Chapter 31

ZacharyEver since Quinn came back, with all the chaos of the pregnancy and everything that followed, Aria had never once ignored me when I felt the need to have her by my side. She always made sure I didn't feel neglected, not even for once. But this day was different. She didn't respond to my message. She read the message and then few minutes later, I watched her grab her coat and head out the door . I stood there in that corner watching her leave. Not anger. Curiosity ignited in me. I messaged, because I was going to give her the property documents to the stores, when I told her at first, she didn't believe me but she didn't say much, she felt I was just teasing but I meant every statement I uttered so far as it wa directed towards her.What could make her be in that much of a hurry?Something was off. I grabbed my keys without thinking twice.I saw fear across her face when she glanced back once, her eyes darting like she was scared of being followed. I saw nervousness in the way

Aria"For the umpteenth time, that's enough Quinn." I yelled at him, he froze for a whileHe stood there by the door, arms loaded with shiny bags from those fancy stores, my stores actually, the kind with gold lettering that screamed money. Another day, another pile of gifts. Designer baby clothes, soft blankets and those ridiculous oversized teddy bears. I wanted to shove it all back at him.Every single day it was the same. New gifts, designer items, sometimes flowers that wilthered on the nightstand before I could even tend to it . And the crazy thing? He never listened. Not once.He acted like the perfect husband in moments—smiling that practiced smile, eyes soft as if he could rewrite our story. But we both knew the real him. The one who slipped out at odd hours, the one whose phone buzzed with messages he deleted too quickly. Multiple girlfriends. Lies stacked on lies. The only reason this marriage still existed was that damn prenup. One solid proof of cheating, and the claus

Author's POV "I was just kidding." Quinn said and burst out laughing, but to Aria it didn't seem like that, it felt real, his facial expression changed, he gripped her neck tight and almost suffocated her. It wasn't a joke...it felt real, it seemed real. "Loosen up, it's really nothing deep." He rubbed his palm on her cheek. To Aria, there was withdrawal despite Quinn's words. He had declared, "I was just kidding," before suddenly bursting out laughing. Yet it didn't register as humor for her; instead, it felt entirely real. His facial expression had shifted noticeably as he gripped her neck tight, nearly suffocating her in the process. The incident wasn't a joke in her perception. It felt real, and it seemed real. ★★★ Aria's body relaxed as Zachary's hands gripped her waist, pulling her closer against him. His lips brushed her ear teasingly. He chuckled softly, "You're pregnant you shouldn't do this, you know that?" he whispered, his fingers tracing her skin. He kissed her neck

Chapter 34

Author POVQuinn entered his car and also followed behind Zachary's car. Zachary's vehicle pulled out ahead, moving fast through the streets. Quinn stayed right behind, matching every turn without a gap.Zachary lost his composure, the woman he loves was in danger, he forgot she didn't want to be seen in public places with him, she didn't want the attention and most importantly she didn't want Quinn to have a reason to become suspicious, but his actions could arouse suspicion. They reached the hospital entrance. Zachary slammed his door and moved quick to the passenger side. He helped Aria out, his arm around her waist. Quinn parked nearby and stepped out, his shoes hitting the ground hard. He walked up without a word, eyes locked on them."Emergency. Now." Zachary ordered, his voice loud almost like yelling. The nurses looked up fast. They dragged a stretcher fast while another quickly called the attention of the Doctors. Zachary's face was fierce, hard to resist, the hospital knew

Aria."Zachary. Go home." I urged. I did not want him to leave, but I had to say it."Anywhere you're is home." He responded. His eyes locked on mine. He stood there by my bed.I let out a slow breath. Quinn had left earlier. He said he had urgent business to attend to. He could not stay with me for the night. Part of me felt relieved. Now it was just Zachary and me.I knew I had to persuade Zachary to leave too. His absence would be noticed if he stayed too long. People would talk. Earlier, when I fell, he carried me in his arms. Quinn saw it. That already looked odd. If they found out Zachary spent the night here, it would look even stranger. I could not risk that. Not now.But my body did not listen to my words. My fingers grabbed the hem of his outfit tightly. I held on without thinking.I did not want to let go. I wished he could stay right here, close to me, all night."Your actions says otherwise." He said as he looked down at my hand.I realized what I was doing. "Sorry." I l
