Alden stood at bAllen’s /bbedside, his stomach bchurning /bwith a sickening bmix /bof banger /band shame.

Zane frowned, bhis /bvoice lowb. /b“What’s wrongb? /b

b“/bbWho /bwas that on the phone?”

Alden let out a heavy bsigh/bb, /bthe weight of it bcrushing/bb. /bb“/bbIt /bwas Luna. She’s bin /ba room upstairs. She says bshe’s /bpregnant.”

Zane’s eyes widened bin /bshock.

Kaia raised an eyebrowb, /bher blips /bbtwitching /bwith dark amusement. Luna was bnothing /bbif /bnot tenaciousb. /b

Kaia leaned back binto /bbLucien’s /bbembrace/b, bher /barms crossed, a quiet storm bbrewing /bbin /bbher /bchest.

Lucien’s voice dripped bwith /bsarcasmb. /bb“/bbWhat/bb, /byou’re not seriously thinking of biming /bthat kidb, /bbare /byou?”

Allenb, /boverhearingb, /byanked off his boxygen /bmask, his finger jabbing toward Alden with trembling fury. b“/bI won’t acknowledge bthat /bchild! If byou /bwant bto/bb, /bbgo /bright aheadb, /bbut don’t byou /bdare

Alden’s face darkened, his voice low and strained. “I’m bgoing /bup to see her.”

Allen waved bhim /boff dismissivelyb. /b“Zaneb, /bbyou /bball /bhead home. Lucien’s here–that’s enoughb. /bKaia, byou /bgo rest too. You barely sleptst bnight/b.”

Right nowb, /bAllen could bonly /bbstomach /bthe sight of bhis /byoungest

Having no kids was one bthing/bb, /bbut bbringing /ba bastard in and expecting bthe /bGraves bfamily /bto raise bit/b? bUnthinkable/b.

The scandal bhit /bbAllen /bhard.

He’d always protected his bfamily’s /breputation fiercelyb, /bkeeping their private matters bout /bof the public eye. If this news leaked, it would be a media bcircus/b.

Lucien shot Zane a pointed look. Zane sighed, relentingb, /b“Alrightb, /bDad, rest up. Lucienb, /bcall me bif /bbanything /bhappens.

“Kaiab, /byou’ve been through a lot. Why don’t youe back with

me?”

Kaia shook her head gently. “Thanks, Zane, but I’ll stay at the hospital for a bit.”

Allen let bout /ba weary bsigh/bb, /bbhalf/b–exasperated.

Kaia bit back a smile, equally bemused.

Allen suddenly regretted bhis /bearlier thoughts. If bhe /bcould, he’d kick Lucien bout /bbof /bthe hospital too.

Alden pushed open the door to Luna’s roomb. /bHer eyes lit up the moment bshe /bsaw bhim/bb, /bas bif /bbhe /bwere bher /b/divst blifeline/b.

“Aldenb, /bbyou /bcame,” she whispered, bher /bvoice btrembling /bwith hope.

She reached for his handb, /bdesperate, but he jerked away, his face hard with revulsion.

Right nowb, /bAlden couldn’t stand being in the same room bwith /bher.

If they weren’t still legally married, if she wasn’t carrying a child, he wouldn’t have bothereding up at all.

“What else do you have to say?” he snapped. “I said everything bI /bneeded to at the manorb./bb” /b

Luna’s tears spilled over, her voice breaking with remorse. “Alden, I know I messed up. But don’t you think you also bear some responsibility for my mistakes?

“When Uncle Lucien kicked me out of the country, I was all alone abroad. You barely checked on me. I made a mistake any woman might make. I never meant to get pregnant…

“When I found out, I was terrified. I didn’t know bhow /bto face it. But Alden, you grew colder and colder, so I thought the child might win back your love.

“I swear, Alden, it was just that one time. I never strayed again!”

Alden let out a bitterughb, /bhis voice sharp with disdain. “So you are telling me that somehow I’m the one to me?

“My parents raised you like their ownb. /bDid you think about how they’d feel when byou /bcheated?

“You’ve lived a life of luxury on my family’s dime all these years. Is this how you repay them?

“You were the one who begged for this marriage, weren’t you? And now after all that, you have the nerve to cheat and act like byou’re /bthe victimb?/bb” /b

Alden towered over bher/bb, /bbstaring /bdown at Luna as she sobbed, her face a mess of tears. Onceb, /bhe’d loved her fiercelyb; /bnowb, /bbthat /blove had curdled into disgust.

“Get rid of the child. I won’t acknowledge it–neither will the Graves bfamily/b.

“Tomorrowb, /bbmy /bwyer will bbring /bthe divorce papers. bWe’re /bdone.”

Luna’s world crumbled, despair swallowing her whole.
