"What's wrong? Do you think she's vulnerable just because she has no one to back her up?" Zane questioned.

Steven quickly responded, "No."

Zane said with a disgusted tone, "It better not be."

He then hung up the phone.

...

I heard Zane's voice and slowly approached him. "Was that Steven on the phone just now?"

Zane had no intention of hiding anything from me. "Yes, after Jessica failed to stir up trouble and got criticized, she probably wasn't happy, so she called him to complain. He believed her."

He wrapped his arm around my waist as he spoke and pulled me to sit on his lap. "He just wants to stand up for Jessica."

I said, disgusted, "Are those two out of their minds?"

"Yeah." Zane gently stroked the back of my hand.

"I don't understand. He always protects Jessica, so where does he get the face to say he loves you?"

I scoffed and said, "I actually think he has no feelings for me. He's probably saying this to soften me and have me serve Jessica during her postpartum recovery." Zane asked, "Is he that outrageous?"

"Pretty much," I answered calmly. "At the time, I had just had a miscarriage and hadn't even been discharged from the hospital, yet he brought Jessica back home. "They even took the master bedroom that was supposed to be mine and had me sleeping in the guest room."
