The same apartment where I had imagined growing old with him. And he couldn’t even wait until I had collected my belongings before bringing his pregnant girlfriend home.And the irony? They were actually kissing when I walked in. It didn’t gross Finn out. He didn’t see it as ‘childish’ when he was deep-throating her. The hypocrisy was alarming.How thoughtful.Vanessa was still sitting on the couch when I turned towards her. She looked completely unbothered, almost pleased to see me.A smug smile spread across her face as she giggled. “Hey, bitch.”I stopped walking and looked at her. “Hello, pregnant home wrecker.”Her smile disappeared almost immediately. Her face turned red, and she opened her mouth, probably preparing to throw another insult at me. But Finn interrupted before she could say anything.
“Daphne, she’s crying again.”Killian groaned as he rocked Sophie back and forth in his arms, looking thoroughly exhausted. He stood in the middle of the living room, shirtless, with his trousers hanging loosely around his waist. His hair was a mess, and there were dark circles beneath his eyes.“She’s only crying because you’re holding her like a sack bag!” I yelled from the kitchen.He turned to glare at me. “Then come and show me how to hold her, Miss Expert.”“I’m busy making her formula.”“Of course you are.”I ignored his sarcasm and focused on measuring the formula into the feeding bottle.We had woken up at exactly six in the morning to Sophie’s cries. At first, I thought she would settle down after a few minutes. But she didn’t. Killian had tried carrying her around, singing to her, and even playing some ridiculous cartoon on his phone. Nothing worked.Now, almost an hour later, neither of us had gotten even a wink of sleep.I shook my head as another loud cry came from the l
Killian's POV~I kissed her again, just long enough to make sure she felt every single ounce of deliberate ruin I was offering before I finally found the strength to pull away.Daphne's cheeks had turned a lovely shade of red. She stared at me for a moment, her lips slightly parted, before clearing her throat."Well, I..." She looked away, suddenly very interested in the coffee table. "I think I'm feeling sleepy."I raised an eyebrow. "Right now?""Yes. Very sleepy." She nodded quickly. "I should probably get some rest before I leave later."I pressed my lips together to hide my amusement."Of course, Dolphin."She gave me a quick, awkward smile before getting to her feet. "Good night, Killian.""Good night."She turned and hurried down the hallway, nearly stumbling over her own feet.I watched her disappear, a smirk slowly forming on my face.My little dolphin was flustered.And I had a feeling she would be thinking about that kiss for quite some time.I leaned back against the couc
“Yes, I’m with your child.”Vanessa’s last words echoed inside my head, bouncing against my skull as I finally stumbled back into the penthouse and fell hard onto the couch. I was completely bone-tired, but sleep felt like a distant planet.Vanessa was carrying Finn’s child.So soon.Throughout our entire six years of dating, Finn had been obsessively careful. He never had sex with me without a condom, always citing the risks, precautions, and his grand plans for our future, even when I’d joked about how unnecessarily cautious he was.Yet, here he was, knocking up his senior executive assistant well enough to result in a pregnancy.I stared at the opposite wall, trying to make sense of it.How long had they been sleeping together? Had he been careless with her from the beginning, or had they been planning a future behind my back while I was busy planning mine with him?The thought made my stomach turn.I rubbed my forehead and leaned back against the couch. I was tired of thinking abou
Before I could process her sudden appearance in the lobby, she marched forward with a wild, furious look in her eyes. She looked like an absolute hurricane."You little bitch!" Vanessa shrieked, lunging straight for me with her fingernails out.My breath caught in my throat, my feet glued to the marble floor as she flew across the space. But before she could make contact, Finn threw his arms around her waist, trying to hold her back."Vanessa, stop it! What the hell are you doing?!" Finn yelled, straining against her as she thrashed. “Let go of me!” she screamed, struggling against his hold. “Get your hands off me!”“Have you lost your mind?”“She’s the reason you left me sitting in that damn car for hours!” Vanessa screamed, swinging her elbow backward and slamming it straight into his ribs.Finn let out a sharp gasp of pain, his grip loosening just enough for her to break free. She stumbled forward, her eyes locked on me like a predator, her hand raised to strike.I braced myself t
For a moment, I wondered if I heard him correctly, but the look on his face made it clear I hadn't misheard. I let out a short, disbelieving laugh."Seriously, Finn? Is that what you came here to ask me?""Just answer the question, Daphne. Are. You. Fucking. My. Brother?!" He growled, his face mottling into an ugly twist.I could hear Killian shifting behind me, probably about to make Finn regret raising his voice at me but I quickly intercepted. "Why should I answer you? Would the answer make you feel better?" I scoffed. "You get caught in bed with your secretary on our engagement night, you try to pitch a bizarre breeding arrangement like some thoughtful saint, and I'm the one you're accusing of crossing a line?"His jaw tightened. "Don't try to turn this around on me, Daphne. You stormed out of the hotel, and where do you end up? In the middle of the night, at my brother's place? It doesn't take a genius to understand what this is.""No, I think you forgot to get your head checked
