Author's POV His hand moved, sliding to her lower hip. With a swift motion, he flipped her over his shoulder, stealing the breath from her lungs, her stomach slamming against his shoulder.She gasped at his sharp move and contact, but it quickly got replaced by her scream.“What are you doing?!” she cried, kicking and thrashing. “Put me down!”Now the panic was flowing through her veins as she struggled in his grip, her fists hitting against his back as hard as she could. “Let me go!” she screamed, her voice trembling with fear.But his grip only tightened. A sharp slap landed on her ass, making all her struggle freeze.The sound echoed in the room as a warning. The sharp stinging sensation spread across her ass, making her wince in pain.“If you don't want to make your ass bright red, then behave,” his voice rang out, making her body completely stiff from the warning.“Don’t make me punish you more than I already plan to.” His voice was growling now.His tone was like a gun loaded an

Vincent’s POV I may be driving the car, but my whole focus is on her. My eyes keep drifting to her every single move. She shifts in her seat again, restless, as if the car is suffocating her.Her hand moves to her stomach as she clutches it.“Stop…” The word barely leaves her lips before I slam the brakes and pull the car to the side without a second thought.Before I can ask anything, she pushes open the door and stumbles out of the car. My own door swings open as I rush behind her, my heart pounding inside my chest.She is taking heavy breaths, her whole body shaking as she tries to steady herself. An ache starts to form in my chest, as if a knife has been dug into it. My hand quickly finds her waist, pulling her against me.On the surface, I may look calm and collected. That’s what people always see in me. But inside? I’m breaking apart. I don’t know how to handle this, how to make it easier for her.My eyes land on her pale face. Her eyes are unfocused. I cup her cheek, my thumb b

Author’s POV The room fell into complete silence. Aria’s breath caught in her throat as the doctor’s words sank deeper and deeper. Her hands trembled, her heart pounding in her chest, one word echoing continuously in her mind.Pregnant?Where Vincent’s face remained untouched by the words, as he was still trying to process what the doctor had said, she was a mess while he was calm.The doctor adjusted the papers in his hand, his tone turning serious.“However, it’s a complicated pregnancy,” he continued gently. “Your body, Mrs. Sullivan, is not responding the way it should. There is a higher risk of miscarriage.”“The baby is already facing difficulties in growth,” the doctor added carefully, glancing between them. “It has been about a month now, and this will be a complicated case. I could suggest that you be more careful, knowing it will be hard for both of you… but all we can do is hope for the best.”The doctor left with a strength-giving smile.Aria sat there, frozen, her eyes f

Author's POV Vincent stood there, his eyes still lingering where Aria had disappeared from his sight. His heartbeat was a mess, just like his thoughts.His legs moved to follow her within seconds, but a voice from behind anchored him in place.He turned around. Adrian was walking toward him, Sylvia beside him, his hand holding hers firmly. Tension was marked across his face.His hard expression and steady, calm steps tried to cover it up but for Vincent, it only took a glance to understand him.Adrian led her carefully inside, every step deliberate as he guided her forward.“Sit here, on the sofa,” Adrian murmured gently, his tone almost like one used with a child. “I’ll be back in a second. Don’t get up.”Sylvia arched her brow. “I’m pregnant, not a patient.” She sounded fed up with the overprotectiveness; it was irritating her now, and her mood swings weren’t helping either.“But you are pregnant,” he countered softly, a hint of stubbornness slipping through. “I need to look after

Author's POV For a moment, silence followed in the room. Vincent just stared at her as the question pierced him.But his answer came the next second without any hesitation.“Yes. I want this baby.”The certainty in his tone rattled her, but before she could say anything, his hand came up, cupping her cheek with gentleness.“But more than that,” his voice dropped lower, rough with something she couldn’t name, “I want us. This…”His eyes flicked between her trembling lips and the tears welling in her eyes. “…this can’t go on like it has…,” she whispered.Aria’s chest was rising unevenly, but this time there was no hesitation in her words.“Not you hiding everything. I want to know everything. Do you…” her voice faltered, then steadied, “…do you know me from before that deal?” Somewhere she knew the answer, but she still wanted to ask.Her question hung heavily in the air as thick silence followed.Vincent froze at that moment. His eyes stayed locked on hers, unreadable. His jaw tighten
