Blue Carberry
After seven years of playing the stand-in in an innocent, poor student and rich heir romance, I get fired.
After our intimate moment, Jacob Lloyd leans back against the headboard. "Sasha's back in the country. She's not thrilled about us, so go find yourself a boyfriend."
"Okay," I say.
I pack my bags and leave Jindale without looking back.
Five years later, my husband comes home to honor his ancestors, and I arrive ahead of him with our kid.
Right outside the hotel, I run straight into Jacob and Sasha Reid. They're throwing an engagement party.
Jacob spots the child by my side. Stunned for a second, he lets a wave of suppressed ecstasy wash over his face. "It's been five years… Look at how big our kid is.
"Sasha can't have children for medical reasons anyway. Bring the kid back to the family, and I'll give you a place to stay."
As I look at his triumphant face, I feel nothing but disgust.
Five years ago, he threw me out so Sasha wouldn't misunderstand, and now he wants me back.
It's too bad for him. I'm already married, and the kid isn't his.
