Lexi POV I clear my throat nervously before saying “Hi.”“Hi,” Ethan says back in that low and smooth voice of his that makes heat pool low in my belly.I have no idea how long I stand there, simply staring at him until he smirks and asks, “So…can I come in, or do intend to have this conversation like this?”“I'm so sorry…come in.” I step aside, pulling the door wider.Lexi…you idiot. I can't believe I let myself get distracted by his face. It's not like Ethan is the most attractive man I have ever seen - okay, this might be a lie - but it does not mean I should let myself get distracted by him. It's a good thing Emily is here to help me out.He walks past me, his presence immediately making the apartment feel ten degrees warmer. He pauses for a while the moment inside, scanning the space like he’s not used to homes this small, and then I remember how huge just the living room of his penthouse apartment is…of course, he has never stepped foot in this kind of place before…what were we

Lexi POV What the hell just happened? I had not been expecting Ethan to call me back, so when I saw the call I did not want to pick up, but Emily snatched my phone and did it, and I had no choice but to talk to him.But of all things...I was not expecting this…not at all. Ethan apologized. He wants to meet up and talk properly and he wants me to pick somewhere I'm comfortable with this time. My thoughts keep swirling around in my head and I have no idea what to think.Then Emily says exactly what I’m thinking.“Did he just... apologize?”I blink at her. “Yeah, I think so. Either that or we are both hallucinating from stress and malnutrition. He wants to talk…”Emily stares at me for a few seconds before she snorts “I have no idea how you should even handle this.”“Welcome to the club,” I mutter. I am so confused…and tired of everything. I keep wanting to sleep and wake up to see that this was all a terrible nightmare, but no…this is my life now.“Do you want to hear him out?”“I do n

Ethan POV “It’s about a lot of things,” she says smoothly, folding her hands in her lap. “But we cannot pretend that this situation does not come with...opportunities.”“Opportunities?” I echo.“Of course. A proper Blackwood family…wife, children, and a legacy. Your grandfather will not care about how it happened, you know that he only ever cares about appearances and he will be glad about this.”“Lexi is not exactly…” I have no idea how to finish the statement. If I tell my mother that Lexi is not my type, she would ask how I was attracted enough to have sex with her, and I am not about to have that conversation with my mother.“And what about Victoria?” I ask instead.My mother snorts…a very unladylike, un-Catherine Blackwood type of snort. “Please. That mannequin with a trust fund? The only time I can tolerate her is when she keeps her mouth shut, and she never does that. We both know how I feel about your relationship with her, but as you are an adult, I cannot dictate how to liv

Ethan POV “I offered her a glass of wine to unwind, but she kept refusing. I thought she was being uptight, so I kept pushing…and then she blurted out that she’s pregnant with twins and they are mine.”And covers her mouth like she did not mean to say it. I recall her actions vividly.Rafaelle whistles low. “That’s… a lot.”“I know.”“And you… what, accused her of lying?” Of course, he would figure it all out although I tried to not bring that up.I stare at the floor instead of replying.“Ethan.”“I might have called her a gold digger too, and while she was crying I told her to leave or I would call security,” I mutter. Now that I have the time to think about my actions that night, I might have gone overboard.Rafaelle groans and throws his head back as he sinks into the leather chair across from me. “I have no idea why I'm surprised, you always get mean when you're in a tight spot, but this is too much, even for you…so what are you going to do now?”“I have no idea, that's why I ca

Ethan POV I'm sitting in my office the next day, hitting refresh on my phone like a madman instead of focusing on the work I have to get done.I cannot concentrate on anything, I'm just waiting for Martin’s update like it’s going to change the outcome. Like it’s going to undo the reality that Lexi might be pregnant with my children.My phone pings with a text, and once I see that it's from Martin, I open it immediately, staring at the time he sent nervously.Open it, Ethan, I push myself, and with a sigh, I tap on it. It's all in there, recent pictures, receipts, and reports, Martin is very thorough with his work…and Lexi was telling the truth.I ball my hands into fists, how could I have let this happen? How could I have been so careless?I lean back in my chair and run a hand down my face. A bitter laugh escapes my throat before I can stop it. Of course…the one time that I assume a woman is trying to trick me, and she was just… telling the damn truth.God, what do I even do now?Tw

Lexi POV Emily reads out loud as she types:“Ethan. You do not know me, but you damn well know Lexi and let me tell you, she does not deserve the garbage you just dumped on her. You do not get to humiliate her, kick her out, and then pretend like you are the only victim here. She is pregnant with your babies, and you were there when it happened, so maybe try connecting the dots. This is not just about your reputation or your bank account. It’s about a woman who is scared and alone and trying to do the right thing. The least you can do is have a conversation like an adult. If you do not want to be involved, fine. That is your choice. But at least give her the divorce so she can move on with her life instead of being stuck in this circus. Grow up and be a better man. Take responsibility. Either way, leave her alone if you are not going to do the right thing.”My mouth falls open slightly. “You just… wow. That was a lot.”She breathes out hard like she just ran a marathon instead of sen
