AIDEN

The detective sent me the address of the hospital Sharon was rushed to.

In the room, Sharon was curled around herself as far as the cuffs that connected her hand to the bed railing could allow.

She quickly sat up when she saw me enter the room. "Aiden," she breathed, eyes wide with fear.

"So not only are you a criminal, but also a liar? A fraud!" I bit out as my gaze briefly fell on her flat stomach. I scoffed to myself as I dropped into the seat that faced her bed. I felt so drained that I could barely stand on my own two feet. She shook her head, tears streaming down her face just like they had rubbed down her face when she was arrested. "It's not what you think, I swear, I-" she broke off and her shoulders shook as she cried harder.

I tilted my head to the side and regarded her for a while. I was not surprised that I felt no atom of pity for her. "If it's not what I think, what is it? Tell me."

"For so many months, you pretended to be pregnant!" A bitter laugh escaped my lips as I shook my head. It still felt like a joke. I would not have believed the detective if all the signs that I had overlooked hadn't been there.

I leaned forward, my elbow propped up on my knee, my fingers interlaced as I placed them under my chin and looked at her. "Why did you do this, Sharon? Why fake a pregnancy? Did I ever pester you for a child?"

Her lips trembled as she shook her head, sniffing. "No, Aiden, you n-"

"I don't want to hear you utter my name."

Her sobs doubled. "I'm sorry. I was just scared of losing you. I'm sorry."

I scoffed. "Scared of losing me?"

"When I found out that I was pregnant-"

I arched my brows. "You were originally pregnant?"
