Chapter 405

Harrison's face drained of color as the realization hit her. The test results were unmistakable - she was carrying a child.

Pregnant.

Her thoughts raced back to that fateful night with Nathaniel. Their divorce had been finalized, yet they'd shared one last reckless moment together. She'd meant to take emergency contraception, but Nathaniel's cruel dismissal the next morning had shattered her. The fever that followed had consumed her for days, pushing everything else from her mind.

Including the pill she'd forgotten.

Now, nearly six weeks later, the consequences of that night were growing inside her.

Her vision blurred. The room seemed to tilt as she gripped the edge of the bathroom counter for support.

After their divorce, she'd severed all contact with Nathaniel completely. Never in her wildest nightmares had she imagined this outcome.

The irony was almost laughable. After everything they'd been through, after all the pain he'd caused her, fate had dealt this final cruel blow.

Her hands trembled as they hovered over her still-flat abdomen. Was there truly a tiny heartbeat fluttering beneath her fingertips? A living reminder of the man who'd broken her heart?

Nathaniel's child.

Her child.

The weight of it threatened to crush her.
