“And?” he asks, raising a brow.

I lift my bottle of water to my lips and take a sip. She looks over his shoulder to me before she tells him, “It’s yours.” Her hands drop to her sides. “Remember that night? Well, now I’m pregnant. You do get how it works, right?”

I spit out my drink, and Grayson looks back at me with his brows pinched.

“You put her up to this?” he asks me.

“Ha! Hell no. But looks like you’ll be a daddy. Yay for you.”

Three girls smile and wave as they head inside the club.

“What is this place?” Destiny asks him.

“It’s a whorehouse. Maybe you should work here.”

My eyes bulge at his words.

He is such an asshole.

One that makes me want to laugh that is.

“That’s how you are going to treat your future baby’s mother?” Her head starts to shake.

“You are my nothing.”

“I’m not lying,” she insists, her tone growing more high-pitched.

“I have no doubt,” he replies, confusing not only her but me too.

“But you’re saying it’s not yours? I’m not a whore. You are the only man I’ve slept with recently.”

Grayson steps back so he is closer to me, leaning his elbow on the desk, as he says to her, “You must be a whore if you can’t remember.”

“I remember everything.” She stands a little straighter. “I even found out that it was you who got me kicked out of my house.”

“What?” I ask, joining in the conversation. Destiny turns to me, but Grayson stays where he is.

“Oh, so you didn’t tell her.” She smiles. “It seems your boss here bought the house and then kicked me out.”

“You what?” My gaze whips to Grayson, who is still not looking my way. “Grayson, so help me God, you better answer me before I decide I should come in very fucking late every fucking day.”

I hear him suck in a breath, and then he turns to face me. “What?”

“You bought the house?” I ask.

“She needed to go,” he says simply, adding a shrug.

Destiny scoffs but otherwise stays quiet.

“You own my house?” I ask him again. “The one I am living in? Is that why the rent hasn’t increased now since it’s just me?” My voice is firm, but on the inside I’m freaking the fuck out.

What does this mean?

Why would he do that?

“I can afford it.”

“I’m sure you can.” I give him an eye roll and look at Destiny. “Why are you still here?”
