Omg, the state of my living room is a total disaster! I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that Kelly and Sarah, the supposed adults, could let things get this out of hand.

I mean, I know they're fun-loving, but come on! I call out their names, "Kelly, Sarah!" and they come scurrying down the stairs, looking like guilty little kids.

"Shh, the girls are sleeping," they whisper as if that's an excuse for the chaos they've created.

I stand with my hand on my hip, waiting for them to reach the bottom of the stairs, my eyes demanding an explanation. "Seriously, guys, what happened here?" I ask, trying to keep my tone light.

As they make their way down the stairs, Kelly and Sarah dramatically flop onto the couch, exhausted.

Sarah throws up her hands in frustration, "I don't think I want a baby girl, Jasmine, with what these girls put me through!"

Kelly follows suit, collapsing onto the couch beside her, "Me too, Jasmine."

I can't help but laugh at their antics, my earlier anger evaporating. I reali

  • The Unveiled Betrayal    Chapter 45

    Maxwell's face falls, his eyes widening in shock, but I don't let up. My anger and hurt are boiling over, and I'm not about to let him off the hook that easily. "You didn't care about being a father when you were busy cheating on me," I hissed, my voice venomous. "Why now? Why do you suddenly care about being a father?"I lean in, my eyes blazing "You want to see your daughter? Do you want to be in her life? You're going to have to do a lot more than just utter a pathetic sorry, Maxwell." I spit out the words, my disdain for him clear.And then, I dropped the bombshell. "And you know what? That girl isn't even yours." I say it with conviction, that I don't entirely feel. I know I confirmed the timing of her birth at the hospital, that it falls squarely within the time I was married to Maxwell. But still, I wonder... Why did I say that? I think to myself, even as the words spill outMaxwell's eyes narrow, his gaze flashing with guilt, like he's hiding something. But then, his expressi

    I close my eyes slowly, wishing that when I open them again, Maxwell will have vanished into thin air. But when I slowly open them, he's still standing there, his presence feeling like a punch to the gut. This must be a joke, I think to myself, as I close my eyes again, trying to process the chaos spinning in my head. I grip the fork I'm holding tightly, my anger simmering just below the surface.Did Ethan set up this meeting because Maxwell put him up to it? The thought makes my blood boil. I turn to face Ethan, and his eyes seem to be begging me to understand, but I'm not sure I want to hear it.I take a deep breath, trying to calm the storm raging inside me. "What is going on, Ethan?" I ask in a firm but controlled way. "Why is he here?" I nod towards Maxwell, my eyes fixed on Ethan.Ethan's eyes darted back and forth between Maxwell and me, with guilt. "Jasmine, please listen," he says, his voice soft. "I know this is a shock, but I had to invite him."Maxwell takes a step forwar

    I'm about to let a curse word slip when I glance over at Lexi, my baby girl, and catch myself. "Shoot!" I exclaim instead, covering up the earlier word.Kelly and Sarah look at me curiously, their eyebrows raised in sync. "What's up?" they ask in unison.I hesitate, remembering my agreement to lunch with Ethan. "I just agreed to lunch with someone and I forgot I have Lexi to take care of now," I admit, feeling a bit frazzled. I've grown used to solo life here while Lexi was in California, so this is a big adjustment.Sarah notices my concern and reassures me with a warm smile. "Don't worry, we've got you covered!" she says.I look at them both skeptically, wondering if they're just teasing me. Are they up for helping me wrangle Lexi, or are they just pulling my leg?But Kelly and Sarah nod in perfect sync, their faces mirroring each other. "Seriously, Jas, we've got you covered!" they say. I breathe a sigh of relief, grateful for their support.I smile, feeling a weight lift off my sh

    Gabriel’s POVShe lets out a cold, mirthless laugh. "Sorry? You're sorry? But the deal has already been done." I sense a request coming. "But I'll ask for one thing," she adds.I look at her sharply, wondering what she wants. Is it related to keeping me away from Lexi? I'm not going to agree with that. My gut feeling is screaming that something is off about Lexi's paternity. "What is it?" I ask gruffly, my mind racing with possibilities. I'm ready to refuse her request if it means keeping me from Lexi. But I need to know what she wants first."Stay away from me and my daughter," she says, "I don't want anything to do with you. I'm trying to piece my life back together, and I don't want it revolving around you."Her words snap me out of my thoughts, and I realize there's no point arguing. If she wants me to stay away, fine. But I'm determined to uncover the truth behind Lexi's paternity."Is that what you want?" I ask, breaking the silence.She nods, her eyes still closed. "Yes, that'
