All Chapters of UNWED AND EXPECTING : Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

** The Broken Promise**The story opens in an elegantly decorated chapel, adorned with white roses and soft candlelight, casting a warm glow over the polished wooden pews. Guests sit in anticipation, murmuring in excitement as a soft melody plays from the string quartet. Outside, the sky is a bright blue, a stark contrast to the storm brewing within the chapel’s grand walls. The air is filled with the sweet scent of flowers and the promise of new beginnings, but the atmosphere is thick with tension.Sophia Harrington stood in the bridal suite, her fingers trembling as they brushed the delicate lace of her wedding dress. The mirror reflected a vision of beauty: her dark hair perfectly styled, her makeup flawlessly applied, her eyes sparkling with unshed tears of joy. This was supposed to be the happiest day of her life—a moment she had dreamed of since she was a little girl. But something felt off. She could feel it in her bones.Her best friend and maid of honor, **Ava**, adjusted Sop

**The Price of Secrets**Sophia walked briskly through the garden that sprawled behind the reception hall, the cool night air stinging her cheeks. The garden lights cast a soft glow on the manicured hedges and blooming roses, but the beauty of the place only deepened her sense of isolation. Her thoughts whirled chaotically, the weight of Ethan’s words pressing down on her. Who could be watching her, and why? She felt a cold shiver run down her spine as she tried to piece together the fragments of Jason’s betrayal, Ava’s involvement, and Ethan’s cryptic warnings.Ethan’s footsteps crunched on the gravel path behind her, his presence a constant reminder of the dangers she faced. He was close now, close enough that she could feel his breath, but Sophia kept her eyes forward, unwilling to acknowledge him. “Still think you’re safe out here?” Ethan asked, his voice low, almost mocking. “If I were you, I’d be looking over my shoulder. People have a habit of disappearing when they dig too de

**The Bitter Truth**The car's engine hummed, filling the tense silence as it hurtled down the dark, winding road. Sophia's heart raced, her mind a tangled mess of fear, anger, and confusion. The night outside the windows was pitch black, the world beyond reduced to fleeting shadows and blurred lights. Beside her, Ethan sat rigid, his gaze locked forward, as if bracing for an impact that had yet to come.Sophia’s hands trembled in her lap. Ethan’s words echoed in her mind, a chilling refrain that refused to fade. *“He made a choice. He chose his own skin over you.”* She felt the sting of betrayal deep in her chest. Every memory of Jason—his promises, his kisses, the way he’d held her hand and swore they’d face everything together—now felt like a cruel joke.“Tell me everything,” Sophia demanded, her voice steady despite the storm raging inside her. “No more half-truths, no more lies. Why did Jason do this?”Ethan glanced at her, his expression grim. “Jason’s always been desperate to p

**Torn Between Shadows**The night deepens around the cabin, the sky a heavy blanket of darkness. The trees sway ominously in the wind, casting long shadows that stretch toward the windows. Inside, the warmth from the fireplace contrasts with the icy tension that Jason’s sudden arrival has brought. The cabin, once a refuge, now feels small and suffocating. The three figures stand still, the silence thick with the weight of unsaid words.Ethan’s eyes narrow at Jason, fists clenching at his sides.The cold night presses in on the cabin as a storm brews in the distance. Thunder rumbles softly, a low, ominous sound that mirrors the tension inside. The once-cozy cabin now feels claustrophobic, the fire in the hearth barely offering warmth to the strained trio standing in its glow. The isolation that once felt like a sanctuary now feels like a trap. Outside, the wind picks up, rattling the windows, adding to the eerie atmosphere of unease.Jason’s eyes flicker between Sophia and Ethan, his d
