Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 926

"Why bother now? With everything that's going on with your dad, I think we can slow down a bit!" Whitney tried to reason, her voice a mix of concern and frustration.

"It's what Barclay wants. I'm worried I won't get the other half of the antidote if I don't," Tiana replied, her eyebrows knitting together as she glanced down at her barely two-month-old belly. It was so flat she could almost convince herself that the embryo had never been there, though just the thought made her heart ache.

Parker, oh Parker, he had made his choice.

Wasn't it obvious how he protected Endora that day in the hospital room?

He was getting married!

There was no reason for her to keep the child on her own.

Besides, getting her father the antidote was the most crucial thing.

Sitting down, Tiana dug her nails into her tangled hair, revealing her thoughts. "The most important thing is, my dad doesn't want me to keep it. He thinks this baby, with its uncertain paternity, is an embarrassment to me and a disgrace to the Doonan family." "Moreover, I plan to ruin Endora at the wedding. I don't want to leave her any chance to hurt me. If the child has to go, I choose to let it leave quietly rather than saying goodbye in a bloody scene at the wedding."

"How do you know something will definitely go wrong at the wedding?" Whitney frowned, "Me, and Ashton, we'll protect you. Tiana, I know you're gathering evidence to expose Endora at the wedding, to get the antidote and tear her apart, but don't rush with the baby." Tiana shook her head with a bitter smile, "Hesitation only leads to chaos, Whitney. I'm afraid if I wait any longer, I won't have the heart to do it. Then what? Am I supposed to give birth to another Cherry? A child without a father's love, lonely and isolated? I can't go through another three years of that, let alone let my dad suffer. I just want to do as he wishes."
