Chapter 15

Lennox

Rialta is pregnant with Kit’s baby.

But she doesn’t want to be with him—she wants to be with Andrea.

And me? I’m pretty sure she still wants me dead, although I don’t understand why.

I hold her gaze, completely confused by this woman. I don’t know what to believe anymore. I don’t know who she is, what game she’s playing, or whose side she’s on.

I don’t know who she loves. It feels like she’s playing all three of us, but why? For what purpose?

I tilt my head toward the door, hoping to have this conversation in private. She frowns and snuggles into Kit harder, refusing to leave his side.

I roll my eyes. “Follow me, or I’ll make sure Kit is awake while you tell me you don’t want him to raise his own child.”

She glares. “You wouldn’t.”

I growl, and Kit twitches at the sound, beginning to stir.

She strokes his cheek until he’s gently snoring again and then eases off the bed, following me back into the living room.

“Happy? I promised him I’d stay, but I leave after five minutes.”

“Kit will live. You have some explaining to do.” I stare at her. I study her belly for any sign of swelling, but I see nothing. My eyes drag up her body to her breasts, but they, too, don’t seem any bigger. There is no outward sign of her pregnancy except for the morning sickness.

I think back to Ri’s pregnancy and realize it took several months for her belly to begin to show. Rialta can’t be very far along.

I cross my arms, my eyes darkening. “Explain yourself.”

“There is nothing to explain. I’m free to make any decision I want.”

My eyebrows shoot up. “I will support your decisions, but you’re still my wife. If I’m going to give you up, then you need to explain to me why. You need to explain everything to me.”

“I owe you nothing.”

I huff, grabbing her wrist and yanking her to me until her body is flush against mine—face to face.

“You owe me everything, my wife. You have no reason to hate me anymore. I didn’t kill your baby daddy. And I’ll let you choose who you spend the rest of your life with—whether it be me, Kit, Andrea, or some other bastard. But you owe me an explanation. What’s going through that pretty little head of yours?”

“Why?” She grinds her teeth together as she spits back at me.

“Why? Maybe because I’ve saved you numerous times. Maybe because I’m your husband. Maybe because I married you to save our mutual friends. Maybe because I fucking love you, that’s why!”

Her upper lip raises in a snarl as I grip her biceps holding her to me. “Fine. You want to know the truth? The truth is I want Kit safe. I love him. And the only way he has a chance at being safe is if I stay away from him.”

I take a deep breath, prepared for all the sassy snark she’s about to throw my way. Her justifications will flow now, and I’m ready to dispute every single one of them.
