Pregnant I left him To His First Love by Collins Patrick

Chapter 99

"Tatum I-"

Tatum shakes his head.

"I don't care why you do it, I really do not want to know."

He cares, he cares all too much, he cares and it hurts beyonds words to see the only woman he has ever loved, his wife, his Luna, sneak out behind him and remain in touch with the one man he has repeatedly told her he doesn't want her to have anything with. She even forced him to go and save that man's life.

A searing pain burns Tatum's heart and he smiles bitterly at Leila but he doesn't say anything and they both just stare at each other.

Eyes holding mixed and powerful emotions.
