Blake had given up on having children after what happened with Scarlett. He e

even told me once that we didn’t need kids.

Now that I had suddenly announced I was pregnant, the emotional whiplash was too much for anyone to handle.

But that’s exactly what I wanted to shake him up.

No matter how meticulously I planned, Blake’s protection of her made it impossible. Those siblings had been pulling my strings all along.

Now it was finally my turn.

I hung up without another word.

The previous pregnancy report lay on the coffee table, ready for his inspection. I walked to the window, waiting for him to arrive. Boston was covered in fog tonight, a thin veil over the city that matched my cloudy thoughts.

“Baby, I whispered, pressing my hand against my stomach. “Will you forgive mommy?”

Heavy footsteps broke the silence. I turned to find Blake standing there, his eyes fixed on me with an intensity that made my heart skip. Those eyes–more mysterious than the night stars–had once been my whole world. Even now, I couldn’t look away.

Blake rushed forward and wrapped his arms around me. The report fluttered to the floor, forten.

“Anna, you really have my y child! We’re having a baby!” His voice cracked with emotion.

My hands hovered uncertainly, clenching and unclenching before finally resting lightly on his waist where he couldn’t see my hesitation.

“Blake,” I said softly. “How long has it been since we really hugged like this?”

“Yes,” I murmured, trying to force a smille. “Look at you, such alig man all nervous now,

His eyes were red–rimmed as he pressed a gentle kiss to my forehead. “You’re our family’s hero!”

I leered my eyes, feeling something shift inside me. “Baby, this man might not be a good husband, but he’d be a good father. He truly wants you. I’m sorry that you could have been born safely…

“We’re having a baby,” Blake sald, noticing my expression. ‘Aren’t you happy?”

Fighting back tears, I managed a heavy “I am.”

He kissed me gently, his lips tender against mine. My body tended Instinctively, my hands pushing against his shoulders, but he caught them and placed them back around his waist.

“Hold me,” he whispered, his voice husky. “Let me kiss you for a while.”

My heart was in absolute agony.

“No,” I refused. “I’m too tired. Pregnant women need rest,”

I woke alone the next morning. Today was Claire’s press conference–Blake’s precious sister needed him to clear her name after the Scarlett’s “accidental injury incident.

I applied light makeup to hide my exhaustion and chose a high–necked black dress that covered the marks Blake had left on my skin. Then I took a taxi to the press conference.

The moment I arrived, reporters swarmed around me.

1, there are rumors the mastermind behind the incident remains a mystery. Are you here to clarify as well?”

I added, “And please keep some distance. I’m pregnant, and if anything happens to me, everyone here would be responsible.”

Their reaction was exactly wht I wanted–shocked faces and rapid camera flashes.

Blake appeared, cutting through the crowd. “Why did you come don’t want you exhausting yourself.”

“This is Claire’s big moment. How could I miss it?” I waved to the reporters with a plastic smile.
