She remembered Paxton saw her apartment, the day she left the hospital. Rhiannon rushed to her own defense.“My apartment isn’t always the way it was when you saw it. I… Uhm… I was sort of... preoccupied last month.”“I wasn’t criticizing you. I was just stating a fact. Do you think I care about your apartment?”“Put me down, Paxton. Where do you think you’re going? What are you doing?”“I need to clean up your foot, and the nearest bathtub is on the second floor. Since you don’t like elevators, I’m carrying you up.”“But I can handle elevators,” she said testily, perversely annoyed at his thoughtfulness.“Right…” Paxton grinned down at her.“You do them so well.”“I practice.”“Really? How? Like one would a piano?” Her lips twitched. She fought not to smile.“Sort of.” He wasn’t nice. She didn’t like him. She didn’t find him amusing. Paxton was making fun of her neurotic fear, a fear that was perfectly logical cons

“We both know that’s the last thing you want to do, Paxton,” she muttered.“You are carrying the Ridgway heir,” he said, pointing at her womb. “His or her well-being is my concern as much as it is yours.” Rhiannon automatically wrapped her arms around her belly in a protective gesture.“No, Paxton, it’s not. We are behaving like civil people, we are talking nicely to each other, but we both know the truth. You’re doing this against your will. You’d rather chew your arm off than be here. All you see in me are lies and money interest.”“Since we’re being honest, I’ll say it one last time… I’m still mad at you and my brother… For the secret marriage, the money he invested without talking to me first, the pregnancy. But I wouldn’t blame a child for his parents’ sins.” She stilled as Paxton’s words stung.“I’m not willing to test that out,” she replied and took a deep breath. Paxton flattened his hands against the wall as a dark, unpredictable energy swirled a

          Anthony poured two glasses of water and offered one to Rhiannon.“There was this one time, a few years ago, when we both were so… wasted,” he continued after he took a sip. “That night, in front of a good scotch, Paxton talked of things that happened in his life I knew nothing about. I mean, I knew something about his childhood years but not everything. Even at school, Paxton wasn’t talking much, keeping a low profile, focusing on his studies.”“What did he say to you?”“Paxton was living with Amelia in a very small apartment. So, every time his mother was… uhm… falling in love, that boyfriend would come and stay with them. He said every man present in his mother’s life has tried to buy his affection with gifts, trying to bribe him into accepting them, but he never liked that. And hated all of them.”“Oh…&rdq

          He knew how things were going because he talked to his friend every night. But he wanted to hear it from her.“We are,” Paxton replied. “I said nothing because it wasn’t important.”“Oh… It wasn’t my intention to make it sound like an accusation or something.”          Paxton shook his head letting her know it was okay, he wasn’t mad.“Anyway, thank you so much for asking Anthony to take a look at the restaurant. He’s made me see all sorts of things I never saw before. And all the changes… the way he talked to my staff… Your friend is an amazing person and a great chef.”“I’m glad it’s working out.”          He was, but at the same time, Paxton envied her easy friendship with his be
