Todos los capítulos de Divorced by the billionaire, pregnant with his twins: Capítulo 11 - Capítulo 20

**Damon**Damon had been on leave for two days. He had barely stepped into his office since then.He sat comfortably in the sitting room, one arm stretched along the back of the sofa while Vanessa sat beside him. The television played quietly in front of them.Damon glanced at her. "You're certain?"Vanessa turned toward him, a small smile appearing on her lips. "You've asked me that more than once.""I know.""And I've given you the same answer every time."Damon's eyes dropped briefly to her stomach. "I just want to be sure."Vanessa placed her hand over his. "I am pregnant, Damon." Her voice was soft, almost reassuring. He nodded slowly, something loosening inside him.A child. That was what he had wanted. His gaze remained on her for a moment before he looked away. "When will you see the doctor again?""Next week.""I'll come with you."Vanessa smiled. "Good." She leaned against him.Damon picked up his glass and took a slow sip. For a few minutes, the room was quiet. Then the tel

MaraMara stepped out of the lawyer's office and stood on the pavement for a moment. The city moved around her as though nothing had changed. She stared ahead.Her marriage was over. She had signed the documents with her own hand, and somehow, the world had continued turning as though three years of her life meant nothing.Her fingers slowly curled around the strap of her handbag. She needed money. The thought came suddenly, forcing her to look at the situation she had been avoiding.The hotel had been paid for only one night. She couldn't keep spending money she didn't have, and she had no job waiting for her. She had never needed to worry about money during her marriage. Even when she wanted to work, he had told her there was no need. Now she had walked out of that life with almost nothing.Mara lowered her gaze to her left hand. The wedding ring caught the sunlight. She stared at it for several seconds, a painful knot forming beneath her ribs.She slowly twisted the ring around her

I'lThe sound of the front door opening made Damon look up. Eleanor Blackwood walked into the sitting room with a smile on her face. "Damon."He rose from his seat. "Mom." She hugged him briefly before looking around the room. "I came to see you two.""We're fine," Damon said. Eleanor gave him a look. "I didn't ask whether you're fine."Before Damon could answer, footsteps sounded from the stairs. Vanessa appeared, moving slowly. Eleanor's expression immediately softened. "My dear."Vanessa smiled. "Mrs. Blackwood.""Come and sit down." Vanessa lowered herself onto the sofa with a tired sigh. Eleanor sat beside her. "You look exhausted.""I've been feeling tired lately.""That's normal." Vanessa shifted her legs. "My feet have been swelling too."Eleanor's eyes dropped to her ankles. "Are they painful?""A little.""Let me see." Vanessa hesitated. "It's fine.""Don't be stubborn." Eleanor gently lifted her leg onto the sofa and began rubbing her ankle. Vanessa let out a quiet breath.

Vanessa lay quietly on the examination bed, her fingers gripping the edge of the sheet beneath her. The room was cold. She could feel it against her skin, but the cold wasn't what made her body tremble.The doctor moved the ultrasound probe slowly across her stomach, watching the screen beside him. "Relax," he said. "Try not to tense up."Vanessa swallowed. "I'm trying."Damon sat a few feet away, his eyes on his phone. He wasn't really reading anything, scrolling through the screen without paying attention to what was on it, his mind somewhere else entirely.The doctor adjusted the machine. "How have you been feeling?"Vanessa forced herself to breathe normally. "Mostly tired.""Any vomiting?""Sometimes.""Any pain?""No."The doctor nodded and continued examining her. Vanessa stared at the ceiling, her lips moving slightly, not speaking loudly enough for anyone to hear. Please. Her fingers tightened around the sheet. Please, let everything be fine.Her heart was beating so hard tha

Mara sat quietly by the airplane window, her handbag tucked beneath the seat in front of her. The plane had already taken off. Below her, the city was becoming smaller with every passing minute, buildings that had once looked enormous now tiny shapes scattered across the ground, the roads looking like thin lines winding through the city.She rested her head against the seat and closed her eyes. She had done it. The thought should have brought relief. Instead, something inside her felt strangely empty.Everything was gone. Her marriage especially. The things she had accumulated during the years she spent as Mrs. Blackwood. She had signed away the Riverside property. The money was already being transferred and secured, enough to give her a fresh start, but she knew that money couldn't replace what she had lost.She opened her eyes and looked down at her hands. They were empty. For years, she had worn a wedding ring on one of those fingers. Now there was nothing.Mara slowly rubbed her t
