Jake's POV Lea was pregnant with Phill's child? That's what they told me but I still couldn't wrap my head aprund that fact. I should have seen it coming. The glances, the whispers, the sudden need for privacy,the distance,the running away...How could I have missed it? Lea, my Lea, pregnant with Phill's child ? I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. The room spun, and all I could see was red. "You gotta be kidding me!" I screamed, my voice raw and unrecognizable. The walls seemed to close in, mocking me with their stillness. My fists clenched, and I threw the first thing within reach.A framed picture of us at the beach last summer. It shattered against the wall, the glass splintering into a million pieces, much like my heart. "How could she do this to me?" I roared, my voice echoing in the silence of my room. "With Phill of all people! That slimy, backstabbing son of a ..." I couldn’t finish the sentence. My throat was tight, choking on the words. I reached for the whiskey bot

Lea's POV The night was endless. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind racing. I hadn’t been able to sleep since Jake found out. He thinks the baby is Phill’s. The look on his face was of pure agony. It was like I’d ripped his heart out. God, I wanted to tell him the truth, but I was too scared. The baby kicked, a restless flurry that mirrored my own anxiety. “Shh, little one,” I whispered, rubbing my belly. “It’s going to be okay.” But it didn’t feel okay. Nothing did. I felt a heavy weight in my chest, a nagging worry I couldn’t shake.I glanced at my phone, the screen glaringly bright in the dark room. I wanted to call Jake, to explain everything, but what would I say? “Hey, Jake, I know you’re angry, but the baby’s yours, not Phill’s.” Yeah, right. He’d never believe me now. A sigh escaped my lips. Why had I let things get so out of hand? Why hadn’t I told Jake the truth from the beginning? Phill was just a friend, a shoulder to cry on,he was my rock but our relationship

Author's POVPercy sat in the darkness of his room, his gaze fixed on the world outside his window. The moon cast a faint glow over the garden in front as if it was a silent witness to his solitude. He felt like a ghost, invisible to his own family. But he was used to it. Especially for his parents. He hated every moment he spent at home especially without Phill or Mercy. Both of them were out, working while he was left home alone. He would have gone back to his hilly retreat but Mercy wanted him to hang around a little longer. She said she needed his help with some of her projects. The door creaked open, and a maid slipped in, placing a glass of juice on the table. She moved with the stealth of a cat, careful not to disturb the shadows. As she left, Percy noticed she hadn’t closed the door properly.Voices drifted in from the corridor. His mother’s voice,Elizabeth's voice, hushed but intense, cut through the stillness. She was on the phone again, her heels clicking sharply against

Author's POV A couple of days passed and Lea was recovering steadily under Phill's watchful care. Phill sat quietly beside Lea's hospital bed, his expression was one of gentle concern as he watched her lost in her thoughts. He reached out, placing a reassuring hand on hers. "You need to rest, Lea. Stress isn't good for you or the baby." Lea finally glanced at him, her eyes filled with a mix of worry and stubborn resolve. "I can't help it, Phill. I keep thinking about Jake.Didn't he call after he left? " Phill shook his head,Lea sighed. "I get it that you are still not over him. But you gotta focus on you now. "Lea sighed deeply again, her voice tinged with frustration. "It's just...I will never be able to explain how I feel about him. Never mind! How is aunt? I should be beside her. Looking after her but here I am, lying on this bed. Absolutely useless." She turned around, her back towards Phill. " She is still the same. Has been like that for awhile. I am sure you will ha

Lea's POV Jake's lips moved from mine to my neck, sending shivers down my spine. His hand was still on my belly, feeling the baby move, and I could see the awe in his eyes. I took a deep breath, ready to tell him the truth. "Jake, there's something you need to know," I began, my voice trembling with anticipation. But just as I was about to speak, the door burst open. "Jake!" Rosa's shrill voice cut through the room like a knife. I stiffened, my heart racing. Rosa stood in the doorway, her eyes blazing with anger. Jake's expression darkened, his grip on me tightening protectively."What the hell are you doing here, Rosa?" he snapped, his voice low and dangerous. "I could ask you the same thing," she retorted, her gaze shifting to me. "Jake, being with her is going to ruin your career. You know that." I felt a pang of discomfort, shrinking back against the pillows. "Jake, maybe she has a point," I started, but he cut me off. "Shut up, Rosa," he spat, glaring at her. "You don't
