Aria...

My hands trembled as I unfolded the note. The handwriting alone was enough to make my heart stop. I recognized it instantly. It was my father's. My eyes filled with tears before I even read the first word. Taking a shaky breath, I began reading.

My Sweetheart,

If you're reading this, then you woke up safely. I don't know if you'll ever forgive me, and the truth is... I don't expect you to. Every father dreams of having a daughter like you—kind, compassionate, selfless, and willing to sa

  • Pregnant with the Devil's Heir   The next move begins Tommorow.

    Lucian...The Business trips never interested me. Every luxury hotel looked the same—cold marble floors, expensive furniture, and breathtaking views that meant absolutely nothing to me. I had checked into one of the finest presidential suites in the city after concluding a meeting with foreign investors. A woman sent by one of my business partners kept me company, talking about fashion, parties, and people I couldn't care less about. I listened with half an ear, my attention fixed elsewhere. My phone rested on the edge of the table beside me, and the moment it vibrated, I picked it up without hesitation. A familiar notification appeared on the screen. Target Device Activity Detected. A slow smile spread across my face. Since the day Aria became my wife, every call, every message, every new contact, and every video call from her phone had been silently reported to me. It wasn't because I cared about her. It was because I needed to know every move she made. Every notification was anothe

    Aria...The days passed so quietly that I almost forgot what it felt like to wake up afraid.Lucian still hadn't spoken to me.Every morning, we shared breakfast in complete silence. He would sit at the head of the long dining table, dressed in one of his perfectly tailored suits, reading business reports while sipping black coffee. I would eat quietly, waiting for the usual insult that never came anymore. When he finished, he simply stood, adjusted the cuffs of his expensive suit, and walked out of the mansion without sparing me a single glance.It was strange.His silence should have frightened me.Instead...It gave me room to breathe.After breakfast, I completed my chores before spending hours in the garden with Alessandro. We planted flowers, watered the roses, and laughed whenever I managed to make a simple task far more complicated than it needed to be. Somewhere between digging flower beds and sharing coffee beneath the old oak tree, I had begun smiling again.Evenings becam

  • Pregnant with the Devil's Heir   The calm before the fall

    Lucian.....I stopped speaking to Aria.Not because I was embarrassed about what happened at the gala.Not because she had caught me with Isabella.And certainly not because I felt guilty.Guilt was an emotion I had buried a long time ago, along with every piece of the man I used to be. Aria probably believed my silence meant something had changed. Perhaps she thought I regretted humiliating her. Perhaps she imagined that seeing the look on her face that night had awakened some humanity inside me.She couldn't have been more wrong.Silence was simply another weapon.Sometimes it was sharper than words.I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of my office, dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit. The city stretched endlessly beneath me, filled with people chasing ordinary lives while I stood above them planning the destruction of another man's world. I slowly swirled the whiskey inside my crystal glass, watching the amber liquid catch the morning sunlight.Victor Romano.Ju

  • Pregnant with the Devil's Heir    A cup of peace

    Aria....The next morning was... peaceful. After catching Lucian and Isabella together at the gala, something had changed between us. I didn't know whether it was guilt, anger, or simply indifference, but he had stopped speaking to me altogether. No insults. No humiliating remarks. No cruel comments about my appearance. Even though we still had breakfast and dinner together every day, silence had replaced his usual hatred. He would quietly sip his coffee while reading the newspaper, and I would finish my meal without lifting my head. Strangely, I preferred this version of him. His silence hurt far less than his words ever had.After breakfast, I helped the kitchen staff finish the remaining chores. We cleaned the counters, arranged fresh vegetables, prepared ingredients for dinner, and organized the pantry. The maids chatted happily among themselves, occasionally pulling me into their conversations. Their laughter made the mansion feel a little less lonely. By noon, my work was finall

    Aria...My hands trembled as I unfolded the note. The handwriting alone was enough to make my heart stop. I recognized it instantly. It was my father's. My eyes filled with tears before I even read the first word. Taking a shaky breath, I began reading.My Sweetheart,If you're reading this, then you woke up safely. I don't know if you'll ever forgive me, and the truth is... I don't expect you to. Every father dreams of having a daughter like you—kind, compassionate, selfless, and willing to sacrifice everything for the people she loves. You gave up your freedom, your future, and your happiness to save my company. No father should ever ask his daughter to make such a sacrifice, yet I did. I failed you, not as a businessman, but as your father.I know you must hate me, and perhaps I deserve every bit of that hatred. If I could turn back time, I would rather lose every penny, every building, and every company than lose your smile. But it's too late now. I cannot save you. Lucian Devereu

  • Pregnant with the Devil's Heir   I'm not a slut.

    Aria....Then I met some old friends.For a little while, I managed to smile. We exchanged polite greetings, spoke about old memories, and pretended that everything was normal. But my attention wasn't on the conversation. From the corner of my eye, I saw Lucian and Isabella quietly leave the ballroom together, disappearing down the hallway leading to the private restrooms.A strange feeling settled in my chest.Without realizing it, I took a step in that direction."Aria!"One of my father's old business partners stopped me."It's been so long. How have you been?"I forced another smile."I'm... doing well."He continued talking about business, my father, and my marriage. Every second felt like an eternity. My eyes kept drifting toward the hallway, but it would have been rude to walk away.The moment our conversation ended, I apologized and excused myself."I'll see you again later."I hurried down the quiet hallway.The music from the ballroom became faint behind me.As I approached
