Lauren froze.
She could quit her job if she had to, but what about Zac? This was a critical moment in his career.
Her heart began to race.
Back then, when she found out she was pregnant, she’d chosen to keep the baby, even if it meant marrying a stand -in. That alone proved how much she cared about Zac.
And now, hearing that his promotion might be at risk because of her, how could she not panic?
“You despicable shit!” she spat through clenched teeth. “When the court rules and I get my payout, I swear I’ll make you pay dearly!”
