Faux Vows, True Desires

That's how it was. He didn't know when he would cradle his grandchild in his arms. The anticipation of becoming a grandfather was a sweet torture.

Keith grunted in acknowledgment, watching as his father and Pete hurriedly left the office.

His father didn't tell him, but Keith could make a fair guess. Last night, his father had been tricked by Madeleine, Keith had to rush him to the hospital. He had no idea what kind of scandal Madeleine had stirred up at their home.

Keith laughed abruptly, "Such a fascinating drama, and Dad won't even let me go home to watch."

How could it be Hayden!

Madeleine understood everything seeing Hayden in disarray.

She screamed, throwing herself at Hayden, hitting him while cursing, "Hayden, you beast! I'm your future sister-in-law. How dare you do this to me! I'll kill you, you bastard!"
