Book4Chapter9
Part 3
Just when I thought things couldn’t get any messier, Chloe dropped the bomb: she
was pregnant.
I was terrified. I wanted to be a father, but not like this. I offered Chloe money, a one–way ticket to Paris, anything to make her disappear. But she refused.
She claimed she wanted nothing more than to give our child a family.
I was trapped.
I couldn’t bring myself to tell Amelia the truth, so I did what I did best: I lied. I made excuses, avoided her, and clung to Chloe’s promises of a fresh start.
Our anniversary dinner was a disaster. I’d planned to tell Amelia everything, to beg for her forgiveness. But Chloe threw a wrench in my plans, faking a fall and accusing me of not caring about her or the baby. I was torn between my guilt and my fear of losing the only family I thought I had left.
I signed the divorce papers with a heavy heart, unable to meet Amelia’s eyes. I told myself I was doing it for the best, that she deserved better than a man who couldn’t even give her a child.
