The Billionaire’s Christmas Surprise Novel – “Congratulations, Mrs. Ryan,” the doctor said with a bright smile. “You’re pregnant!” I froze, her words taking a moment to sink in. “I’m… pregnant?” I stammered, staring at her.
“Yes,” she confirmed, nodding enthusiastically. “About a month along. Your test results are very clear.” My hands instinctively rested on my flat stomach. “A baby,” I whispered, a small smile creeping onto my lips. A rush of excitement and nerves filled me. This was the best news I had ever received.
Finally, something to bring Ryan and me closer. Maybe this would change things between us. Maybe he’d finally see me as more than just his contract wife. “Thank you, doctor,” I said, standing up and shaking her hand. As I left the clinic, I couldn’t stop grinning. I was going to be a mother.
And Ryan was going to be a father. He deserved to know right away. I headed straight to his office, clutching my purse tightly. I imagined how he would react. Would he be shocked? Happy? Maybe even… excited? When I arrived at the company, I walked through the familiar halls, my heels clicking against the polished floor.
I smiled at the receptionist, who gave me a polite nod. His office door was slightly ajar when I approached. I was about to knock when a sound from inside made me stop. A low chuckle. A woman’s voice. “Ryan, stop it,” the voice teased, playful and sultry.
I frowned and peeked through the gap. My heart stopped at what I saw. “She’s back?” Ryan stood between Kate’s legs, his hands on her waist. She was perched on his desk, leaning back slightly, her arms wrapped around his neck.
Their lips were locked in a passionate kiss, his hand sliding up her thigh. I felt like I had been punched in the stomach. My hand flew to my mouth to muffle a gasp as tears blurred my vision.
