Samantha. Sam. Could this be whom Remy had been studying with? He’d acted as thoughSamwere a guy...
Ismay threw her legs over the side of the bed and got up.
How do you know her first name?
I heard him say it.
And how do you know me? How’d you get my number?
We had a class together once—and did a group project not long after you got with Remy.
Ismay was feeling a bit sick to her stomach.
What’s your name?
I don’t want to say.
Why not?
Because Remy can be a vindictive bastard.
Was that true?
How would you know?
When he got me pregnant, you should’ve seen how he acted.
The wordpregnantstood out as the other words melted into the background.
You were pregnant with his baby? When?
Before you came along. When he was with Noelle Poole.
Ismay recognized the name of Remy’s former girlfriend. They’d run into her occasionally on campus or various local eateries, but the relationship had ended badly, and Remy always circled wide to avoid her.
You’re saying he was cheating on her with you?
Isn’t that obvious? This is my revenge. And God, does he deserve it.
Ismay tried to get this woman to engage with her again. She’d revealed enough with the pregnancy that Remy would be able to identify her. Didn’t she realize that? Ismay pointed it out. And asked if she’d had the baby. Did Remy have a child out there he hadn’t told her about? That possibility was mind-blowing. But after a few minutes of nothing, someone else answered—she got the impression it was a man—who said not to bother him again. He claimed to have let a friend borrow his phone, and that he’d never reveal her name. He left Ismay with:If you have half a brain, you’ll get away from Remy Windsor and stay away.
After that, she guessed he blocked her, because she couldn’t get him to respond again.
Fortunately, Ivy was at the library when Bo went in the following morning to return his books.
“Hey,” she said when he approached the circulation desk.
He smiled. “Hey.”
“Haven’t seen you for a couple weeks. I’ve been wondering if everything’s okay.”
“The storm wreaked some havoc on the other side of the island, setting me back a bit. And with the cottage now in use, I’ve got more to do.”
“The Windsors are in town, are they?”
“No, it’s just Remy’s fiancée and Bastian.”
“Bastian’s there alone with Remy’s fiancée? That’s a bit odd, isn’t it?”
