Semua Bab Married to my Ex's Billionaire Father: Bab 171 - Bab 180

The news did not stay between Maya and Damon for long.By breakfast, Damon had already made the decision to tell his family.Maya sat beside him at the table, her fingers intertwined with his.Ethan was halfway through his breakfast when Damon cleared his throat.“I have something to tell everyone.”Ethan looked up.“That sounds serious.”Lily glanced at Maya.“Is everything okay?”Maya smiled.“Everything is more than okay.”Damon looked at her.She gave him a small nod.He turned back to the family.“Maya and I have decided to remain married after our agreement ends.”Silence.For one second, nobody reacted.Then Ethan's face broke into a grin.“Finally.”Maya laughed.“You knew?”Ethan shook his head.“I didn't know. I suspected.”Damon raised an eyebrow.“You suspected?”“Dad, the two of you have been acting like an old married couple for months.”Lily laughed.“I was wondering when you would finally admit it.”Maya covered her face.“This family is im

Rachel woke before sunrise.She had barely slept.Victor's message remained on her phone.You have until tomorrow morning.She sat at the edge of her bed, staring at the screen.For months, she had followed Victor's instructions.She had lied.She had hidden conversations.She had watched Maya grow closer to Damon.She had helped build the trust she was eventually supposed to use against her.But something had changed.Maya was no longer an obstacle.She was family.Rachel dressed and walked downstairs.The house was quiet.She entered the kitchen and began preparing breakfast.A few minutes later, she heard footsteps.Damon appeared.“You're up early.”“So are you.”He smiled.“I have work.”Rachel placed a cup of coffee on the counter.“You should eat before you leave.”“Thank you.”He sat at the table.For a moment, they remained quiet.Then Damon looked at her.“Is everything okay?”Rachel forced a smile.“Yes.”“You've seemed distracted lately.”“I

Victor did not leave Bennett House immediately.After his conversation with Maya, he remained in the sitting room with Damon and her.Maya sat beside Damon, still processing everything Victor had said.For years, she had wanted his approval.Since the night she discovered she was a Bennett, she had wondered whether her father would ever accept her.Now he had apologized.He had acknowledged his failures.And he had blessed her marriage.Maya still didn't know what to do with the emotions inside her.Victor looked between them.“So,” he said quietly, “you've decided to remain married?”Maya looked at Damon.Then she smiled.“Yes.”Damon took her hand.“We have.”Victor nodded slowly.There was no surprise on his face.Only calculation.“How certain are you?”Maya frowned slightly.“Very.”“Our agreement is still in place,” Damon said. “But we've already decided what happens afterward.”Victor leaned back.“And what happens afterward?”“We stay married.”Victor looked at Maya.“You're s

August arrived quietly.Maya had been counting down to this month for weeks, but now that it was finally here, she found herself wishing time would slow down.The twins could arrive at any moment.The hospital bag stood beside the bedroom door.The nursery was ready.The car had been checked twice.Damon had even placed a second hospital bag in the trunk, despite Maya repeatedly telling him one was enough.“You're doing it again,” Maya said one morning.Damon looked up from his phone.“Doing what?”“Checking the hospital list.”“I want to make sure everything is ready.”“Everything has been ready for weeks.”“I know.”“Then why are you checking?”“Because we're in August.”Maya smiled.“And?”“And August is the month.”She laughed.“You're nervous.”Damon put his phone down.“I'm terrified.”Maya's smile softened.“I am too.”He walked toward her.“Are you sure you're okay?”“Yes.”“Any pain?”“No.”“Dizziness?”“No.”“Anything unusual?”Maya stared at him.“Damon.”“What?”“You've as

The hospital doors opened before Damon had fully stopped the car.A nurse approached with a wheelchair while another staff member came toward them.Maya gripped Damon's hand.“I can walk.”The nurse smiled.“I believe you. But we're going to make this easier for you.”Maya looked at Damon.He nodded.“Let them help.”She sat in the wheelchair.Damon stayed beside her.He didn't release her hand.Rachel and Lily followed closely behind.Ethan arrived a few minutes later with Victor.The hospital staff moved Maya quickly toward the maternity unit.Damon walked beside her.“I'm here.”Maya looked at him.“I know.”“I'm not going anywhere.”“I know.”Her voice trembled.“I'm scared.”Damon stopped walking for half a second.He leaned down and kissed her forehead.“So am I.”Maya looked surprised.“You admit it?”“Yes.”She smiled weakly.“But we're going to meet them.”He nodded.“Our babies.”The words seemed to steady both of them.Inside the examination room, the medical team began mon
