Semua Bab Pregnant With the Billionaire's Forgotten Baby: Bab 1 - Bab 10

The doctor’s words were supposed to sound ordinary.They were not.“Your son needs surgery as soon as possible.”Elena Carter sat frozen in the hospital chair, staring at the medical report in her hands. The letters blurred before her eyes, but she already knew what they meant.Noah needed an operation.An expensive one.An operation she had no idea how she would afford.“How long do I have?” she asked quietly.Dr. Miller removed his glasses and sighed.“We can manage his condition temporarily, but we cannot keep delaying this. The deposit needs to be paid within forty-eight hours.”Forty-eight hours.The number echoed inside her head.She had spent the last five years fighting for Noah.She had worked through exhaustion, swallowed her pride, and sacrificed every dream she once had.But she had always found a way.This time felt different.This time, the amount standing between her and her son’s future was too large.“Please,” Elena whispered. “There has to be another option.”The doc

Elena had spent five years convincing herself that she no longer needed answers.She had told herself that Damien Ashford was a chapter of her life that had ended before it truly began.A beautiful mistake.A painful memory.A lesson she was forced to learn too young.But seeing him again had shattered every lie she had carefully built.Because the worst part wasn't that Damien had left.The worst part was that he looked at her like she was nobody.Like the night they shared had never existed.Like the promises he whispered had belonged to another person.Elena sat in the back of the taxi, staring out the window as the city blurred around her.Her fingers tightened around the strap of her bag.She should have been angry.She should have hated him.But seeing the confusion in his eyes had only created another wound.Because Damien wasn't pretending.He truly didn't remember.And somehow, that hurt even more."Miss, are you alright?"The driver's voice pulled her back.Elena quickly wip

Elena had faced difficult moments before.She had faced sleepless nights.Empty bank accounts.Doctors delivering terrifying news.She had faced raising a child alone when the person who should have stood beside her disappeared.But nothing had prepared her for the fear she felt now.Someone knew about Noah.Someone was watching them.And whoever it was had no intention of letting Damien discover the truth.The drive to the hospital felt endless.Elena sat in the passenger seat, her hands tightly clasped together.She hated how helpless she felt.She hated that, after five years of protecting Noah by herself, she suddenly needed someone else.Especially him.Damien drove silently beside her.His expression was unreadable, but his grip on the steering wheel revealed the tension he was trying to hide."You don't have to do this," Elena finally said.Damien glanced at her."Do what?""Protect us."A quiet pause followed.Then he answered."I think I do."Elena looked away."You don't eve

Damien read the witness statement for the third time.The words had not changed.They had only become more frightening.Before the accident, Damien Ashford was on his way to meet a woman who was pregnant with his child.His child.For five years, he had believed the missing years of his memory were an unfortunate consequence of an accident.Now he knew someone had deliberately hidden the truth.And somewhere in the middle of that truth was Elena.And Noah.Damien folded the document and slipped it into his jacket.He needed answers.But before anything else, he needed to see the boy.---Elena was preparing breakfast when someone knocked on her apartment door.She immediately became alert.After the messages she'd received, every unexpected sound made her nervous.She looked through the peephole.Damien stood outside.Her heart skipped.She opened the door only halfway."What are you doing here?""I came to see Noah."Elena's expression hardened."You can't just show up.""I know."Hi

Damien stared at the frozen security footage.The image was grainy, but the ring was unmistakable.A black onyx stone surrounded by a thin silver band.He had seen it countless times.On his uncle Richard's hand.Richard Ashford had been one of the first people to arrive at the hospital after Damien's accident.He had stayed beside Damien when he woke up.He had told him everything was going to be fine.He had helped him rebuild his company.He had never once given Damien a reason to doubt him.Until now."Send me the complete footage," Damien said.Marcus's voice came through the phone."Already doing it."Damien looked toward the hospital room.Elena was still inside with Noah.He couldn't tell her yet.Not until he had proof.Not until he knew how deep the betrayal went.His phone vibrated.The footage had arrived.He watched again.The figure entered his office.Used his credentials.Opened a file.Then disappeared.The face remained hidden.But the ring didn't.Damien clenched hi
