Alle Kapitel von Pregnant For My Best Friend's Rival : Kapitel 111 – Kapitel 120

Victoria's POVThe memories faded, leaving me alone in the darkness of my room. The wedding video had long since ended, the screen now a blank, blue glow. I sat there, the tears dried on my cheeks, the weight of the past pressing down on me.And then my phone rang.I glanced at the screen—an unknown number. Normally, I would have ignored it. But something made me answer."Hello?""Mrs. Richmond." The voice on the other end was male, deep, and carefully modulated. "I have information regarding your husband's death. If you're interested, meet me at the Harlow Hotel. Room 427. Come alone."The line went dead.I stared at the phone, my heart pounding. Information about Jonathan's death. After all these years, someone was reaching out.I didn't hesitate. I stood up, wiped my face, and walked to my closet. I changed quickly, my movements mechanical, my mind racing. Who was this person? What did they know? And why now?I grabbed my purse and headed for the door.***I was halfway to the fron

Victoria's POVI leaned against the corridor wall, my body trembling with rage and disgust. My hand still stung from the slap, but the pain was nothing compared to the fire burning in my chest. Elijah—Jonathan's best friend, the man who had stood beside him at our wedding, the man who had promised to protect our family—had just tried to use me.The audacity. The disrespect. The sheer, staggering betrayal of it.I closed my eyes, forcing myself to breathe. In through the nose, out through the mouth. The way Jonathan had taught me when I was pregnant with Jason and panicked about everything. Breathe, Victoria. You're stronger than you think.But I didn't feel strong. I felt violated. I felt alone. I felt like the past ten years of grief and rage had been for nothing, because the one person who could have helped me—the one person who had been there, who had known Jonathan, who had witnessed the truth—had turned out to be just another predator.I pushed off from the wall, my legs unsteady

Katherine's POVI stood frozen in the middle of my living room, the echo of Brenda's parting words still hanging in the air. My heart was pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat, and my hands were trembling despite my best efforts to steady them.I walked to the door and locked it, the click of the deadbolt a small comfort. Then I leaned against the door, my back pressed against the cool wood, and closed my eyes.This isn't over, Katherine. Not by a long shot.Brenda's words replayed in my mind, each one a fresh wound. She had stood in my home—the home Jason had given me—and threatened me. She had claimed Jason as her own, as if he were a possession she had misplaced and intended to reclaim.And the worst part? A small, traitorous voice in the back of my mind whispered that she might be right. That I was just a distraction. That Jason would eventually realize he belonged with someone like Brenda—someone from his world, someone who hadn't spent years stripping for money, someone

Mikel's POVThe drive to the clinic was quiet, the silence between us heavy with everything we weren't saying. Katherine sat in the passenger seat, her hands clasped in her lap, her gaze fixed on the passing scenery. I stole glances at her when I could—the curve of her jaw, the way her hair fell across her shoulders, the gentle swell of her belly beneath her dress.She's beautiful.The thought came unbidden, and I pushed it away. I had no right to think of her that way anymore. She was with Jason now. She had chosen him. And I had accepted that.Or so I told myself.We arrived at the clinic, and I parked the car. Katherine reached for the door handle, but I was faster, stepping out and opening her door before she could.She looked at me, surprise flickering in her eyes. "You don't have to do that.""I know." I offered her my hand. "But I want to."She hesitated for a moment, then took my hand. The touch was brief, but it sent a jolt through me—a reminder of everything we had once shar

Sophie's POVI watched Brenda's face as she sat down across from me. She was trying to appear calm, but I could see the tension in her jaw, the way her fingers drummed against the table. She was rattled. Good.I had been waiting for this moment for weeks. Ever since I had hired the private investigator. Ever since I had realized that Katherine would always be a thorn in my side, no matter how many times I tried to pluck her out."You said you had something to tell me," Brenda said, her voice guarded.I nodded, leaning forward. "I do. But first, I need to know—are you still committed to bringing Katherine down?"Brenda blinked, surprised by the directness of my question. "Of course I am. Why would you even ask?""Because I need to know if I can trust you." I paused, letting the weight of my words sink in. "The last time we spoke, we agreed to work individually. But I've realized that we're stronger together. And I have information that could destroy Katherine once and for all."I saw t
