Chapter 151

The morning sunlight bathed the expansive Johnson estate in a warm glow, but inside Ethan’s office, the atmosphere was anything but serene. Ethan sat at his desk, his wheelchair positioned at an angle that gave him a clear view of the sprawling garden beyond the windows. Documents, spreadsheets, and reports were scattered before him, but his attention was miles away.Emma had become a presence he couldn’t ignore. Her voice, her laughter, even her sarcasm had carved a permanent place in his life. But this morning, she seemed different—quieter, distracted. He noticed it the moment she entered the room with a tray of breakfast."Good morning," she greeted, placing the tray on his desk.Ethan glanced at her, noting the faint circles under her eyes. "You didn’t sleep well," he observed.Emma shrugged, forcing a smile. "You’re not my only patient, you know. I had some late-night calls.""You could’ve woken me up," Ethan replied, his tone teasing but laced with genuine concern.Emma snorted.

Chapter 152: A Ray of Hope

Ethan sat by the large window in his study, staring out at the garden as the winter sun cast long, golden shadows on the frost-kissed grass. His once proud and commanding presence had been softened by months of rehabilitation and reflection. Yet, deep inside, the embers of his determination still burned, fanned by Emma’s relentless support.Emma entered the room with a steaming cup of tea in hand, her footsteps light but purposeful. She set the cup on the table beside him, her gaze lingering on his face. He looked better now—healthier, more alive—but the weight of his recent trials still rested heavily on his shoulders."How are you feeling today?" she asked gently, pulling a chair closer to him.Ethan turned to her, his lips curling into a faint smile. "Better, thanks to you. I’ve been meaning to say..." He paused, his fingers tracing the edge of the armrest. "You’ve done more for me than anyone ever has. I don’t know how I can repay you."Emma shrugged, her expression teasing. "You

Chapter 153: Facing the Past

The next morning, Ethan woke up feeling lighter than he had in years. The weight of his past mistakes and regrets still lingered, but they no longer crushed him. Instead, they served as reminders of how far he had come—and how much he still had to do.As he descended the stairs, he heard Emma’s voice in the kitchen. She was humming a soft tune while preparing breakfast, a domestic scene so peaceful that it momentarily took his breath away. For a man who had spent years cloaked in cold indifference, this newfound warmth was both unfamiliar and welcome.He entered the kitchen and leaned against the doorway, watching her. Emma turned around, her face lighting up when she saw him.“Good morning,” she greeted, handing him a cup of coffee.“Good morning,” Ethan replied, his voice unusually soft. He took a sip, savoring both the coffee and the moment.****Later that afternoon, an unexpected car pulled into their driveway. Ethan frowned as he glanced out the window, recognizing the sleek bla

Chapter 154: A Shift in the Air

The confrontation with Emma’s parents left an unsettling feeling in the air. Though Ethan had driven them away, their presence was a reminder of the ghosts from Emma’s past—the people who had always seen her as nothing more than a pawn. But this time, she wasn’t alone. She had Ethan by her side.That morning, Emma found herself lost in thought as she prepared breakfast. She hadn’t expected Ethan to stand up for her so fiercely, and the way he had shut down her parents with no hesitation had sent a strange warmth through her chest.She was used to fighting her battles alone, hiding her pain behind a calm façade. But now, Ethan was fighting for her. Protecting her.“Thinking about yesterday?” Ethan’s deep voice pulled her from her thoughts.She turned to see him leaning against the counter, his sharp eyes studying her. His presence alone was enough to make her heart race.“I just didn’t expect them to show up,” she admitted. “And I didn’t expect you to—”“To throw them out?” he finished

Chapter 155: The Calm Before the Storm

The tension from Lucas’s visit lingered in the air long after he was gone. Emma could sense it in the way Ethan’s jaw remained clenched, the way his fingers drummed restlessly on the table. He was calculating, strategizing—already preparing for whatever move Lucas planned next.But Emma wasn’t just worried about business. She knew Ethan could handle his enemies in the corporate world. What unsettled her was the way Lucas had looked at her. Like she was a piece on the chessboard he was willing to use against Ethan.She needed to be careful.Later that night, Emma sat on the couch, flipping through a medical journal absentmindedly. She was supposed to be studying, but her thoughts kept drifting to Ethan.He was standing by the window, his broad shoulders tense, a glass of whiskey in his hand. He hadn’t said much since Lucas left, and that silence was suffocating.“You’re overthinking,” she said softly.Ethan let out a dry chuckle. “I don’t have the luxury not to.”Emma sighed, setting t

Chapter 156 – The Unexpected News

Emma had been feeling off for the past few days. It started with small things—waking up feeling nauseous, sudden cravings for foods she usually avoided, and an overwhelming sense of fatigue that made even simple tasks seem exhausting. At first, she blamed stress. Between taking care of Ethan’s recovery and navigating their complicated marriage, exhaustion was inevitable.But then came the dizziness.This morning, as she stood in the kitchen pouring herself a glass of water, the room spun. She gripped the counter, steadying herself."You okay?"Ethan’s deep, commanding voice came from behind her.She turned to face him, forcing a small smile. "Yeah, just tired."His sharp eyes didn’t miss a thing. "You’ve been tired a lot lately."She waved him off. "Taking care of a stubborn man like you is exhausting."Ethan smirked, leaning against the counter, his cane resting beside him. His legs were getting stronger, but he still needed support. He studied her, his gaze lingering.Emma grabbed a

Chapter 157 – Secrets and Suspicions

Emma woke up before sunrise, her body tense from the weight of her secret. The pregnancy test lay hidden in the back of her drawer, but the truth it revealed couldn't be ignored.She turned her head slightly, glancing at Ethan, who was still asleep beside her. His strong, chiseled features were relaxed in slumber, but even then, he looked like a man who carried the weight of the world on his shoulders.Her gaze trailed down to his hand resting near hers. A hand that had once pushed her away, but lately… it lingered. It hesitated, as if unsure whether to reach for her or keep his distance.Would that change once he knew about the baby?A wave of nausea rolled over her, and she clamped a hand over her mouth, rushing to the bathroom.She barely made it before emptying what little was in her stomach. Her hands gripped the porcelain sink, her forehead pressed against the cool surface as she tried to catch her breath.The door creaked open behind her."Emma?"Ethan’s voice was hoarse from s

Chapter 158 – Ethan’s Suspicion

Ethan sat at his desk, his fingers tapping against the polished wood as he stared at the door Emma had just walked out of.Something was off.He had seen that look in her eyes before—hesitation, fear, like she was holding something back. And he hated it.Emma had always been easy to read. She wasn’t like the women in his business world who played games with their words and expressions.

Chapter 159 – The Breaking Point

Emma’s fingers trembled as she gripped the bathroom sink, staring at her pale reflection in the mirror. The pregnancy test sat beside her, its bold positive result glaring back at her like a silent accusation.How much longer can I keep this secret?She had barely slept last night, haunted by Ethan’s suspicious gaze. She could feel the walls closing in—Jake watching her too closely, Ethan growing more restless by the day, and her mother’s veiled threats lingering in her mind.She took a deep breath and placed a hand on her flat stomach. A life was growing inside her, a life that would change everything.But how would Ethan react?Would he be angry?

Chapter 160 – The Heavy Weight of Secrets

Ethan sat at his desk, the papers before him blurred as his thoughts raced, all centered around one overwhelming truth.Emma is pregnant.The news had hit him like a freight train, and the aftermath had left him standing on the edge of something he wasn’t sure he was ready to face. His world was built on control—on everything going according to plan, on every move being calculated and executed flawlessly. But this? This was the one thing he had never planned for, never saw coming.His gaze lingered on the empty chair across from him.It had been two days since Emma had told him about the pregnancy, but his mind had yet to fully catch up. Two days of trying to make sense of the chaos, two days of Emma’s silence and the cold distance he had put between them.He wanted to be angry. Wanted to lash out. How could she keep something so monumental from him? But something deeper, something he couldn’t quite name, was clawing at him. The more he tried to ignore it, the stronger it became. The
