All Chapters of Chaos Is My Crown: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

🖤 Jacob 🖤 I have always trusted my instincts. Not because they are perfect, but because they are trained. Every decision I make is built on patterns, on information, on years of understanding how people move when they want something badly enough. So when that thought crossed my mind earlier, that the attack might not have been meant for Alexandra, I didn’t dismiss it. I waited. And now, staring at the report Jack just sent over, I got my answer confirmed. Every detail lined up too cleanly. The timing. The route. The kind of firepower used. The way the attack was executed. It wasn’t random. It wasn’t sloppy like a desperate attempt to kill a woman. It was calculated. Targeted. And the target… Was me. I leaned back slightly in my chair, the file still open in my hand as I went through it again, slower this time, letting every detail settle properly. “They tracked my car,” I murmured under my breath. That car was part of my rotation. One of the ones I use regular

🖤 Alexandra 🖤“I don’t know if you will ever trust me…” Jacob’s voice came from the kitchen, steady, almost too calm for the weight of what he was saying. “But trust that I’ll keep you and our baby safe. Always.”I didn’t respond immediately.I just watched him.The way he moved around the kitchen like he belonged there, like this was normal, like we were normal. Like he didn’t just admit to something twisted days ago and like I didn’t almost die a few hours ago.“Safe,” I repeated quietly, leaning my elbow against the counter.That word felt strange.“The attacker earlier was meant for you,” I said, my eyes staying on him. “I believe.”He didn’t deny it. Of course he didn’t. That alone was enough confirmation.I let out a quiet breath, picking up the snack he gave me earlier, bringing it close to my mouth—Then immediately paused. The smell hit me first. My stomach twisted so violently it felt like my body was rejecting the idea before I even tasted it.“Take this away,” I said qui

🖤 Jacob 🖤Yesterday changed something. I don’t say that lightly. I am not a man who wakes up and suddenly believes in emotional shifts or invisible bonds forming out of nowhere. I deal with facts. Results. Consequences. But what happened yesterday, the attack, our deep conversation, the way Alexandra looked at me after everything settled, it left something behind.Now I feel closer to her. Not in the way I planned. Not in the way control works. This is different. It is not calculated. It is not something I built step by step. It just… happened.And a part of me, the part I don’t usually listen to, is already waiting.Waiting for her to drop her guard. Waiting for her to look at me without suspicion. Waiting for her to stay. That part of me is new. And I don’t trust it.I exhaled slowly as I stepped out of the car, my driver already moving ahead to open the door even though I didn’t need it. I had gone to the office earlier out of habit after personally dropping Lex off myself, only

🖤 Alexandra 🖤“Thump… thump… thump…” The sound filled the room steady, fast and alive. I blinked once, staring at the small screen in front of me like it had personally offended me.“Thump… thump… thump…”That sound… was coming from inside me. I turned slowly to look at the doctor, then back at the screen again, then down at my stomach like I was expecting it to explain itself.“Wait,” I said, lifting a hand slightly. “Let’s pause.”The doctor blinked.I blinked back.“That sound,” I continued, pointing at the machine like I was in a board meeting and someone just presented nonsense data, “you’re telling me that is coming from inside my body?”“Yes,” she said gently.I stared at her. Then I laughed, not a small laugh. A full one. Because what else was I supposed to do?“So,” I said, leaning back slightly on the chair, “there is a whole human being inside me… making noise… without my permission.”The doctor tried not to smile.“That’s one way to put it.”“One way?” I repeated. “That

🖤 Alexandra 🖤“I said cats and dogs are cute, I am not,” I repeated while glaring at Jacob from his lap.The idiot actually smiled wider.“You keep saying that while acting like the most adorable pregnant woman alive,” he said calmly.I opened my mouth, ready to insult him properly this time, when my phone suddenly started ringing on the counter.I frowned immediately.Who the hell was calling me repeatedly like they wanted death? I stretched slightly, grabbing the phone before looking at the screen.Timmy.“What now?” I answered immediately, already annoyed.But the second I heard his breathing on the other side, something inside me shifted.“President…” his voice sounded shaky. “Your parents got into a massive accident.”My body froze. For one second. Then everything inside me went cold.“The doctors are uncertain if they’ll make it.”What?No.No.My grip tightened around the phone so hard my fingers hurt.“What?” I snapped, already standing up so fast Jacob’s hands fell from my
