No More Mrs. Nice Girl The Blame Game: Mila Faces Accusations
𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗮'𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝘃 As I forced myself to tear my gaze away from Arine’s intense gaze.I straightened my shoulders and walked into the building. His cryptic words still buzzed in my head, but I shoved them aside, focusing on the work awaiting me. But today, something felt off.The moment I stepped inside, the energy around me shifted. Colleagues who usually greeted me warmly were whispering amongst themselves, their eyes flickering in my direction before quickly looking away. The tension was palpable, and I could feel their stares burning into my back as I walked past.Unease prickled at me. What was going on? Why did it feel like I’d suddenly become the center of everyone’s attention? Why was everyone acting so strange?I walked briskly, my heels clicking against the tiled floor as I ignored the murmurs and headed straight for my office. If there was something to be said, they could say it to my face.When I opened my office door,I froze. The reason for the gossip became clear.Sittin

𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗮'𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩 I sat at my desk, meticulously reviewing the project details before attaching the finalized drafts to an email. Arine’s PA had requested these, and I wanted everything to be perfect. The sooner the contract-signing process was complete, the sooner I could focus on the actual concept. After hitting send, I leaned back, letting out a small sigh of relief. One task down. I shifted my attention to my inbox, scrolling through the new emails. Most were routine updates, but one caught my attention, making me pause. Before I could open it, the door to my office flew open with a loud bang, startling me. I looked up, and there he was—Alex.His broad frame filled the doorway, his face contorted with fury. His stormy eyes locked onto mine. “How dare you, Mila?” he shouted, his voice echoing through the room. “How dare you try to harm my child?” I blinked, utterly baffled. “What the hell are you talking about?” I asked, annoyed at his sudden intrusion. “And lower your voic

𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗮'𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩I curled up on the couch, aimlessly flicking through channels,hoping to find something—anything—that could distract me. A random show played on the screen, but I wasn’t really watching. The laughter track, the vibrant colors on the screen—none of it could lighten the heaviness in my chest.My mind refused to cooperate, dragging me back to memories I’d rather not revisit. Memories of him. Of Alex.I never thought we’d end up like this—broken and distant. There was a time when Alex loved me like I was his whole world. He had been my rock, my shield, my everything. It felt impossible to reconcile that version of him with the man who barged into my office today, spewing accusations without a shred of doubt.My thoughts wandered to a moment etched deeply in my heart. It had been at one of those high-profile social events he insisted I accompany him to, despite my protests. I never liked being in the spotlight, but Alex was always by my side, making sure I felt safe.That

𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗮'𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩When my eyes fluttered open, I was greeted by the blinding white of the hospital ceiling. A dull ache pulsed in my head as I struggled to recall how I ended up here. The last thing I remembered was the sharp pain and dizziness that had overwhelmed me back at home. Everything after that was a blur.Turning my head slightly, I spotted Sally slumped over the edge of my bed, her head resting on her folded arms. Her soft breathing was the only sound in the quiet room. A faint smile tugged at my lips. She looked so serene, almost like a child.I didn’t want to wake her. Knowing Sally, she’d worked herself to the bone worrying about me and ensuring I was safe.She must’ve been exhausted from her work and looking after me.I placed a gentle hand over my belly, holding my breath as I focused. Relief washed over me when I felt a faint flutter, a reassurance that my baby was okay. “Thank goodness,” I whispered, closing my eyes briefly in gratitude.The sound of the door opening

𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗮'𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩The soft hum of the air conditioner filled the room as I lay resting on the hospital bed. Sally sat nearby, busy typing away on her laptop, her focus unwavering. Arine had left a while ago, needing to attend a meeting. He had promised to be back in an hour or two despite my protests. “Don’t stress yourself out for me,” I’d said.He’d refused, his tone firm. “I’ll be back soon. Rest.” Then he was gone, leaving me with Sally, who, as usual, balanced everything effortlessly. It had been nearly half an hour when the calm was shattered by a commotion outside. A woman’s shrill voice pierced through the silence, shouting at someone—likely a staff member. The tone struck a strange chord within me, so familiar that it made my stomach churn. But I brushed the thought aside, chalking it up to exhaustion.Moments later, a deep, booming man's voice echoed through the hallway, scolding someone viciously.His words were cruel, demanding explanations for what he called their “inco

𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗮'𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩 Alex glared at Arine, his eyes blazing with fury as he yanked his hand free from Arine’s iron grip. “This is a personal matter,”he growled, his voice sharp and accusatory. “You have no right to interfere.” I instinctively drew back, my fingers brushing against the fabric over my stomach, seeking some sense of calm. But Arine didn’t budge an inch. His gaze was cold and unyielding, as if Alex’s rage didn’t even register. “Anything involving Mila is my concern,” Arine said coolly, his words measured but laced with a quiet authority that made even me pause. Alex’s eyes narrowed, darting from me to Arine and back again. “Concern?” he sneered, his voice tinged with suspicion. “And who exactly are you?” he demanded, his tone dripping with disdain. “What gives you the right to involve yourself in this?” I could feel the tension spike in the air, thick and suffocating. I glanced at Arine, unsure of what he would say, but there was no hesitation in him. “Who am I?”

He seemed lost in his thoughts, his jaw tightening with every passing second, his posture stiff. It wasn’t like him to look so unsettled, and it made me uneasy.Clearing my throat, I tried to bring him back to the present hoping to snap him out of whatever storm was brewing in his mind.His head snapped toward me, his dark eyes meeting mine. But this time, they weren’t calm or reassuring—they were burning with frustration. It wasn’t anger meant to hurt, but the kind born out of worry and unspoken fears. His usual calm demeanor had shifted into something sharper, angrier.Before I could say anything, he gently took my hand despite the storm brewing in his expression. Without a word, he turned and began walking, leading me back to the hospital room where I was supposed to be resting.The moment we stepped inside, Arine shut the door

Mila's POVArine’s grip on my hand was firm, his fingers wrapped around mine with a determination that left no room for argument.I had tried—more than once—to pull free, insisting that I didn’t need his help, but his quiet, stubborn resolve always won. After a few futile attempts, I sighed in resignation.Eventually, I stopped resisting.We walked in silence, but my thoughts were anything but quiet. Tomorrow loomed over me like a storm cloud. Every day brought a new challenge, another hurdle I had to overcome for my baby. Would it ever get easier? Or was this constant fight my new reality?I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t see it coming until I bumped into something solid. Startled, I stumbled slightly,My head jerked up, and I found myself staring at Arine’s chest.I blinked, startled, and slowly raised my eyes to meet his. His expression caught me off guard. He was looking at me with an intensity I couldn’t quite name—something sharp and layered, like he was holding back a ti
No More Mrs. Nice Girl The Puzzle of Recognition
Mila's POVA voice called my name, soft at first, almost blending with my dreams. I tried to ignore it, turning over to sink back into the comforting void of sleep. But the voice came again, clearer this time, and unmistakably familiar. Slowly, I opened my eyes, blinking against the soft light.Arine stood before me, his gaze steady and focused .Behind him stood a man whose presence made me pause, unfamiliar at first glance. Yet, as I looked at him more closely , there was a strange pull in the back of my mind as if I had seen him before but I couldn’t place where or when.“Mila,” Arine said gently, breaking through my thoughts. “You should eat something. The nurse said it’s important for your recovery. Maybe take a short walk afterward to stretch your legs.”I blinked at him and nodded, still distracted, as the man stepped forward. He carried a small foldable table and carefully placed it over my lap. His movements were deliberate, almost too familiar, as if he’d done this for me bef

𝗔𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲'𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘃I pushed the door open cautiously, careful not to make a sound. The room was bathed in the dim light of the bedside lamp, its glow softening the edges of everything it touched. My gaze instantly fell on Mila, lying peacefully on the bed, her face relaxed, lost in sleep.For a moment, I just stood there, frozen, almost afraid to take another step. She looked so serene, so vulnerable. The woman who had unwittingly turned my world upside down, who didn’t even know who she truly was—or who I was—was right there, within reach.My eyes swept across the room, searching for any sign of Sally. When I was certain she wasn’t here, a strange relief settled over me. It wasn’t that I disliked her presence, but right now, I wanted this moment to myself, this quiet, stolen moment with Mila.I moved closer, my steps careful and measured, until I was standing by her bedside. Her face was partially hidden by a strands of hair, and without thinking, I reached out and gently tucked it

𝗔𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 '𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩Stepping out of the room, my hand still tingled where it had touched Mila to lead her in. Shaking off the warmth, now hanging in my chest, I closed the door, took a couple of steps down the hallway, and then looked around to make sure no one was around.Satisfied that I was alone, I pulled out my phone and swiped to answer the call. Placing it against my ear, I straightened my posture, letting my usual calm, authoritative tone seep into my voice.“You better have a good reason for calling me at this hour,” I said, my tone sharp and commanding.On the other end, a man’s voice stammered slightly, clearly aware he had interrupted me at a delicate time. “I apologize for disturbing you, sir,the test results are out.I thought you’d want to know immediately.”I froze, my grip on the phone tightening involuntarily. My heart thudded against my ribs as I braced myself for what was coming. “Go on,” I said, my voice deceptively calm.“The test is positive,” he revealed. “Al
