A woman believes she has found lasting love with her mafia fiancé, until his betrayal shatters everything she was promised. As the truth about his other relationship comes to light, she must decide whether to fight for a love that was never really hers or walk away from the dangerous world he rules.
I walked to the study window on the second floor just in time to watch the scene unfold Jax furiously shook off Scarlet's hand. Are you out of your fucking mind? I warned you never to come here!
If Aurora finds out, I will skin you alive. I know I shouldn't be here, but I'm pregnant. The doctor said we were too rough. The baby isn't stable.
I'm so scared, Jax. Is our baby gonna be okay? This is your first child. My whole body froze.
It felt like a giant, invisible hand had just crushed my heart. I couldn't breathe. Scarlet, was pregnant? When we first got married, we talked about having kids.
Jax told me children would be a weakness, and he only wanted to give all his love to Back then, I was so moot by his devotion. Now I finally understood. He didn't not want kids.
He just didn't want me to have them. The fury in his eyes twisted into a dark, complex ecstasy. Nine weeks? We do need to be careful.
Go wait in the car. I'll take you to the best private hospital right now. Nobody's gonna let anything happen to my kid. Scarlet finally smiled through her tears, standing on her tiptoes to kiss him.
I calmly walked downstairs and sat back down at the dining table. At that moment, I actually felt a sick wave of relief.
