The walls of Lana's heart shattered, leaving behind a pain that rah deep. Her stomach flipped, and suddenly, she wanted to throw up. Kage's mask fell off, revealing a paled face. His brows were furrowed as he slid his gaze between Lana and Lancelot. "Yup! So, when I learned she was pregnant, I confronted her like a gentleman, wanting to know if the baby was mine. I simply asked her to discuss it with you, but guess what she did?" He took a sip from his drink, then pointed at the stitch in his head. "She shot me in the nead head!" If Lana had to look any paler, she might as well be a ghost. Air abandoned her lungs as she stared fearfully at Lancelot, finding it hard to breath.

sorry it had to come out this way, bro." He stood up. "But I figured you should know since I don't know when next I'll be getting a bullet in the head." Lana shook her head, her eyes drawn to the floor. "He's lying."

"I'm Lancelot pulled a hurt face. "Am I? Do I need to bring up the texts we exchanged after that spectacular night at the hotel?"

"Shut up!" Tears made their way down. She turned to Kage, her lips shaking. "Please, Kage, I promise you, this baby is yours. I'd never have a child for this monster." "Oooh. Now, I'm a monster?

And how could she have slept with Lancelot when they were already making plans for their wedding? Lana tried to go to him, to touch him, but he stepped back, as though her touch would burn him. The coldness in his eyes hurt Lana more than Lancelot's words did.

"Kage, please.. she whimpered. "Don't listen to him."

...

Seconds passed, the saft sound of her cries filling the space.

"Just tell me the truth, Lana," "Kage finally spoke.

She broke into tears, the words too heavy to let Did you sleep with him?"

"Tell me the truth!" He snapped, his eyes reddening around the edges. "Did you f***g sleep with him!?"

for a heartbeat before she replied painfully. "I'm so sorry.""

That was the confirmation. Kage's rage simmered to a boil.

"It was a one-time mistake, Kage. And I swear, this child is yours. Please, please, don't listen to him."

But Kage was done having any of it. He turned around, walking away.
