“What the hell? She never told me that.”
“You’re a private person, Ledger. You always have been. The last thing you want is your mom involving herself—”
“I wish she had. It may have helped.”
He rounded his desk to stand in front of me. Placing his hand on my shoulder, he squeezed it in a reassuring action.
“Maybe she is now.” With that, he spun and left.
I didn’t know how long I stayed there until my pissed-off composure moved in autopilot. One minute, I stood in the office arguing with my father over his choices with the ranch, and the next, I was in front of Hazel.
I couldn’t help but take her in. Haven was right. She was fucking gorgeous, wearing a black pantsuit with a small-ass top. Once again, leaving very little to the imagination with her fuck-me heels.
Did she own any clothes that covered her?
Shaking off the thought, I spewed, “Why are you here, Hazel? What else do you need from our ranch that you haven’t already tried to take?”
She stumbled back like I slapped her.
In one breath, she coaxed, “We need to talk.”
I didn’t back down.
Already over her bullshit.
“Whatever you need to say, you can do it in front of my family.”
Her hands fisted at her sides, and I snidely smiled in satisfaction.
“Fine!” she shouted, quickly furious. “Have it your way.”
For the second time in just a couple of minutes, I was almost knocked on my ass when she informed…
“I’m pregnant with your baby!”

Aloud, collective gasp echoed off the walls around us. I didn’t have time to consider her announcement before her brother suddenly stood beside us.
“What the fu—”
I bit, “Not. Now. Chance.”
His gaze flew from me to her. “You want to explain this to me, Hazel?”
“Chance,” I warned. “Not. Now.”
“When the hell were you guys toget—”
Running on pure adrenaline, I ignored him and grabbed her hand, dragging her to my old bedroom that my father kept intact.
On our way up the stairs, Chance yelled, “This isn’t over!”
At that moment, I didn’t give a shit about Chance.
All that mattered was her and the truth.
