Austin held the picture of him and Farrah in his hand. He hadn't seen her in a month. Every moment since the day he had last seen her, there had been things he wanted to tell her. He still loved her. He never meant to hurt the woman he used to hold in his arms at night. He reminisced about their perfect day out on the lake together.

He looked up to see Rebecca staring at him. "What do you want?" he asked.

"I was thinking we should sleep in the same bed together." She walked over to him, sitting down on his desk, showing off her slender figure in barely visible lingerie.

"Rebecca, I don't love you. Loving someone and being in love with someone are two different things. I'm not in love with you," he said truthfully.

"We're having a baby in eight months." Rebecca ran her finger up and down Austin's chest.

I wish it was Farrah's belly swelling with my seed. "Goodnight," Austin said as he moved away from

Rebecca.

Rebecca stood up and marched away, but not before Austin's words caused her to stop dead in her tracks.

"When is your doctor appointment?" Austin asked.

"In a few weeks," she stuttered.

"Let Megan know the appointment date, so I can rearrange my schedule," Austin said as he watched Rebecca retreat back upstairs.

Since he'd allowed Rebecca back in his life, they slept in different bedrooms. He knew where his heart was. He looked at the photo of Farrah on his desk holding the trout she'd caught at Lake Lewisville and hoped that one day she could forgive him. He knew that she didn't want anything to do with him. She had signed the confidentiality agreement without batting an eye. But she also sent Travis back with the five million dollar check.

Austin had this sneaking suspicion that Rebecca was responsible for outing his affair with Farrah. It was awfully convenient that his relationship with Farrah hit the tabloids when the engagement was called off. Picking up the phone, he dialed Farrah's home phone. An automated voice switched on, telling him the number was no longer in service, so he called her cell phone.

"Hello," a familiar voice said.

"Shane?" Austin looked at the phone to make sure he'd dialed the right number.

"What's up, country singer?"

"Why are you answering Farrah's cell phone? Where is she? Is she okay?" he rambled off questions as he looked for his boots.

"I'm taking her somewhere safe."

"Why doesn't she feel safe at her house?"

"Since you've been gone, she has been feeling the brunt of the scandal. Her house has been broken into twice, not to mention her restaurant being vandalized numerous times. Farrah is not the same. She is letting all this shit fuck with her health."

"Where are you taking her?" Austin was already putting on his boots and looking for his truck keys.

"Home."

Austin stopped in his tracks. "You're not taking her to your house."

"Yes," Shane said and hung up.

"Shit!" Austin cursed as he walked out of his office, meeting Rebecca's eyes as she watched him like a hawk.
