I shut my eyes. I couldn’t believe he was doing this to me.
“Johnathan,” I rasped. Opening my eyes, I was completely blown away this was going down right then and there. “What are you doing here? How do you know this is where I am?”
“Your parents—”
“You talked to my parents?”
“They didn’t know where you were and had no idea you weren’t in New York. I found out from one of your designers.”
“Ugh, was it Betty? I fired her weeks ago.”
Tearing our attention back to him, Ledger roared, “What the fuck is going on? Is he your fiancé?”
“Ledger…” Surrendering, I raised my arms out in front of me. “You think I’m lying to you?”
“I don’t know what to think.”
“I already told you. We’re not engaged.”
He gestured to Johnathan. “He seems to think otherwise.”
“He’s obviously trying to get a rise out of you, and it didn’t take much for that to happen.”
“Baby—”
“Stop calling me that. You know damn well we’re not engaged anymore. How dare you show up here?”
“You’re my fiancée!”
“Don’t you fucking raise your voice to her,” Ledger threatened.
“Or what?”
Ledger got in his face. “Or I’ll give you something to scream about.”
“Oh shit,” I exclaimed, standing between them. Holding my hands on Ledger’s chest, I moved him back. “You need to calm down and let me deal with him.” Shit really hit the fan when I added, “Alone.”
“The fuck I will.”
Ledger always went from zero to a hundred. He had no middle ground. His expression made me sick to my stomach. I recognized it all too clearly.
Betrayal.
“You brought him back here?” Ledger questioned, “To our home?”
Johnathan asked, “You live here now?”
I turned, glaring at him. “You’re not helping.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t imagine I’d find my fucking fiancée pregnant when she never even told me she was expecting.”
I looked at Ledger again. “I haven’t spoken to him since I found out I was pregnant.”
“It’s because you won’t answer my calls.”
“Fuck him!” Ledger roared again. “What the fuck is he doing here?”
Johnathan roughly grabbed my arm, simply triggering Ledger to react. His protectiveness kicked into overdrive, and he immediately dragged me away from him, securely placing me behind him.
