Chapter: Fake Engagement“She will become my wife.” The words shattered across every television screen in the country within seconds. News channels exploded. Reporters shouted over each other. Social media crashed under millions of reactions. Inside the mansion, Elena sat frozen on the couch staring at the television like she had imagined the entire thing. Wife. Damien Blackwood had just announced to the world that she would become his wife. Without asking her first. The press conference ended in chaos shortly afterward, but Elena barely heard any of it. Because her heart was beating too loudly. And somewhere deep inside her chest— Hope was beginning to grow.Dangerous, fragile hope.---Damien returned to the mansion nearly an hour later. The second he stepped through the front doors, Elena stood. Silence filled the massive hallway instantly. Neither spoke at first. Damien loosened his tie slowly, exhaustion shadowing his face, but his eyes remained fixed entirely on her.Finally, Elena found her voice. “You

Chapter: Sophia's RevengeDamien avoided Elena the next day. Not completely. Just enough for her to notice.Breakfast arrived through staff instead of him. Meetings suddenly kept him locked inside his office for hours. And every time their eyes met across a room— He looked away first. As if the conversation near the window had shaken him more than he wanted to admit. Elena should have felt relieved. Instead, disappointment settled heavily inside her chest. Because for one brief moment the night before, Damien had almost let her in completely. And now he was hiding again.---Sophia Vale watched all of it carefully. Every glance. Every silence. Every crack forming inside Damien’s carefully controlled walls. Jealousy poisoned her beautifully polished smile. She had spent years trying to reach Damien emotionally.Years. Yet somehow Elena Hart—the broke pregnant girl who stumbled into his life by accident—was succeeding without even trying.Sophia couldn’t accept it. Wouldn’t accept itSo she decided to destroy he

Chapter: Forced ClosenessSomeone inside Blackwood Enterprises wanted Elena dead. The thought poisoned everything.Damien trusted very few people already. Now he trusted no one. By morning, the mansion felt suffocating under the weight of heightened security. Guards checked every vehicle entering the estate. Phones were monitored. Staff movements tracked. And Elena? Damien barely let her breathe without supervision. “This is getting ridiculous,” she snapped as two guards followed her through the library. “They stay.” Damien didn’t even look up from the documents spread across his desk. Elena crossed her arms angrily. “I’m going to the kitchen, not a battlefield.” “You were nearly killed yesterday.” “I know that!” The memory still haunted her too.The sound of screeching tires. The terror in Damien’s eyes. God. She would never forget the way he looked holding her afterward. Like losing her would destroy him. That realization unsettled her more every day. Damien finally looked up slowly. Dark circles shadowed b

Chapter: The attackThe hospital discharged Elena two days later. Strict bed rest. No stress. No emotional pressure. The doctor repeated the warnings three separate times while Damien listened with the intensity of a man preparing for war. Elena noticed he asked more questions about the baby than she did. What foods were safest. What symptoms were dangerous. What medications could harm the pregnancy. Nothing escaped his attention. It should have comforted her. Instead, it terrified her how deeply he was starting to care. Because people like Damien Blackwood did not survive emotional attachment easily. And neither did the people who loved them.---The ride back to the mansion was unusually quiet.Rain clouds gathered heavily across the city while Elena sat beside Damien in the backseat, exhaustion still weighing down her body. “You’re staring again,” she murmured softly. Damien didn’t even look embarrassed. "You look tired.”“I almost lost the baby,” she whispered. “Of course I’m tired.” Something painfu

Chapter: Almost losing the babyThe nightmares started after that night. Every time Elena closed her eyes, she saw masked men standing over her bed. Saw blood. Saw herself losing the baby. And every morning, she woke up exhausted. The stress was slowly destroying her.Even her body felt heavier lately. More fragile.Mrs. Evelyn noticed first. “You’re too pale,” the older woman murmured worriedly during breakfast one morning. “I’m okay,” Elena lied softly. But she wasn’t. Her appetite disappeared almost completely. She barely slept. And worst of all— Damien’s growing closeness confused her more every day. Because sometimes he looked at her like she mattered. Then other times, the cold billionaire returned instantly. One moment his touch felt gentle enough to heal broken things. The next moment he buried himself behind walls again. Elena no longer knew what to believe. And the emotional exhaustion was beginning to crush her.---Three days later, Elena stood inside the mansion garden trying desperately to breathe thro

Chapter: The man behind the monster“You belong to me now.” The words stayed inside Elena’s head long after Damien walked away. She stood frozen beneath the rain for several seconds afterward, her heart beating so violently it almost hurt. Belong. Not protect. Not care for. Belong. Damien Blackwood said dangerous things too calmly. And somehow, the terrifying part wasn’t that he said them— It was the way her body reacted when he did.---That night, Elena couldn’t sleep. Rain tapped softly against the massive bedroom windows while moonlight spilled faintly across the silk sheets.Everything about this mansion felt too quiet after midnight. Like secrets lived inside the walls. Elena sat curled near the window wrapped in a blanket, unable to stop replaying the look in Damien’s eyes earlier. Jealousy. Real jealousy. But why? He insisted their arrangement meant nothing. No emotions. No attachment. Yet every time another man touched her, Damien looked one second away from violence. It didn’t make sense. A soft knock suddenly

Chapter: Blood on his handsThe blood was still wet. Aria stared at the dark stain spreading across Lucien’s coat sleeve while her heartbeat pounded unevenly against her ribs.For one horrible second, she couldn’t breathe. “Where is he?” Her voice came out sharper than intended as she turned toward the guard standing outside the office. The man immediately straightened. “Mr. Moretti is fine.” Fine.The word did nothing to calm her. “Then why is there blood on his coat?” Silence. That silence terrified her more than any answer could have. Aria grabbed the coat from the chair with trembling fingers. The expensive black fabric felt cold beneath her hands, heavier than it should have been. Something about seeing blood on his clothes made everything suddenly real again. Lucien wasn’t just a billionaire. Not just powerful.He was dangerous. Truly dangerous. And deep down… She had always known it. “Tell me what happened,” she demanded quietly. The guard hesitated again before answering carefully.“There was an incident

Chapter: The ConsequencesThe next morning felt painfully awkward. Aria realized that the moment she stepped into the dining room and found Lucien already seated at the long marble table, reading through several documents while black coffee sat untouched beside him. He looked composed. Cold. Perfectly controlled. As if he hadn’t kissed her like he was starving only hours ago. Aria stopped near the doorway, suddenly unsure what to do with herself.Lucien glanced up briefly. “You’re late.” That was it.No mention of the kiss. No lingering tension in his voice. Nothing.Confusion twisted painfully inside her chest. “Oh,” she said quietly. “Sorry.” Lucien returned his attention to the papers immediately.The distance between them felt sharper than before. More deliberate. Aria slowly sat down across from him while staff quietly placed breakfast on the table. Silence stretched heavily.Usually she would’ve snapped something sarcastic just to break the tension. But now?Now she just felt hurt. Because last night had

Chapter: The first real touchThe storm arrived just after midnight. Aria woke to the sound of thunder shaking the windows hard enough to rattle the glass. For a few disoriented seconds, she forgot where she was. Then lightning flashed across the enormous bedroom, illuminating unfamiliar walls, silk sheets, and the massive city skyline beyond the windows. Lucien’s mansion. Reality settled back over her instantly.Another loud crack of thunder split through the sky. Rain slammed violently against the windows while wind howled outside like something alive. Aria sat up slowly, pressing a hand against her chest as her heartbeat steadied. She hated storms. Ever since childhood, they always made her anxious. Her mother used to sit beside her during thunderstorms and tell stories until she fell asleep again. The memory made something ache softly inside her. Lightning flashed again.Then suddenly— Darkness. The entire room went black. Aria froze. A second later the air conditioner shut off too, leaving only the violent so

Chapter: Secrets behind cold eyesThe dinner ended after midnight. By the time the last guests finally left the mansion, Aria felt emotionally exhausted. Every smile she gave had felt forced. Every conversation carefully watched. Every movement analyzed by strangers trying to understand why Lucien Moretti suddenly seemed interested in a woman nobody had ever heard of before. But nothing unsettled her more than his uncle. The man’s cold smile still lingered in her mind long after the ballroom emptied. People close to this family tend to die young. The words had wrapped themselves around her thoughts like poison. Aria stood quietly near one of the massive windows upstairs, staring out at the dark city below while trying to calm the uneasiness inside her chest. The mansion had become quieter now. Lonelier. Somewhere downstairs she could hear distant voices from staff cleaning after the party, but otherwise the estate felt strangely hollow. Her gaze shifted toward the engagement ring resting on her finger....Large, Beauti

Chapter: MineThe engagement announcement broke the internet in less than twenty minutes. Aria learned that while sitting frozen in front of Lucien’s office television as reporters practically shouted over one another. “Billionaire CEO Lucien Moretti shocks the city with sudden engagement—”“Sources claim the mysterious woman has been secretly involved with Moretti for months—”“Questions are already rising regarding the timing of the announcement amid ongoing tensions within the Moretti empire—” Photos flooded the screen. Pictures of Lucien entering buildings. Pictures of her beside him from earlier that day. Headlines. Speculation. Rumors. It felt like her entire life had been ripped away overnight and handed to strangers for entertainment. “I can’t breathe.” The words slipped out quietly. Lucien looked up from his phone immediately.“You’re fine.”“No, I’m not.” Aria stood abruptly and walked away from the television, wrapping her arms tightly around herself. “This is insane.” She laughed shakil

Chapter: Dangerous CareAria stood frozen for half a second after Lucien actually sat down. She hadn’t expected him to listen. A man like Lucien Moretti didn’t seem like the type to take orders from anyone. Yet there he was, sitting calmly on the edge of the leather sofa while blood slowly stained the white fabric beneath his shirt. Watching her. Waiting. The realization made her suddenly nervous again.“Well?” he asked quietly. Aria cleared her throat quickly and forced herself to move. “I need a first aid kit.” Without a word, one of the guards near the entrance disappeared immediately. That alone reminded her exactly who she was dealing with. Lucien didn’t ask for things. People anticipated them. The first aid kit arrived less than a minute later. Aria took it carefully before sitting across from him at the coffee table. Up close, she could see the exhaustion hidden beneath his controlled expression. Faint shadows beneath his eyes. Tension sitting permanently in his shoulders. The kind of exhaustion sleep

Their paths cross unexpectedly at an airport when Aria bumps into Damien. He feels an instant, inexplicable attachment to the girl, unaware she is his daughter. Sparks fly as Damien encounters May professionally when she returns as a director at his company. Attraction, tension, and unresolved pasts begin to surface.
Meanwhile, their children play a pivotal role in reconnecting their parents. Damien’s grandfather, Daxton Stone, disapproves due to class differences and manipulates circumstances to challenge May and Damien, while Damien’s parents wholeheartedly support May. Corporate intrigue, sabotage, and a vindictive fiancée create further tension, especially as May’s son, Aiden, suffers domestic abuse and entrusts May to protect him.
Alongside a parallel romance between Damien’s boyfriend, David, and May’s best friend, the story weaves love, resilience, and family into a gripping tapestry. As truths emerge and past grievances confront them, Damien and May must navigate threats, heal old wounds, and embrace the family destiny they never imagined.
One Pregnancy, Two Babies is a story of love, sacrifice, second chances, and the unbreakable bonds of family, where children are the bridge that reconnects hearts separated by fate.

Chapter: Chapter 150: MemoriesThe morning sun spilled softly across the estate, warming the garden where the family had gathered. It was quiet, peaceful—a sharp contrast to the whirlwind of wedding planning, celebrations, and life’s usual chaos. Today, there was no agenda, no pressing task, no stress. Only them.May sat on a comfortable bench under the shade of the tall oak, Clara nestled against her side. Aria and Aiden ran around the garden, laughing as they chased a butterfly that seemed determined to evade them. Damien leaned casually against the railing, watching his children with a gentle smile, his hands clasped loosely in front of him.May’s thoughts wandered, as they often did on such calm mornings, to the journey they had traveled. The struggles. The tears. The quiet moments of doubt that had threatened to undo her. The nights when she had wondered if happiness would ever last. She remembered the early days with Damien, the way he had been patient, steady, and relentless in his care and love. How he had

Chapter: Chapter 149: The weddingThe wedding day arrived wrapped in light.From the first breath of morning, the entire estate seemed touched by something sacred and joyful, as though the world itself understood that this was not just another event, not just another celebration dressed in white and flowers and music.This was May and Damien.This was years of love, pain, healing, devotion, and quiet promises finally gathering into one visible, unforgettable moment.By seven in the morning, the house was already alive.Upstairs, May’s suite had transformed into a soft whirlwind of lace, makeup brushes, perfume, laughter, and nerves. White curtains billowed gently in the breeze from the half-open balcony doors, and sunlight poured across every polished surface. Her wedding dress hung near the vanity like something out of a dream, delicate and luminous, waiting for her.Sophia stood at the center of the room like a woman born for command.“No one is to stress the bride,” she declared, one hand on her hip, the other hold

Chapter: Chapter 148: The wedding preparationsThe news of the white wedding changed the entire mood of the house.Not because the family had not already seen May and Damien as husband and wife in every way that mattered, but because this time it was official in a new, beautiful sense. Intentional. Celebrated. Public. A promise they had long been living, now ready to be spoken before everyone they loved.And from the very first day the planning began, it became clear that this wedding would not be simple.Not because there was conflict.But because too many people loved them.Everyone wanted to help. Everyone had ideas. Everyone had opinions. And at the center of it all were May and Damien, trying to plan an elegant white wedding while balancing children, work, family visits, and a six-month-old baby who had somehow become the unofficial ruler of the household.It started on a bright Monday afternoon in May and Damien’s sitting room.Clara was asleep upstairs after a long morning of excitement. Aria and Aiden were at school. The h

Chapter: Chapter 147: Her first wordSix months later, the house had learned a new rhythm.It lived in soft sounds now.Tiny giggles spilling through the hallway. The rustle of baby blankets. The squeak of toys being stepped on at the worst possible moment. The low hum of lullabies from May when she thought no one was listening. The easy laughter of a family that had expanded again, not just in number, but in tenderness.And at the center of it all was Clara.Little Clara, with her round cheeks, bright curious eyes, and a smile that could undo the strongest person in seconds.She had become the sun around which everyone happily revolved.By the time six months had passed, she was no longer the sleepy newborn who only knew how to feed, cry, and drift back into dreams. Now she was expressive, alert, and full of personality. She knew the faces she loved. She knew how to protest when someone took too long to pick her up. She knew exactly how to beam when Aria sang nonsense songs to her and how to kick excitedly whenever Aide

Chapter: Chapter 146: Meeting herThe news reached them before the door opened, and somehow that made the waiting worse.“It’s a girl.”The nurse had barely finished saying it before the corridor outside the delivery room burst into relieved laughter, overlapping voices, and the kind of joy that came only after fear had loosened its grip. For hours, the family had sat, paced, prayed, stood, and sat again under the pale hospital lights, every second stretching thin with tension. But now the words changed everything.A girl.Their girl.Damien stood just inside the delivery room, unable to move for a moment.The world around him had gone soft and blurred, as though every hard edge had been washed away by the sound of his daughter’s first cry. His chest felt too full to contain what was happening inside it. He had supported May through every contraction, every wave of pain, every trembling breath. He had wiped her forehead, kissed her knuckles, told her over and over how strong she was even when his own voice had nearly

Chapter: Chapter 145: The Day She ArrivedThe months passed with a tenderness that seemed to reshape the rhythm of the entire household.Pregnancy settled into their lives not as a disruption, but as a season—gentle, expectant, and full of little moments that became precious without warning. The days stretched forward, one after another, carrying with them soft routines, growing excitement, and the steady approach of someone they already loved deeply.May changed slowly, beautifully, before all of them.Her belly rounded more with every passing week, and with it came the visible proof that Clara was growing stronger. The children began measuring time not by school days or weekends, but by how much bigger their mother’s belly had become and how soon they thought their sister might arrive. Aria grew even more attentive, often following May around the house with an almost comical seriousness, ready to help with anything she thought might make life easier.“Mommy, sit down. I’ll get it.”“Mommy, don’t carry that.”“Mommy, do you
