look. Save that for someone who’ll fall for it.”
Bianca started rubbing her swollen stomach, as if to
soothe the baby. I had to remind myself that she was
pregnant, and I had to rein in my psychotic side.
“I didn’t want to come between you and Maddox. That
wasn’t my intention,” she murmured, biting on her lips.
But she did. Except, I couldn’t fault her, really.
I rolled my eyes, looking indifferent. But every cell
inside me was raging, hurting, breaking. “Why didn’t you
tell Maddox when you found out you were pregnant? Why
wait until you were six months along?”
“I was… worried and scared. I didn’t know…”
“But you had to tell him the moment our relationship
became public,” I seethed.
“No,” she stuttered. What a fucking liar. “I talked to
Maddox. I told him you guys didn’t have to break up. We
can make it work…”
I raised my hand, halting her words. “I don’t need you to
speak to Maddox for me. Maddox and I have been friends,
way longer than you’ve known him. I know him better than
anyone else, and he knows me better than he knows
himself. If we want to figure this out, we will. We don’t
need you to play mediator.”
Bianca nodded, looking teary eyed.
“Anything else?”
Her gaze flitted past my head, and she avoided looking
at my face. She chewed on her lip, before whispering,
“Maddox and his parents are going back to Manhattan.
Brad wants to be in the comfort of his own home.”

Oh my God.
I stumbled back against the table, my knees growing
weak. He was leaving. Maddox was leaving, and I didn’t
know…
My lips parted with a silent cry, and my fists clenched.
