The pregnancy test report crumpled in my fist.I stood rooted in place,the pounding of my heart louder than any scream.
So this was it.Everything I believed—our marriage,our future,our love—was a calculated lie.And worse...he let another man touch me.
The door swung open.Lennon stood there,momentarily stunned.A flicker of panic crossed his face.
"Edith?What are you doing here?"he asked quickly."Come in."
I looked down,forced a gentle smile and took the prenatal vitamins from his outstretched hand.
"Let’s go home,"I said softly.
Back at the villa,Winona was already waiting by the door—dark sunglasses on,white cane in hand.
As I leaned into the car to grab my purse,I caught a glimpse of Lennon’s hand sliding up her skirt,his fingers brazenly toying with the lace.
Winona let out a giggle and swatted him playfully,no protest in sight.
I stood silently behind them,watching.
This man I had once adored—this man I thought I knew—was a stranger now.
He turned and saw me.There was a beat of hesitation in his expression before he masked it.Winona smoothed her skirt as Lennon gave me a charming,unaffected smile.
