Chapter 20 It had been weeks since that night the night Rozen fell to his knees , eyes red from guilt and liquor , trembling as he told me he was scared … scared of losing me , scared of not being enough . And since then , things were slowly changing . He really did change . Each morning I woke up to soft kisses on my forehead . Each night ended with him wrapping his arms around me like I was something precious , breakable , and yet irreplaceable . His possessiveness never truly disappeared but it softened . He began to understand that love wasnt about ownership , but about trust . And for once , I didnt feel like I was walking on eggshells . I felt … loved . Fully , overwhelmingly , and finally peacefully . Rozen kept his promise . He let me work . Let me meet clients . Still occasionally pouted whenever I mentioned a male name , but he no longer barked out orders or crossed boundaries . Instead , he accompanied me sometimes , surprising me at my office with coffee or food , bringing my team gifts , making everyone swoon with how supportive he was . And maybe , just maybe , I swooned a little too . One afternoon , while working on a client proposal with Alice , Rozen arrived without warning . Youre here ? I blinked , hiding my wide smile . He held up a bag , grinning . I figured my wife deserves a break and some good food . Alice laughed . Hes going to ruin every other man out there . I took the food , playfully rolling my eyes . Thanks , Mr. But before I could open the box , a sudden wave of nausea hit me . I covered my mouth . Ugh 1 sorry , I need the bathroom . Alice looked concerned . Are you okay ? No , I murmured , rushing away . Rozen was behind me in seconds . Jasmine ? His hand supported my back as I vomited into the sink . My entire body shivered . Cold sweat ran down my neck . When I finally stood straight , he touched my cheek . Youre burning up … Thats it , were going to the hospital . I wanted to protest . But honestly , I was scared too . Youre pregnant , the doctor announced gently , smiling . About six weeks along . I blinked . Rozen stared at the screen in disbelief . W What ? The doctor turned the monitor toward us , pointing at the tiny flickering dot . Thats your babys heartbeat . I didnt know how long I was silent but tears al- Chapter 20 59 % 19-30 ME TO AD I didnt know how long I was silent , but tears clouded my eyes . And then suddenly Rozens hand grabbed mine , his grip firm yet shaking . Were having a baby ? he whispered . I turned to him . He wasnt smiling he was crying . Like really crying . Quiet , stunned tears . Yes , I whispered . Were having a baby . He laughed through his tears and kissed my forehead , his hand never leaving my stomach for the rest of the appointment . From that day on , Rozen transformed again . He was already a possessive husband but now , he became an overprotective future father . No heels . Only flats . Youre not lifting that , Jasmine ! You skipped a meal ?! Are you insane ? Every doctors appointment he was there . Every craving I didnt even need to say it ; he just knew . He even turned one of the guest rooms into a nursery overnight , complete with handpicked furniture and baby monitors . And honestly … I loved it . I loved how his eyes softened when he looked at my belly . I loved the way he kissed me more gently , more reverently . I loved the way he held me at night as if I was carrying his whole world . Until one night … everything shifted . Rozen was in the shower . I was lying on our bed , scrolling through baby items on my phone when I saw it . His phone lit up on the nightstand . A message . From a name I thought had long disappeared from our lives . My stomach twisted not from nausea . But from something deeper . I didnt want to look . But I did . I shouldnt have . Mina : Please , I want you back . I know you dont love her so come and see me . Im at this address . The world fell silent . I stared at the message , numb . The phone buzzed again . Same sender . Same desperation . I couldnt move . All those nights . All those words . Im yours . Only yours . They echoed in my ears like a cruel joke . I placed the phone back , hands trembling . Rozen came out moments later , towel wrapped around his waist , hair damp and dripping . He smiled at me . I couldnt smile back . His eyes narrowed slightly . Whats wrong ?
