Chapter 4
Damon didn’t hold back at all. My head slammed into the corner of the coffee table.
The pain was so intense that everything went black, and I passed out cold.
I don’t know how long I was out, but voices woke me up.
“Mom, is there something wrong with the pills you’ve been giving Damon? How else could this bitch get pregnant p>
“Thank God I got those photos of her at the hotel the other day, or we never could have covered our tracks p>
“At least Damon still trusts us p>
I cracked my eyes open just a sliver and realized I was in an ambulance.
Sloane had her back to me, whispering with someone in scrubs.
From what she was saying, it had to be her mom.
Suddenly everything clicked into place.
Damon said he’d gotten tested at the biggest hospital in the city, and the chief of urology had done it personally.
That was Cedar-Sinai-where Sloane’s mom worked. She was the chief of urology.
I quickly shut my eyes, terrified they’d realize I was awake.
Sloane’s mom let out a cold laugh, like she couldn’t care less about what Sloane was saying.
“I’ve been giving him those pills disguised as vitamins. He’s probably just been busy with work and forgot to take them sometimes p>
“It’s fine. After this whole mess, Damon will definitely divorce that little bitch. Once you two get married, he won’t need the pills anymore p>
“Those pills were a godsend. They went three years without getting pregnant. Without them, Damon loved her so much he might never have looked twice at you p>
I couldn’t see Sloane’s face, but her voice took on this wheedling tone.
“Ugh, Mom, this is all my fault for going abroad for college. By the time I got back, he was already with that bitch p>
“But thank God I have the best mom in the world. I couldn’t have done this without you p>
“Good thing Damon drove separately to the hospital. We can get our story straight in the ambulance, because we sure can’t discuss this in front
of him p>
The rest was just the two of them whispering about getting me into surgery as fast as possible, no questions asked.
I was terrified, but we weren’t at the hospital yet. A
conscious and try to figure out my next move.

When the ambulance arrived at Cedar-Sinai, Damoi.
The second they wheeled me out, I opened my eyes and grabbed onto his shirt.
Chapter 4
“Damon, I need to talk to you p>
Sloane’s mom’s eyes flashed with something dangerous. She stepped forward and spoke to Damon.
“Damon, the OR is ready p>
“Don’t worry, I’ve got the head of obstetrics doing the procedure personally. She’ll be fine p>
“Everyone’s waiting. Let’s go in p>
Without waiting for Damon to respond, she gestured for the nurses to wheel me into the hospital.
I could see the operating room getting closer and closer, and I still hadn’t found a chance to talk to Damon alone.
I put my hand on my stomach and sat up on the gurney, shouting at the top of my lungs.
“Damon, this is OUR baby! You can’t hurt him p>
“Give me five minutes. I need to talk to you alone p>
“Damon p>
I was so loud that the nurses stopped dead in their tracks right outside the OR.
Damon’s face was like thunder as he walked over to the gurney.
“Whatever you want to say, say it here. The doctors and nurses are all waiting. Don’t waste everyone’s time p>
“And if you’re gonna give me more of that crazy talk about how this baby is mine, don’t bother p>
“Chloe, if you have even an ounce of feeling left for me, you wouldn’t keep insulting me like this p>
I grabbed his sleeve with one hand and pointed at Sloane and her mom with the other.
“It’s them! They did all of this p>
“Damon, let’s go to another hospital. Get tested again. You don’t have azoospermia at all-they’ve been lying to you p>
“This baby really is yours. Please believe me. Please p>
Damon’s brow furrowed, but before he could say anything, Sloane cut him off.
“Chloe, what the hell are you talking about? Your marriage problems have nothing to do with me and my mom. What would we even get out of
this p>
“Besides, you guys went three years without kids, but the second some random guy shows up, you’re pregnant? You think that’s believable p>
“You’re still making excuses, trying to blame me and my mom. Did I force you to sleep with that guy p>
Sloane’s mom stepped forward, looking at me with steely determination.
“Mrs. Carter, making accusations like that has legal consequences p>
“I’m the chief of urology. I’ve been practicing medicine for thirty years with an impeccable record. What you’re suggesting questions my professional integrity p>

Chapter 4
“If Mr. Reed believes what you’re saying, he’s welcome to find another doctor. I won’t be performing this procedure p>
That settled it for Damon. He pried my fingers off him one by one.
I begged him to believe me through my tears, but Damon turned his back on me.
I reached for him again, but just before I could touch him, I heard his voice.
“Take her in for surgery p>
“I don’t want the baby p>
