Chapter 50 – The Weight of BloodAriana’s POVThe word echoed in my head long after Victor said it.Pregnant.I stared at him like he’d spoken a foreign language, one I refused to understand. My chest felt tight, my lungs burning as if the air had suddenly vanished.“That’s a lie,” I said hoarsely. “You’re lying.”Victor didn’t blink. He never did when he was certain.“I don’t lie about things that matter,” he replied calmly. “Especially not leverage.”Ethan turned to me so fast it startled me. “Ariana… is that true?”Luca didn’t speak. His face had gone rigid, every muscle locked in place, eyes dark with something dangerous and unreadable.My father’s grip tightened around my hand. “What is he talking about?”“I—I don’t know,” I whispered. But even as the words left my mouth, my body betrayed me. The nausea. The exhaustion. The missed period I’d brushed off as stress.Victor saw the realization dawn on my face and smiled faintly.“You found out already,” he said. “Good. Saves time.”

Chapter 52 – The Lie That ProtectsAriana’s POVThe room stopped breathing.Luca’s words hung in the air like a gunshot that never echoed—too loud, too final, too impossible to take back.The child is mine.Ethan turned to him slowly, disbelief etched across every line of his face. “You’re lying.”Luca didn’t blink. “I’m not.”My knees weakened, and I had to grip the back of the couch to stay upright. “Luca,” I whispered, my voice breaking. “Why would you say that?”His gaze finally shifted to me. There was something there I hadn’t seen before—something fierce and determined, but also… resigned.“Because someone has to end this,” he said quietly.Victor laughed.It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t cruel. It was worse—controlled, amused, confident. “Interesting strategy.”“It’s not a strategy,” Luca snapped. “It’s the truth.”Victor stepped closer, circling him like a predator evaluating prey. “You expect me to believe you suddenly grew a conscience?”“I don’t care what you believe.”“I do,” Eth

Chapter 54 – The Test That Was Never MineAriana’s POVVictor didn’t raise his voice.That was the worst part.He stood in the doorway of the storage room like a judge who already knew the verdict, his eyes fixed on the envelope in my hand. The papers inside felt heavier now—like evidence that had waited patiently for me to catch up.“I told you,” he said calmly, “to bring anything Luca gives you to me.”Ethan stepped in front of me again. “You don’t get to intimidate her.”Victor’s gaze slid to him. Cold. Measuring.“I’m not intimidating anyone. I’m correcting a situation that’s spiraling.”I laughed shakily. “You mean controlling it.”Victor walked in slowly, each step deliberate. “You found documents you don’t understand.”“I understand enough,” I shot back. “You ordered a pregnancy test weeks before I even suspected anything.”Ethan stiffened. “What?”Victor didn’t deny it.He didn’t even flinch.“Because I don’t leave things to chance,” he said. “Especially when reputations, fami

Chapter 56 – Blood Doesn’t LieAriana’s POVThe room didn’t explode.That was the strangest part.After everything—after the slap, the lies, the DNA, the truth sliding out like poison—the Sterling bedroom didn’t erupt into chaos. It just… froze. Like the house itself was holding its breath.My mother stood in the doorway, clutching my phone like it might bite her.“What do you mean,” she said slowly, “you altered the sample?”Victor turned to her, his expression shifting—not into panic, not into guilt—but into something colder. Calculated.“Miriam,” he said, “this isn’t a conversation for—”“For who?” she cut in sharply. “Your wife? Or the girl you just struck?”Ethan moved immediately, stepping between me and Victor like a wall. His hands were shaking. I could feel it.“You hit her,” he said, voice low and shaking with barely restrained fury. “You crossed a line you can’t uncross.”Victor exhaled through his nose. “Step aside.”“No.”The single word was firm. Final.My mother’s eyes

Chapter 58 – The ConditionAriana’s POVThe word conditions echoed in my head long after Victor stopped speaking.I felt like the ground had tilted beneath my feet, like I was standing on the edge of something deep and unforgiving. My fingers curled into the fabric of my jeans as I tried to steady my breathing.“You can’t do that,” my mother said, her voice trembling. “You already signed the will.”Victor’s smile didn’t reach his eyes. “Wills can be amended. You know that.”The lawyer adjusted his glasses, clearly uncomfortable. “Mr. Sterling exercised his legal right to add a codicil. It doesn’t revoke the inheritance—it… redirects it.”“To obedience,” Ethan snapped.Victor finally looked at him fully. “To order.”My stomach twisted. “Say it plainly,” I said. “What exactly are the conditions?”Victor stepped closer, ignoring Ethan’s glare. His presence filled the room, heavy and deliberate.“You stay in the house,” he said. “You live under my roof. You finish college. You don’t move
