Perhaps that’s why I continued taking the birth control.
A huge merger and market challenges kept Adam busy for a year until one day he made a comment that hurt.
“There must be something wrong with you.I’m incredibly disappointed.I expected a child from this marriage.”
“Adam, wait.That’s not fai—”
He walked out of the room, and I knew in that moment his patience had run out.I tossed my pills that night and knew if I wanted to keep my husband, I needed to get pregnant.
Little did I know, the worst was yet to come.
CHAPTER FIVE
ZANDER
––––––––
“I’m not sure if I’vetraveled back in time or through a portal.”I lift my ankle onto my knee, sip the Macallan whisky, then grin at my friends.
Colt strides in with a fresh bottle as Sebastian, Mason, and Drew get comfortable on the other parts of the sofa.Neckties are loosened, shirt sleeves rolled up, and smirks flit around the familiar room at the Obsidian Club.
The only thing missing is the half-naked women.
Our lives have changed.Correction, my friends’ lives have changed; I’m still seeking a willing victim to spend a few hours with.Which I intend to do when these clowns go home.
“God, it’s been months.”Mason glances around.“Can’t believe we used to spend our lives here.”
“It wasn’t our lives.It was once or twice a week,” I scoff.
“I spent my life here.”Colt says.“Now I’m in the Manhattan office the majority of the time.Especially with Riley due any day.”
Fair enough.However, I bet she doesn’t like him being at the club, regardless.
I laugh.“Or you’d get your nuts smashed.”
“Bullshit.Riley is more secure than that; it’s about me respecting her.”Colt defends, but I’m not buying it.
