91 – THE WEIGHT OF THE LIE
Last Updated:
2025-03-04 11:00:37POV: LAUREN
“He thinks he's the father.” I murmured, lost in my own thoughts, covering my mouth with a trembling hand.
Everything Henry had said—his actions, his care, his words—kept echoing in my mind. “Give us a chance to be something more than just a contract.”
Silent tears slipped down my face as I leaned against the pillow, my hand instinctively caressing my belly. The weight of the lie I carried was becoming unbearable.
“Would you still feel the same if you knew my baby isn’t yours?” My voice was low and hesitant in the empty room. “Would you still want to try if you knew the truth?”
A sob escaped me, and I bit the inside of my cheek to hold it back. Wrapping my arms around my stomach, an overwhelming need to protect my child from the world—and from the mess I had dragged us into—washed over me.

POV: LAUREN“You can't let him believe in something that's not real.”I swallowed hard, averting my gaze. I knew I needed to tell the truth. But the fear of Henry's reaction—and what it would mean for me and my baby—paralyzed me.What if, after finding out, he just walked away and left us behind?“I know, okay?” My response came out harsher than I intended as I stared at the ceiling. “I didn’t want him to find out this way, and I definitely didn’t want him jumping to conclusions. But… Carter took on the role so easily, Kate. There was happiness in his voice and in his posture. You should have seen him during the ultrasound—he almost cried, emotional, accepting my baby as if it were his.”Kate held my hands, her expression softening.“I understand that you don’t want to hurt him or take tha

POV: HENRYFor some reason, Lauren seemed nervous about that question. Her body went rigid, her eyes shifted to the side, and her breathing faltered. Something was bothering her, but she wouldn’t say it.“Theodor, Lauren is still tired.” My voice came out firm, catching his attention. “She went through a big scare and needs to rest. This is all very new for all of us.”Theo lowered his shoulders slightly, but the sweetness in his expression didn’t fade.“Fairy,” he called her softly, his little fingers fidgeting nervously. “You don’t want your baby to be my sibling? Is that why you won’t answer?”Lauren’s eyes widened as if the question had hit her straight in the chest. Her breathing became uneven, and tears welled up in her eyes.“Theo, no!” Her voice came out distressed. “You

POV: HENRYI gasped at the feeling of his firm touch, his warm hand wrapping around the nape of my neck, holding me still under his penetrating gaze that seemed to see right through me. My heart pounded, and my body reacted to his proximity in a way I didn’t want to admit.Why was Henry acting like this? What did he really want from me?“Henry, why do you insist on this so much?” My voice came out low, almost hesitant. I tried to pull away, but he only tightened his grip slightly, keeping me exactly where he wanted.A slow smile curled at the corner of his lips, full of mystery and something else that made my breath hitch.“You ask too many questions, Becker.” His voice was a husky murmur, laced with something dangerous. “And yet, you keep avoiding the ones I ask.”My hands instinctively slid to his shoulders, feeling the heat of his skin beneath the fabric of his shirt. My chest rose and fell rapidly, my breathing completely erratic.“Carter…” I swallowed hard, feeling the tension be

POV: LAUREN“I don’t like having my own words used against me,” he murmured, his tone laced with irony. “But I have to admit, that was an excellent argument.”I rolled my eyes, letting out a softchuckle.“Don’t be so full of yourself.”He just smiled, satisfied, while I leaned back against the pillow, staring at the ceiling. But my mind was elsewhere.The truth weighed heavily on my shoulders.I needed to tell him before things spiraled even further out of control.I swallowed hard, feeling anxiety creep in. Taking a deep breath, I shifted on the bed, trying to find the right words.“Henry, I need to tell you something.” My voice came out hesitant, and he turned to me patiently, waiting for me to continue.My hands were cold, my heart pounding against my chest. It was now or never.“My pregnancy… I mean, my baby isn’t…”Before I could finish, an unfamiliar voice cut through the moment, dripping with irony and mockery.“Well, well, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I saw

POV: JAMESI touched my sore chin, the metallic taste of blood spreading through my mouth. Something felt loose. I spat into my hand and saw a piece of my broken tooth.My blood boiled.“You stupid bastard!” I shouted, my voice echoing through the hospital corridors. “That damn bastard is going to pay for what he did!”I took a deep breath, trying to control my anger, but the fury pulsed through my veins. Henry Carter would regret laying hands on me.Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of a nurse hurrying down the hallway toward the patient rooms.Perfect.With two quick strides, I grabbed her arm and yanked her roughly against the wall. My body leaned in, my hands flattening against the wall beside her head, trapping her.“Princess, you’re just the one I was looking for.” I smirked

POV: JAMESI walked through Mia’s mansion gates without rushing, savoring the chaos already unfolding inside. The sharp, shrill sound of her hysterical voice echoed through the house as I approached her atelier.As soon as I crossed the door, I had to step aside quickly when a mannequin was hurled in my direction, crashing violently against the wall.“I ALREADY TOLD YOU THIS FABRIC IRRITATES MY SKIN, YOU USELESS IDIOT!” Mia screamed, her face twisted in rage as she berated a terrified assistant.The poor guy clutched a clipboard, trembling, while Mia pointed at a dress on a pedestal as if it were the greatest tragedy of the century.“Do something useful and bring me a carmine piece from Mondely’s collection!” she ordered.“But, Miss, he’s no longer taking orders…” the assistant tried to argue but immediately sile

Her eyes narrowed in an instant, scanning my face as if trying to decipher something.“What the hell do you mean by that, James?” Her voice was sharp.She yanked the glass from my hand before I could finish my drink and leaned in closer.“What do you know that I don’t?”

The doctor emphasized the need for complete rest, a balanced diet, and—much to her embarrassment—no intimate activity.When he mentioned that last part, Lauren choked on her own saliva, coughing as her face turned a deep shade of red.I held back a laugh, simply watching her discomfort.On the way home, she remained silent, avoiding my gaze whenever I tried to start a conversation. But once we arrived, her posture shifted.She stopped at the bottom of the stairs, looking up as if assessing the distance to her room.“What do you think you're doing?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.“I'm climbing the stairs.” She frowned, throwing me a defiant look.“The doctor said no exertion, remember?” I crossed my arms, waiti

So let me spoil this little angel my way.”Theo looked up at me, his eyes shining with happiness, the tip of his nose smudged with whipped cream.“Grandma is amazing, Fairy!” the little one chimed in.I sighed, already defeated.“See?” My mom smiled triumphantly, winking at me. “I&
THE CEO'S PREGNANT NANNY 105 – I WILL END YOU, LAUREN BECKER
POV: ETHANThat damn billionaire looked at me with an air of superiority, certain that he had already won this battle. His threatening tone left no doubt—he knew about the embezzlement, and those incompetent fools in my finance department had miserably failed to cover up the evidence. I’d have to deal with this mess later.I drummed my fingers against the desk, calculating my options. So this was what it was about? Henry Carter was here to reclaim what his dear wife had lost. Lauren always had a knack for attracting trouble. Even after the divorce, she was still a nuisance. If I had gotten rid of her at the right time—an accident carefully planned—no one would have suspected a thing.The thought amused me for a moment, but I had to regain control. Carter was still in front of me, impatient, waiting for my answer.“So, what will it be?” he asked, his jaw clenched, his eyes locked

POV: HENRYEthan leaned slightly over the desk, his eyes filled with provocation, as if savoring each word before letting them out.“Mr. Carter…” He spoke slowly, dragging out his tone, feeding off the tension. “Man to man… I know you married my ex-wife.”I kept my expression impassive, though hearing Lauren’s name from his mouth was enough to irritate me. He noticed—and continued.“I also heard she’s expecting your heir,” Ethan added.My jaw tightened, and my fingers flexed slightly against the fabric of my suit, but I remained still, staring at him.He paused dramatically, his eyes analyzing every minute reaction, as if searching for a weakness to exploit.“But there’s no need to come here and mark your territory,” he said, a malicious glint in his eyes. “I ha

POV: HENRY“Where to, sir?” the driver looked at me through the rearview mirror.“PharmaCare Industries.” I ran a hand over my neatly trimmed beard, casting one last glance at the mansion. The life I was building there needed to be protected.I grabbed my phone and sent a message to Lucian. I needed him to meet me at Lauren’s ex-husband’s company with the financial documents detailing the embezzlement. Furthermore, I never understood my brother’s interest in doing business with PharmaCare. There were more solid companies and hospitals we had strategic partnerships with, expanding branches and investing in medical technologies far more profitable than Ethan’s ventures.The car glided smoothly into the parking lot. Checking my watch as I stepped out, I scanned the surroundings. No sign of Lucian.“Always late…” I muttered, massag

POV: LAUREN“Daughter, is that how you greet your mother?” My mom frowned, placing her hands firmly on her hips as she stared at me with disapproval. “This handsome man called me, saying my little girl needed me. You're pregnant, you need rest, and maybe a little motherly love would help you feel better.”My eyes widened, and I immediately turned to Henry, glaring at him as if I could set him on fire with my stare.“You called my mother?” I asked through clenched teeth, feeling my body heat with indignation. “And you told her about the pregnancy?!”He remained calm, as imposing as ever.“Actually, your mother saw the news about your dramatic entrance to the hospital in the arms of CEO Henry Carter,” Kate interjected, holding my mom's purse and trying to ease the tension. “So, let’s just say she kind of threatened to storm

POV: LAURENHenry seemed determined to keep his role as my personal watchdog, spending more time in the bedroom than he probably should. He brought in a small table and set up his laptop, working while keeping a close eye on me.I watched his face as he focused, his expression serious, his jaw tight. His blue eyes glowed under the light of the screen, and the slight twitch of his mouth told me something was bothering him.My attention drifted to his perfectly shaped lips—the same ones that knew exactly how to steal my breath and leave me speechless. His clean-shaven jaw, his impeccable posture… Henry Carter was the kind of CEO straight out of a magazine cover, the kind that made any woman sigh and wish she were in his bed.And, well… I was in his bed.“I can feel your eyes on me, Becker,” he murmured without looking away from the screen, though a charming smile

It looks like he didn’t just surpass you in wealth, but in other ways too.”My jaw clenched, and fury ignited inside me like an uncontrollable blaze.“Where the hell did you hear this nonsense?!” I shouted, anger consuming me.“Straight from the source, my friend,” James replied, his sarcastic tone only fueling my irritation. “I thought I’d give you a heads-up before the high society charity event. After all, the lovebirds will probably be there, flaunting their happiness and announcing the big news. The newest C
