All Chapters of Forbidden Love:I wanted to abort until I heard 2 heartbeats: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The drive home was suffocatingly long. Sitting side by side in silence, they were two people locked in a war where victory for one meant total destruction for the other. As the saying goes, when two bulls fight, it is the grass that gets trampled. In this war, the grass was an innocent child—or perhaps children—caught in the crossfire of adult mistakes.Miss Vale was desperately fighting to protect the lives inside her. God knew she needed those babies. Ryan, on the other hand, was fighting to save his future, his family’s honor, and his standing in society. He was simply not ready to face the consequences.Both of them understood the heavy weight of their African heritage. In their culture, intimacy between blood relatives was not merely frowned upon—it was an abomination, a sacred curse that could bring ruin upon an entire family and lineage. Bringing a child born of incest into the world was far worse than keeping a secret; it carried the terrifying threat of public shaming, ritual

When they finally arrived back at her place from the DNA clinic, the silence between them was thick, heavy with exhaustion. Their ragged breathing filled the quiet car. It was a chaotic, impossible situation for both of them—a living nightmare they desperately wanted to wake up from. The vibrant, electric sexual chemistry that had sustained them for five years was entirely gone, replaced by a cold, suffocating wall. Miss Vale had zero interest in Ryan’s subtle physical closeness or hollow assurances. All her body craved was a hot meal and uninterrupted sleep. Ryan, however, was trapped in his own head, convincing himself that an abortion was the only logical escape route. He assumed Miss Vale was far too rational to risk her safety and reputation by carrying the pregnancy to term. The argument ignited the moment Ryan turned off the engine and looked at her with desperate eyes. “Babe, please... give the abortion priority,” Ryan pleaded, his hands trembling slightly on the steering

The two-week wait for the DNA appointment was an absolute living hell. Miss Vale fell into a deep, suffocating depression, her mind haunted day and night by the unbearable thought of terminating her pregnancy. The idea of ending those innocent lives made her physically sick—it was a horror she could not face, especially not alone.She was living with her young daughter and her younger sister, both of whom quickly noticed her rapid weight loss and complete lack of appetite. Yet, Miss Vale guarded her secret fiercely, refusing to breathe a word of the truth until she was absolutely forced to.At night, when the house fell silent, she would bury her face in her pillow and weep until she had no tears left. Then, she would force herself to stop, taking a deep breath and deciding to be strong for the sake of the life growing inside her. She prayed desperately, crying out to God and asking why this nightmare had to happen to her—why now, at this exact moment in her life?For those entire two

Revenge was the only thing consuming her mind. How do I ruin him? How do I destroy his career, his spotless reputation, or his future? Part of her dark, spiraling thoughts even wished him dead.Ryan was doing everything in his power to push her over the edge. He was deliberately suffocating her, driving her into a corner where stress and guilt would force her to rush into an abortion, that was his evil plan toward miss vale..Yet, beneath the raging fire of her fury, Miss Vale fought with everything she had to preserve her sanity. She knew that giving in to the overwhelming pressure could trigger a miscarriage, he really wanted her to react, to play the same game he was playing , but miss Vale was smarter than that ..These babies needed her to stay alive, and she needed them more than she had ever needed Ryan. As much as she had loved him, her fierce maternal instinct was infinitely stronger. Neither Ryan, nor David, nor the hypocritical judgment of society was going to force her into

Miss Vale’s hands trembled uncontrollably as she stood at the hospital registration desk. On the drive over, she had searched for the courage to confess the truth to David, but her throat had locked up. She was drowning in the trauma of Ryan’s betrayal, and her emotions were far too raw to handle another confrontation. She felt a fierce, desperate need to fight this battle alone. She had dragged herself into this tangled web, and part of her believed she had to find her own way out without burdening David.Yet, deep down, she knew David had a right to know—and the sooner, the better.“Please wait for me in the lounge area, David,” she requested gently as she handled the paperwork. “I’ll join you in a moment.”David agreed and took a seat in the waiting room. When Miss Vale sat beside him a few minutes later, David turned to her, his face lit up with genuine, hopeful warmth.“I keep praying the tests come back positive, Vale,” David said softly, taking her hand. “I would be so thrilled
