All Chapters of Losing My Voice, I Got Pregnant by the Wrong Man: Chapter 51 - Chapter 56

{Alora’s POV}By the time we arrived at the Meridian Tower, the morning had already settled into its usual rhythm, but something about it felt slightly altered.Not in a way that announced itself, and not in a way that demanded attention, but in the small pauses that revealed themselves if one chose to notice.I noticed.As we stepped inside, the shift began almost immediately.People didn’t stop walking. Conversations didn’t fully break. Everything continued as it should have—but not quite the same. There were glances that lingered longer than necessary, brief hesitations in movement, and the subtle way attention gathered before being redirected.It wasn’t unfamiliar.What was different was the reason behind it.I let my gaze move quietly across the space as we walked, observing without drawing attention to it. A man near the reception desk looked up, then looked again, his eyes narrowing slightly as if trying to confirm something. Two women passing by slowed their conversation just

{Alora’s POV}The discomfort was sharper today.It didn’t announce itself immediately. It settled in slowly, the kind that made itself known only when I tried to use my hand the way I had been managing to before.I noticed it when I reached for my phone.The movement felt familiar—routine, expected—but the moment my fingers tried to close around it, there was a slight hesitation.

{Alora’s POV}Morningstar truly didn’t stop. He actually left. That was the first thing that stayed with me.Not what he said. Not how he said it.Just that he didn’t stop.He walked past me like the conversation had already ended before I even had the chance to be part of it.And just like that, it did.I was still standing there when the sound of his footsteps faded out of the room. My hand was still slightly raised, fingers halfway through something I hadn’t finished.I didn’t lower it immediately.For a second, I just stood there, like maybe there was something else that was supposed to follow. Another word. A correction. Anything.Nothing came.Of course nothing came.I exhaled quietly and let my hand fall back to my side.It felt slower than it should have been. Not because I was dragging it out, but because the moment had already moved on without me.I hadn’t caught up.Or maybe I hadn’t been given the chance to.I stayed there a little longer than I needed to.
