Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 900 Fine, I'm letting go

Raymond froze, Alex's eyes went wide, and Selena, well, she was the picture of calm.

But those words hit her like a truck, making her sit up straight, chest tight.

It felt like all the air got sucked outta the room, and her breathing got all loud and ragged.

Humiliation washed over her, like she'd been slapped silly.

She came here 'cause Raymond was all about Brenda, the criminal, but she forgot Raymond had already hooked up with Brenda, and now Brenda's knocked up. In the future, they'd be one big happy family. And Selena? She was just a footnote.

Selena found it kinda funny and grabbed her bag to bounce, but then Alex piped up, "It's only been a week. How do you even know you're pregnant?" At this stage, it shouldn't even be a thing.

Brenda had her answer ready. "My period's late, and I took a test."

She shot a glance at Raymond and quickly looked down. "Mr. Montague, if you don't want the baby, I'll get rid of it."

That last line stuck in Selena's head like a bad song, making her shoulders sag. She'd been forced to abort before.

She didn't know what to do; she just wanted out.

Seeing Selena get up, Raymond blurted, "I don't want this baby. Get rid of it."

started bawling on the floor, "Mr. Montague, an abortion's really rough on women. Can I keep the baby? I swear, I won't use it to trap you into marriage." Raymond felt a headache coming on and saw Selena trying to walk past him.
