“Matt, could you head downstairs and wait for me? I need a moment alone with Willow,” Wilhelmina
proposed.
Matthew wasn’t entirely certain what Wilhelmina intended to discuss with Willow. But he knew he had
so he didn’t protest her request.

“I’ll go wait for you downstairs, Willa. I hope you won’t dwell on this,” Matthew replied.
As Wilhelmina’s hand trembled, her heart sank even further. To him, her longing for commitment seemed nothing more than stubbornness.

It was a bitter pill to swallow: when a man loved you, he would promise you the world. But when his affections strayed, he would become nothing more than a jerk.
Clenching her trembling fingers, Wilhelmina watched Matthew go downstairs, then slowly made her way
toward Willow.
Willow’s stomach was hurting badly, and she was relieved to see Matthew leave. She didn’t want to waste
time talking to Wilhelmina.
The space was large, and there was more than one staircase. With Wilhelmina blocking her path, Willow
decided she could take the back stairs to leave.
Before Willow could turn away, Wilhelmina grabbed her wrist tightly. “Willow, I need a word with you.”
“Wilhelmina, let go. There’s no need to waste your breath because I have zero interest in Matthew. Spare
me the paranoia. I’ve never tried to steal your man.”
Willow tried to shake off Wilhelmina’s grip, but the pain in her stomach was too much, sapping her
strength.
“Willow, you say you’re not trying to steal Matt from me, but your actions are still ruining our relationship!”
Wilhelmina, fearing her hysterics might carry downstairs and tarnish her angelic image in Matthew’s eyes, quickly lowered her voice. “You know what ticks me off about you, Willow? It’s your high–and–mighty
attitude!
“Who do you think you are? You’re just some discarded refuse from a man’s past. What makes you think you can compete with me for a man?
“You couldn’t take Skyler’s man, so don’t even think about mine!”
Willow felt Wilhelmina’s behavior was beyond frustrating and responded coldly, “Wilhelmina, I never had any interest in your man. I just hope you can keep him away from me.”
Wilhelmina seethed with anger. The man Wilhelmina adored like a god had been dismissed by Willow
completely.
Yet, Wilhelmina had to keep a wary eye on Willow, as she was afraid that any slip would result in her man falling completely under Willow’s spell. But the truth was, Matthew was already enchanted by Willow.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be causing Wilhelmina such agony and despair.

Suddenly, Wilhelmina yanked her hand from Willow’s grasp and sank to her knees. “Willow, I’m over two months pregnant. I’m begging you. Please stop getting involved with Matt. Let my child’s father go!”
Caught off guard, Willow was unsure what to make of Wilhelmina’s theatrics. But theatrics aside, Willow didn’t have time for this nonsense.
Her legs wobbled, and the back stairs were too far. With her hand no longer in Wilhelmina’s grip, she could take the nearest stairs.

As Willow reached the staircase, Wilhelmina sprang to her feet, threw herself backward, and tumbled
down the steps.
Willow hadn’t seen that coming. This cheap attempt at framing her was something she didn’t want to entertain. She reached out to try and catch her, but Wilhelmina fell too fast for her to grab hold of her.
