter, softer but though it does not feel like home. The machines still make low sounds, but they no longer feel scary. They fade into the background. Outside the window, the city lights blink one by one, glowing softly in the dark. I find myself half watching them, half lost in my thoughts, when the door opens again. “Lyssa.?” Percy’s voice comes first, warm and familiar, before I even turn my head. I smile right away, without thinking about it. “You’re back.” I say. “Of course I am,” he says easily as he steps inside. His coat is draped over his arm, and his movements are relaxed and confident. “I told you I’d come back.” He says. He comes closer and looks at me carefully, like he’s checking every detail of my face. “Once you recover fully, we’re going out for dinner.” There he goes again, dinner. I’m avoiding everything that would make me go out with him. I don’t want Zeta getting mad again. “Percy…” I

Chapter 59

Zeta POV I arrive at Nett Hospital with my jaw tight and my patience already thin. The glass doors slide open, letting out that familiar smell of antiseptic and urgency of some patients who were there and seated at the reception. This place is owned by my family doctor, Dr. Harlan, top-tier, and discreet. The kind of hospital people like us use when things get complicated. Only wealthy people can be seen here. I walk straight to the front desk. “I’m looking for a patient,” I say calmly. “Lyssa. Lyssa, my wife. You should know here.” I came straight here because i have a feeling Lyssa will be here and since it’s our family hospital, there is no other hospital she would be in. The nurse types, frowns, then types again. “I’m not seeing that name, sir.” My brows pull together. “Check again.” She does. Slower this time. “I’m sorry. There’s no Lyssa admitted today.” I lean closer, lowering my voice. “You might have her under emergency intake. Please confirm this.” I say. Another

Chapter 60

Zeta’s POV But then again, it hit me. I scold myself. How stupid of me? How could I act like that in front of Percy? The thought needles at me as I stand in the hallway, my reflection faint in the glass wall. Jaw tight. Pride loud enough to drown out common sense. I replay the moment over and over—my tone, my distance, the way I walked out like Lyssa’s pain was an inconvenience instead of my responsibility. Percy would use that against me. He would take this exact moment and turn it into a story where he’s the calm one, the caring one, the man who stayed. And I’m the cold husband who couldn’t be bothered. I hate that I handed him that opportunity so easily. I exhale sharply, dragging a hand down my face. Apologize. Care Stay. That’s all Anita wanted from me to Lyssa. That’s all Lyssa needed. And it’s exactly what I failed to give. I straighten, resolve, settling heavy in my chest. I meant what I promised Lyssa on our wedding night, that if we ever fall apart, even if we ever
