Angelica"Ethan, you have to leave; you can't tell me what to do, and I mean it. You have to get your arse out of here," I said. I honestly would have called the security on him, but I couldn't even do that because she let almost everyone in because we couldn't afford them anymore."I won't, and Jax paying for any part of your brother's bill was not part of the deal...""Do you want to know something that wasn't part of the deal too?" I snapped. "You're delaying the hospital bills. "My brother needed it, yet you claimed to be withholding it because you wanted to keep me in line," I said, causing Ethan to narrow his eyes.I was already convinced that he didn't care about any other thing but himself and anything about him."You haven't changed, Ethan, and it's not like I expected you to change, but I want you far away from me. I made that clear: what I decide to do is none of your business," I said, but he refused to listen, claiming that everything I decided to do while this baby is s

The screen still glowed with unfinished work, but none of it mattered right now. “You don’t get to make that decision. The child is mine and the contract too.

You barely looked at me when we first discussed a surrogate. Now suddenly it’s sacred.”I stood, closing the distance between us until she had to tilt her head back to meet my gaze.
