When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

I snapped my eyes open, only to lock gaze with Clyde's impatient expression.

"What's your fainting got to do with me? Didn't we say no contact unless it's serious?" "You only called Rachel on purpose, fearing I wouldn't show up, didn't you?"

Rachel, by his side, kept her head down, her thoughts a mystery.

Lately, the two of them were inseparable, Clyde even driving her to and from work every day.

Now, even my fainting spell had brought them together, looking every bit the perfect couple.

I bet Vinson called him and when Clyde didn't show, he reached out to Rachel.

The doctor eyed him skeptically, "Are you her husband?"

"Ha, if sham marriages count, then I guess I'm her husband in name."

"But let me make it clear, the child she's carrying isn't mine."

Clyde's declaration was so firm it even shocked the doctor.

Fortunately, the doctor had seen it all and quickly regained composure.

"No matter whose child it is, the mom's not doing too well. She needs to rest, and you, as her husband..."

"Why should I care if the child isn't mine?" Clyde's gaze was icy as he looked at me. "Shameless."

I stared back at him, disbelief written all over my face.
