Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 883

Parker's warmth vanished!

In the hospital room, Tiana was fuming at the unwelcome appearance of Barclay, who suddenly showed up to confront her. With Whitney not around, she felt cornered and alone. Barclay rambled on, making no sense, and eventually dragged her to the balcony directly opposite the door. He insulted her while getting uncomfortably close.

Now, he was spouting complete nonsense.

She looked up, startled and coldly said, "What the hell are you talking about? What does my pregnancy have to do with you? What do you mean, 'our child'?"

Her voice was low, choked with emotion. She wanted to say more, but Barclay disgustingly pulled her into his embrace, silencing her protests.

She tried to struggle, but Barclay held her head down firmly.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Parker at the door. Endora had timed it perfectly!

It was his cue to act.

Barclay sneered, tightening his grip around Tiana's waist, pretending to caress her while raising his voice, "Tiana, why didn't you resist when we were together, huh? You're carrying our child now; stop pretending we're strangers."

"Who's having your child... Get lost, ugh..." Tiana, losing her temper, fought Barclay fiercely.

Barclay's arm caught her bite, and in response, he pushed her hard.

Tiana was thrown back, right towards the balcony's glass door, with the railing hitting her waist sharply.

"Ah!" She crashed into it.

At that moment, despite not having decided whether she wanted the child, she instinctively covered her abdomen.

Her face turned pale!

However, instead of the anticipated pain, she fell against a solid, muscular body. The man's tall and lean figure held her, almost crushing her shoulders, yet his palms burned her skin with their heat. The familiar scent in his breath was intoxicating...

Tiana's mind exploded with realization, and she turned around in panic-

Suddenly, she saw Parker's expressionless face, his sharp features framed by glasses that hid his eyes, only reflecting a cold light.

She shivered, instinctively murmuring, "Parker?"
