ELEVEN - Blacklisted and Pregnant

“P-pregnant?” she croaked, her voice trembling. Her chest tightened, and her heart slammed against her ribs so violently she could barely breathe“What–no–that’s not–” She looked between the doctor and Reuben,there was fear written over her face. “Doctor, are you sure?”The doctor frowned slightly “Quite sure,” he said calmly. “You’re approximately four to five weeks along. About a month.”Aurora felt lightheaded. The edges of her vision blurred. “Then… then what I’ve been feeling”“Are common early pregnancy symptoms,” he explained, “The nausea, dizziness, fatigue, feverish sensations your body is under stress. Add malnutrition and exhaustion, and it becomes dangerous.”He tapped the chart lightly. “You need rest. Proper meals. Prenatal vitamins starting immediately. No alcohol. No extreme dieting. And significantly reduced stress.”Aurora stared at him stunned. Her left hand drifted unconsciously to her abdomen,it was completel

TWELVE - The White Lotus's Tantrum

The Valenmoor estate had descended into madness.Servants ran up and down the corridors panicking, shouts echoed through the halls as they bumped into each other “Move..move!”“Watch out!”Then a vase shattered against the wall with a deafening crash, the little pieces scattered all over the floor A second later, a glass ashtray followed, rolling across the floor and narrowly missing a servant’s ankle.Someone screamed. Someone dropped a tray.Objects kept coming, chaos ripping through the estate, all because one person couldn’t control themselves.And to Sadie this was nothing but a childish tantrum She was the newest maid. And clearly too new to know where to hide or too slow to know when to run. “Clean it up!” someone shouted. “All of it, now!”She crouched on the floor with seven others, hands shaking as they hurriedly gathered the broken pieces into their trembling arms.“Careful,” someone whispered frantically. “Careful -don’t cut yourself-”Another object flew.A framed pa

THIRTEEN - Paparazzi ? How?

FEW DAYS LATER“What do you mean you’re pregnant and the CEO of Blackwood Enterprises proposed to you?!”Mina shrieked so loudly that she spat water straight out of her mouth.It sprayed across the room as she sat down on the edge of Aurora’s tiny bed, with her hand still clutching the cup like it had personally betrayed her.Aurora groaned.She lay half-buried under the covers. dry, dark hair clinging to her damp forehead. She looked like someone who hadn’t slept or eaten the last few daysThis,this miserable state was what pregnancy had done to her.“Mina,” she whispered hoarsely, “please… lower your voice. My head feels like it’s splitting open.”“Lower my voice?” Mina echoed, she looked horrified. “No. Absolutely not. You don’t get to ask for peace after dropping a nuclear bomb on me.”She jabbed a finger at Aurora. “You said you had a fever. For weeks. I begged you to go to the hospital. And now you’re telling me I’m about to have a godchild, whose father is the most untouchable

FOURTEEN- Aurelium Sanctuary

Meanwhile, far from the noise of Hibiscus City, there existed a place the city did not dare disturb.Aurelium Sanctuary Hidden on the outskirts of Hibiscus City. The massive estate of the sanctuary was huge, guarded by steel gates and armed security.It was an unspoken rule that no one entered entered Aurelium without permission. No reporters. No business rivals. No social climbers. It was the one place no one dared to intrude on, because everyone knew what it was - Reuben Blackwood's territory.When Reuben wasn’t flying between countries or dealing with the world, this was where he stayed. Aurelium was not just an estate ; it was where he thought, planned, and ruled his empire from a distance.Today should have been no different.He sat behind his desk in the private office, reviewing documents related to Blackwood Global’s internal affairs. Normally, when he worked, his mind was empty of everything else- no emotions, no unnecessary thoughts, just numbers.To him,Work was order

FIFTEEN - Prince Charming To The Rescue

She turned her head slightly. “Irene, leave us.” Madam Irene hesitated. She glanced up at Reuben,unsure of what to do. “No"Reuben’s voice echoed through the hall “First,” he said coldly, “it’s Mr. Blackwood to you. You lost the right to call me anything else the moment you decided I was expendable.” His gaze locked onto Celeste “Second Irene goes nowhere. She is not your servant. She never was. The fact that you still think you can command her tells me you haven’t accepted reality yet.” Celeste’s smile finally cracked. Reuben descended a few steps “I also see you’ve been having a hard few months,” he continued calmly. “Your influence is thinning. Your name doesn’t open doors the way it used to.” He smirked again “So speak,” he said. “You didn’t come crawling back here out of love. Tell me what you want. Desperation doesn’t suit you,but it does explain you.” “i needed to know” she said coldly, “what possessed you to destroy a perfectly arranged engagement?” Her voice

SIXTEEN - Mina's Resilience

The door shook again. Not a light knock, this time it was a full slam. The crowd kept crashing into it over and over, the door was under so much pressure The couch mina had shoved against it scraped loudly across the floor, inch by inch losing ground. “Open up!” “Aurora Valenmoor, we know you’re in there!” “Who’s the father of the baby? Is it Myers? Say something!” “Just one photo,open the door!” The voices overlapped, sharp and aggressive, mixed with the sound of The voices were so aggressive that they mixed with the sound of fists pounding and shoulders ramming the door In the corner of the tiny bed room, Aurora was crouched on the floor, pressed tightly against Mina. Her arms were wrapped weakly around Mina’s waist almost like she was afraid to let go. They had stuck here since morning “I… I can’t breathe,” Aurora whispered. Her voice was barely there. “Mina… it’s so small. I feel… dizzy…” Aurora felt her head throb hard.The walls felt like they were closing in,it

SEVENTEEN - Aurora Visits The Sanctuary

Aurora woke with a sharp gasp, her body literally jerking upright as if she had fallen. Her heart raced. She put a shaking hand on her chest and took quick breaths, trying to calm herself down. Yet the fear from the nightmare hadn’t faded yet. Then she looked around. The room made her freeze. Tall windows were covered with thick curtains, and the walls were painted in warm cream and gold. Everything looked clean, neat, and expensive. Where am I? She glanced down and her breath stopped These weren’t her clothes. Not even close. Aurora was in a silk nightdress, smooth and cool against her skin, the kind that clearly cost more than she ever would have owned. That was when the fear truly set in. This wasn’t her room and she needed to leave,now. Aurora shoved the covers aside and swung her legs over the edge of the bed forcing herself to stand. She immediately felt dizzy. “Ah!” Her legs betrayed her,but she grabbed the wall just in time, as she fought the dizziness.

EIGHTEEN - A Piece In The Chessboard

The first photos were leaked at exactly 1:15 a.m. They didn’t come from a news outlet or a verified insider. They were posted from a newly created anonymous account, it had no profile picture, no bio, no followers. The username was a random string of letters and numbers. Within seconds of uploading the images, the account vanished. There was no explanation. no warning. Just images And just like that, the world took the bait. The media had already been spiraling after Reuben stormed in to rescue Aurora. That alone had been enough to set headlines on fire. But these new images? They poured gasoline on something that was already burning. Within minutes, the internet detonated. News outlets rushed to update their breaking stories. Gossip bloggers rewrote headlines in all caps. Comment sections turned crazy half the world screaming that this was criminal,the other half romanticizing it as some modern-day fairy tale. It was madness, Reuben Blackwood had moved one piece and the

NINETEEN- Blackwood Armor

Reuben didn’t raise his voice. “Yes,” he said clearly. “The wedding photos are real.” The shouting reduced slightly. “And no,” he continued “the so-called leaked bedroom photos are not what they were presented to be.” The reporters leaned forward. “The images involving Marcus Myers were taken without consent, distributed without context, and deliberately manipulated to damage her reputation. My legal team has already begun proceedings regarding their release.” His voice remained calm but there was anger underneath it. “The harassment, the stalking, the coordinated leaks and the attempt to corner her at her home those actions are being documented. And trust me they will be handled.” A ripple moved through the crowd. “Aurora Valenmoor is my wife,” he stated firmly. “We have been married for some time. Long before the circus that followed those leaks. We kept it private because our marriage was not a public performance.” Cameras flashed harder. “She was never in a re

TWENTY - Welcome home Mrs Blackwood

**THREE HOURS EARLIER 9:45PM** The pen is in the pocket beside you. Reuben’s deep voice broke the silence inside the car. “Use it when you’re ready.” Aurora Valenmoor stared down at the thick contract resting on her lap. The expensive seat beneath her felt stranger cold,even though the car moved smoothly through the midnight streets of Hibiscus City. Outside the tinted window, the city lights was nothing but streaks of gold. In the front seat, the driver remained silent, focused on the road. But in the back seat…It was just the two of them. Aurora bit her lower lip as her fingers tightened around the edge of the document. This was it. This was the moment that would change everything. There was no going back after this. Just earlier, they had finished a small, private wedding ceremony. There was no grand hall and no guests, Aurora had wanted it that way. Just a civil registrar and a few signatures and several carefully staged photographs that would soon be released
