Chapter 6

Author: Apollo
Silas' hostility toward Lyla had made me suspicious, but his insistence that I'd only be safe with him confirmed it. He'd been reborn too.

After staring at my stomach for a moment, he told me what he knew.

In my past life, after I eloped with Logan, Dad covered it up. Silas didn't find out his bride had been switched until the wedding day itself.

When Silas tried to call it off, Dad told him I'd run away to avoid marrying him. If Silas publicly canceled the engagement, he'd humiliate not just

    "If I hadn't noticed something was wrong and asked Silas to investigate, I'd still be in the dark right now. I'd be exactly where they wanted me, trapped in that cramped apartment..."To expose them, I hid a camera in one of my buttons. Please, help my mother and me get justice!"The reporters erupted once they heard what Dad had been doing all these years."He rode his wife's coattails to the top and then kept a mistress? He's a modern-day traitor!""Even animals don't abandon their own young! He threw away his daughter for his mistress' kids. Nathan Jackman is pure evil!""Ms. Jackman, don't worry. We'll report every detail of this. We'll make sure these people face the consequences they deserve!"The camera flashes seemed to snap Dad back to reality. Today's wedding had actually been an elaborate funeral I'd prepared for them. A funeral for their ambitions, their schemes, and their futures.He'd spent decades in business. He knew what total defeat looked like. This loss was p

    Dad and Lyla both went pale when they saw me."You... How are you here... What is this video..."Looking at them, I clenched my fists to keep from crying in front of everyone.I'd been his daughter for 20 years. I'd investigated everything. I knew what he'd done, but watching him sacrifice me for the Smiths still hurt more than I could've imagined.The baby seemed to sense my pain. Even the baby sounded dejected."If it wasn't for you, Mom, I would've lived two lifetimes without knowing Grandpa's a bad guy too!"Silas wrapped his arm around my waist, silently encouraging me to continue. "Where should I be if not here? In Logan's crappy apartment?"As I spoke, a team of bodyguards dragged Logan in, bound and gagged. Bruises covered his face.Dad's eyes filled with concern at the sight of Logan's bruises. Mom finally realized something was terribly wrong."Elara, what's going on?"Logan's recorded voice answered for me. "Technically, I should be calling you my sister too. We're

    "Logan? What am I doing here? Let me go! This is kidnapping!"When I struggled, Logan grabbed my chin roughly. "Kidnapping? That's not how anyone else will see it. To them, you're just the Jackman heiress who ran off to elope with me."Elara, I told you I wouldn't mind the bastard in your belly. Why couldn't you just leave the Jackmans with me and clear the way for my sister?"The word "sister" made my eyes go wide. "Your sister... You mean Lyla!"My act of playing dumb fed right into his ego. "That's right! Lyla's my sister! Why else would she introduce us? You thought we were meant to be, but it was all her plan from the start!"I shook with fury. "My parents will figure out what you and Lyla are up to! And don't forget, I'm Silas' fiancee. He'll never let me miss our wedding!"His sneer widened. "Who says Silas' fiancee is missing the wedding? Without you, my sister can simply take your place."You really think Silas would humiliate himself over some slut who ran off with ano

    When the other maids saw me defending Lyla again, they scattered quickly despite their confusion. Lyla buried her hatred and arranged her features into an expression of concern."Elara, your wedding to Mr. Clarke is tomorrow. You shouldn't be worrying about me. I'm fine. What I did was thoughtless, and I almost ruined your reputation. Mrs. Jackman has every right to punish me."I just don't want you to misunderstand. You know I've always thought of you as a good friend. I only wanted you to find happiness."I played dumb, acting like the naive friend she'd always manipulated. "Of course, I know you meant well. Logan and I just weren't meant to be, that's all."I'm marrying into the Clarke family tomorrow. Come to my room tonight. I have something to give you."Lyla jumped at the chance to meet privately.Back in my room, I rested my hand on my slightly rounded belly. "Baby, tonight you'll have to help me put on a little show.""Don't worry, Mom! I'm not your average baby! I'll s

    Silas' hostility toward Lyla had made me suspicious, but his insistence that I'd only be safe with him confirmed it. He'd been reborn too.After staring at my stomach for a moment, he told me what he knew.In my past life, after I eloped with Logan, Dad covered it up. Silas didn't find out his bride had been switched until the wedding day itself.When Silas tried to call it off, Dad told him I'd run away to avoid marrying him. If Silas publicly canceled the engagement, he'd humiliate not just Lyla but the entire Jackman family. And if I ever found out, I'd never forgive him.Somehow, that ridiculous excuse had actually worked.When he later found out I was the woman from the bar, he searched everywhere for me. He finally tracked down the apartment Logan and I were renting.By the time he arrived, he walked in on Logan disposing of my body. In that moment, he was reborn and sent back to when he'd first answered my call.After hearing his story, I couldn't help asking, "Silas, I'v

    Everyone froze at the sight of Silas. I quickly hooked my arm through his."Mom, Dad, I am pregnant. But the father isn't Logan. It's Silas!"Lyla, I appreciate how hard you tried to get me to elope with Logan, but I have to think about my baby. You and Logan don't need to keep lying to my parents anymore."I made it sound like I was defending her, but everyone heard the implication that she'd planned this. Lyla's jaw clenched so hard I could practically hear her teeth grinding.Silas wrapped his arm around my waist. His expression was full of disgust as he looked at Lyla."Trying to convince my fiancee to run away? Lyla, what exactly are you plotting?"Mr. Jackman, is this really the caliber of maid your household employs?"Before Dad could respond to Silas' accusation, Mom snapped at the guards."Didn't you hear Mr. Clarke? Anyone who tries to manipulate my daughter gets thrown out! And she's never setting foot in this house again!"Lyla panicked immediately. "Mrs. Jackman,
