Olivia's pov "I'm sorry, Miss... But your husband can't father a child," Dr. Phillip said, placing the clinical folder onto his mahogany desk with a soft, heavy thud. "He's infertile."The words hung in the sterile air of the examination room, suspended between us like a physical wall. I blinked, my mind fighting to grasp the sentence. "What?" I choked out. “Doctor... no. We've been trying for four years. His family... they keep telling me..."Dr. Phillip folded his hands over the chart, his expression softening with genuine pity. "Your lab work, ultrasound, and hormone panels are completely clean. Your womb is perfectly healthy, Olivia. You are one hundred percent fertile. But Mr. Kelvin's tests show an extremely low sperm count. It is highly improbable that he will ever be able to father a child biologically."A violent wave of shock surged through my chest.I'm not barren."Are you... are you absolutely sure?" I whispered, my fingers clutching the fabric of my coat."Beyond a dou

Olivia's pov Three days after Kelvin signed the agreement, I left the house, finding solace in a hazy blur of silence inside Maya’s small guest room.I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, the image of them on my bed flashed behind my eyelids. I sat on the edge of the twin mattress, clutching my knees to my chest, letting the tears silently soak through my sweatpants.On the third night, the door swung open, flooding the dim room with harsh hallway light. Maya stood in the doorway, her hands resting on her hips, her eyes full of painful, protective rage as she looked at my pale, hollow face."That is it, Olivia," Maya declared, her voice firm and unyielding. "I have watched you sit in this room, crying over those two absolute monsters for seventy-two hours straight. And I'm not letting that continue.""Maya, please..." I choked out, wiping my damp cheeks with the back of my hand. "I just... I need time.”"No, what you need is to breathe," Maya snapped gently,

Ethan's pov I stepped out of the private elevator and into my corner office, slamming the heavy double doors shut behind me.The silence of the room was oppressive, but it did nothing to quiet the chaotic storm raging in my mind. Opening the top drawer of my desk, I bypassed the whiskey bottle and reached straight for the pill, shaking out two distinct navy-blue capsules into my palm. I didn't bother with water; I just swallowed them whole, pushing down the familiar, bitter taste that had followed me since my early twenties.Just a precaution, I reminded myself, grimacing as I closed the drawer. The stress from the Australia expansion was already pushing my levels. I don't need a flare-up now.I leaned against the massive glass desk, unbuttoning my collar with a harsh, impatient tug, and stared out over the sprawling city skyline. I couldn't believe what had happened last night. After moving to Australia to avoid the torture of them being together in guise of expanding the family

I stared down at the two dark, bold pink lines, my knees buckling until I hit the cold bathroom tiles. The world felt like it was spinning completely out of control.Pregnant. With Ethan’s baby.The door unlocked and opened softly. Maya stepped inside, her eyes dropping to the plastic stick in my trembling hand. She gasped, kneeling next to me and wrapping her arms tightly around my shaking shoulders."Oh, Olivia..." Maya breathed, her voice cracking with pure empathy. "It's... it's Ethan's, isn't it?"I could only nod, tears silently streaming down my face.“Oh my God.” She gasped. My throat was dry as I stared at the lines, like it was going to disappear. "Olivia, listen to me," Maya said firmly, pulling back to look me straight in the eyes. "You have to tell him. Whatever happened between you two, forget it. This is his child. He's a billionaire, Olivia. He has power. He can protect you from Kelvin, and he has a right to know—""No!" I choked out, a wave of violent panic surging t
