Semua Bab THE HEIRESS THEY NEVER WANTED: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Owen paced restlessly across the hospital corridor, his hands clenched at his sides. Every few seconds, his eyes darted toward the doors where the doctor had disappeared.Vincent and Evelyn sat silently on the bench, waiting anxiously for news about Daphne. The minutes seemed to drag. Finally, the hospital doors opened, and the doctor stepped out.Everyone immediately stood.“How is she?” Owen asked.The doctor glanced at them before offering a small smile.“She is stable. But there is something you should know.”Owen's brows furrowed.“What is it?”The doctor looked at him.“Your wife is pregnant.”For a moment, Owen simply stared at him.“Pregnant?”“Yes. She is approximately a few weeks pregnant.”Owen's expression hardened.“That’s impossible. Daphne told me I couldn't have children. She said I was impotent.”Vincent and Evelyn exchanged worried looks.The doctor shook his head.“That information was incorrect.”Owen stared at him in disbelief.“What do you mean?”“The medical rep

Noah headed toward Brad's ward, expecting to find him in much worse condition after what Adrian had said. But the moment he stepped inside, he stopped.Brad was sitting on the hospital bed with nothing more than a small bandage wrapped around his arm.Noah stared at him.“That’s it?”Brad looked at him.“What?”“Your injuries.”Brad glanced at his arm.“I only have minor injuries.”Noah looked back toward the door, then shook his head. Adrian had said Brad's injuries were more severe than his own. Yet Brad had barely a scratch.Noah narrowed his eyes.Then why the hell did Adrian send him here?His gaze drifted toward the hallway.Was that sneaky bastard trying to get rid of him so he could have a moment alone with Nadia?A knowing smirk appeared on Noah's face.Of course he was.He turned back to Brad.“So, what actually happened?”Brad's expression became serious.“The car that hit us was aiming for the boss. It was obviously from the Grahams.”Noah's amusement disappeared.“A car w

Daphne walked into the private restaurant room with a satisfied smile on her face. For the first time in days, everything seemed to be falling back into place. Her marriage was intact.Owen had abandoned the divorce.Her family was no longer falling apart. And, most importantly, she had finally found a way to destroy Nadia.Daphne walked toward the small table beside the window and picked up the glass of wine waiting for her. She took a slow sip. Her mind returned to the information she had uncovered during her investigation following Aveline's kidnapping.She had discovered something far more valuable. Aveline was Adrian Ravencrest's biological daughter and he was the man Nadia had slept with years ago. Daphne had been stunned when she discovered the truth. She had felt completely powerless. Adrian Ravencrest was far more powerful than the Laurent family, and going after him directly would have been foolish.But then she had discovered something else. Alexander Ravencrest was against

“Daddy!”Liam's excited scream filled the school entrance as soon as he spotted Owen waiting beside the car.Owen smiled.“My bot.”Liam ran straight into his arms, and Owen lifted him off the ground, holding him tightly.Even though Liam wasn't his biological son, Owen had made peace with the truth. It had taken time, anger, and heartbreak, but he had eventually forgiven Daphne.And now, with their second child on the way, Owen was determined to give both of his children the love and protection they deserved.He placed Liam back on the ground and ruffled his hair.“Ready to go home?”“Yes, Daddy!”Owen helped him into the car before getting behind the wheel and driving away from the school.After a few minutes, Owen glanced at his son through the rearview mirror.“So, Liam…”“Yes, Dad?”“How are you preparing to become a big brother?”Liam immediately straightened in his seat.“Pretty good.”He clenched his tiny fists dramatically.“I will protect my younger ones.”Owen laughed.“Tha

“My love, where have you been?” Daphne asked as Owen walked into the bedroom.Owen simply stared at her for a moment before walking past her and heading toward the walk-in closet.“At the office,” he said calmly.“You look so tired and worn out.”Daphne stepped closer and helped him take off his jacket.“Yeah. Work was very hectic today.”He kept his voice casual.Daphne smiled and gently rubbed his shoulder.“I can imagine. Our baby misses you. Liam was trying to wait up for you, but he fell asleep.”“I’ll apologize to him tomorrow.”Owen walked deeper into the closet, his expression remaining unreadable.Daphne was standing right there, lying to him again. She wasn't pregnant. He had received the test results earlier that day, and the doctor had confirmed it.He was infertile.Yet here she was, standing in front of him and talking about their unborn child as though the pregnancy were real.Owen's hands slowly tightened at his sides.He wanted to turn around, ask her how she could lo
