CHAPTER 54
ADAM’S POV
Knowing about Aria’s dream to work with Wellington Enterprises, I made sure my company joined this project. Aria has no ide that I’ve been stalking her, meticulously gathering every piece of information about her new role as the general manager at
Jackson Paragon–the very guy I despise!
Aria thinks that I gave her a divorce and walked away? Not a chance! I’m determined to fight until the end to win her back. I love her deeply, and although it might seem too late, it’s never truly too late for a second chance.
While I’m proud of her success, I can’t shake the guilt of holding her back. I’ve always underestimated her, keeping her under my
control, and she never deserved that kind of treatment. She deserved freedom and respect, and now I realize how much I’ve
wronged her..
Now is the time to fix everything between Aria and me, to mend all that went wrong in our life. This is my chance to make amends, to show her the love and respect she has always deserved. I won’t let this opportunity slip away; it’s time to set things
right and fight for our future together.
Just when she’s out of my life, it seems like all the guys are hovering around her like hungry wolves! I can’t just stand by and
watch. I’ve got to save her and show her that I’m still the one who truly cares-
To safeguard this relationship, I’ve kept the divorce a secret from Sophia. If she ever finds out, she will utterly destroy me.

Just as I’m about to slip away from Sophia, her anguished shout pierces the air. I rush immediately to her room, and she is
holding her tummy. It appears she is suffering from a stomachache.
“Hang on, Sophia, I’ll call the doctor.”
She glances at me, wincing in pain, unable to speak.
In a few minutes, our family doctor arrives and examines Sophia who is still wriggling in pain. Her distress eases only when the doctor assures her of her well–being. Relief washes over her, but beneath it, a lingering question remains; was her pain genuine, or a cry for attention?
“Just take care since you’re three months pregnant.”
The doctor’s abrupt revelation catches me off guard, sending a jolt of disbelief through me. Turning to Sophia, I see her face flush with embarrassment, her eyes avoiding mine as if unable to meet my gaze. It’s a moment laden with unspoken tension, the air thick with the weight of the doctor’s words and Sophia’s reaction.
As Sophia attempts to protest, her voice strained and unconvincing, I can’t shake the nagging feeling of doubt that gnaws at me. Despite her efforts to contradict the doctor, her demeanor betrays a sense of unease, further fueling my suspicion. There’s something about her reaction, a subtle shift in her demeanor, that leaves me questioning the truth of the situation.
“Oh doctor, you missed on my last report. I’m only one month pregnant.”

Despite my disbelief, I can’t fathom the idea of the doctor making such a serious error. However, 1 choose to remain silent, opting to observe the unfolding situation rather than voice my doubts.
“Oh, my mistake… You should both get married as soon as possible since Adam is now divorced.”
I’m taken aback by the doctor’s intrusion into our personal affairs. Who is he to dictate our relationship status, especially considering I haven’t disclosed my divorce to Sophia? His suggestion for us to marry, given my undisclosed marital status, only complicates matters further. It feels like an unnecessary and unwelcome intrusion into our private lives. But then, I realize that
the doctor is trying to cover up his mistake
Sophia’s giggle rings out, and I can’t help but wonder what thoughts are swirling in her mind. Is she entertaining the idea that I’ve kept the divorce news from her, perhaps anticipating a surprise marriage proposal from me?
I suddenly sense that the doctor and Sophia are hiding stuff from me. I can keep quiet for some time, but not all the time
“Doctor, you examined Sophia and said that she was three months pregnant. Can you clarify?”
As I observe both the doctor and Sophia, their expressions suddenly shift to blankness, their features devoid of any discernible
emotion. It’s as if a curtain has fallen over their faces, hiding their thoughts and feelings from view. The abrupt change in
demeanor leaves me unsettled, prompting me to wonder what lies beneath their inscrutable masks,
Sophia and I had sex about a month ago and I find it weird that the doctor said that she was three months pregnant. I need
answers.
However, before I can get a reply from the doctor, we are interrupted by a call from my office regarding the project. Since this is my priority, so I leave the room immediately.
