Chapter Eighty One

Sage. As soon as I see the doctor's face, I immediately know something is wrong. There is a shift in the air, subtle but unmistakable, like the room itself is bracing for impact. I look up from Theo’s bed, from the slow, steady rise and fall of his tiny chest, and my heart stutters painfully in my chest.The doctor steps inside with a nurse trailing behind him, a clipboard tucked against his chest. His expression is professional, composed but his eyes are careful, too careful, like he is choosing his words before they ever leave his mouth.My fingers tighten around the edge of the hospital bed.“Sage,” he starts gently.I flinch at the way he says my name. It's so official. “Yes?” My voice comes out thin, fragile. I clear my throat and try again. “Yes, doctor?”He steps closer, glancing briefly at Theo before looking back at me. “We have reviewed the results of the tests we ran on Theo.”I nod, even though my head feels too heavy for my neck, even though my chest feels tight, lik

Chapter Eighty Two

Sage.“What’s wrong?” I ask. “Why are you looking at me like that?” I ask her confused. She lifts her head slowly, and when our eyes meet, I see it panic. Guilt. Fear. All tangled together in a way that makes my skin prickle.“I” she starts, then stops.“Maya,” I snap, my patience fraying. “What is it?”Her hands clench into fists at her sides. “I need to tell you something Sage and I promise I was going to tell you.”My heart stutters.“What? Just say it whatever it is” I say almost too loudly. She hesitates, then finally says it.“Andre is not Theo's dad.”The words don’t register, not at first anyway. I stare at her, waiting for the rest of the sentence. Waiting for the punchline. Waiting for her to laugh and say she misspoke. But she does not, “What are you talking about?” I say slowly, looking around making sure I was not being pranked.She doesn’t look away.“I am pretty sure I know who the father of my son is Maya,” I continue, my voice rising. “And it’s Andre.”Her lips tr

Chapter Eighty Three

Sage. I don’t remember deciding to attack him or even walking towards him. My body just started moving, and before I knew it I was kicking him, my arms were all over his chest as he tried to hold me, I was screaming too, causing an audience. He looks stunned. Caught off guard. Like he never imagined this moment would come like this“What did you do you son of a bitch?” I demand, my voice shaking with rage. “What the hell did you do, Andre?”People are staring. Nurses. Visitors. I don’t care.“Sage, calm down” he starts.“No,” I snap. “Don’t say my name like you didn’t just go behind my back and test my son like he was some experiment and definitely don't tell me to fucking calm down.”His jaw tightens. “I had a right to know.”“You could have just asked me!” I shout. “You could have looked me in the eye and asked me, and I would have told you the truth.”His eyes darken. “I did ask.”“What?”“I asked you,” he says, his voice low but firm. “I asked you if Theo was mine, and you told

Chapter Eighty Four

Andre."Wait" I say not realizing how inaudible my voice is but sage just keeps walking. I don’t even realize I am following her“Sage!” I call after her.She doesn’t stop or even respond she just keeps walking like she can't hear me screaming her name down the hall.Behind me, I hear the doctor calling my name, his voice urgent. “Mr Andre, we will need you back here for the”“Give me a second,” I snap without even turning around.Because I can’t do this. I can’t just walk back into that room, sit down, and let a needle decide my life without hearing the truth from her mouth first.I catch up to her near the elevators and I grab her arm.She reacts instantly.“Let go of me!” she screams, trying to yank herself free. Heads turn. A nurse pauses mid step, a few more people are staring now, but don’t care.“You don’t get to do that and then just walk away,” I say, my voice shaking with fury and disbelief. “You don’t get to drop something like that on me and walk away like it’s nothing.”

Chapter Eighty Five

Maya. I’m sitting on the edge of Theo’s hospital bed, gently rolling a small toy car across his blanket, when he lets out the softest laugh, It’s weak but it’s a laugh.And I swear, it feels like oxygen finally reaches my lungs.“There you go,” I whisper, forcing a smile even though my eyes burn. “You scared us, little man. You are not allowed to do that again, okay?”Theo blinks up at me, his lashes fluttering, his tiny fingers curling around the edge of the blanket like he’s anchoring himself to the world. Machines hum softly around us, their steady rhythm the only thing keeping my heart from spiraling again.The door opens behind me.I don’t need to turn around to know who it is.“I still can’t believe all this,” Alex says quietly.I glance over my shoulder. He is standing just inside the room, hands shoved into his pockets, his face softer than I have ever seen it. Not joking. Not teasing. Just stunned.“Neither can I,” I reply.He steps closer, his eyes drifting to Theo. His ex

Chapter Eighty Six

Maya.The hospital corridor is quiet, the kind of quiet that makes every sound louder than it should be. My footsteps echo as I walk, Theo’s blanket folded neatly in my arms. I don’t know where I’m going or why I’m moving, but I can’t stand still. Not with everything that’s happened.I’m halfway down the hall when I see him, the same man I saw with Ella a few days ago. My heart instantly stops. I know that face, it was the face of the same man I had seen at Ella's house that night. I walk closer, pretending like I’m not paying attention I almost ran into someone, it's a nurse. “Excuse me,” I say, trying to sound calm. “Who is that doctor?”The nurse glances up and answers casually. “That’s Dr. Paul. He works here.”My stomach instantly drops."Thank you very much." I say and immediately walk away. I hurry to the waiting area where Alex is sitting, staring at his phone like he’s waiting for a message that will change his life.“Alex,” I say quietly trying not to alert the others.

Chapter Eighty Seven

Andre I storm out of the room before my brain can even process what I just heard.I don’t even remember the door closing behind me.All I know is my chest feels tight, like my ribs are crushing my lungs, and my mind is racing so fast I can’t think straight.Ella, Dr. Paul, The DNA test. Theo, it was all too much for me. It was too much for any normal person to take in a day. It’s like my world is collapsing into pieces, and I’m watching it happen in slow motion.I walk down the hallway so fast I don’t even realize where I’m going.I just keep moving.I keep walking until my legs shake and my heart pounds like a drum inside my chest.I’m angry, I’m hurt and I am definitely confused.But most of all I’m ashamed because I was fooled and manipulated by literally everyone. And I didn’t even see it coming.I reach the end of the corridor and turn around, almost instinctively, like I’m being pulled back to the place where everything started.Sage is right behind me.Her footsteps are quic

Chapter Eighty Eight

Andre. The whole ride home, my mind is blank, I can't really think straight, it's like a million things are going on through in my mind. When I get home, I can see the upstairs lights are on which means she is awake. The house is too quiet when I get home, but the upstairs lights are still on which means Ella is still up.I walk in and the TV is playing some mindless romantic comedy with bright colors, fake laughter, people falling in love in ninety minutes like life isn’t complicated and cruel enough.Ella is curled up on the couch, her legs tucked under her, one hand resting on her stomach.She looks up when she hears the door.“There you are,” she says, smiling. “You are late.”Her voice is light and she actually seems genuinely happy to see me, but something inside me twists.“I got held up,” I say, shrugging out of my jacket.It’s not a lie, It’s just not the whole truth.She scoots over to make space for me, patting the cushion beside her. “Come sit. This movie is actually ki

Chapter Eighty Nine

Ella.I wake up in panick. I barely slept well too I just tossed and turned all night. It’s not the kind of panic that jolts you upright, heart racing, gasping for air. It’s worse than that. It’s the slow, creeping dread that’s been sitting in my chest since last night, heavy and warm, like something rotten fermenting inside me.Andre’s voice plays in my head over and over again from the moment my eyes open."Maybe we should get a scan.He had said it so calmly and reasonable. I stare at the ceiling, counting the tiny cracks above the bed, my hand instinctively drifting to my stomach. I don’t rub it this time. I just rest my palm there, flat, still, like I’m afraid movement might give something away.A scan, how could I get a scan when I was not even pregnant. I swallow hard and sit up, my mouth dry. The other side of the bed is empty. Of course it is. Andre didn’t come to bed last night. I had pretended to fall asleep quickly, turning my back, breathing slow and even, listening

Chapter Ninety

EllaI choose the cafe because it’s discreet, neutral and clean. The kind of place where everyone minds their own business and the music is just loud enough to blur conversations. Floor to ceiling windows, pale wood tables, overpriced pastries no one actually eats. The kind of place Paul would approve of.Of course he is already there when I arrive, he always is.Paul sits in the corner booth, back straight, suit immaculate, phone face down on the table like he’s daring it to interrupt him. He looks up the second he spots me, his jaw tightening not in concern, but irritation.That should tell me something.I slide into the seat across from him, my purse clutched tightly in my lap like a shield.“You are late,” he says without greeting me.“I threw up,” I reply flatly.That gets his attention. His brows knit together, eyes flicking to my face, then to my stomach, then back up.“Morning sickness?” he asks cautiously.I don’t answer right away. My fingers dig into the leather of my bag,
