Alexander’s words were like a slap across the fucking face.

“Our contract said we would never have children,” he said curtly. Then, without another word, he turned and walked into the bathroom.

Not “I don’t want children” or “I’m not ready” or even “we should wait.” No, Alexander had immediately

fallen back on that damned contract.

I stared at him as he disappeared into the bathroom, the sound of running water filling the silence he’d left behind. My hand drifted to my stomach again, covering the tiny life growing there that Alexander clearly had no interest in knowing about.

Of course he wouldn’t want a baby. Why had I even entertained the possibility that he might? The contract

we’d signed five years ago had explicitly stated that he would never have children with me.

We had already broken the contract’s stipulations by sleeping together once, and he wasn’t going to make a

second mistake.

I was such an idiot for thinking that our night together had meant anything to him. For believing that maybe, just maybe, he might have developed some feelings for me over the years and that I was wrong

about his intentions.

to endure until he could find a way to legally discard me.

And now I was carrying his child, a child he would never want.

A child he would never know about.
