All Chapters of The contract wife secret twins : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Congratulations, Mrs. Hart."The words hit me like a slap.Dr. Grey smiled gently as she turned the ultrasound monitor toward me."You're pregnant."I stared at the blurry black-and-white image without understanding what I was looking at. My mind refused to catch up with her words.Pregnant?That wasn't possible.She pointed at the screen."And there's something else."Her smile widened."You're having twins."The room went completely silent.Twins.I blinked so hard my eyes burned."No..." The word escaped before I could stop it. "That can't be right."Dr. Grey looked at me with quiet concern."I assure you, the scan is very clear."She zoomed in, outlining two tiny flickering lights."There."She smiled again."Those are your babies' heartbeats."Two tiny hearts.Two little lives.Growing inside me.My fingers trembled as they drifted to my stomach.I felt... nothing.Not because they weren't there.Because I couldn't make myself believe they were."I've been taking the pills," I w

The moment Sophia smiled at Kilan, I understood something I'd spent three years trying to deny.I had married the man.She had always owned the part of him I could never reach.No one spoke for several long seconds after Sophia announced she was back for good.Then Grandfather cleared his throat."Sit, everyone. Dinner is getting cold."His voice broke the tension, but it didn't erase it.Sophia took the empty chair across from Kilan.Across from me.Close enough that they could look at each other without turning their heads.Close enough that I felt like the unwanted third person in my own marriage.The servants began placing dishes on the table.Normally, Grandfather insisted everyone eat before discussing business.Tonight, no one seemed interested in the food.One of Kilan's aunts smiled at Sophia."We've missed you so much."Sophia laughed softly."I've missed everyone too."Another relative chimed in."When we heard you were moving back, we couldn't believe it.""I finally reali

I couldn't stop staring at the pill packet.The tiny white tablets looked harmless.Ordinary.But one of them wasn't the same shape as the others.It was only a slight difference—small enough that I might never have noticed if I hadn't turned the packet over again and again.A chill crawled up my spine.I had trusted those pills.Kilan had trusted them.Our entire marriage had depended on them.I slipped the packet into my handbag, grabbed my keys, and left the house.The drive to Dr. Grey's clinic felt longer than usual.Questions chased one another through my mind.Had the pharmacy made a mistake?Had I been careless?Or...Had someone wanted me to become pregnant?The last thought sounded ridiculous.Why would anyone do that?By the time I parked outside the clinic, my palms were damp with sweat.Dr. Grey welcomed me into her office with a warm smile that quickly faded when she saw my expression."What happened?"I placed the blister pack on her desk."I think something's wrong."S

The drive to the hospital felt endless.My hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly they ached, but I barely noticed. Every red light felt like an enemy. Every passing minute stretched my nerves thinner.Dr. Grey's words echoed in my head."There are some irregularities."Irregularities.That wasn't the kind of word doctors used when everything was fine.By the time I rushed into the clinic, my heart was pounding so hard I could hear it.The receptionist looked up and immediately stood."Mrs. Hart? Dr. Grey is waiting for you."I nodded, unable to speak.My legs carried me down the familiar hallway, but today it felt different.Heavier.Like I was walking toward a truth that would change my life forever.Dr. Grey rose from behind her desk the moment I entered."Sit down."Her voice was calm, but there was concern in her eyes.I obeyed without a word.She slid a laboratory report across the desk."The tablets you brought weren't all the same medication."I stared at her."What?"She

The garden air was cool against my flushed skin, but it did nothing to calm the storm raging inside me.Sophia stood three feet away, her cream sweater catching the faint light spilling from the mansion windows. She held the pharmacy receipt between her perfectly manicured fingers like it was a weapon.Prenatal Vitamins.The words stared at me from the crumpled paper, bold and damning."I think," she said softly, her smile never wavering, "you've been keeping a very dangerous secret."My heart slammed against my ribs. Every instinct screamed at me to deny everything. To laugh. To pretend she was imagining things.But I couldn't speak.The truth was written all over my face. I could feel it—the pallor, the fear, the desperate calculation behind my eyes.Sophia tilted her head, studying me like I was a puzzle she'd already solved."You should close your mouth, Lisa. You look like a fish gasping for air."I swallowed hard. "I don't know what you're talking about.""Really?" She stepped c
