“So what?” Vanessa scoffed, stroking her bump. “He doesn’t even love her. He’s only with her because her family’s loaded. He told me once the baby’s born, he’ll divorce her.”
Her friend frowned. “But what if he’s lying?”
“He’s not. Look at how he treats me. He bought me this ring. It’s worth two grand by the way and, he bought me a condo. A man doesn’t spend that much on woman unless he loves her.” She flashed the diamond like it was her crown jewel.
The friend hesitated. “Still… what if his wife finds out?”
Vanessa laughed, smug and careless. “So what if she does? I’m carrying his son. That’s my ultimate bargaining chip. Men want heir–one from their own blood. He’ll never abandon me or the baby.”
Then she said it—words that almost made me snap right there.
“That old hag he married—she’s been with him three years and hasn’t given him a single offspring. Meanwhile, I get pregnant with a son on the first try. Who do you think he’ll choose?”
Old hag? That little bitch really has the nerve to call me that. I nearly walked over and slapped her. However, I clenched my fists, forcing myself to stay put and listen.
