“You look disturbed, what's wrong?” Leo asked that Thursday evening.

He had helped watch Imogen, and now that she was asleep, we had the chance to talk together, Rachel included.

She was only here because she didn't want the house scattered for Richard's arrival, so she and Rick were going to be staying with me till Saturday.

I didn't mind, it would be nice, and Imogen clearly loved the idea of being with her cousin.

“I noticed too.” She said. “What's going on in that head of yours, missy?”

    – Drex Drane –I gasped, loudly.“What?!” No.No no no no no.Shit, no!“Lisa, you can't do this to me.”“It's not about you anymore.” She snapped, sharp enough for me to take a step backI watched as her hand moved to her forehead, before dragging through her hair, then she stared back at me, and when she spoke, her tone held an emotion to it that made my heart squeeze.“It's not about you. Or me. Or even our emotions, Drex,” she sighed. “This… This is all for Imogen.”“What the heck?” I also took to dragging a hand through my hair, and didn't even realize when I started to pace back and forth, because this had to be a dream.It just had to.I refused to believe she was telling me to leave her life.To leave my daughter's life.“No.” I shook my head. “I didn't get to witness five whole years of her growth, Lisa… there's no way I'm going to miss any more second of it.”I paused in my step, “That is impossible.”She drew in a breath, and when our eyes met, I noticed how her shoulders

    “What you heard.”I hurled a glare at her. “Do I look stupid to you?”“If you don't believe, then yes,” she nodded, “you are stupid.”Drex had always been putting up the impression that he never liked Cassie, so why would he start talking to her about this?It was one thing for him to have impregnated her (maybe a mistake or something), but would he really talk to her about Imogen? About where she schools?I shook my head. “Stop spilling shit, Cassie. He would never talk to you about this.”“You sure?” She rubbed her belly as though to remind me of her pregnancy. “Because if I remember that night clearly, he'd definitely discussed being a father with you.”My fingers curled at my side. The hurt and betrayal I'd been feeling before disappeared in an instance, replaced by complete anger.“You bitch.” I said, eyes locked on hers. “I don't care what the hell's going on between you and Drex, but let it stay there.”She sneered.“If you ever involve my child in this, I swear with everythin

    – Lisa Red –All through the day, I couldn't concentrate. The article was all I could think about. Especially since Drex hadn't answered my calls.Why didn't he?Could it be real? Was the article really true?Every time I thought about it, I'd feel a different kind of pain run through me. It was like how it was five years ago. Being betrayed again.But I didn't cry.Because I remembered the promise I made to myself five years ago where I would no longer cry over any man.All I did was leave my company and take a long walk to clear my head.Leo had wanted to follow, but I insisted he didn't.Because at the moment, I needed to be alone.I would remember the times I spent with Drex together, the way he'd looked at me, things he'd said… and I'd believe that this wasn't true.But then his face the previous night would return.I hated cheating men, and if Drex did this, then he didn't just cheat, but toyed with my trust. The entire day was exhausting for me mentally, which was why by the

    *Author's Note- This chapter may be a bit disturbing for a few readers because it'll have mention of a child being attacked emotionally (a bit). I just want to warn before hand 💞💞*“Hello, ma'am.” One of my men's voice sounded the second he answered.“What do you have?” I connected the call to my car's Bluetooth, then kept my eyes on the road.“The child… Imogen Red. Most of her information is private, so I wasn't able to get much, but I do know for sure that she's Lisa Red's daughter.”My fingers tightened around the wheels. I'd suspected it, but having it confirmed sent another kind of frustration.Was it not enough that the bitch returned after so many years, but she had to do that with a child?“Did you get the other information I asked for?”“Yes, ma'am.” He cleared his throat. “Imogen attends Bright Purpose Elementary School. Considering her age, I estimated her to be in the kindergarten stage.”Bright Purpose?It rang a bell, but I wasn't sure why?“When do they close? When

    ~ Cassie Boe ~I touched my stomach for like the umpteenth time that day, still in disbelief that there was an actual life growing in me.Like literally, a human being.My child.The one person that can help me finally get my love back.I knew Drex wasn't the father, and he most likely knew that too, but as my aunt Trish had said, I would be the most believable I'd ever been. To a point that even Drex would start questioning if we'd had sex somehow and he didn't remember.Kelesky was clearly excited to be a grandma.She'd called me so many times already since I left the hospital. She even suggested coming over to take care of me, but I told her Trish had already beat her to it.“... and he helped create the perfect article, so now everyone knows you're carrying Drex's baby,” Trish explained that afternoon as she sat on the chair beside me outside my house.“Yeah, I read the article, it was so detailed, there's no way anyone would read it and not believe.” “If Lisa has even the slight

    Cassie was pregnant?I huffed out a dry laugh under my breath. “This isn't possible. It's probably just some kind of…” the words left my mouth as yesterday came running back to my head.Why the hell was Cassie in my house in the first place? What did she want to tell Drex?And why did she faint?I never passed out during my pregnancy, but I had heard that some people did during their first few weeks.My fingers curled tightly around my phone so much that my knuckles grew white.No, this was stupid. She wasn't pregnant. She couldn't be.Leo was staring at me with brows furrowed. “You okay?”“What?”“Your skin's pale. I think you should drink water.” He went to grab a bottle of water from my desk and handed it over.I had to draw in a few breaths to calm my racing heart, and after downing half the bottle's content, I decided to relax and give this a better thought.This was Drex we were talking about. For months now, he'd been talking about how he loved me and didn't feel anything for C
