Chapter 233

Ava’s POV

What do you even say at your best friend’s burial?

I couldn’t form the words, not because of grief, but because my brain was too preoccupied with planning the murder of the said best friend who had put me in this position in the first place.

Because of her, I was now stuck replaying the words that had completely derailed a fraction of my brain for a whole minute.

Twins.

That was another whole human being on top of the one I had just barely wrapped my head around. I had been sure- without a doubt, without hesitation, without a single whisper of uncertainty–that there was only one baby in there.

The entire car ride from the hospital had been silent. Tense. Heavy.

Now, we sat across from each other at a restaurant, untouched plates of food in front of us, the air still thick with everything left unsaid. The restaurant itself was warm, the low hum of conversation surrounding us, but I felt cold. My mind hadn’t stopped spinning since the moment the doctor said twins.

Seven minutes.

That was how long it took before Isabella finally gathered the courage to speak.

“I didn’t put two children in you, Lilian,” She said, her voice careful, testing the waters.

I shot her a glare, gripping my fork tight enough that it might snap. “I told you not to talk to me.”

She huffed and rolled her

“Not another word.”

Yes, “Oh, come on-

A beat of silence and then, “I mean, technically, the father is the one who-”

My hand smacked down on the table, loud enough that a few nearby diners turned to look. Isabella immediately burst into laughter, completely unfazed.

I glared harder.
