Smoke didn’t look at me when he crept forward and wrapped his fingers around my forearm. Like last time, he escorted me down the staircase, where this time, Lena was waiting for us at the bottom with a spiteful smirk on her face.
“I’m coming with you,” she said boldly, ignoring my sinister glare. “Damien sent in a blood sample ahead of time to test for paternity. We should have the results today, along with your gender results.”
I looked at Smoke then. He frowned and looked away from me, his throat bobbing.
My mouth fell open.
Oh my God.
He knew.
He knew and he didn’t fucking tell me.
“Youbastard,” I hissed through gritted teeth, jerking away and pounding my fists against his brick-hard chest.
“I’m so sorry,” he whispered. “I’m so fucking sorry.”
I sobbed as he snatched me up by forearm again, then led me out to the car with Lena hot on our heels. He deposited me inside as Lena slid in the front passenger seat. It was quiet for a long time as Smoke drove us to the clinic.
We pulled in, the parking lot yet again emptyexceptfor two other cars, plus Lena’s. Smoke escorted me out as Lena trailed ahead, leaving us behind.
“How could you?” I asked him.
“I didn’t have a choice.”
“Bullshit,” I spat at him. “Be honest… Do you want me to die?” I swallowed hard, my wet blues pleading as I stared up at him. “Do you?”
“I don’t.”
“Thenhelpme.”
He reached both hands up and cradled my face, staring deeply into my eyes. He leaned in and pressed an unexpected kiss to my lips, saying nothing else as he grabbed my arm again and led me toward the clinic.
My head spun, the tears burning hotter when we walked inside. Lena was waiting right beside the same nurse I saw last time, who offered me a pained smile and instructed me to follow her.
“You’re not coming,” I snapped when we reached the door, blocking it so Lena couldn’t pass by me. “I fucking refuse.”
“You don’t have a—”
“Actually, she does,” the nurse spoke up, her skin paling when she took in Lena’s murderous expression. “We have to respectthe patients’ wishes. If she doesn’t want you in there, then you can’t come in.”
“I’ll go with her,” Smoke interjected, which did nothing but piss Lena off even more. “Are you okay with that, Gin?”
“No,” I crossly replied. “This ismyappointment.My fucking baby. MINE.”
“We get it,” Smoke growled, raising his hand to Lena when she opened her mouth, ready to spurt some vile threats that would’ve made me butcher her on the spot. “Do what you have to do, Ginger. We’ll get the results when you’re done.”
He winked at me when I turned away. I ignored it and followed the sweet nurse into the room.
She gently shut the door behind me, then quickly approached me and gripped my shoulders, her body shaking as she spoke in soft whisper.
“Listen to me. We don’t have much time.”
“Wh-what?” I asked, my brows tilting in confusion.
She winced and then pressed a finger to her lips, urging me to remain quiet. “You’re having a girl,” the nurse rushed to say again as she heaved in a painful breath, glancing back at the door with utter terror flashing through her eyes. “The baby isn’t Damien’s.”
My breath caught. The nurse released me long enough to pull some folded documents from her pocket and hand them over to me. “These are the real results. Hide them, burn them, I don’t care. Whatever you do, don’t let them find it.”
