“Kneeing me in the balls isn’t going to help us make a baby girl.”
“Baby girl? Do you honestly think I’m going to get back into your bed when I just found you with her again?! You have to be out of your mind! Actually, as soon as I leave here, I’m calling Autumn because I’m filing for divorce, asshole! I don’t care if it’s breach of contact! I dare you to sue me! All I have to say is that you were unfaithful, and the press would eat you alive! So think twice if you want to try me—I won’t hesitate to ruin you.”
He cocked his head to the side, arching an eyebrow. “My Baby Soph has claws. And you said I was the lion.”
“I was wrong—you’re a snake! But at least now you can be with your whore! I’m done with you. For real this time!”
“I am not a whore! Jax, if you won’t tell her, then I will.”
“Evi—”
“I’m his half-sister!”
I didn’t just stumble back, I flew and hit the wall. Instantly seeing the last thirteen years replay in front of my eyes. Except this time…
It was laced with nothing but regret.
—Jax—
Sophie exclaimed, “What?”
I stepped toward her with my hands still out in front of me. She didn’t move. I didn’t even think she was breathing.
“You heard her, but I’ll say it again. She’s my half-sister, Sophie.”
“Oh my God.”
“I know, it’s a lot to take in.”
“Why are you just now telling me this?”
“Hand over the vase, and I’ll tell you everything.”
She gazed down at it before giving it to me.
Needing her to feel my love, I grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward me. She stumbled a bit, catching her footing. With her hand on my chest, I gripped the back of her neck and kissed her senseless.
Holding her face in my hands, I rasped against her lips, “I love you. I’ve always loved you, and I always will.”
“Then why didn’t you tell me the truth?”
“I’m going to give you guys some alone time,” Evie announced. “I’ll be at the hotel bar.”
I nodded, watching her leave. However, at the last second, Sophie spun to look.
She expressed, “I’m so sorry I called you a whore.”
Evie smiled, shrugging. “It’s fine. I can understand what it must look like. I mean, first you catch me in a towel coming out of his bathroom and now this? I’m surprised you didn’t throw the vase at my head instead.”
“I’m not going to lie, I almost did. But I’ve actually seen you three times. The last was when I flew out to tell Jax I was pregnant.”
“Oh no! I’m so sorry.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
“If you did throw the vase at my head, I wouldn’t hold it against you. I’m shocked that you didn’t.” Evie met my eyes. “You know where to find me.” She turned and left.
I didn’t waste any more time, leading Sophie to the couch where Evie and I were just sitting.
