Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 1075

"I can't accept this! Why should I?" Whitney cried out, feeling like a wounded

animal, her defenses shattered. Tears welled up in her eyes. "Did anyone bother to tell me what was going on? No!

You say Florence's child is mine.

You say I was pregnant, but did I know then?

When my so-called genes made it into the world, I had no clue!

I don't even know how it ended up in Florence's belly!

Or maybe, you're just lying to me again now?!

Ludwik, for an entire year, you had so many chances to tell me, to come clean,

but you played me for a fool the whole time. I hate you!

There's no way I can accept a child born from Florence."

She shook her head wildly, losing grip on reality, clutching her head. "What does this have to do with me?! Why should I believe you?"

Tears streamed down her beautiful face as Whitney felt her heart breaking and a sharp pain pounding in her head. She was being forced to accept a harsh truth, an unfamiliar child!

"Sweetheart, it's all my fault, please don't cry." Ludwik was filled with deep regret as he watched her agony unfold. He cupped her cold, damp chin in his large hands, his voice hoarse. "Let me tell you everything, starting from when you got pregnant, okay?

I made a mistake by hiding it from the start, and it just snowballed from there. My selfishness took over.
