Hired a Gigolo, Got a Billionaire
Chapter 94
Chapter 94 Christian's POV Zoey kept her gaze fixed on her hands for a few seconds, as if gathering courage. Finally, she lifted her eyes to meet mine. "I think so," she whispered, moving toward the bathroom. "You're right. We need to know." I picked up the test from the counter, glancing over the instructions printed on the box. It looked simple enough. I handed it to her, then stepped back toward the door. "I'll wait outside," I offered, assuming she'd want privacy. "No." Her response was quick, almost desperate. "I mean... I'd rather you stay.
If you don't mind." The vulnerability in her eyes caught me off guard. "Of course." I tried to sound casual, as if watching my marriage-of-convenience wife take a pregnancy test was the most normal thing in the world. "I'll stay." I turned my back while she used the test, granting at least that small concession to her privacy.

"How long?" I asked, staring at the little plastic object that seemed to hold the power to completely redefine our lives. "Three minutes," she said, checking the instructions.

One hundred and eighty seconds that dragged like hours. Zoey leaned against the opposite wall, her arms crossed in a defensive posture. I stayed by the door, torn between wanting to go to her and fearing that might only make the moment heavier.
"Where's Annabelle?" I asked, just to break the silence. "Probably with Marcus." Zoey forced a small smile. "They're... getting along." "I've noticed." I smiled back, trying to ease the tension. "Marcus seems different. Almost responsible. It's a little unsettling, honestly." That drew a short laugh from Zoey, the sound briefly cutting through the heavy atmosphere of the bathroom. "Annie has that effect on people. She's chaos, but somehow, she organizes everyone else's chaos." Silence fell again, growing heavier with each passing second.

I knew instantly. "Negative," she said, turning the test toward me. "Just one line." There was a single pink line in the little window, clear and undeniable. We weren't expecting a child. The relief flooding Zoey's face was palpable. She crossed the small space between us and, to my surprise, threw her arms around me, her body
wiping her eyes. "It's just... it would have complicated everything, wouldn't it? Our deal, our plans..." "Of course." I agreed automatically, returning the hug with a mechanical sort of comfort. "It's a relief." And it was, in a way. A baby would have changed everything. Our six-month contract,
