Chapter 154

Leila scoffs, a smile on her lips as she pulls back to look at Carmela in the eyes, her gaze dripping with smugness.

It's obvious Carmela believes she wants Tatum back and thinks the news of the pregnancy is supposed to make her jealous but who cares?

Coming back here, she had a lot of theories in her head, one of them being that they would be a loving family, Tatum, Carmela and one or two pups but Carmela doesn't even live with him.

"Do you know who my new neighbour is?" Leila smirks smugly and Carmela frowns, giving Leila the answer she needs.

"That's right, even if you're pregnant with his child, he still wants to wake up and see me. I'll probably invite him over for dinner one night, you never know what a good meal, a couple glasses of strong wine, a hot dress and the right conversation can lead to?" Leila flicks her brows suggestively, a cocky smirk perfectly etched on her lips.

Carmela clenches her fist, her head turning red in frustration and she sneers at Leila, her chest rising and falling in fury.

"You-" she stamps her feet and storms off in frustrated fury and Leila chuckles.

She knows Carmela's weakness now and she will exploit it at will.

When she returns home, she finds Tatum sleeping on the couch in a sitting position, his head leaned backwards, his hands splayed over the backrest and Amara, also asleep, her body stretched on the couch using Tatums thigh as her pillow.

She wonders, If Tatum knew Amara is his child, will he do right by her? Will he give her what is truly hers?

Why is she even thinking that? He won't. He already stole that right from Amara when she was still in the womb.
