His Rejected Wife Came Back Pregnant

The woman Damian Blackwood had buried in his heart for three years was standing in front of him. Alive. And pregnant. Damian froze at the entrance of the Blackwood Hotel, his eyes locked on the woman walking toward the private elevator. Serena Vale. His wife. No—his ex-wife. The woman he had rejected three years ago. For three years, Damian had convinced himself that Serena was nothing more than a painful chapter in his past. He had erased her number, ignored every rumor about her, and refused to ask where she had gone. Until now. Serena looked nothing like the frightened woman he remembered. She wore a simple black dress beneath a long coat, her dark hair falling over her shoulders. Her face was calm, almost emotionless. But there was one thing Damian couldn't ignore. Her hand rested protectively over her stomach. His jaw tightened. She’s pregnant. A strange feeling twisted inside him. Then Serena's eyes met his. For one second, the entire hotel seemed to disappear. Damian took a step forward. “Serena.” She stopped. Her expression didn't change. “Mr. Blackwood.” The coldness in her voice hurt more than he expected. “You're pregnant,” Damian said. Serena glanced down at her stomach before looking back at him. “Yes.” “Who is the father?” Silence. Damian stepped closer. “Answer me.” Serena's lips curved into the faintest smile. Then she whispered the words that made his blood run cold. “Why should I tell you?” Damian stared at her. Because three years ago, before he rejected her, Serena had told him one thing he had never believed. “If you ever discover the truth, you'll regret letting me go.” Now, she was back. And Damian was beginning to fear that the truth had come with her.
