Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 914

Tiana fought back tears as she spoke softly, "Parker, do you have any idea what Endora did to my dad? I guess it's no surprise to you. To someone you despise so much, our little family must seem like ants, easily crushed beneath your feet.

But, really, you're being heartless!

Whatever Endora did to my dad, I'm holding you both accountable."

"What are you talking about?" Parker frowned, a cold glint in his eyes.

To Tiana, his reaction seemed evasive. Even if he didn't know, his coddling of Endora was like giving her a free pass to torment others.

"Congratulations on your cozy little wedding," she said slowly, her voice dripping with sarcasm, as she forcefully pulled away from his grasp and attempted to leave.

Parker grabbed her again, his dark, narrow eyes unreadable as he tightened his grip on her arm and asked coldly, "You just mentioned that we slept together. Did it happen on Saltland Island?"

Tiana's expression shifted, but was quickly covered by a layer of despair. She didn't deny it.

Parker's icy gaze slowly moved to her abdomen, and he asked hoarsely, "And this child..." "Sleeping together doesn't mean I'd get pregnant. By then, I was already carrying Barclay's..."

"Get out!" Parker pushed her away, as if disgusted by another touch.

He closed his eyes, the thought of her being pregnant with another man's child while they were together made him feel sick.

His hands felt as cold as iron, trembling slightly. He wiped his hands clean with a wet wipe, determinedly walking back into the hospital room.

Seeing his unflinching cold glare, Tiana finally lowered her eyes, her heart dying alongside his indifference.

He was all about Endora, defending her to no end. He was an accomplice to my dad's imprisonment.

The child in my belly has nothing to do with him anymore!

Upon returning to the hospital room, Parker seemed drained, as if he had lost all his strength. Endora, noticing the dark circles under his eyes, guessed he had argued with Tiana outside. Tiana's provocative words hit Parker hard.
