Chapter 290: You Don’t Know?
Roman
I hadn’t expected Savannah to come back. Not to the room. Not to the
bed. Not to me.
The moment I walked out of Reese’s room and shut that door behind
me, something in my chest had already known how the night would
end- alone, awake, and staring at the ceiling while the echo of her
words replayed over and over in my head like a punishment I couldn’t
switch off.
So I didn’t wait for her.
I didn’t even lie down properly. I just sat on the edge of the bed for a
long time, elbows on my knees, hands clasped together, staring at
nothing. At some point, I leaned back against the headboard. At some
point, the darkness outside the windows softened into gray. At some
point, morning arrived.
I never slept. My mind refused to quiet. Every time my thoughts
began to dull, her voice cut through again.

Pick. A. Side. The word felt like a blade pressed slowly against bone.
I still couldn’t believe she had said it. Savannah- my Savannah – the
woman who had stood by me through chaos and pain and everything
in between. The woman who had once looked at me like I was her
home.
How could she think I would choose anyone else? How could she even
ask? After everything we had survived together … after everything we had
lost … after everything we were still trying to protect … she believed I
could abandon her for a memory?
My jaw tightened.
Would we ever just be happy? Would there ever be a moment when
nothing stood between us – no ghosts, no fears, no family politics, no
past that refused to stay buried?
Or was this what we were now? Two people constantly fighting
shadows.
I didn’t understand her jealousy. I truly didn’t. Dahlia wasn’t here. She hadn’t been here for years. Savannah had never met her. Never
spoken to her. Never shared a single moment with hen
Yet somehow she was fighting her. Fighting someone who couldn’t

answer back.
Was it the pregnancy? The hormones? The fear? Was she lashing out
because everything felt unstable and she needed something to push
against?
The question gnawed at me.
Should I have been more patient with her? Should I have stayed calm
when she demanded something I could never promise? Should I have listened instead of reacting? Should I have held her instead of arguing?
For a moment, guilt stirred. Then anger crushed it when I remember
she threatened to walk away.
She threatened to take my child and disappear from my life as if everything we had endured together could be erased with a decision
made in anger.
I nearly died. I nearly lost everything. And this was what she offered
me in return a choice that was never a choice at all.
No. That wasn’t something I could simply excuse away.
I leaned forward, rubbing my face with both hands. My muscles ached from tension. My head throbbed from exhaustion. But beneath the

fatigue was something sharper – something restless and simmering.
A part of me wondered where she had slept. The thought came
uninvited. Had she stayed in Reese’s room after I left?
My chest tightened instantly, instinctive and unwelcome.
No.
I rejected the idea immediately. Savannah might be angry with me,
but she wouldn’t cross that line. She wouldn’t disrespect us like that.
She wouldn’t disrespect herself.
More likely, she had gone with River. The conclusion didn’t comfort
me the way I thought it would. The room felt empty. Even the air felt
different without her presence.
The sound of my phone ringing shattered the silence. I actually
flinched.
