The disappointment in Bryce’s eyes left Bella stunned.

She knew he was done with her.

In the past, even if he’d learned she’d deceived him about the fifty million dollars, he would’ve forgiven her.

But now it was different. He knew she wasn’t his savior.

“Bryce, I… I didn’t mean to lie,” Bella pleaded, her voice frantic. “I only ‘borrowed‘ the fifty million dollars, but I reported it to the police! The money will be recovered, and we won’t lose anything. I genuinely planned to help you with that deal with my uncle. I was just about to talk to him!”

But Bryce wasn’t buying her excuses anymore.

“Bryce, I love you. You have to believe me. I really love you!” Bella’s tone grew desperate.

“Enough!” Bryce snapped, cutting her off. “Stop saying you love me, Bella. We’re done.”

Bella’s face went pale.

She couldn’t accept this ending.

After all her efforts, all her sacrifices, how could it end like this?

As Bryce turned away, Bella blurted, “I’m pregnant!”

“What?” Bryce froze, staring at her in disbelief, but then his eyes darted to Riley, panic flickering, across his face.

Riley frowned, studying Bella, lost in thought.

A spark of hope flared in Bryce’s chest. Did she still care about him?

Was that why she frowned and stared at Bella so intently when she heard about the pregnancy?

“I’m pregnant,” Bella repeated, her voice firm. “So, Bryce, don’t think you can just walk away from me!”

In that moment, Bryce understood what Bella’s sudden

announcement meant.

Did her pregnancy mean they were tied together forever?

“Oh, this is rich!” Lara’s voice dripped with mockery. “Congratulations, Bryce–daddy–to–be! When you marry your knocked–up mistress, do send me an invitation. I’ll make sure to get you something… special.”

Bryce stood rigid, feeling as if he’d been plunged into icy water,

How could Bella be pregnant so soon?

They’d only slept together a few times.

“Let’s go,” Riley said, her voice pulling Bryce out of his daze.

As she turned to leave, Bryce lunged forward. “Riley, I…”

Before he could get close, Sebastian’s men blocked him, keeping him at a distance.

“Let’s go,” Sebastian said, taking Riley’s hand and leading her out of the station.

Vince frowned slightly and followed them.

Lara shot Bryce a scornful look.

“You’ve got some nerve bothering Riley. But you and Bella? You two deserve each other. You schemed against Riley, basking in her efforts while handing over the wealth she built to Bella, all under the guise of repaying your ‘savior‘. Now that your so–called savior has played you, how does it feel?”

With that, she turned her back on them and walked out.

Inside the station, Bryce looked at Bella, dressed in designer

clothes and jewelry–all bought with his money.

And just like Lara said, all that money had been earned with Riley’s help.

He’d never understood just how vital Riley was until she was gone. Without her, everything crumbled–and to make matters worse, Bella had walked away with the fifty million he’d borrowed.

With those thoughts in mind, Bryce’s face grew paler than Bella’s.

As the police led Bella to the interrogation room, she shouted, “Bryce, I’m carrying your child! You can’t abandon me!”

Bryce stared at her, but no matter how she pleaded, he didn’t say a word.

Only when Bella was taken away did he stumble, as if drained of all strength, his head bowing as a bitter laugh escaped him.
