As soon as the door closed, Mia slapped me. She took me by surprise, nearly knocking me off my feet. I broke my fall by bracing against the side of the couch. My gut reaction was to hit her back, but I couldn’t hit a pregnant woman. Mia didn’t seem to have any problem hitting me, but I was not going to sink to her level.

“This isn’t the time or place to do this, Mia.”

“And where is the appropriate place? It doesn’t matter. You’re never leaving this country.”

I laughed. “Oh, really? You think you can keep me here? What will Nate have to say about that?”

“Nate doesn’t know what’s good for him. If he did, he wouldn’t waste his time fucking around with you.”

“I could say the same thing about you.”

Mia flicked her hand at me like an aristocrat dismissing a servant. Did she think that was enough to shut me up?

“You’ve lost control, Mia. This isn’t going to end the way you want it to.”

Mia ignored me and stormed past into the hallway. Shutting herself up in a room until Nate came back was fine with me, except that’s not what she did. She went into Jackson’s room.

I followed behind quickly. I gripped the needle in my hand tightly.

Mia was inside pulling at the headboard, trying to break it. She didn’t have a key to Jackson’s handcuffs. Her only choice was to break the bed.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

She grunted as she pulled, but the bed was solid. The only way Mia was going to take it apart is if she had tools to dismantle it. Not that that stopped her from kicking and punching the headboard like a crazy person.

Jackson watched with a look of patience on his face. He made no move to help her dismantle the bed.

“Babe, give it up,” he said.

Mia kicked the bed hard and grabbed her foot. I couldn’t help laughing.

“It’s not funny.”

She came at me quickly. I dodged out of the way.

“Mia!” Jackson called.

She stopped in her tracks.

“Leave the girl alone,” he said. “She’s not important. The only thing that matters is us.”

Mia’s face softened. I wished Nate was here to listen to this.

“You know she told Nate that your baby was his,” I said to Jackson.

I wanted to spoil their touching moment. He shot her a sharp look, but didn’t say anything. Mia shrugged as if what I’d said was irrelevant, but there was an edge to her voice when she spoke. She was nervous.

“It was just a matter of convenience,” she said. “I wanted to wait until we were settled. Until you were finished with your work and you could send for me. I would have dumped Nate eventually. You know that.”

She sat down on the edge of the bed and started to rub Jackson’s thigh.

“Please tell me you’re not stupid enough to believe this?” I said.

Jackson glared at me out of the corner of his eye. Clearly, he wanted to believe what Mia was saying, regardless of the fact it was bullshit.
