Divorced CEO's Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Riley and Bryce) novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252 You Said You Loved Me

“Don’t worry, Bryce isn’t petty like that. Bella’s carrying his child now–there’s no way he’d just abandon her,” Logan said from the side.

If this had happened before, even without money, he would have gritted his teeth and agreed, but now…

“So how much is the Sinclair family planning to spend on a lawyer?” he asked.

“What?” Logan and Miranda exchanged startled glances.

“Look, the Sinclairs might have money, but that’s Bella’s uncle—not us. We’re broke. And her uncle? He’s cutting ties with us over this mess! Bryce, you’re not the kind of man to bite the hand that feeds you, right?”

“Bite the hand that feeds me?” Bryce’s head snapped around, his glare landing squarely on Bella, lounging in the bed. “Your family never did a damn thing for me. I don’t owe you anything.”

“How can you say that? Don’t forget–Bella saved your

“Why don’t you ask your precious daughter who actually saved me that day!”

Bella turned to her parents, her tone deceptively calm. “Mom, Dad–get out. I need to speak to Bryce alone.”

After Logan and Miranda left, Bella climbed down from the bed. She crossed the room to Bryce, her voice soft but laced with determination.

“Bryce, I know there’s been… misunderstandings between us. But my feelings for you are real—and now, we have a child together.”

She took his hand and placed it gently on her stomach. “I’m eight weeks along. Next year, you’re going to be a father.”

Bryce jerked his hand away like her touch had burned him.

“Bella, how can you even say that to me? Do you have any idea what you’ve done to my life?

“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be divorced, my company wouldn’t be in ruins, and I never would’ve touched those4

“That’s not true! Why would I want to hurt you? I just didn’t want Garrett holding anything over me anymore.

“I thought sending him to prison would end it. If Riley hadn’t interfered, I had it handled–the money would’ve been back in two weeks,” Bella said, almost pleading.

“Threatened?” Bryce’s voice cracked with fury.

“You bribed Garrett to say you were my savior, when you knew damn well it was Riley! You stood there and watched me betray her, over and over, for you!”

“I figured since you and Riley were already divorced, there was no point dredging up the past. Besides–you love me! Does it really matter who saved you?”

“Of course it matters!” Bryce’s voice was harsh, bitter.

“If you weren’t my savior–if Riley was–how could I have betrayed her again and again for you? Do you even understand what you’ve done to me?”

“I hurt you?” Bella stared at him in disbelief, as if the idea were absurd.

Bella’s lips curled into a sneer.

“So now it’s all my fault? Bryce, who was it that came crawling the second I came back to the country? Who dropped everything to answer my calls? Who showered me with gifts?

“If you really loved Riley so much, why was it so easy for me to have you wrapped around my finger? Why did you give her a bargain–bin wedding ring?

“Face it–you never respected Riley. If I’d been just some nobody instead of a Sinclair daughter and airline copilot, you’d have tossed me a little cash and walked away. The only reason you kissed my ass was because of my status.”

Every word landed like a slap across Bryce’s face.

“Shut the hell up!” he snarled, rage boiling over as his hand shot out and clamped around her throat, desperate to choke off the poison spilling from her lips.

Bella clawed at his wrist, her face flushing crimson.
