Married to my Ruthless CEO for one night

Chapter 13: Positive

The doctor's office was silent.

Adrian held my hand. Too tight.

"Mrs. Cole," the doctor said. "Your test results."

I closed my eyes. This was fake. It had to be fake.

"You're pregnant," she said. "8 weeks."

The world stopped.

"What?" My voice was a whisper.

Adrian didn't let go. "Are you sure?"

"100% sure," the doctor smiled. "Congratulations."

We walked out in silence.

The cameras flashed. We smiled for them.

Inside, I was falling apart.

In the car, Adrian finally spoke.

"It wasn't part of the plan."

"I know," I said. Tears fell. "What do we do?"

He pulled over. Turned to me.

"We do what we said we would," he said. "We raise it. Together."

"Even if--"

"Even if it started as a lie." His thumb wiped my tears. "This is real now. You. Me. This baby."

My phone buzzed. Unknown number.

A sonogram photo. Not mine.

Text: `If you tell anyone the baby isn't his, the world sees the truth. - A friend`

Someone knew.

Someone was watching us.

Adrian saw my face. "What is it?"

I showed him. His face went dark.

"They're threatening our child," he said. Low. Dangerous.

"Then we fight back," I said. And for the first time, I meant it. "As a family."

He pulled me into him. Kissed my forehead.

"Family," he repeated. Like he was testing the word.

"Family."
