BAILEEMy ex-husband’s mistress was pregnant.Lorna was pregnant.My body was moving on autopilot as I slowly poured the cup of water over Brinley’s hair. Her cheeks had lightened to a soft pink, and I was optimistic that the medicine would kick in soon.Internally, I was fuming, but my body felt numb.Out of everything he did, cheating on me, emotionally abusing me, neglecting our daughter, and lying about me in court… this felt like the worst.How could he have the nerve to have another child when he had just thrown away his first oneHe wasn’t fit to be a father. He couldn’t even take care of himself. He had expected me to clean up after him, cook for him, and serve him like his personal maid.But maybe that dynamic was exactly why Lorna and Caleb could work together. She was his assistant. She already waited on him hand and foot. Announcing her pregnancy the night of our divorce, and in front of Brinley no less, was shameless and disgusting.Brinley lifted her head from my chest, r

BAILEE-I sighed at the familiar voice. “Nicole. It’s Bailee Joh…Evans. I need some help. Please tell me you have a key to Ben’s house or know someone who does. I need a place to stay tonight and a ride. I don’t have a car or car seat and don’t know who else to call.”It was humiliating that I didn’t have a key, but Ben and I weren't very close anymore. My best friend was on vacation with her boyfriend, and my parents lived hours away.“Bailee! Um, yeah! Give me a second!”There was some rustling on the other line, and over the loud music and sound of the packed bar, I could hear her talking to someone for a moment before she picked up the phone again.“I’ve got you, girl! Mason will be there soon. Give me your address!”I could have cried from relief that it was someone other than Alex as I gave her my address.While holding the phone between my shoulder and cheek, I got Brinley dressed before setting her on her bed to lie down until it was time to leave.Over the next few minutes, I

ALEXANDER I stepped forward, moving around Bailee as Caleb dropped the bag with a huff of anger. For several years, he had done everything he could to take down my company but had never grown the balls to address me directly, so I hadn't bothered wasting my time and resources on him. Knowing he

There was a little blood on my knuckles, and I bent down, wiping it on Caleb’s shirt before turning to leave. “You’re not going to get away with this!” The woman shouted, but I just laughed. "We will have you locked up for the rest of your life!" “Good luck with that,” Bash said before opening

BAILEEI had turned in my seat, staring through the back window as the cops surrounded Alex, shoving him to the ground and forcing his arms behind his back. My heart ached from the sight, and tears welled in my eyes as I savored the fact that I had someone in my corner, even if it were only for a few minutes. I owed Alex for what he had just done, and I hated that he was being arrested for defending me and Brinley. By the time we pulled up to my brother’s house, one way too large for only one person, Brinley’s forehead had cooled, and she was dozing in and out of sleep. I had held her to my chest tightly, terrified that we would be in a car accident and she would be sent flying without a car seat.“Baby, we’re going to stay in Uncle Ben’s house for a little bit,” I whispered, wanting her to know where she was even though she was falling asleep. It would be terrifying for her to wake up in a strange place in the morning.“Uncle Ben?” She asked, her excitement muffled by her exhaustion

BAILEEI squeezed my eyes shut as I failed to swallow back a sob, and prayed that he would have the answers to my questions.“You lean on family, and we hold you up until you have healed and can walk on your own again.”I missed him. I missed my brother so much, and I needed him.I hated that he was so far away right now when all I wanted to do was curl up under his arm like I was still a kid and let my big brother hug me until everything was right with the world again.Yet, I couldn’t. It didn’t even feel right to cry right now when I had a sick little girl sleeping down the hall that I needed to be strong for. “I can walk just fine.”“Okay, run then. I’ll walk with you until you can run again,” Ben said, and I laughed, wiping my hand over my cheeks to get rid of the tears. “Once you can, I’ll go back to cheering you on from the sidelines.”Guilt crashed into me again. When was the last time I had been to one of Ben's games to literally cheer him on from the sidelines?I had wanted to

ALEXANDERI was a fucking idiot.Since the day I met her as a kid, Bailee Evans had been the only one who could get to me. Whenever she was around, all my control snapped.Now, I had to deal with the fallout of my actions once again.Only this time, it was worth it because it was for her and Caleb Johnson had it coming.Caleb had no right to yell at, touch, or even be near Bailee at this point. I knew it wasn’t normal to feel this protective, but with our past it felt justifiable. Plus, Ben would want me looking out for his sister.My mugshot would be on every tabloid and news channel first thing in the morning, and I would take it with a smile after seeing Caleb’s face smashed in.“How did you get out of jail?” Bailee asked, crossing her arms over her chest as she popped her hip out.At least she still had a fire in her after everything she had been through. I used to love bickering with her and hearing her sass.We would banter back and forth until I couldn’t take it anymore and had

ALEXANDER“I’m sorry that I hurt you. It was the last thing that I wanted to do, but I wasn’t given a choice.”“I just said we shouldn’t talk about it!” She snapped before looking down the hallway, fear on her face. “Shit! We are going to wake her. Just...just get out!”“Look, I’m going to be around, especially if you’re going to be living with Ben. He’s one of my best friends, and you may not know this since you don’t answer his calls, but he’s been going through a hard time, too.” I said, running my hands through my hair, irritation running through me as the raw skin of my wrists from that rookie cop purposely putting the cuffs on too tight caught my eye.“What? Is he okay? What’s going on?” Bailee instantly relaxed. Her concern for her brother was apparent in the way she stood a little taller, as if instinctively preparing to shield or fight for him.“He’s fine, but it’s not my story to tell. Still, I think it would be best if we could put the past behind us to make things easier fo

BEN “I’m feeling tired and would love to turn in. If you leave my schedule with me, I will review it and explore the facility another time.” I said as calmly as possible, even though I was annoyed beyond belief that she was here. Just when I thought my life couldn’t drag me down any lower, fate d

EPILOGUE “If you get on one knee without a ring in your hands, one more time, I am going to kill you.” I hissed, narrowing my eyes at Alex. We had already been on the cover of hundreds of magazines. They seemed to get as much of a kick out of this as he did. Each time, there was one page with him

BAILEE Alex was extraordinarily happy that night and the following day. He didn’t stop smiling until we reached Ben’s house to say goodbye. Only then did his good mood fade. As soon as I saw Ben was already by his car, about to put his suitcase in, I jumped out of ours and rushed to unbuckle Br

BAILEE My body stilled as my hand closed around the small velvet box in his pocket. Everything in me was telling me to take it out. I needed to confirm that it was what I suspected, but I was also terrified that I would be wrong. What if I was just getting my hopes up, and it was just a pair of

ALEXANDER My knee bounced as I stared at the garage door, waiting for her to open it and enter the kitchen. I didn’t like that she was supposed to be on bed rest, yet she was still going to work and driving around. At the very least, I wanted my driver to take her wherever she wanted to go, but s

Ben stilled, looking down at what he had just packed for a long moment before realizing I was being sarcastic. “Very funny. Look, I leave tomorrow, and I don’t want to forget anything or run out. If the press catches me leaving the facility and running to the store for anything, they will spin it an
