Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 970

"You never gave me hope, did you? Guess it just means we were never meant to be, fate's too thin between us. And this child... could've been a boy, but now he's just a casualty of us. Blame me for being heartless, I'll wear that badge.

You can't forgive me, fine.

But losing him, that's on you too."

Parker's grip on her wrist went slack, his arm dropping limply to his side.

He glared at her tear-stained face, anger and sorrow churning in his eyes, his heart aching so badly he could hardly breathe. He gasped for air, his lips pressed thin and white as paper. What a sick joke.

Fate playing tricks on him, erasing his memories on Saltland Island, and now this woman taking away his child.

"Could've been a boy, huh, funny..." Parker sneered coldly at Tiana, his heart shattered, his fingers tightening around her jaw, "How could you do it!

Tiana, how could you abort our child? Do you hate me that much?

Everything with Endora, I could've explained.

I asked you over and over if the child was conceived on Saltland Island.

You kept denying it, saying it was Barclay's... If you chose to hide it, why confess now?

I get it, you never wanted to marry me. Every time there was a glimmer of hope, you precisely cut it away. Does playing me make you feel good?"

Tiana shook her head in despair, "Parker! I know it's hard for you, but I told you now so you wouldn't have to find out later, to make it even worse. I wanted you to have all the facts, to decide if you could still accept me. Losing our child hurt me too, more than you'll ever know."

"I'll never understand, because you chose to end it!
