“Not until you see this.” I grabbed the papers I had
brought with me, pushing them toward him.
Maddox snatched the papers from my hand and
glowered at the documents. “What is this?”
“Bianca… she’s lying.”
His brows furrowed. For a long time, I had a nagging
feeling in my chest about Bianca and her pregnancy. At
first, I told myself I was distrustful of her because I had
been jealous.
But then the feeling grew, until I couldn’t deny it any
longer.
So, Riley and I did some digging. Hospital records,

“The baby would have been premature, right?” I slowly
questioned, watching for his reaction.
“He wasn’t.” It was a boy. This baby would have been
Maddox’s son…
Maddox confirmed what I already knew. It wasn’t
surprising, since Bianca was officially a week overdue. She
was farther along than what she had told us.
“You’re not the father,” I said.
Maddox handed me back the papers. His face was
impassive, for a mere second, before he pulled out a pack
of cigarettes from his pocket. He put one between his lips,
without lighting up the end. Maddox leaned against the
wall, rubbing his thumb across his jaw.
I watched him… finally noticing his lack of reaction to
the news.
“You knew,” I accused, my voice hardening.
He let out a dry, humorless laugh. “Bingo, Sweet
Cheeks.”
My eyes fell on the papers in my hands, before finally
meeting his again. “I don’t understand.”
