Pregnant I left him To His First Love by Collins Patrick

Chapter 81

Just as Leila planned, Tatum's back barely touches the bed before he falls asleep, he had already been dozing off in the car on their way back home. Leila lies, cradled in Tatum's arm for a while but her eyes are wide open, her heart racing with many emotions, her mind clouded with a plethora of thoughts.

She feels comforted being next to Tatum and she would not trade this life for anything else but tonight she drugged him, even if it is for the greater good, she cannot shake off the guilt that is slowly and painfully clawing at her heart. When she feels Tatum is deeply asleep, she carefully wriggles free from his arms and waves her fingers across his face and Tatum feels it but he doesn't move.

He has never been asleep, although a tad bit drowsy from the effect of the drug.

Right now, he can hear the sound of Leila's heart beating fervently like a drum whose drummer has the intention of beating it till it rips apart.

What is she up to?

He watches with a broken heart as she changes from her gown into a pair of Jean and hoodie, trying his best to keep his eyes as squinted as possible not to let her know he can see her. Where is she going? Is she sneaking out to meet someone?

Is it Kelvin?
