Giovanni’s tone shifted slightly as he added, “I forgot to ask you, Regina, did you take a pregnancy test?”Regina blinked in shock. “What?”Giovanni’s voice was calm and insistent. “I’m just saying, with the weight gain and the nausea you have been dealing with, it could be pregnancy. Why not take a test and find out?”Regina shook her head, her heart racing. “I can’t be pregnant.”Giovanni chuckled lightly. “Darling, the only way you couldn’t be pregnant is if you’re a virgin.”Regina’s lips tightened, not in amusement but in discomfort. She didn’t know how to respond. She certainly was not a virgin. Not anymore. Giovanni continued, “If you are not a virgin and you have recently been with someone, just take the test. It will clear things up.” He paused before adding, “I have got your address. I will have some tests sent over to you. They will be there in minutes. I will check back in thirty minutes.”Thirty minutes later...Regina’s hands were trembling as she picked up the phone. G

Anastasia was scrolling through her phone when Damien entered the room. He leaned down, planting a soft kiss on her cheek and with a playful tone, asked, “Baby, why do you look like you are angry, pissed, and confused all at the same time?”“Regina withdrew from the competition,” Anastasia said, her voice carrying a hint of frustration.Damien raised an eyebrow. “From Scarlet Hearts?”Anastasia nodded, her eyes still glued to the screen. She scrolled down and stopped at a new notification. “Regina sold her company.”Damien’s curiosity peaked as he stepped closer, glancing at her phone. The headline caught his eye—Regina Spencer Sells Her Company to Highest Bidder, Joins Luxury Italian Brand as Chief Jewellery Designer. From running a multimillion-dollar company and being the heir to the Spencer fortune, she had now taken a drastic step back which was working as just another employee in Italy.Damien’s expression darkened. “Something is off with her.”Anastasia shrugged indifferently, h

The two of them walked out of the room, and Lovey immediately trotted over to Anastasia and began rubbing its head against her legs. With a laugh, she bent down to scoop up the puppy and kissed its soft fur.“Mommy loves her furry baby,” Anastasia cooed, and Lovey responded with an adorable bark that sounded more like a squeak.Damien shook his head, amused by the sight. “You are spoiling her more than you spoil me.”Anastasia shot him a playful look. “You get kisses, too, you know.” then, she went on her tiptoes and pressed a kiss on his cheek. They walked to the living room, Lovey was happily wiggling in Anastasia’s arms like she was the queen of the house. Inside, they found Adeline and Caleb engaged in a heated carrom game, and to their surprise, two more people were joining in who were Abel and Austin.“I know it is Sunday, but you guys don’t have to come here every week,” Damien said, raising an eyebrow.Abel flashed a grin. “We were bored. Besides, I can’t let Caleb and Adelin

Damien was strolling into the garden when his gaze landed on Anastasia who sat perched on the bench while delicately popping strawberries into her mouth. The sight was enough to make his anyone’s day pretty amazing. “I want you to accompany me to a party this week,” he announced, hands casually tucked into his pockets.Anastasia glanced up, her lips curving into a smile. “Okay,” she replied simply, a sparkle of happiness in her eyes. He wondered how she was always happy. This happy look on her face always ended up putting him in a better mood. Dear lord, this woman was the love of his life. Without breaking eye contact, she dipped a plump strawberry into chocolate and held it up to his lips. He obliged while biting into it as a smudge of chocolate clung to his lips. Anastasia didn’t miss a beat. Tugging his tie, she pulled him closer and darted her tongue across the smear and licked away the chocolate away from his lip. The feel of his soft and pouty lips mingled with chocolate wa

Harold who was watching her devour the cake with zero hesitation couldn’t resist a comment. “Not worried about calories today?”Usually, this girl count every calorie that she ate. It was as if calories were her enemies. Anastasia shot him a look as her tone suddenly sarcastic. “Old man, why don’t you mind your own business?”Harold crossed his arms, his brow lifting in mock authority. “You are my business. You are my employee.”She didn’t even pause between bites. “Don’t you have another daughter? Go annoy her instead.”Her offhand comment hit its mark and Harold’s face fell as his expression clouded with a rare sadness. “Actually, I don’t even have her,” he said quietly.Anastasia slowed her chewing while glancing at him briefly before shrugging. “Well, she sold her company for a ton of money. Your other daughter’s richey rich now.”Harold’s lips quirked as his tone lightened. “Are you jealous?”She snorted, waving her fork dismissively. “Why would I be? Do you know how rich my hus

Today, Anastasia accompanied Adeline to her gynaecologist appointment. She hadn’t missed a single one so far. As they looked at the sonogram, Anastasia was captivated. The baby’s features were becoming more distinct, and she could even make out the little chin which was an adorable cleft, unlike Adeline’s.Suddenly, Anastasia burst into laughter.Adeline turned to her, puzzled. “What is so funny?”“I think I just figured out the baby’s gender,” Anastasia said, grinning.Adeline quickly covered her ears. “Don’t tell me!”“Alright, I won’t,” Anastasia replied with a mischievous smile. Then, gazing at the sonogram image, she cooed, “Baby, your godmother loves you so much. You are my special little one, and I promise to love you endlessly when you are here.”The doctor while holding Adeline’s reports spoke in a serious tone. “Miss Kingsley, there is something we need to discuss.”Anastasia immediately grasped Adeline’s hand in support. The doctor continued, “You are currently in your twe

Anastasia stepped out of the doctor’s cabin her gaze met the older lady in the waiting area. She nodded politely. “Mrs. Arnello.”Delilah smiled warmly. “Anastasia, how are you, dear?”Since the last time, her behaviour towards Anastasia had turned softer as the dynamics in the Spencer family have changed. “Great,” Anastasia replied with a calm demeanour. “And you?”“I’m doing well,” Delilah said. Her tone was as gracious as ever. “I wanted to send a book to your friend. Would it be alright if I asked Ronan to pass it on to you?”Anastasia nodded thoughtfully. “That would work, or better yet, you could come to our place for tea sometime, Mrs Arnello. Adeline mentioned how much positivity she felt after speaking with you last time.”Delilah’s kind eyes turned to Adeline. “Is that so?” she asked, clearly touched.Adeline nodded with a shy smile.Delilah chuckled softly. “In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony. Girls, give me the address, and I will make sure to come for tea.”She did n

As Gideon was busy making bold declarations, a mature voice interrupted filled with amusement. “Here I was wondering where my son had wandered off to, only to find him simping over a pretty woman as usual!”Gideon turned and grabbed his mother’s hand with quite some seriousness. “Mom, I wanna marry the one who looks like Princess Jasmine!”Giovanni, his mother, glanced past her son at Anastasia who was half-hidden behind Damien. A chuckle escaped her lips as she remarked, “Son, don’t even think about that one. He cried his heart out for ten years to get her. That one is way too expensive for you.”Her gaze then shifted to Adeline who stood quietly beside Anastasia, looking slightly out of place. Giovanni’s eyes widened with recognition. “Damn, is that Adeline Kingsley in the flesh?”Adeline blinked, surprised. “You know me?”Giovanni smirked. “Girl, the whole world knows you.”Adeline smiled politely. “We have spoken over the phone. I’m Gideon’s friend.”Giovanni’s face lit up with pr

Damien asked, shocked, “What happened to Harold?”Jack replied, “He suffered a stroke. His condition is serious.”“Is Claire there?” Damien asked urgently.“Not yet, but the butler is. Claire has been informed and will be arriving soon,” Jack explained.Damien’s tone turned sharp. “Jack, get Harold out of the house as soon as possible. Don’t let Claire catch wind of it. Until she arrives, the butler has the authority to assist you. Once she’s there, she’ll take control. Warn the butler that this is all part of Claire’s grand plan. To eliminate Harold and seize everything. She is already plotting against Regina and Anna.”“Understood, sir. I will take care of it,” Jack assured him.When Damien ended the call, he turned to find Asher who was standing nearby and observing him quietly.Before Damien could talk to his eldest son, Darcy entered the room, followed closely by Summer who was carrying a sleeping Destiny. Despite the late hour, the couple had arrived, uncalled but concerned.Dam

While Ronan, Adeline, and Abel were at the hospital, Damien found himself pacing back and forth in the living room. He had been trying to contact Anastasia, but now her phone was switched off. She had been keeping him updated on the situation but with no recent word, his worry began to grow.“Dad, Rio is crying,” Maxey said softly, tugging at Damien’s sleeve.Damien turned quickly, his thoughts momentarily interrupted. “Oh…” he muttered, glancing toward the baby.As he turned, he noticed Asher holding Rio in his arms, while gently rocking him. To Damien’s surprise, Asher was singing the lullaby that Anastasia usually sang to soothe the baby. His voice was sweet and homely and before long, Rio’s cries quieted as he drifted off to sleep.Damien smiled faintly at the sight, feeling both pride and heartache.“Dad, when will Mom come home?” Asher asked, his voice filled with worry. “Is everything okay?”Damien ruffled his son’s hair, trying to reassure him. “Everything’s okay, kiddo,” he s

Anna made sure all the exits around the hospital were blocked. She was determined to stop anyone from escaping, especially since she was certain the kidnapper hadn’t left and the missing baby was still inside the building.She didn’t waste any time and searched every corner of the hospital. She checked rooms, hallways, and storage areas, leaving nothing untouched. The guards were also running around, doing their best to find the child, but no one seemed to have any luck.As Anna moved through the hospital, she noticed a nurse heading toward the terrace, holding a cigarette packet. The nurse tried to open the door but found it locked.“That’s strange,” the nurse muttered. “Why is the terrace door locked? It’s never locked.”Anna’s instincts kicked in. Something felt off. She walked up to the door and tried opening it herself, but it wouldn’t budge. The lock was solid and the door wouldn’t move. Without hesitation, she decided to break it open.She hurried downstairs to find something h
Contract Marriage: The Billionaire's First Love SOS
On Adeline’s side, Damien called her to come to his place immediately with her son. She was already en route when Ronan sent her an SOS with his location. Her brows furrowed at the odd message, but her heart pounded with unease. When she tried calling him, his phone was switched off.Dropping Rio off at Damien’s place, Adeline wasted no time. With her security team in tow, she headed to the location Ronan had sent. It was a private property on the outskirts of New York. The urgency of the situation made her call Delilah to arrange for a chopper to get her there faster.As they landed, her bodyguards secured the perimeter and began a thorough search of the property. Room by room, they swept through until Adeline finally found Ronan.He was lying on a bed. His body filled with discomfort as a naked woman attempted to climb on him. He was intoxicated but was still trying to push her away. Adeline’s blood boiled at the sight, but she forced herself to keep her calm.“Record this,” she or

Regina couldn’t make sense of what was happening. How could it be Fiona? She had been living here for months and hadn’t even recognized her own mother.“Regina!” Anastasia screamed as Regina stumbled against a table and fell to the ground.Both Anastasia and Fiona rushed to her side, helping her to the sofa.“Are you okay?” Anastasia asked, panic evident in her voice.Dazed, Regina nodded.“You hit the table so hard! And you are heavily pregnant. I’m not taking any chances,” Anastasia said, her fear mounting.“Anna, I’m fine,” Regina reassured her.But Anastasia didn’t listen. She quickly called Damien. “Please come to Regina and Abel’s place right away. And increase security around our house.”“Is everything alright?” Damien asked, his concern clear.“Damien, my mom is alive. She is here with me. I need you to come over and make sure she is safe while I look after Regina,” Anastasia said, her voice trembling. “Please, hurry.”When Damien arrived, he was stunned to see Fiona. Anastasi

Abel’s voice over the call was filled with concern. “Hey, Anastasia. Can you please check on Regina for me? I’m out of state for a meeting. She is not answering my calls, and my housekeeper is on leave.”There was a pause before he added, almost apologetically, “I know it is asking a lot, but I’m really getting stressed about her.”Anastasia’s tone was calm and reassuring. “It is not a big deal, Abel. I will go check on her.”“Thank you. I really appreciate it. I have to get back. I called you in the middle of a meeting,” he said hurriedly before ending the call.Anastasia smiled softly after hanging up. Lately, Abel had become incredibly attentive and caring toward Regina. With her due date approaching, it was natural for him to worry, especially when she didn’t pick up the phone. She admired how much effort he was putting into making sure Regina felt supported.“Maxey,” Anastasia called out, intending to get her youngest to join her.Instead of Ashton, Asher appeared in the doorway

Damien and Anastasia lay tangled under the sheet as the afterglow of their passionate love-making session still lingered. He pressed a gentle kiss to the smooth curve of her shoulder and a quiet hum of satisfaction left her lips in response.“Who knew that kids making love would be such an adventure,” Anastasia murmured, her voice filled with exhaustion.Damien chuckled. “I hope for a decade none of them discover sex.”Anastasia rolled her eyes. “Come on, let’s not forget about us. We started pretty early. Thank God our parents never knew.”Damien’s grin was mischievous as he pulled her in for a slow kiss. “I missed you all day,” he whispered. Anastasia smirked, “Oh yeah? I heard the laughter downstairs. I know you were having fun with the boys. Did you even have the chance to miss me?”It warmed her heart to no end that their lives had changed for the better and now it was filled with so much love. This was the family that she never knew she needed. But now that she had it, everythi

As Mrs. Luna served Asher’s breakfast, it was noticeably different from everyone else’s. Since Asher loved animals so much that he couldn’t bear the thought of eating meat, the family wholeheartedly respected his choice and ensured he was only served vegetarian meals.“Jellybean, your dad told me about your plans for the day. Are you excited?” Anastasia asked with a warm smile.“Yeah,” Asher replied, though his tone carried a mix of emotions. Glancing at his younger brother, he added, “Maxey isn’t learning to ride a bicycle?”“Nope!” Ashton grinned cheekily. “I asked Mommy if I could skip it, and she said yes.”Asher turned toward Damien with a frown. “That’s not fair!”Damien shrugged with a smirk. “Sorry, buddy. He pulled the Mommy card today, and you know how it is, she is the boss.”Asher rolled his eyes, clearly unimpressed.Anastasia leaned in, her tone encouraging. “I know by the end of the day, you will be riding like a pro. We are all rooting for you.”Breakfast was casual an

Many times, blood does not define relationships. Anastasia understood this better than anyone, and now Damien was living this truth as well.When Asher and Ashton were brought to their new home, they were awestruck. It took them an entire month to come to terms with the reality of their new life. Accepting Anastasia and Damien as their parents wasn’t easy, but all four of them were working hard to build a family together.It was the weekend. The boys had recently been enrolled in a new school and adjusting to the fast-paced curriculum of an international private school had been challenging for them. However, their parents were fully committed to helping them succeed.Despite it being a holiday, Damien woke the kids up early.Asher, the older of the two, groaned. “Do I really have to get up?”Though he was respectful to Anastasia and Damien, Asher had a frosty demeanour—his coldness rivalled that of Antarctica.“Yes, you do,” Damien said firmly. “We agreed that today you would learn ho
