All Chapters of He Snitched on Himself: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Dad replied almost immediately:[That scum! Sweetheart, don't panic. I'm getting the best lawyer right now. He's about to learn he messed with the wrong family.]I swallowed back the nausea and kept scrolling through Kelsey's posts.One month ago:[We finally picked out our little home today. The area is amazing! Thanks to my hubby for giving me and our baby such a cozy place.]The photo showed her clinging to Nolan Thomson's arm at a sales office. Her dress showed off her bump, and she was smiling brightly.Nolan had an arm around her waist.I'd never seen him look at me that gently.Two months ago:[My hubby says our baby and I are his whole world. He's giving us the best life. This steak smells sooo good!]The picture was from some fancy restaurant. On the table sat the expensive steak I could never bring myself to order.I remembered that night.I'd wanted to celebrate my promotion there.Nolan said it was too expensive.So we got takeout.Three months ago:[Two lin

She instinctively covered her stomach."Thank you, Ms. Jourdain.""The baby's father treats you well, right?""Yeah."She wouldn't look at me."Good. People should appreciate what they have. And stay away from scumbags."I held her gaze for a second, then walked away.Outside the building, I took a slow breath.'Kelsey, do you really think staying in the background keeps you safe? I'll show you exactly what a wife can do.'That night, Nolan came home late, smelling like women's perfume."Client dinner. Had a few drinks."He let out a small burp. "I'm gonna shower."The second he walked into the bathroom, I grabbed his phone.Kelsey: [Honey, the appointment went great! The doctor said we could find out the gender. It's a boy!]Nolan: [That's amazing! My son! I'll take you shopping for baby stuff tomorrow.][You're the best. I love you!][I love you and our baby too. Once he's here, we'll finally be a real family.]I felt sick reading it.They already had it all planned

That night, Nolan came home looking drained."Babe, work got messy today." He tried to act like he had it together."What happened?" I asked, concern all over my face while I laughed inside."A few major clients suddenly pulled out. I have no clue why." He rubbed his temples, frustrated."Could competitors be messing with things behind the scenes?" I tilted my head."Maybe..." Something flickered across his face. "A few companies have been trying to steal our business lately."I smiled to myself. He still had no clue the real problem was sitting right next to him."Don't stress too much." I kept my voice soft. "We'll figure it out. Worst case, my family can help."He looked at me like I hung the moon. "Having you is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I don't know what I'd do without you."Hypocrite.If I was really that great, why cheat on me?But he wouldn't be saying that for much longer.***Early the next morning, my phone rang.Kelsey."Ms. Jourdain, I want

Something dark flashed through Nolan's eyes."You sure it's mine?"Kelsey just stared at him.His voice turned cold. "A girl who used to hang around bars with men? Who knows whose baby you're carrying?""That's a lie!" Kelsey screamed. "I never did that! You were the one who wanted me first! You said you loved me!""Proof?" Nolan let out a mocking laugh. "Those chats only show you coming after me. And the pictures? You forced me to take them.""And the house!""That was company housing. Temporary employee housing." He didn't even blink. "You seriously thought it was a gift?"Kelsey looked completely shattered.Crying, she stepped toward him and reached for his hand."You touched my stomach. You said you loved me... you said you loved our baby—""Enough!" Nolan shoved her away. "You psycho. Keep bothering me and I'll call the cops!"She stumbled back, almost losing her balance."Nolan!" I snapped. "Whatever happened, she's still pregnant!"He realized he'd slipped and imme

After fighting with himself for a while, Nolan finally made his choice.He looked at Kelsey, his voice flat and cold."The doctor's right. Ending the pregnancy is the best option for everyone.""No!" Kelsey shook her head so hard it looked painful. "That's your son! How can you even say that?""That's exactly why." Nolan forced the words out. "Because he's my son, I can't let him live in pain. Instead of letting him suffer after he's born, it's better to—""Shut up!" Kelsey screamed. "You're a monster! You don't deserve to be anybody's father!"She lunged at him, but I caught her first."Calm down." I grabbed her shoulders."Calm down?" Her voice cracked. "He's talking about killing his own child! How am I supposed to calm down?"For a second, seeing her fall apart almost made me feel bad.Almost.Then I remembered the way she'd acted before.The feeling disappeared.This was the price of going after a married man."Kelsey, I can help you," I said suddenly.Both of them
