Semua Bab Divorced While Pregnant with the Billionaire's Twins : Bab 1 - Bab 10

Bella's POV It was almost 11 p.m., and my husband, Ethan Hayes, was still not back from his workplace. This was strange because in the entire course of our marriage, there had never been a single day he returned this late.As his wife, and one who had studied everything about him so I could give him the best treatment a wife could possibly offer her husband, I knew something had to be wrong. He never kept late nights. Nor worked overtime as there was no need for him to.After all, he was the CEO of his family’s company.So why was he still not home?“Madam Rebecca requests your presence, Bella.”The servant’s voice came again, snapping me out of my thoughts.I noticed the tone in which she addressed me but said nothing. I only nodded quietly and followed her.Rebecca was Ethan’s only sister. Though she was a year older than I was, I could never stand up to her. She was too sharp with her tongue and confident in her position. To cross her meant crossing Ethan. And for the three years

Bella's POV “Congratulations on your pregnancy, Mrs. Bella Hayes.”The doctor’s words kept ringing in my head as I slowly walked back into the Hayes mansion.I didn’t know what to think of her findings. A whole week had already passed since Ethan requested a divorce from me. The legal proceedings were being rounded up, and at the same time, I was preparing to round up my stay in the Hayes family house.I was already thinking about my exit.About who I would become after being stripped of the name Hayes.But earlier today, I had felt too dizzy to function. The world had spun more than once, and I assumed it was from stress. The divorce, humiliation and sleepless nights I've endured.So I went to the hospital for a simple checkup but only to be told that I was pregnant.It sounded impossible.My thoughts were still tangled around that word when I saw Ethan’s car pull into the garage.Ethan always used protection with me.He was careful about preventing a pregnancy from occurring. To hi

Bella's POVThe silence that followed my demand was almost deafening.Rebecca recovered first, as she always did. Her laughter cut through the tension like a blade, sharp and mocking."Twenty percent shares in Hayes Conglomerates?" she repeated, her voice climbing higher with each word. "Have you lost your mind, Bella? Or has the greed finally consumed whatever little sense you had left?"She stepped closer to me, her eyes blazing with a fury I had never seen directed at me before. Not even in all the years she had tormented me had she looked at me with such hatred."You think you can just waltz in here and demand a chunk of my family's legacy? You, a nobody? An orphan my father took in out of pity?"Her words dripped with venom, but I remained still."Do you even understand what you're asking for?" she continued, gesturing wildly. "That's twenty percent! Of everything! Do you have any idea how much that is worth? Generations of Hayes blood and sweat built that company, and you think

Ethan's POV A soft cry came from Samantha. She pressed her fingers to her lips and looked away, and I stood there with my hand still braced against the wall, watching her shoulders tremble with the effort of holding herself together."I'm sorry," she whispered. "I don't know why I said that. Ignore me."I should have gone to her.That's what a man does when the woman he chose is standing in front of him crying. He crosses the room, pulls her close and says the right things.But I didn't move."Ethan." Her voice was steadier now, but she still wouldn't look at me. "Say something.""She's gone, Samantha." I said."Fine," she said without arguing. "I'll make coffee."She moved toward the kitchen without another word, and I listened to her footsteps fade, and then I was alone in the living room with nothing but the echo of a question I didn't want to answer.“Could it be that you have fallen in love with Bella?”I walked to the window.Outside, the morning was grey and unhurried. The gard

Ethan's POVI lay in bed staring at the ceiling while Samantha slept beside me tired from drinking yesterday night while I reasoned my way out of feeling — that's what I had always been good at.Bella being at the gynecology is absolutely normal. Women went to those clinics for a hundred different reasons that had nothing to do with pregnancy. Irregular cycles. Routine screenings. Any number of things that a man with no medical knowledge had no business drawing conclusions from. If she had truly been pregnant, she would have said so. She would have used it. That was who she was — calculated, strategic and always with one hand on the next demand.The pamphlets were old. She could have picked them up months ago out of idle curiosity. She had always wanted a baby. She had probably read about pregnancy the way she read about everything.I forced myself to believe all this and got out of bed.Samantha's things arrived at the mansion by eleven.Three moving boxes, two garment bags and a col
