LOGINThe Victor guy steps away from the window and comes to the back of the couch, leaning his arms into it. He stares right into my eyes like I'm supposed to remember exactly who the hell he is."I know she's been fucking you, brother. Last month, and two months ago," Victor says, looking at Mr. Luthor. “But I guess she didn't know you've got a brother who's a doctor.”“When she came into my clinic, she just made me a very simple request. She first took a pregnancy test, and I realized she was already four weeks gone.”“That's when I connected it instantly. I know the baby is yours, Luthor. But the slick bitch asked me to fake a report.”“She wanted me to make it look like it's just a one-week pregnancy."Victor shakes his head, chuckling."She made me an offering. A million dollars. Like, something I already make in a few days, you know?"Everyone in the room laughs again, but I just keep listening to his words, the massive shock I'm receiving being enough to force a vomit out of me."
My eyes flutter open just a tiny bit, and the first thing I'm staring at is a plain white ceiling with a single chandelier hanging off the middle of it. The chandelier isn't even turned on. My eyes fully open next, and what comes into sight is a completely empty room with just a long black couch and a small wine table in the center of it.I try to move my hands, but they aren't budging at all. They feel completely stuck. I push myself up a bit, and the whole sight of my own body forces a tiny, scared gasp out of me. My hands are roped together tightly at the wrists, and my legs are tied together with another thick rope. It's tied in this super hard knot that's heavily bruising my ankles. I can't move my feet an inch without hurting.My heart punches a cruel, terrified beat. Ilift my upper body off the soft red rug, breathing wildly through my nose because there's a thick piece of tape sealing my mouth shut.My blurry vision starts coming together a bit, and I notice a man sitting
Cairo’s eyes are still searching mine for an answer I haven't given him yet."Baby, is something wrong? Tell me!" Cairo presses. I can see the total readiness in his eyes, this intense eagerness to deal with anyone that would ever dare to hurt me. But what if that hurt is about to come straight from him?"Cairo... there's something I need to ask you, and I need you to tell me the absolute truth."He stares down at me for what feels like three whole minutes, his eyes completely lost in deep wonder. He catches himself and finally nods. "Yes... yes, sure, of course. What is it, Diana?""Are you... did you..." My throat feels like it's coated in sand. I take a shallow breath, forcing the words past my lips. "Did you fuck Sienna?"I feel the tiniest flinching of his body, this sudden little jerk in his muscles, even though I haven't asked the main question yet."Did you... get her pregnant?"Cairo keeps staring deep into my eyes like he's totally lost, not saying a word, not even blinkin
"Babe," Pippa calls out for me, but her voice sounds super far away. She grabs my arm and pulls me over to sit down at the lunch table. "What is wrong with you? You seriously look like death. Did she say anything dangerous?"I sit down, but my legs feel like literal jelly. Pippa’s mouth is moving, but I’m totally phasing out, just staring at the yellow grease stain on the pizza box. My brain is spinning in circles.Cairo slept with her? Last week?No, that literally makes zero sense. He was with me. He called me every single night from South Africa so it's impossible. Sienna is obviously just trying to mess with my head because she's jealous."Diana!" Pippa yells into my ear, hitting her hand against the table and jolting me back to life. "Tell me what the fuck is wrong with you!"Pippa shifts her whole body on the bench so she’s facing me completely. I look at her, and her eyes are so wide and worried it actually scares me a little bit. I want to open my mouth and tell her everyth
She looks at me like she's trying to figure out how to utter the next words. Her lips just keep fluttering like crazy."Sienna, please. What is it you really want to tell me?"She takes a massive breath. "I'm pregnant."My head jerks back real quick. I'm totally confused.A tiny, awkward smile starts to form on my lips. "Okay... You're pregnant. But how is that my business? I don't even—""Diana... I'm pregnant for Cairo."My heart literally leaps straight into my belly. A crazy ringing starts in my ears. I've never heard a sound like this before, but it's so loud, yet completely empty at the same time."You're... you're what?""I'm pregnant, Diana. And I know this is a massive shock. I know this is gonna hurt you more than I'll ever understand. But Cairo slept with me before he left for South Africa, last week."My head starts shaking on its own because I'm not buying these lies. “No. No, no, that's not possible. He wouldn't do that. He was with me. He was...""He did, Diana. He rea
~~~DIANA~~~I take a bite of this pepperoni pizza and the sauce rubs all over my lips. I quickly wipe it with my napkin before it touches my work uniform."You're getting fat, you know that?" Pippa muffles with a mouth full of pizza. "It's only been a week since your man started sending you lunch every single day. A week, Diana."I swallow my food and grab my iced coffee. "I'm not getting fat, Pips. I'm just... really hydrated.""Oh, please. You're hydrated in all the wrong places. You're starting to have chubby arms."I look down at my arms. They look the exact same as they did last week.Mark is sitting across from us, holding his slice with both hands like it's some kind of holy religious artifact. "You know what I think, ladies? I think I should turn into a femboy. Just for a month. See if I can land a billionaire who pays for all my food and sends me these fancy lunches."Pippa laughs out, but chokes as soon as her soda comes dripping out of her nose. "Mark, oh my god, stop.
