Mr. Remington Got Me Pregnant novel Chapter 15

Landon’s POV

The road stretched for hours, long and empty, but I barely noticed the time slipping past. Each mile I drove pulled me farther from the house that had started to feel more like a cage than a home.

Every turn on the highway brought me closer to her, and that was all that mattered.

I kept driving through the night, my headlights cutting through the dark as the city lights disappeared behind me.

The world grew quieter the further I went, the noise of my life falling away mile by mile. In the stillness, one thought kept pushing forward, louder than the hum of the engine or the pounding in my head, I was going to find her.

No more distractions. No more excuses. Just her.

By the time I reached the town, the sky had softened to a pale blue, streaked with early light. It was the kind of morning that felt untouched, quiet streets, shuttered storefronts, hand-painted signs hanging above windows that had seen better decades.

This wasn’t the world I came from, but I understood why she would come here. It was a place built for disappearing, a place that offered quiet to people who had run out of peace.

I parked across from the pharmacy mentioned in the report. It was tucked between a diner and a narrow blue building with white trim, two stories high, clean but unassuming.

I stepped out of the car and crossed the street. My hands were cold despite the rising sun. I walked up the porch steps of the house next to the pharmacy and knocked, forcing myself to breathe steady.

A woman answered. She looked to be in her late fifties, with kind eyes and an apron still tied around her waist.

She blinked at me, friendly but cautious. “Can I help you, sir?”

“I’m looking for someone,” I said. “She might’ve stayed here, maybe short-term. Goes by Rose.”

The woman’s expression shifted, her smile fading just enough to catch my attention. “No one by that name lives here.”

“You’re sure?” I asked. “She’s about five-three, dark hair, olive skin. She’s quiet. Pregnant.”

The woman shook her head. “I’m sorry. I haven’t seen anyone like that around here.”

I nodded slowly. “Thank you for your time.”
