All Chapters of Pregnant After The Contract Ended : Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Lucas’s POVThe room went quiet after Adriana’s words.“Maybe I’m here to remind you of who you used to be.”Lucas stood still, his eyes fixed somewhere far away, even though Adriana was right in front of him.Those words… they did something to him.Something he did not like.Because the truth was simple.He did not even know who he was anymore.“People change,” Lucas said finally, his voice low and controlled.Adriana studied his face carefully.“Yes,” she said softly. “But not completely.”Lucas gave a small, dry laugh.“You sound very sure.”“I am,” she replied.There was something calm about her. She did not rush. She did not beg. She did not act desperate.She spoke like someone who had already accepted the past… but still believed in something unfinished.Lucas walked back to his desk and picked up a file, even though he was not reading it.“You’ve seen me,” he said again. “You’ve said what you came to say. You can leave now.”Adriana did not move.Instead, she walked closer to

Lucas stood in front of Adriana.For a moment, neither of them spoke.The café was quiet and warm. Soft music was playing in the background, and people were talking in low voices, but for Lucas, everything felt far away. The only thing he could see clearly was Adriana sitting in front of him.“Sit,” Adriana said gently.Lucas pulled the chair and sat down slowly.There was a small table between them, but it felt like something much bigger was standing in that space. Years. Memories. Things left unsaid.A waitress came and asked what they wanted.“Black coffee,” Lucas said.“The same,” Adriana added.When the waitress left, silence returned again.Adriana looked at him carefully. Not just at his face, but deeper. Like she was trying to understand the man he had become.“You look tired,” she said softly.Lucas gave a small, dry smile.“I am,” he replied.There was no point pretending.Adriana leaned back slightly.“I used to know everything about you,” she said. “I used to know when you

The afternoon at the office was quiet, but Lucas could not focus.He sat at his desk, looking at the papers in front of him, but his eyes were not really seeing anything. His mind kept going back to his phone.To that message.“Are you okay?”Such a simple question.But it stayed with him.No one had asked him that in a long time.Not in a real way.People usually asked about business, meetings, deals… but not him.Not how he felt.Lucas picked up his phone again.He stared at the screen.There was still no new message.He did not know why he was waiting.But he was.After a few minutes, he placed the phone down again and tried to work.It did not last long.His hand slowly moved back to the phone.This time, he typed first.“What are you doing now?”He stared at the message for a few seconds.Then he sent it.His heart felt strangely uneasy.Why did such a small message feel so big?A few seconds later, the reply came.“Sitting by the window. Thinking.”Lucas read it again.It felt c

The Ashford mansion was very still. It was the kind of silence that feels heavy, like a thick blanket. Usually, there were sounds of maids moving or the hum of the heater. But today, everything was quiet. This quiet made Valentina feel afraid. Every small sound—the ticking of the clock, the wind against the window—felt like a loud shout.Valentina stood by the large window in her bedroom. She looked at the sky. It was gray and cold. The sun was hiding behind dark clouds. She wrapped her arms around herself. She felt a chill, but it wasn't from the weather. It was from inside her heart.She had not slept well. All night, she kept thinking about what happened in the hallway. She had stood behind the study door and heard Lucas talking. His voice was low. It was soft. Most importantly, it was gentle.That gentleness hurt her more than a scream. Lucas was never gentle with her anymore. With her, he was cold. He was short. He was like a winter wind. But with whoever was on that phone, he wa

Outside Adriana’s apartment, the world was dark and cold. A man sat in a small car across the street. He was holding a camera with a very long lens. He was a professional photographer who followed rich people to find their secrets.He saw the front door of the apartment building open. Lucas Ashford walked out.Lucas looked different than he did on TV. He didn't have his tie on. His hair was messy. He looked like a man who had finally taken off a heavy mask. He stopped for a second, looked up at the moon, and took a deep breath. He looked... happy.Click. Click. Click.The photographer smiled. He had the photos. He had Lucas Ashford leaving a woman's apartment late at night. He knew this was worth millions of dollars. He didn't care if Adriana was "just a friend." In the world of gossip, a photo is a weapon."This is going to destroy the Ashford name," the man whispered. He started his car and drove away into the shadows.Inside the warm apartment, Adriana was cleaning up the tea cups.
