Savage Love 57
Alex looked me in the eyes, "No."The answer came immediately.Firm.Final."I wasn't asking.""You were.""I wasn't.""You don't belong anywhere near an operation."Anger stirred inside me."You don't think I can handle it?""I think emotions make people reckless.""You used me before.""And you betrayed me."The reminder landed heavily between us.Neither of us spoke for several seconds.Finally I nodded once."Fair."Alex's expression softened only slightly."I won't make the same mistake twice.""I won't either."He looked unconvinced."I know you don't trust me.""I don't.""I know.""But give me the chance to earn it."His eyes searched mine again.Looking for deception.For hesitation.For hidden motives.Instead, he found determination.Eventually he sighed."So stubborn."A faint smile tugged at my lips despite everything."I've been told that before.""I wonder who told you.""I think you already know."For the first time since I'd arrived, a small laugh escaped him.Short.

I stared at Alex in complete disbelief."No..."My voice barely existed."No..."He looked healthier than the last time I'd seen him.The bruises from the night of the raid were gone.The cuts had healed.Only a faint scar near his jaw remained as evidence that anything had happened at all."You..."I took an involuntary step backward."It's you...""Surprise?""Zane..."My words got stuck in my mouth."Zane is still searchng for me"He finished for me."I know he is."He chuckled quietly."But it's quite ironic he doesn't need you anymore."A fresh wave of shame washed over me.Instinctively, I turned toward the front door.The stranger who had driven me here was already standing beside it.Not blocking my path.Simply waiting.As if he already knew I wasn't going anywhere.Alex noticed the movement."You can leave if you want."I looked back at him."...What?""The door isn't locked."I frowned."If I leave...""You'll be walking."He gestured vaguely toward the darkness outside."Y

The evening breeze lifted strands of my hair across my face.I wrapped my arms around myself, suddenly feeling smaller than I ever had before.Then, instinctively, my hand drifted to my stomach.A fresh wave of emotion hit me.I never got to tell Zane about the baby.I still wasn't really sure whose baby it was.Zane or Alex.At this moment, i didn't want any of them,I didn't want to be in this sort of situation.But here i was...Homeless, helpless, and pregnant."I'm all you've got now," I whispered through trembling lips, as I softly rubbed my belly."And you're all I've got."The words had barely left my mouth when my phone vibrated inside my handbag.Unknown Number.My pulse quickened.For one terrifying second...I thought about who it could be.Alex?Zane?With shaking fingers, I answered the call."...Hello?"The voice on the other end was calm.Deep.Unfamiliar."Vivian?""Yes?"There was a brief pause.Then the stranger spoke words that made the blood drain from my face."I

The trunk of the taxi closed with a dull thud as the driver placed my two suitcases inside. I stood on the sidewalk outside Zane's estate for one long moment, staring at the gates that had once welcomed me.Now they looked like prison bars.A guard avoided looking directly at me.Even he seemed uncomfortable."Ma'am," the driver called gently. "Where to?"My lips parted.For several seconds I couldn't answer.Because I had nowhere to go.Then only one name came to mind.Amanda.My best friend.The one person who had always been there.The one person who would never turn her back on me.Or so I desperately wanted to believe.I told him Amanda's apartment address.The driver nodded and pulled away.As the estate disappeared behind us, tears silently rolled down my cheeks.Everything was gone.My relationship.My home.My future.And now, the baby growing inside me would enter a world that suddenly felt frighteningly uncertain.I rested a trembling hand against my stomach."I'm sorry," I

The words caught in my throat.I had rehearsed them a hundred different ways on the drive home.I'm pregnant.Three simple words.Three words that had the power to change everything.I tightened my grip on the strap of my handbag, my heart pounding so violently it hurt."Zane..."He had loosened his tie halfway before stopping.His back was still turned toward me."There was something I wanted to tell you."He went unusually still.For a moment, neither of us spoke.Then he slowly finished removing his tie and laid it across the dresser."I know."The quiet certainty in his voice made my stomach knot."You... know?"He finally turned around.His expression was unreadable.Not angry.Not gentle.Simply... empty."I received a message this afternoon."A chill crawled up my spine."What kind of message?"Instead of answering, he reached into the pocket of his suit jacket and withdrew his phone.Without a word, he unlocked it.Walked toward me.Then held the screen out."Read it."My fing

The bathroom mirror reflected a woman I barely recognized.My face looked pale.My eyes were ringed with exhaustion.For days, I'd blamed the nausea on stress.The sleepless nights.Everything that had happened since I'd returned home.But when another wave of dizziness hit me that morning—so strong I had to grip the bathroom sink—I finally admitted something wasn't right.I needed a doctor.I didn't tell Zane.He had already left for the office before sunrise, leaving behind nothing more than a quiet, "Get some rest today."The words had sounded caring.Yet distant.Like everything else between us lately.I waited until the front gates closed behind his convoy before getting dressed.My hands trembled as I reached for my handbag.Maybe it was nothing.Maybe I just needed vitamins.Maybe...I wished I believed that.The waiting room smelled faintly of antiseptic and coffee.Mothers sat beside toddlers.A young couple laughed quietly over ultrasound pictures.An elderly man flipped thr
