No. Bella had to be lying. There was no way she was pregnant with Jesse’s child.

I clenched my fists in anger, but then I recalled the way she kissed me. The hesitation in her touch, the fire in her eyes—she still wanted me. I could feel it.

I smirked. I just need another opportunity to be with her again.

As I stepped out, I could hear hushed whispers everywhere. A small crowd had gathered, murmuring amongst themselves. My gaze drifted to a small pool of blood on the ground.

"What a poor girl."

"I wonder if she’s alright."

"Yes, she had blonde hair…"

Blonde hair.

I froze.

That sounded like Bella.

I started panicking then I grabbed one of the onlookers by the collar. “What happened here?”

The man scowled and tried to shove me off. “Let go of me—”

I tightened my grip, and before he could say another word, my bodyguards stepped forward, towering over him. His expression changed instantly. He paled, trembling as he stammered, “I-It’s just a girl… A girl with blonde hair… She was hit by a

    When Luke brought in the food, Jesse took a spoonful and moved it toward my lips. I instinctively pulled back, shaking my head slightly. “I can eat by myself,” I protested. Jesse’s expression remained calm but firm. “Your arm,” he reminded me. “You can’t eat by yourself in this condition.” I hesitated for a moment, glancing at my injured arm. Before I could respond, Daniel, who had been watching with an unimpressed expression, muttered under his breath, "She can still eat with the other arm, you know." He let out an exaggerated sigh before coughing and saying, "Alright, I suddenly have a lot of work to do. I’ll be back later to run the tests." He had no plans of sitting through the unbearable display of affection. Being reminded of how single and lonely he was? No, thank you. Without another word, he quickly left the room. Jesse, completely ignoring his actions, continued to feed me. I eventually gave in, taking each spoonful without protest. After I finished, he took a few

    Slowly, deliberately, Athena rose from her chair and stepped around the table. She didn't hesitate as she sat on his lap, pressing her body against his. "I don't mind paying you in any way you’d like," she whispered, rolling her hips against him. She was wearing a skirt with no panties, she opened her buttons revealing her pointed breasts, then she stood up a bit and put his dick into her pussy. She started moving up and down. She started slowly then increased her speed. He said nothing, but his body betrayed him—his muscles tensing beneath her touch. She smirked, pleased, and continued. He let her do all the work, his hands remaining at his sides, never touching her more than necessary. The way he just sat there, indifferent yet still reacting—it infuriated her, but it also thrilled her. Then he finally released, his fluids filling her up inside He raised hands and pinched her nipples till they turned red. He then pushed her away. Athena stumbled back, her breath st

    In Julius’s Company….. Julius wore a suit, he was looking very sophisticated. He drummed his fingers against the desk, his patience wearing thin. "Where the hell is she?" As if on cue, the doors of the office opened. Two of his men entered, dragging a woman between them. Amanda, a nurse from the dexy rulan hospital, looked pale and shaken. "P-please, I didn’t do anything wrong, I swear—" Julius raised up a finger, silencing her. "Relax. You’re not in trouble—yet." His eyes turned to his men. "You’re certain, she works directly for the elite private ward?" One of them nodded. "Yes sir, it has been confirmed." Julius smiled, but there was no warmth in it. He gestured for them to release her. Amanda stumbled slightly but managed to steady herself. "You’re going to do a little favor for me," Julius said, his tone smooth, almost casual. "You’re going to get a pregnancy test done for Bella. Secretly. I don’t care how you do it—lie, switch samples, make something up—but I want

    Jesse had stepped out for some business, leaving me alone in the hospital room. I glanced around, taking in the luxurious surroundings. The soft glow of warm lighting, the fresh scent of flowers, the high-end furniture—this place truly lived up to its reputation as the best hospital in the country. Still, I was bored. Getting injured had never been part of my plan. I groaned in frustration. Just as I was beginning to lose myself in my thoughts, the door opened, and Jesse walked back in. I blinked. He looked… pleased. His expression held a faint trace of amusement, the kind that came from winning a fist fight or something like that. “Did something good happen?” I asked, curious. He leaned in slightly, his sharp eyes locking onto mine. “Nothing much,” he said smoothly. “Just got rid of a disturbing fly.” His proximity sent my heart into a wild rhythm. I was a ruthless businesswoman, a genius coder—yet somehow, when faced with Jesse, I turned into a shy, awkward girl. I

    I gripped the papers in my hands, my vision blurring with rage as I read the words over and over again. Pregnancy test Bella pregnant – Positive She… she was really pregnant. For that bastard. A violent surge of anger rushed through me, and before I knew it, I was throwing everything within reach. The glass of whiskey on my desk shattered against the wall. Papers scattered. My chair slammed against the floor as I kicked it over. "F*ck!" I roared, my chest rising and falling rapidly. How? How could she do this? I looked for her everywhere when she disappeared. And yet, she was now carrying Jesse’s child. My breath came in sharp, uneven gasps. The office suddenly felt suffocating, the walls closing in. I yanked off my tie, loosening the collar of my shirt, but it did nothing to cool the fury burning inside me. She was pregnant… with his child. I didn't care what I had to do. If getting rid of that child was the only way to have her, then so be it. After all, she had

    I gave a few instructions to my men before shutting the office door and locking it behind us. I turned to her, a smirk playing on my lips. “Didn’t you like the stares you got, my little slut?” My voice was low and teasing. Athena stepped closer, her hands immediately going to the buttons of my shirt, slowly undoing them. “I only like the attention I get from you, Julius,” she purred, looking up at me through her lashes. I grabbed her wrist, stopping her movements, my grip firm but not painful. “Are you sure?” I tilted my head, my eyes studying her face. “Because you seemed to enjoy seeing those foreigners stare at your breasts.” I scoffed, tightening my hold just a little. “They were probably fantasizing about having you in bed the entire meeting.” It doesn’t matter what was going on in their heads, does it now?” She continued unbuttoning my shirt, her fingers brushing against my skin. “What matters most is that I fully belong to you.” She always knew exactly what to say.

    Julius leaned forward, his voice low and venomous. “No, Bella. It’s all true. Jesse’s sister, Emma.” I shook my head in disbelief, unable to process what he was saying. “This doesn’t make sense. Jesse would never—”Julius cut me off with a harsh laugh. “You still don’t get it, do you? I’ve got the evidence. And so do you now.”He brought out another folder and gave it to me. Inside were more documents—police reports, coroner’s photos, and a handwritten confession. I flipped through them in a daze. Each piece was more damning than the last. My mind felt foggy, the words swimming in front of my eyes. The confession was chilling.I slammed the papers back onto the table, my breath coming in ragged gasps. “No. This isn’t true. You’re just trying to manipulate me, Julius. Why? What do you want from me?”“You think this is manipulation? You think I’m the bad guy here? I’m trying to protect you, Bella. You’re too blind to see what’s right in front of you. Jesse isn’t who he says he is. He’s

    “I outplayed you,” I corrected. “If your system was so good, it wouldn’t have crashed from a few keystrokes.”His fists clenched.I couldn’t help the satisfaction bubbling inside me. I’d done it. I’d won. And now, it was time to let him know just how thoroughly he’d been outclassed. But I wasn’t prepared for what he did next.He grabbed me by the arm, pulling me toward him with a grip so tight it almost hurt. I yelped, trying to pull away, but his hand was like iron.“Let go of me, Julius!” I screamed, trying to wrench myself free from his grip.But he didn’t let go. His face was twisted with a mixture of anger and desperation as he leaned in close. “You have no idea what you’ve done, Bella. I’ve worked for years on that technology—years! And you, you come in and steal everything right out from under me!”I could feel my pulse quickening, adrenaline flooding my veins. “I deserve it, Julius. You can’t even begin to understand what I’ve put into this. Stratosphere One isn’t just technol

    The investors leaned forward slightly, intrigued. I smiled inwardly, knowing they were now hooked.I zoomed in on the global map. “Here, we can see live data streams from multiple international sources, processing billions of transactions per second. This is real-time data aggregation from diverse sectors—finance, health, retail, government. It doesn’t just sit in one database. It integrates seamlessly into various networks worldwide.”I glanced at their faces—curiosity was beginning to replace skepticism.The woman in the navy-blue suit, who had been the most critical so far, raised an eyebrow. “Live data? So this system adapts dynamically?”“Exactly,” I said, clicking through to another screen. “But it’s not just about gathering data. It’s about interpreting it. This is an AI-powered engine that learns from every interaction. The more it works, the smarter it gets. Predictive algorithms adjust in real-time to forecast market trends, consumer behavior, even weather patterns.”I could

    Reluctantly, they nodded.Ten minutes passed. Then twenty.Nothing.Dallas returned, and the look on his face said it all.“Sir,” he whispered in my ear, “someone’s tampered with the software. They disabled key files. It wasn’t an internal glitch.”My jaw clenched. “Who?”“We’re still checking logs, but… it looks intentional.”I looked back at the table. The representatives were gathering their briefcases and standing up.“Gentlemen, please,” I said, desperate now. “Give me until tomorrow. I promise I’ll have this fixed.”One of them raised a brow. “You expect us to delay international schedules because your system is unprepared?”“Unprepared? No,” I shook my head. “Sabotaged.”Their expressions shifted slightly—but not with sympathy. Disappointment. Annoyance.“Mr. Julius,” the lead representative said, “this was your opportunity to show us your technology. And unfortunately… this has been a complete waste of our time.”They filed out one after the other, their silence louder than an

    The moment I saw the news explode across every gossip site, I knew the bomb had landed perfectly. Joan’s name was trending for all the wrong reasons—affairs, scandalous photos, and sordid voice notes with a certain married socialite. It was delicious.But something was missing.I wanted her to know. I wanted her to hear it from me. Let her know I’m responsible for her downfall.So I grabbed my phone, took a deep breath, and dialed her number. She picked up almost instantly.Joan: (panicked) “Hello?! Who is this?!”Me: (sweetly) “Why so anxious, Joan? Afraid someone might’ve dug up all the skeletons in your closet?”There was a pause. Then, her voice turned sharp.Joan: “Bella? You’re the one that released those articles about me!”I let out a low chuckle. “Oh, Joan. You should really work on your password security. ‘QueenJoan123’? Really?”Joan: “You hacked me?! You—”Me: “Careful how you speak to me. I haven’t even released everything yet.”Her breath hitched. “You lying little—”Me:

    I got tired of the game at some point and flopped onto the couch with a sigh, the bright lights of the screen flashing lazily against my face.“Ugh, Daniel, I gotta go,” I mumbled.He chuckled over the phone. “Alright, Bella. But admit it—we make a good team.”I smiled faintly. “Yeah, we do. Thanks for playing with me.”He hung up, clearly pleased with how far we’d climbed in the rankings. But as the silence of the penthouse closed in, I realized how hollow it felt without Jesse.Minutes passed. Maybe an hour. I stared out the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the city blur beneath a veil of twilight. Then—Click.The door opened, and Jesse stepped in, his silhouette cutting against the fading sun.“Baby,” he said, his voice low and warm, “Did I take too long?”I didn’t answer. I ran to him and wrapped my arms around his neck, burying my face into the crook of his neck. I had missed him more than I realized in those few hours.“Yes, you did,” I whispered. “What’s happening, Jesse? Wh

    Our lips met—fierce, deep, and trembling with everything we couldn’t say in words. Jesse pulled me closer, like he wanted to merge our souls together. His hands cradled my face as he kissed me again and again, like he needed to be sure I was really his now. I wasn’t even sure when I ended up in his lap, my arms wrapped tightly around his neck, but I didn’t care.The world outside faded. There was only us.He rested his forehead against mine, our breaths mingling, eyes locked.“You have no idea how long I’ve waited to hear you say yes,” he whispered, brushing a kiss across my cheek, then my jaw. “I don’t think I’ve ever wanted anything this much in my life.”I smiled, my voice still shaky. “You already have me, Jesse. You have me now, baby.”He kissed me softly again, this time slower, deeper—full of promises and quiet devotion. Then he stood up with me still in his arms and spun me around, laughing as I clung to him.“Careful!” I gasped through a giggle.“I can’t help it,” he grinned.

    The Next MorningSunlight never quite touched this place, but the ambient glow of the starlit sky filtered in gently through the expansive windows. It was a strange kind of beauty—otherworldly, like we’d fallen into a dream that didn’t want to end.I stretched under the silky sheets, feeling the warmth of Jesse beside me before I even opened my eyes.“Good morning, Mrs. Roberts,” his voice was a smooth rumble against my neck, lips brushing my skin.“Mmm,” I mumbled, still drowsy. “Stop calling me that. I’m not officially your wife.”“You will be,” he whispered confidently. “Soon.”I turned to face him, eyes still half-closed, “You’re too smug in the mornings.”“And you’re too cute when you’re sleepy,” he teased, leaning down to kiss my nose.Then he got out of bed.“Get dressed,” he said, throwing a robe gently at me. “Something simple. You don’t need to look too fancy… you’re about to get wet.”My brows rose instantly. “Jesse.”He grinned, wicked and playful. “Relax, it’s not what yo

    The moonlight bathed everything in a soft silver hue. I had just slipped on one of the silky robes provided by the resort when I decided to go check out the rest of the property—curious about the place Jesse had brought me to. He was still lounging on the bed, half-covered by the sheets, looking too tempting for his own good.“I’ll be right back,” I told him.“Hurry, or I’ll come dragging you back myself,” he teased with a lazy smirk.I grinned and stepped out.Moments later, while Jesse leaned back, stretching his arms behind his head, a soft knock came at the door.“Come in,” he said absentmindedly.The door creaked open, and a young, strikingly beautiful staff member stepped inside, her hips swaying with a tray of freshly folded towels. Her name tag read Elsa.“Sir,” she said, her voice low and sultry. “I’ve brought extra towels for your evening comfort.”“Just leave them by the door,” Jesse replied without looking at her.But Elsa didn’t move toward the door. Instead, she set the
