“I wasn’t disgusted! I was bothered because you clearly regretted it. I could see it on your face.”

My head snapped back, and I licked my lips as I shook my head. “What? No! I was just… I don’t regret it. It was nice. I just don’t think we should do it again.”

He laughed, but I could see the hurt on his face as he stepped back. “Right.”

“Alex,” I sighed, guilt rearing up as I watched his face harden to hide his emotions.

“Let’s just go. Do you want me to take you home, or do you want to go back inside and finish the night?” He sounded exhausted, but from how he had shut himself off from me, I knew he was hiding his real feelings. I just wished I knew which ones were real.

“I think it would be best for us to go home,” I said, staring at the small white button on his shirt, unable to meet his gaze.

“Okay,” Alex said, turning to leave and holding his arm out for me.

We still had an image to uphold, and it wouldn’t look good for either of us to leave the party in the mid

    ALEXANDER“Thank you, Ms. Fuller. I appreciate you meeting with me.” I said, taking the seat across from her. “We’ve been seeing you with Bailee Johnson and her daughter Brinley Johnson. Rumors have it that you’re Brinley’s biological father. Is that true?” “It’s Bailee Evans, and no. Caleb Johnson is Brinley’s father. Bailee is fiercely loyal to those she loves, and I have no doubt that she was completely faithful to her ex-husband. She and I weren’t even in contact during her marriage.” “We already know that is false from the DNA test provided to the judge. Caleb Johnson was proved not to be her father.” She smirked as if she had me. “The test provided by Caleb’s team? Knowing both parties, I know who can and cannot be trusted.” I wanted to look over her shoulder into the camera she had set up there as a message to Caleb, but the viewers would just twist it as me being malicious or lying. “That is a big accusation.” She said, licking her lips with excitement as she adjusted in
