With purpose, I strode across the room, each step propelling me closer to the impending confrontation. My hand reached out and grasped the cool metal of the car keys from the tabletop, their jingle a chime of readiness.Exiting the house, I slipped into the driver's seat of my car, a sanctuary of solitude where my thoughts could echo freely. I inserted the key into the ignition, the engine coming to life with a reassuring purr. The dashboard lights blinked into existence, a constellation of guidance for the journey ahead.I shifted into gear, a silent declaration to the night. The car rolled forward, gathering speed as I navigated the empty streets. The houses blurred past, each one a silent witness to my anger.The Harmon mansion loomed before me, its grandeur casting an imposing shadow under the fading twilight. As I stepped through the towering front doors, the familiar scent of polished wood and antique furniture greeted me, a stark contrast to the tension that tightened around my
I held out my hand like a shield, staving off Dylan’s advance. “Don’t come any closer,” I warned, my voice steady despite the tremors I felt inside.“You did what you thought was best, and that’s okay. It’s really okay,” I said, my words laced with a bitter finality. “You can go back to bed with your woman.” I forced the words out, each one a stone in my throat, and turned to leave, my posture rigid to hide the quaking of my heart.But Dylan wasn’t ready to let the moment end. He reached out, his hand closing around my arm with a gentle yet insistent pull. “Charlotte, listen to me, it’s not what you think. It was just... it was just a one-night thing. I didn’t want to bother you, and then... then it happened with Allison,” he tried to explain, his voice desperation and pleading.The absurdity of his words struck me, and I turned back to face him, incredulity painting my faces. “Wow, can you even hear yourself?” I spat back, my tone scathing. “Do you actually expect me to accept that e

As we swiftly made our way to the hospital, Dylan engaged in a conversation with the doctor, who suggested that I undergo a pregnancy test. "A pregnancy test?" I murmured to myself, casting a puzzled glance at Dylan, who responded with a reassuring nod and a smile playing on his lips. "Let's proceed with the test, Doctor," he stated confidently as he looked down at my belle.In the preceding months, thoughts of a child had not crossed my mind; rather, my focus remained on our daily life together with Dylan.
