Chapter 160
Drake’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “Or they never existed.”
“They existed,” I said quietly, my hands gripping the edge of a nearby table so hard my knuckles turned white. “Even if you don’t want to believe it, you selfish prick.”
Drake turned to me, his expression cold. “If they existed, where are they? Convenient that the only evidence of these supposed
pregnancies has disappeared.”

I felt a surge of anger that made my vision blur at the edges. “The
Twin Moon Hospital was having a power outage that day. The
computers were down. Everything was done on paper, and I… I threw
mine away.” My voice faltered as I slammed my palm against the
table. “I didn’t want the fucking reminder of another thing you took
from me.”
“I kept mine,” Sophia insisted. “I know I did. Drake, we can go to the
café right now. They might be there.”
The thought of prolonging this excruciating confrontation made my
stomach turn, but I knew we needed those reports. Drake wouldn’t
believe us without them, and Sophia was right–this could affect both
of our positions in Twin Moon City.

“Let’s just go,” I said wearily, running a shaking hand through my
damp hair. “The sooner we find them, the sooner this is over and I
never have to look at your face again.”
Sophia nodded and headed toward the door, but Drake stepped into
her path, his tall frame blocking her exit.
“You’re not going anywhere until I get some answers,” he said, his
voice deceptively soft. “What game are you playing, Sophia? Making
up stories about pregnancies to manipulate Elsa against me?”
Sophia’s eyes widened. “Are you serious? You think I would lie about
something like that?”
“I think you’ve had it out for me from day one,” Drake replied coldly.
“And now you’ve concocted this story to drive a wedge between Elsa
and me.”
“There’s nothing left between us to drive a wedge through,” I
interjected, a bitter laugh escaping me as I pushed myself away from
the table. “You made damn sure of that when you chose her.”
But Drake ignored me, continuing to focus on Sophia.
“If you’re lying,” he continued, stepping closer to Sophia, “I’ll make
sure you can’t operate in Twin Moon City anymore. No one will rent

to you. No one will do business with you. You’ll be finished.”
Sophia’s face paled, but her eyes flashed with defiance. “You’re
threatening me for telling the truth? That’s low, even for you.”
“Drake,” Allen’s voice cut through the tension. “Back off. This isn’t
helping anyone.”
Drake’s head snapped toward Allen. “Stay out of this, Moonlight. This
doesn’t concern you.”
“It does when you’re threatening innocent people,” Allen replied
evenly.
Drake turned back to Sophia, his expression murderous. “Innocent?
She’s accusing me of causing my own children to die. Children I didn’t
even know existed.”
“Because you never fucking noticed!” Sophia suddenly shouted, tears
springing to her eyes. “You never noticed her pain! You never noticed
