Accidentally Pregnant for a Devil Billionaire CHAPTER NINETEEN
Juliet's povThis was when the door finally swung open with a loud creak.Josh stood there, grinning, a fresh bottle of red wine in his hand. “Boss, I got the good stuff—”His voice cut off.The smile slid right off his face the moment he saw me.I was a mess.Hair tangled, cheeks stained with tears, my dress clinging awkwardly to my skin where the wine had soaked through. My whole body felt like it had been wrung out and discarded.Josh’s mouth opened like he wanted to say something. But nothing came out.Good.There was nothing he could say to fix this.Without a word, I snatched up my bag from the floor and stormed past him, my heels crunching against the broken glass on the way out.I didn’t even glance at Nickolas. I couldn't. If I did, I might kill him.Outside, the night air slapped me in the face.I flagged down the first taxi I saw and climbed inside, giving the driver my mother's address with a shaking voice.I kept my head down the whole ride, gripping the seatbelt until my

Juliet’s povI stared at the pregnancy test in my trembling hands, my breath hitching in my throat. Two lines. Positive."I'm pregnant? How is that possible?" My voice was barely above a whisper, filled with disbelief. My fingers clenched the small stick so tightly that my knuckles turned white.I had never been with a man. I had no boyfriend. How could this be happening? It had to be a mistake.Just this morning, I had gone to the hospital after weeks of feeling weak and nauseous. My period had been absent for too long, and I thought I might be sick. But when the doctor handed me a pregnancy test, I laughed at the absurdity of it."There’s no way," I had told her. "I’ve never..."But the doctor simply gave me a knowing look and asked me to take the test anyway. And now, here I was, staring at an impossible truth.A loud knock on my door made me jolt."Juliet! How long are you going to take?" Mollie’s impatient voice rang through the door. "The guests are waiting!"I swallowed my pani

Juliet’s povI stared at Sherlyn who averted her gaze lightly, my chest heaving with fury, my nails digging into my palms. A cold realization crawled up my spine. She knew exactly what Mollie had done to me at this moment.My breathing turned ragged, my voice shaking with barely contained rage. "The medical check-up two months ago... It was a setup, wasn’t it?"Sherlyn's lips pursed, but she didn’t deny it, while Mollie just gave me her usual smirk.My stomach churned. I felt sick, disgusted. How far had they gone? My voice rose, each word laced with horror. "You made sure I ended up pregnant, and now you’re forcing me to marry Nickolas! How could you?"Sherlyn took a deep breath, smoothing the front of her dress as though that would wipe away the weight of her evil. “Juliet, think rationally,” she said, her voice adopting a patient, almost condescending tone. “You’re pregnant out of wedlock. If your father finds out, he might not survive the shock. Is that what you want? To put him

Juliet’s POVDella’s stare was razor-sharp, slicing right through me as the car hummed softly beneath us. I clenched my hands in my lap, the words caught like thorns in my throat.But I had to speak.“I was set up,” I said quietly, the words scraping out like dry leaves. “My stepmother and stepsister… They arranged the artificial insemination behind my back. I didn’t even know until it was done.”Della didn’t move. Not a blink, not a sigh. She sat still as ice, her fingers tapping against the leather armrest...measured and cold.“You expect me to believe that?” she asked, voice smooth as glass.I swallowed. “I don’t expect anything. But it’s true. I swear it. I didn’t ask for any of this… ”“Whether you were involved or not,” she cut in, “you’re carrying the Ries heir now. That child represents this family. I will not tolerate scandal.”“I understand,” I murmured. “I’ll protect the baby. I’ll be careful.”Even if I had no idea what that actually meant.A faint smile flickered at her l

Juliet’s POV“Marie!” I shrieked, practically flying down the hallway. “He’s awake! Nickolas is awake!”Marie, who had been instructing a maid near the dining hall, turned sharply toward me. "What?" Her brows furrowed as she came closer. "What happened? Are you sure, Mrs. Ries?"“I... I don’t know,” I stammered. “I was applying lip balm because his lips were dry, and suddenly, his eyes just… opened. He looked right at me.”Instead of panicking, Marie’s expression softened with calm understanding. “Ah, yes. That’s happened before,” she said. “Young Master Nickolas has been opening his eyes occasionally these past few months. It’s a reflex. Don’t worry, it doesn’t mean he’s awake yet.”My heart sank. “So... he didn’t see me?”Marie offered a reassuring smile. “I know it can be startling, but this isn’t new. Let’s go check, shall we?”I followed her back to the room, trying to tame the pounding in my chest. When we entered, Nickolas looked the same as always... still and silent, his eyes

Juliet’s POVI froze in place, staring at his furious eyes, my breath catching in my throat.That hoarse voice… it had come from him.He had spoken.For a split second, I couldn’t move, my fingers still hovering near the waistband of his pants. Then, reality slammed into me like a wave.I scrambled off the bed, the motion knocking over the water basin. The sound of it crashing to the floor was drowned out by the roar of my heart. Cold water seeped through my slippers, but I barely noticed."Marie!" I gasped, spotting the housekeeper at the foot of the stairs. "He... he spoke! He’s awake! He actually spoke!"Her brows furrowed in confusion. "What? Are you certain?""Yes!" I nodded frantically, gripping her sleeve. "He looked right at me and asked who I was. He’s awake, I swear!"A sharp intake of breath was the only response before Marie turned on her heel and pulled out her phone."I need the doctor. Now." Then, without missing a beat, she called Della. "Madam... he's awake."Within m

Juliet’s POV“You must be very disappointed that I woke up, huh?”That was the first thing I heard the next morning as I stepped out of my room for breakfast.The words hit me like a slap, freezing me in place. My legs locked, breath caught. Slowly, I leaned forward and peeked around the corner.A tall, muscular man knelt on the marble floor, head bowed low, trembling like a prisoner awaiting execution.And towering over him... without standing... sat Nickolas Ries, cold and silent in his black wheelchair.His hand was tangled in the man’s hair, yanking his head back hard.“N-No, boss,” the man stammered, face twisted in pain, eyes wide with terror.Nickolas’s smile was like a blade. “You were behind me that night. I watched my car burst into flames. And while I screamed and bled, where were you?”“I… I blacked out. I got hit too, I didn’t... ”“You passed out?” Nickolas’s grip tightened. The man cried out. “You were trained to die before I did.”He let go. The man collapsed, gasping.

Juliet’s POVHis words cut through me like a blade.“Why… Why do you hate your baby so much?” My voice barely made it past the lump in my throat.He leaned back in his chair, expression cool and distant. “Because I never wanted it. I don’t like children. Why would I want a parasite leeching off me?”The coldness in his voice made my stomach twist. I could hardly believe I was hearing this. My chest heaved, struggling to hold back the surge of emotion clawing its way out.Just then, Marie stepped in, her calm voice slicing through the tension.“Sir, it was Lady Della who wished to keep the child,” she said, standing in front of me like a human shield.Nickolas scoffed, his lips curling in a mocking smile. “Of course she did. She loves turning people into bargaining chips.”Then his eyes cut back to me, sharp and unfeeling. “And as for you... I have no use for a breeding tool.”His words stung worse than a slap. My heart clenched so tightly it hurt to breathe.“Fine,” I snapped, barely

Juliet’s POVI was done.Nickolas’s eyes were bloodshot. Wild. Unhinged.Just like the night he first woke up.Except now... he was even worse.His lips curled into a sneer, and I felt a shiver ripple down my spine.I took a step back, my heart pounding in my chest.“No, I don’t drink," I said firmly, keeping my voice steady. "I’m pregnant, remember?”I exhaled sharply, emphasizing the words, each syllable laced with anger and disbelief. Inside, I cursed him—cursed the way he spoke to me so arrogant.But his expression didn’t soften.Not even a little.He just stared at me like I was some disgusting insect he couldn’t wait to crush.“Okay, I’m leaving,” I said, my fingers scrambling for the handle.I yanked it.It didn’t budge.Locked.Panic spiked in my chest.“Josh?” I banged my fists against the door. “Josh, open up! Now!”No response.And then—CRASH!A wine glass whizzed past my ear, shattering against the door with a deafening crack.I staggered back, the sharp shards glittering

Juliet’s POVI stared at the email on my phone for the third time, like it might suddenly change.Was it a scam?I forwarded the email to Frank and immediately called him. “Did you see it? Please tell me it's real.” I blurted the second he picked up.“Yeah. Looks legit,” Frank said. “Don’t worry, Juliet. I’ll go with you, just to be safe.”Relief rushed through me. “Thank you. See you tomorrow.”The next morning, I slipped quietly downstairs. Warm sunlight spilled across the marble floors, and the smell of coffee and fresh bread filled the air.Marie waved a spatula at me when she spotted me. “Good morning, Mrs. Ries. Breakfast’s ready.”I relaxed a little seeing Nickolas wasn’t around.“He’s already left for the office,” Marie said, picking up on my unspoken relief.I smiled faintly and sat down.“You act like you’re scared of him,” she teased gently.“Not scared,” I said, reaching for the toast. “Just… trying to avoid unnecessary battles.”Marie chuckled. “Mr. Ries can seem harsh, b

Juliet's povLola took a slow sip of her coffee, the smirk on her lips returning like it had never left. “You know,” she began, her voice soft but laced with pride, “Nick and I have history. Deep history. We’ve known each other since we were kids. I was there when he took over his first company. God, I’ll never forget the way he looked at me when he got the news... like I was the only person he wanted to celebrate with…”I nodded, pretending to be engaged as I stirred my juice. “Hmm.”Lola’s eyes snapped to mine, “Seriously, don’t you like him?”I looked her dead in the eye. “No. I don’t.”“You’re lying,” she laughed dryly. “He’s Nickolas Ries. Brilliant, powerful, devastatingly handsome. Women throw themselves at him and he doesn’t even flinch. Are you seriously telling me none of that gets to you?”“I’m telling you, I never wanted to be with him in the first place,” I replied calmly. “This whole ridiculous marriage only happened because of an accidental pregnancy—and because I want

Juliet’s POVI took a cab straight to Wilkes Group.Nickolas’s words were still ringing in my ears.He thought I was weak. Some gold-digging bitch. A slut who purposely tried to trap him with a baby. God, I would make him regret it.I had to stay strong and rebuild my crumbling company.If not for myself, then for my baby.I walked into Wilkes Group with my chin held high, even as my heart pounded. The building loomed cold and intimidating—glass, marble, and silent judgment.I stepped up to the reception desk.“Hi! I’m here to see Mr. Charley Wilkes,” I said, trying to sound confident.The receptionist didn’t glance up, fingers flying over her keyboard. “Do you have an appointment?”I hesitated, pulse skipping. “No, but it’s really important. Please—just let him know Juliet Ries is here.”She gave me a practiced, disinterested smile. “I’m sorry. Mr. Wilkes doesn’t see walk-ins. I can schedule another time for you. Tomorrow, three p.m?”Tomorrow. Three p.m.That meant another sleeples

Juliet’s POV"No man in his right mind would tolerate his wife dressing indecently and accompanying other men to bars like a whore..."I stood by the door, frozen. The book I’d brought to return—his book—slipped from my hands and hit the floor with a dull thud.Just five minutes ago, I saw his car parked outside. I told myself it was the perfect excuse. A chance to say thank you… maybe soften the tension between us.All I planned to do was drop off the book, thank him for last night, and walk away.But now…Now all I saw was red.I picked up the book with trembling fingers, stormed into the study, and slammed it onto his desk.Nickolas looked up, momentarily surprised, before his expression turned ice cold. “Did I say you could touch my books?” he snapped. “That book’s worth more than your entire wardrobe.”I didn’t flinch.“Does wearing a dress make me indecent?” I asked calmly, though my voice shook with barely-contained rage. “Or is it just existing in your suffocating little worl

Juliet’s POVDella Ries stood there, perfectly dressed in her beige designer suit and heels, but her face was worried, her lips drawn tight. For a second, I thought she was going to slap me... but then she surged forward and grabbed my hands.“Are you alright, Juliet? I thought I was going to faint when I heard what happened,” she said sharply, her voice trembling. “My blood pressure nearly killed me!”I blinked, stunned. “I... I’m sorry…”“The doctor said the baby’s fine. Thank God. But Juliet,” she hissed, her eyes narrowing. “What were you thinking going out alone in your condition? Meeting that man? You're carrying a Ries heir, not some street orphan!”“I didn’t know he...” My voice cracked with shame.She waved it off like it didn’t matter. “You should have known. You think everyone is your friend just because you smile? This world will eat you alive. You're a Ries now! Act like it!”I felt small under her sharp gaze. “I’ll be more careful next time.”Della scoffed. “Next time?

Juliet’s povMy eyes flew open and almost immediately a headache slammed into me.It was as if I was rising from a nightmare. My hands were heavy, my mouth dry, and my head throbbed with every breath I took. The ceiling above me was familiar… too familiar. It was spinning too. My gaze drifted slowly around the room.I was in my bedroom.Wearing clean pajamas.My heart jumped.How...?And then… last night.The dinner.The juice.The heat in my body.Caleb’s vile hands reaching for me.My screams.The locked door.The bottle.The blood.Then… Josh Thorn.A wave of nausea surged through me as my mind replayed everything. My fingers clutched the blanket like it could somehow hold me together. My heart was hammering now, not from fear but from rage… rage at Caleb, at this pervert who tried to force me.Luckily, Josh appeared… had he followed me on Nickolas’s orders? Did he know that I was walking into a trap? No. It couldn’t be. He hated me. He said he’d rather strangle the baby out of
Accidentally Pregnant for a Devil Billionaire CHAPTER ELEVEN
Nickolas’s POVJuliet. My wife.I stood by the window and watched her hurry out of the house in a clingy slip dress. Her movements were quick, her face pretty. It was too late for her to be going anywhere decent.“What the hell is she doing?” I muttered.Josh stepped beside me, silent for a second too long.“She’s been visiting banks all week,” he said finally. “Trying to secure a loan to save her father’s pathetic company. It’s falling apart. No one will touch it. Tonight…” he hesitated, jaw tightening, “she’s meeting Caleb Weston.”My jaw clenched. Caleb Weston. That name was a red flag soaked in gasoline.“The one with the sexual harassment lawsuits?” I asked, my voice like ice.Josh nodded grimly. “Three former employees accused him of drugging their drinks during business meetings. One woman disappeared after her testimony... vanished without a trace. They found another in a psych ward, unable to speak...”I turned slowly to face him, the rage rising like a tidal wave.“And Julie
