Tom’s POV.

I gaze around the room at the mess I had just made.

“Where is it? Where are the results? I could have sworn I left it in this drawer."

I threw the beddings off the bed for the document.

Anger seeped through my veins. "Where are those things when you need them?"

I stopped for a second, thinking. Where had I seen it last?

Out of instinct, I stooped to my knees and looked underneath the bed. The folder lay just at the edge.

“Found it!”

Perfectly sealed. Hidden from sight. I raised it to

  • Married to a Narcissist, Pregnant With My Ex’s Child   I am sorry, Mrs. Selene.

    Selene’s POV. Doctor John remained stiff. His lips parted and closed. I arched a brow. “How may I help you?” “Stop the pretense.” I muttered through gritted teeth, "My patience is minimal. You better start talking." He gazed at me for what seemed like minutes. Then he exhaled. “Have a seat, please," he said, pointing to the seat behind me. I hesitated, but my legs shook a little and I didn’t think I could have this conversation on my feet. I sat while he remained standing. He clasped his hands in front of him. “I guess you have found out the truth.” I said nothing. He gazed at me, but his eyes were behind me. “Your husband…” “Ex…” I interrupted. He looked away. “He paid me to do it.” The words hung between us.I waited for him to laugh.To tell me it was some sick joke.He didn’t.My ears began to ring.It felt as though every sound in the room had been sucked away.Tom.Tom had known.Tom had always known.My stomach twisted; I leaned back in the seat. I should have kn

  • Married to a Narcissist, Pregnant With My Ex’s Child   Revisit.

    Selene’s POV. "M…u…m," I sniffled into her shoulder. She guided me into the living room, and we sat on a long sofa. She walked into the kitchen and handed me a napkin and a glass of water. "Here, honey,” she said, her brows furrowed. I took it from her and wiped my face, then took a sip of water and placed the glass carefully on the table. Mother stared at me wide-eyed. “What’s the problem, Selene? Talk to me.” My lips parted to speak, but then I remembered. And the tears came spilling out again. Mother leaned backward, alarmed. “Selene, you are scaring me now. What’s wrong?” I reached into my bag and brought out the piece of paper the doctor had given to me earlier. Her eye narrowed as she slowly took it from me. I watched her unfold it like it was a bomb that might explode. She raised the piece of paper to her eye level and squinted. Her eyes slowly widened even more. Her lips hung agape. “Selene!” She muttered, "This is good news.” I shook my head. “No, Mother, you wo

  • Married to a Narcissist, Pregnant With My Ex’s Child   A revelation.

    Selene’s POV. I sat in the waiting room, clutching my bag a little too tightly. I just had to be sure. Waves of emotions surged through me on that seat. To my left, a pregnant woman sat calmly with her husband next to her. Her palm was carefully folded into his. I looked away. To the side a little boy sat moving an action figure in the air. My leg bobbed. I wiped away a drop of sweat from my forehead. "Ma'am," the rose-cheeked nurse said, pointing to me. “You may come in now." I wiped my palm over my gown and walked into the small room. I closed the door quietly behind me. I hadn’t been to one of these rooms in a long time. My nose tingled from the smell. White walls.A desk.An examination bed tucked neatly into one corner.The nurse offered me a reassuring smile.“Have a seat, please.”I did.She asked me a few routine questions. The date of my last period. Whether I had been feeling nauseous. Dizzy. More tired than usual.I answered each one softly, my voice sounding st

  • Married to a Narcissist, Pregnant With My Ex’s Child   False alarm.

    Rowland’s POV. I sat watching the building. My fingers tightened around the wheel. What business could Tom possibly have in a place like this? I wasn’t meant to be doing this. I should tell the police. But they seemed to be taking their time. My secretary had walked in this morning to inform me that a delivery driver had walked into my office that morning insisting he’d seen Tom near this abandoned block.What I came here for, I don’t know. I leaned forward and squinted when a teenager walked out of the building. He glanced around before placing his hoody over his head and walking away. He kept one hand buried in the pocket of his hoodie as if protecting something.I shook my head. “Maybe I should go back. Call the police.” ‘No!’ I glanced at my phone, still no text from Selene. I wasn’t going to text her. I didn’t want to be where I wasn’t needed. My hand hovered over my phone.One call.That’s all it would take.The investigators would tell me to wait.Secure the area.Sta

  • Married to a Narcissist, Pregnant With My Ex’s Child   Test result.

    Selene’s POV. “Ma’am!”I froze. “Maam?” Closer this time. I spun around. A teenage grocery employee stops a few feet from me. Holding a note, smiling awkwardly. “You forgot your change, ma'am." “Oh?” I laughed. How embarrassing. “My change?” I blinked.The tension left my body all at once.He nodded. “Yes, ma'am." “Oh.”Heat crept up my neck.“Thank you. I’m… sorry.” I took it from him and fumbled for my actual keys. The young boy turned around and half jogged back into the building. I unlocked the car door, stuffed the bags into the back seat, and slid into the driver's seat. I allowed myself to lean into the chair. I rubbed my forehead softly. “Gracious, what am I turning into?" What’s the time?” I reached into my bag for my phone. “The batteries are out." It must have died a long time ago. I shoved it back in and eased out of the parking lot, checking the rearview mirror more times than I cared to admit.*******I pulled into my street. The light illuminated the da

  • Married to a Narcissist, Pregnant With My Ex’s Child   Skeptical.

    Rowland’s POV I walked straight to the investigator's office without knocking. She looked up from the file on her desk, a surprised expression on her face before she quickly masked it. “Mr Brooke’s…” “Have you found him?” She blinked. “We are still following several…” “No!” I shook my head. "Don't give me that.” She leaned back. Her expression was stern now. “I saw him yesterday.” Silence. “I saw the man you’ve been telling me you’re trying to find.” I planted both palms on her desk and leaned forward. “He was so close; not even a single thread of fear was in him.” She remained calm. Which pissed me off even more. “And then?” she asked. “And then he disappeared.” I laughed once, a dry chuckle. "He vanished," I said, with the snap of my finger, "into thin air, Inspector." My jaw tightened. “So explain something to me.” She waited. “How does a man who’s supposedly being investigated simply disappear “We’re doing everything within our—” “E

    Selene’s POV. I tossed the scrambled piece of paper into the trash for the thirteenth time. My head was a big mess. I stared at the report I was given to take care of as part of my team contribution to the magazine and I had only two days to turn it in. I placed my head on the desk slowly. I hadn

    Rowland’s POV I didn’t go to work today. My mind spiraled. I hated seeing Selene look that way. She looked so fragile, so pale. I walked to my wine cellar and popped open a bottle of champagne. I closed my eyes, savoring the feel of the alcohol going down my throat. How was I going to hel

    Selene's POV."What do you want, Lisa?" I said through gritted teeth, hoping she would just walk away."Oh honey, don't be dramatic. This is where I come to eat. I should be asking you. I don't see you around." Her eyes moved to Rowland. "Or him."Rowland adjusted in his seat; his eyes never left m
