Mistaken Marriage, Unexpected Love

It took her a couple of seconds to put the pieces together, and she gasped and glared at Camila.

“You said that on purpose!”

But Camila ignored her and strode straight into the hospital.

Debora racked her brains for a solution. She couldn’t afford to lose Ryder.

ALL of her plans hinged on him. He was a key player.

“Ryder, it’s not what you think. Forget about what Camila said, she can’t be trusted. She killed our baby-“

“Stop it!” Ryder grabbed her wrist in a grip so tight that she began to fear he would break her bones.

“Ouch,” she whimpered, her face twisting in pain.

“It hurts.”

But Ryder didn’t let her go. If anything, he applied even more pressure.

“I heard everything. I was right here when you told her that you didn’t want a baby. You lied to me, and you’re doing it again! Why? Am I not treating you well enough? Why would you do this to me? Why didn’t you even spare my child?”

Debora shook her head frantically.

“No, no, it wasn’t my fault! It really wasn’t me! It’s Camila. Blame her!”

As things stood, there was nothing much she could do except to deny her culpability.

“Listen, I swear it! Okay? I’ll swear that if I’m lying, I will be struck by Lightning and tortured to death!” Her eyes flashed wildly as she held up her free hand to make a vow, hoping that it would somehow convince Ryder.

But he didn’t want to Listen to her anymore.

How could he, after all that he had just heard? He was livid.

“Come with me.” He dragged Debora toward his car.

“I wish you would trust me, Ryder,” Debora said, bursting into tears.

“Please…” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Ryder had always melted every time she cried.

Not this time, though.

He pushed her bodily into the vehicle.

Inside the hospital, Camila’s head was throbbing.
