All Chapters of Divorced by the billionaire, pregnant with his twins: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

**Mara** For a long moment, I forgot how to breathe. The air caught in my throat, refusing to move no matter how hard I tried to inhale. The words echoed inside my head again and again, each repetition sounding more impossible than the last. Vanessa is carrying my child. My eyes searched Damon's face desperately, clinging to the smallest hope that he would smile and admit this was some cruel joke. I waited for him to laugh, to tell me he had gone too far. He didn't. His expression remained calm, almost indifferent, as though he had merely commented on the weather instead of tearing my world apart. My lips parted. I tried to speak, but my voice refused to come. Only a shaky breath escaped as I stared at him, unable to make sense of what I had just heard. I had imagined countless ways my marriage could fall apart. Never like this. Never with another woman standing in my home, carrying my husband's child. Vanessa gently rested her hand over her stomach, a small smile playing on h

**Mara**I remained rooted to the spot, unable to move. My feet felt as though they had fused to the marble floor while my mind struggled to catch up with everything that had just happened. The dining room was so quiet that I could hear my own breathing, uneven and shallow, scraping against the silence.Upstairs, muffled voices drifted through the mansion. Mrs. Blackwood's voice was gentle, almost motherly, as she fussed over Vanessa. Damon's voice followed a moment later, low and calm, asking questions I couldn't make out. Every word was another reminder that his concern belonged to someone else now.I lowered my eyes. The hand I had used to push Vanessa's wrist away was still trembling. I slowly opened my fingers, staring at my palm as though it might somehow explain how such a small movement had turned into a lie capable of destroying my marriage.A few minutes later, footsteps echoed from the staircase. I looked up instinctively.Damon came down first, one hand resting lightly aga

**Mara**The ride back from the hospital was quiet. I sat in the back seat with my head against the window, watching the familiar streets pass by in a blur. My body still felt weak from fainting, and every bump in the road sent a dull ache through my head, but it was nothing compared to the heaviness sitting inside my chest.My fingers slowly curled around the edge of my dress. I was pregnant but the word still felt unreal.After three years of waiting, hoping, praying, and wondering what was wrong with me, I was finally carrying a child. A small smile touched my lips, but it disappeared almost immediately.I looked down at my stomach. How could something I had wanted for so long arrive at the exact moment my marriage was falling apart? My eyes stung, and I turned my face toward the window before the tears could escape.I had imagined this moment so many times. I had imagined telling Damon that we were going to be parents, the way his eyes would light up, the way he might pull me into

**Mara**The car moved through the city, but I barely noticed where we were going. I sat in the back seat with my fingers intertwined tightly in my lap. They trembled despite how hard I tried to keep them still, and every few seconds, I wiped away the tears gathering beneath my eyes.I had left. The thought settled heavily in my chest.For three years, that mansion had been my home. I had entered it as Damon's wife, believing I would grow old there, yet tonight I had walked away with one suitcase and a secret growing inside me.My hand drifted toward my stomach. I closed my eyes for a moment.After everything I had endured, I finally had the child I had prayed for. Yet instead of running into Damon's arms with the news, I was sitting in the back of a car, trying to figure out where I would spend the night.A painful knot formed in my throat. I swallowed it down."Ma'am." I opened my eyes. The security guard was watching me through the rearview mirror. "Where should I take you?"I look

**Mara**The crust left behind by yesterday's tears clung to the corners of Mara's eyes when she opened them. For a few seconds, she remained still, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling as everything that had happened the previous day slowly returned to her.She rubbed her eyes and sat up slowly. Her body felt heavy, as though she had barely slept at all.Mara pushed herself off the bed and walked toward the window. She pulled the curtains open first, then pushed the window outward , immediately Cool morning air swept across her face.She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, allowing the fresh air to fill her lungs. For the first time since yesterday, she felt like she could breathe without something pressing against her chest.She rested both hands against the window frame and looked down at the city. Life was already moving.Mara lowered her gaze. She had less than a day left in this hotel. That thought made her straighten. She couldn't spend the morning crying over what was already go
