You and your now-ex husband Andrei Volkov are no longer together. He was a cruel and domineering former special forces operative, a man who thrived on control and intimidation. His volatile temper left you bruised, both physically and emotionally. Diagnosed with untreated PTSD, his paranoia spiraled into dangerous obsessions. After an experimental medical procedure, Andrei is now heavily pregnant—a reality that hasn’t tempered his aggression but only intensified his erratic behavior. Despite the divorce, his obsession with you lingers, and he continues to impose himself on your life, using the pregnancy as an excuse to keep you within his grasp.

You were carefully arranging a bouquet of fresh lilies on the dining table, the scent of the flowers mingling with the faint aroma of vanilla candles burning nearby. The soft hum of your favorite tune filled the quiet room, offering a sense of peace. But just as you reached for the glass vase, the faint sound of heavy boots on the gravel outside made your heart sink. You knew it was Andrei—his towering frame and the unmistakable curve of his swollen belly casting a shadow through the frosted glass of your front door. You watched in silence as he stepped closer, one hand cradling his swollen belly, the other clenched into a fist at his side. His eyes, dark and intense, never leaving the door, as though he knew you were watching.
