Her hesitation makes me want to put a fist through the wall. “Yes,” she finally says.
“When?”
“S-seven years ago,” her voice is shaking so badly, making her teeth chatter in her mouth, I can hardly make out the words.
“Mine?” I am clenching my teeth so hard, I feel like my jaw is going to crack.
“Y-yes,” she nods, looking all pitiful and pathetic with that sheet all gathered in her hand and held over her breasts.
“Where is that baby now?” So help me God, if she gave my baby up for adoption, I don’t know what I am going to do to her.
“Gone.”
That’s it. One word. Just one word that shatters me completely.
She aborted my baby. Our baby. I can’t breathe, and I want to punish Hunter. I want her to suffer the same way that I am right now.
“Did you…” I start asking her because I need to hear the words.
“Yes,” she whispers before I have a chance to voice my question. And it hurts so much.
“When?” I have no idea why I have this visceral need to know all the gory details.
“When we ran into each other at the hospital, I was…”
“You have got to be fucking kidding me,” I jump out of the chair and approach the bed, almost yelling in her face. Just when I didn’t think that things could get much worse, they just went and did. “And you didn’t say a word.”
“I couldn’t, I was upset and you…”
“You were upset,” I throw my head back and laugh sarcastically. “You. What about me, Hunter? I didn’t have a right to know any of this?”
“There was no time, I didn’t know what…”
I cut her off again with a slash of my arm in the air. Every word coming out of her mouth makes the entire situation worse. How could I have been so wrong about her, not once but twice?
“And now we’re married,” I voice the conclusion to my inner thoughts. “Funny how life works, right, Hunter?”
“You regret us getting married?” her eyes are too big in her face, full of unshed tears, probably meant to sway me, make me feel sorry for her. But all I feel right now is contempt.
I wasn’t so sure about getting revenge on her before. Huge mistake on my part. I am going to make her pay for all the pain she’s caused me seven years ago, the time in between, and, most importantly, in the last five minutes of hell.
“Would you be happy to wake up married to the person who killed your baby?”
The mask falling on her face is instantaneous. She looks stricken by pain, skin ashen with apparent grief. The hand still holding the sheet over her breasts suddenly lets go, and she throws her feet over the edge of the bed like she is about to get out.
I start pacing the room, almost knocking her down when she tries to step around me. Naked. I am so distraught by our entire conversation, I don’t even care. My dick is dead.
The door to the bathroom closes, allowing me to let out a sigh of relief. I stop pacing and hang my head down in defeat. How did this happen? How did she not tell me that she was pregnant seven years ago? Then again at the hospital. My heart hurts for the little baby that I never knew it ever existed.
When the bathroom door opens and I hear Hunter walking out, I turn around to look at her. She is dressed in the clothes she had on last night and is currently looking for her shoes. Her face is still frozen in the mask she slipped on earlier.
“Where do you think you’re going?” The tone of my voice sounds way too harsh even to my own ears, but I don’t care. She deserves everything I throw at her right now.
“I need to find Chloe,” she mumbles as she slips her high heels on. They looked sexy as fuck last night. Now they just look trashy, just the way I think of her now.
“Forget Chloe. You’re with me now. You’re not going anywhere.”
That piece of information seems to wake her up a little, her anger getting stirred. “You can’t stop me from going to my cousin, Zach. You don’t own me.”
