Amy didn’t even realize how far she had walked until her legs started hurting.

The city moved around her in a blur, cars honking, people talking, footsteps passing, but none of it truly registered in her mind.

All she could hear was:

I’m pregnant.

The words replayed over and over like a cruel punishment.

By the time she finally stopped a cab, her eyes were swollen from crying silently.

“Where to, ma?” the driver asked.

Amy opened her mouth, but no answer came immediately.

Then one place entered

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   CHAPTER 44: A Peace Interrupted

    Morning arrived gently at Grandma's house.The first rays of sunlight slipped through the sheer white curtains, painting soft golden streaks across Amy's bedroom floor. Somewhere outside, birds perched on the sprawling mango tree sang their cheerful morning melodies, while a cool breeze drifted in through the slightly open window, carrying with it the fresh scent of dew, blooming jasmine, and freshly cut grass.Amy slowly opened her eyes.For a brief, blissful moment, she forgot where she was.Forgot Zion.Forgot Victoria.Forgot the heartbreak that had driven her away from the city.

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   Chapter 43: The Search

    The Zion Mansion had never felt this quiet.Not even on the nights Zion deliberately stayed away from home because work consumed every waking hour.Tonight, the silence was different.It accused him.He unlocked the front door and stepped inside, his movements slow, almost reluctant. Usually, this time of the evening, he would hear something.Amy arguing with one of the maids because she insisted on making her own coffee.The television playing in the living room even though she wasn't watching it.Her laughter drifting from the kitchen whenever Mrs. Agnes, the head

    Amy didn’t even realize how far she had walked until her legs started hurting.The city moved around her in a blur, cars honking, people talking, footsteps passing, but none of it truly registered in her mind.All she could hear was:I’m pregnant.The words replayed over and over like a cruel punishment.By the time she finally stopped a cab, her eyes were swollen from crying silently.“Where to, ma?” the driver asked.Amy opened her mouth, but no answer came immediately.Then one place entered her mind.The only place that had ever felt safe.“My grandmother’s place,” she whispered softly before giving the address.The ride felt long.Too long.Amy leaned her head against the window as tears slipped quietly down her cheeks again. She was exhausted emotionally, mentally, physically.She didn’t want explanations.She didn’t want phone calls.She didn’t want to hear Zion defend himself.Right now, she only wanted peace.The moment the cab stopped in front of the small bungalow, Amy felt

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   Chapter 41: Why Does It Hurt?

    The words echoed in Amy’s head long after she left the office.I’m pregnant.At first, she thought she heard wrong.Surely she did.Because the moment she stepped into Zion’s office that morning, she hadn’t expected that.She remembered pushing the door open gently, ready to ask Zion if he had reviewed the investor documents she sent earlier.Then she saw her.Victoria.Standing too close to him.Too comfortable.Too familiar.Amy’s steps slowed instantly.The atmosphere already felt wrong before a single word was spoken.Then Victoria smiled.That smile.The kind women wore when they believed they had already won.And then—“I’m pregnant.”Amy froze completely.For a second, the world became soundless.She looked at Victoria first.Then slowly at Zion.Waiting.Hoping.Praying her ears had betrayed her.But Zion looked shocked too.And somehow… that hurt even more.Because if he looked surprised, then it meant this wasn’t planned.Meaning there was a possibility.A real possibility.

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   Chapter 40: Scandal

    The moment Zion’s car pulled into the underground parking lot of Zion Group, he knew things had spiraled completely out of control.Even before stepping out, camera flashes exploded around him.Media personnel swarmed the entrance like hungry vultures the second his security opened the car door.“Mr. Petrakis! Is the pregnancy rumor true?”“Are you having a child with your ex-lover?”“What does your wife think about the situation?”“Is there trouble in your marriage?”“Did Mrs. Petrakis leave because of the affair?”Questions flew aggressively from every direction.Zion’s jaw hardened.His expression remained cold. Controlled. Dangerous.He ignored every single question as he stepped out in a perfectly tailored black suit, moving through the crowd with long, purposeful strides while his security team struggled to hold reporters back.“Sir! Sir! One statement please!”But Zion didn’t stop.Didn’t look back.Didn’t even blink.The atmosphere inside the building wasn’t any better.The mo

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   Chapter 39: Where Is Amy

    Zion had never felt fear like this before.Not during hostile business takeovers.Not during million-dollar negotiations.Not even when Zion Group almost collapsed years ago.But this?This terrified him.For the past six hours, he had called everyone he could think of.Her mother.Her colleagues.Old university friends.Business associates.Even people Amy barely spoke to anymore.Nothing.No one had seen her.No one had heard from her.The realization hit harder every passing minute—Amy had left without her things.Her handbag was still sitting in the office.Her phone, too.Which meant she had no way to contact anyone.And worse?No way for him to reach her.Zion paced his office restlessly, loosening his tie in frustration. His usually neat hair was disheveled from how many times he had dragged his hands through it.“Think, Zion,” he muttered to himself. “Where would she go?”He stopped suddenly.Then cursed under his breath.Her grandmother.Hours earlier...Amy sat quietly by the

    Amy threw her heels across the room the second her bedroom door slammed shut behind her.One landed near the vanity.The other hit the wall.“Perfect,” she muttered bitterly.She loosened the collar of her blouse and stared at herself in the mirror.Calm face.Perfect hair.Controlled expression.Ex

    Zion had just finished his coffee and was about to head out when a sharp scream pierced through the quiet of the house.“Amy!” he called, his heart racing as he dashed up the stairs two steps at a time.He burst into the room to find her on the floor of the walk-in closet, her face twisted in pain.
