"Ma'am, it's all my fault. I was delusional and I foolishly tried to get involved with Mr. Cadwell. If you need to hit or punish someone, let it be me. Just ... don't make me abort my child!"
Her twisted words enraged me. I raised my hand to slap her, but the sober Sean grabbed my wrist.
"Nicki, she's pregnant. Don't do anything rash!"
I scoffed repeatedly. "You're still defending her now, really? Sean, it's over between us!"
Sean's face darkened as he kicked Yelena out.
"Nicki, stop it. I was with her because someone drugged me. She's nothing more than a tool for me to vent my desires. You're the one I truly love."
"You're the only one in my heart, always. I don't blame you for the child. Let's go back to being the loving couple we used to be, alright?"
I couldn't help but laugh at his audacity, but I was no longer interested in arguing with him. After all, the plan to fake my death was finally going to be executed tonight. What harm would it do to let him hold on to a shred of hope?
I wiped away my tears and stopped making a scene. I let Sean pull me into his arms.
