My Accidental Billionaire Husband (Katia and Julian) novel Chapter 324

Tell Her You Are Her Husband

Julian’s POV

I left Katia’s office and drove straight back to Manhattan. The drive from Brooklyn passed in a blur. I barely remembered stopping at lights or changing lanes. My mind kept replaying the same thing over and over. She was pregnant. She knew. And she still had not said a single word to me.

I parked in the underground garage at WEG and took the private elevator up. My jaw stayed tight the whole way. i walked straight into my office and found Zane already there, sitting on the couch with his laptop open on his

knees.

“You look like shit,” he said the second I stepped inside.

“Thank God I found you here,” I said, closing the door behind me. “I might have done something stupid. I need to know I’m not losing my mind.”

Zane closed his laptop and leaned back. “Julian Windsor losing his mind? That can only be about Katia.”

I started pacing the office. I stopped by the big window and looked down at the city below. Cars moved like small dots. People walked along the sidewalks. Everything looked normal while my life felt like it was coming apart.

“She’s pregnant, baby, Zane.”

” I said. “But she did not tell me. She has not given me anything. I think she wants to abort my

Zane let out a long breath and rubbed his face with both hands.

“She will tell you when she is ready,” he said. “The same way you have not told her you are her husband.”

“I will tell her,” I said quickly.

“Julian,” Zane said, his voice serious now. “I am your friend, and I will tell you the truth. You had how long to tell Katia you are her husband?”

He waited a moment before he kept going.

“Now there is another baby on the way. You are the father to two of her children, born or unborn. But you brought this to yourself. Delia is still playing wifey while the real wife is being treated like a sneaky link. Just think with your head for a moment, not with your dick. I told you from the start when you found out you were the husband that you needed to tell her, but you wanted to punish her. Well, how did that go? You are expecting now, and there is still the sister in your house playing the wife.”

His words hit hard. I stayed by the window and looked out at the city again. He was right. I had no right to demand she tell me about the pregnancy when I had been hiding something even bigger from her for so long.

I turned around and sat down in the chair across from him. My hands felt restless, so I rested them on my knees.

“I need to tell her,” I said. “Maybe then she will open up about the pregnancy.

Zane nodded slowly. He did not look surprised

“You should have done il months ago,” he said. “But you did not. You wanted to keep control. You wanted her to fall for you first. You wanted to see her choose you without knowing the truth Now look where that got you.

I rubbed the back of my neck. The pressure had been building for days I very morning I watched her go into the bathroom. Every morning I waited for her to come out and act like nothing was wrong Every night I lay next to her wondering if she was going to tell me or if she was thinking about ending it

“I see her every day,” I said. “I see how tired she looks. I see how she avoids coffee now. I see the way her hand sometimes moves toward her stomach when she thinks I am not looking. And still she says nothing.”

Zane leaned forward.

“Because she is scared, man. She has a son already. She has a family that just blew up in her face. She has you, but she does not know the full truth about you. Of course she is scared to say it out loud.”

I stood up again and walked back to the window. The city looked the same as it always did, but everything felt different now. There was a baby. My baby. Growing inside the woman I had been looking for since Vegas. And she did not know I was the man from that night.

“I love her,” I said quietly. “I love Aiden. I want this baby. I want all of it. But I do not know how to make her trust me enough to say it.”

Zane got up and came to stand next to me by the window.

“Then start with the truth,” he said. “Tell her who you really are. Tell her you are the man she married in Vegas. Tell her you have known for a while. Tell her you want this baby with her. Stop waiting for the perfect moment because it is never going to come.”

I nodded. He was right. I had waited long enough.

“I will tell her tonight,” I said.

Zane put a hand on my shoulder for a second.

“Good. And when you do, be ready for her to be angry. Be ready for her to need time. But do not wait anymore. You have two kids with this woman. You cannot keep living like this.”
