All Chapters of Married to my Ex's Billionaire Father: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Damon spent most of the afternoon trying to concentrate on work.It wasn't going well.He sat behind his desk at Bennett Global, staring at a report without absorbing a single line.His thoughts kept returning to Maya.More specifically, to the words she had spoken that morning.“What if I don't want to leave?”She had looked surprised after saying them.As though the words had escaped before she was ready.Damon had thought about them ever since.For months, he had tried to convince himself he could accept whatever Maya decided when their agreement ended.He had made the promise before they married.He would never pressure her.He would never make her feel trapped.But now the end of the agreement was approaching, and the promise was becoming harder to keep.His phone rang.Damon glanced at the screen.His lawyer.He answered.“Hello.”“Mr. Bennett, I wanted to discuss the marriage agreement.”Damon leaned back.“I remember.”“The expiration date is approaching.

The days passed quietly after Maya's conversation with Damon.She had finally admitted the truth to herself.She wanted to stay.She wanted Damon.She wanted their children to grow up with both of them.But she still hadn't told him.Every time the words reached her lips, fear stopped her.What if everything changed once she said them?What if Damon no longer wanted the same thing?Her pregnancy, meanwhile, continued to progress.The babies moved more often now.Damon still became completely distracted whenever he felt one of them move.Sometimes, he would place his hand over Maya's stomach before going to sleep and wait patiently.Maya secretly loved watching him.One morning, Rachel walked into the kitchen carrying Maya's appointment folder.“Your scan is tomorrow.”Maya looked up.“I know.”Rachel smiled.“You haven't forgotten?”“No.”“This one is important.”Maya knew exactly what she meant.For months, she and Damon had chosen not to find out the babies' g

Rachel took the baby shower preparations seriously. By the end of the week, Bennett House had become a busy center of activity. Flowers arrived every morning. Boxes filled the dining room. Decorators came and went. Ethan complained about the number of deliveries. Lily ignored him and kept helping Rachel with the decorations. Maya watched everything from the sitting room, amused. “You're doing too much.” Rachel turned toward her. “I'm doing exactly enough.” “Rachel, it's a baby shower, not a royal wedding.” Rachel laughed. “You're carrying two babies. You deserve a proper celebration.” Damon walked into the room carrying a box. “I agree with Rachel.” Maya looked at him. “Of course you do.” He placed the box on the table. “What is this?” “Something for the shower.” Maya narrowed her eyes. “You're involved too?” Damon smiled. “I was asked to help.” Rachel raised an eyebrow. “He volunteered.” Ethan laughed. “Dad has been involved in e

Rachel barely slept. Victor's message had remained on her phone all night. Soon. One word. One promise. One threat. By morning, she had convinced herself she was ready to face him. She wasn't. Rachel walked into the kitchen before anyone else arrived. She prepared coffee, checked the breakfast table, and started going through the list of things Maya needed for her upcoming appointment. These small routines had become part of her life. She knew which tea Maya preferred. She knew which foods made her feel better. She knew Damon would forget breakfast whenever he was worried about work. She knew Ethan would complain about waking early and then stay at the table longer than everyone else. She had become part of the household without anyone questioning her presence. And Maya trusted her. That was the problem. “Good morning.” Rachel turned. Maya stood at the entrance, one hand resting beneath her stomach. “Good morning, sweetheart.”

Maya barely slept that night.Damon's answer kept replaying in her mind.I'd say yes.Without thinking?Without hesitation.She had asked the question because she needed to know.Now she knew.Damon wanted her.He wanted their children.He wanted the life they had built together.And still, Maya had not said the words she needed to say.She turned onto her side and looked at him.Damon was asleep.His face was peaceful, one hand resting near her stomach.Maya smiled.She reached over and gently covered his hand with hers.“I choose you,” she whispered.Damon didn't wake.Maya closed her eyes.For the first time, saying it didn't frighten her.She had made her decision.The agreement would end.But their marriage wouldn't.At least, that was what she wanted.The next morning, Maya woke with a strange sense of certainty.She dressed slowly and went downstairs.Rachel was already in the kitchen.“Good morning.”“Good morning.”Rachel studied her face.“You l
