Chapter 106

~BLAIR~

Richard had asked me to come.

That was the only reason I let Olivia drop me at the gate.

A gift for his grandchild, he said. Nothing that required me to stay. Nothing that required me to move back in. I told myself I could walk in, be polite, and leave.

Grayson was already there when I got out of the car.

He had pulled up only a minute before me, still in the aftermath of the game, hair damp. The second he saw me, something in his face loosened. Almost like he was relieved I was here.

“I’m happy you came.”

“I only came because your father asked,” I said. “He said he has a gift for his grandchild.”

Grayson nodded. “Nevertheless. I’m happy to see you.”

I almost answered. But then I heard an engine roaring.

Another car shot up the driveway. I frowned. Whoever it was, they were driving like they were pissed.

Lily got out of it like the vehicle had personally offended her.

Suitcase. Airport clothes. Phone still in her hand. She started shouting before the door had fully shut.

“Do you take me for a joke?” Her voice ripped across the yard. “You wait until I was out the country to tell the world she is still your wife? You have been mistreating me for her since the day she walked into this house-”

She fell silent when she realized I was also present, a look of resentment crossing her face. I could see the anger in her eyes. She hated me.

She pointed in my direction. “You need to leave. Now. This is between Grayson and me. In case you haven’t noticed he loves me. While you were gone, we’ve slept together every day-”

My heart squeezed tightly at her words. I could not pretend that did not hurt.

Grayson stepped in front of me so fast I only saw his back.

“That’s a fucking lie.” He growled then turned to me wide–eyed. “I swear, we didn’t.”

I didn’t know if I could believe him. They’d been seen kissing everywhere. Why wouldn’t he have slept with her?

“We need to talk,” he told her. “I know you’re upset but please don’t take this out on Blair. Be angry with me.

Not her.”

Lily chuckled. “So, Grayson, how’s this going to work? Are you planning to keep me as your secret fling while Blair is the wealthy girl you parade around in public? Honestly, I can’t see why you’d be interested in someone like her–it’s got to be the money.”

“I’m sorry I hurt you,” his voice was weary. “I feel terrible about how I handled everything, but my heart belongs solely to Blair. It has nothing to do with money or the debt I owe her father, even if that’s how it started. I love her–I truly do–and I can’t change that. She’s the one for me, the only one. It wouldn’t be fair to everyone involved if I kept pretending I wanted to be with you. I only want Blair. I don’t want to hurt you, Lily, but I can’t keep pretending. I’m sorry. Please, after all our years together, try to understand.

Lily let out a loud, piercing scream that echoed around us. I winced and instinctively covered my ear.

Something left her hand–phone, keys, I did not see what else, and Grayson caught it out of the air before it could reach me.

Another thing followed. He knocked that aside too, arm thrown out, body still blocking mine.

“Be careful!” he shouted. “Blair is pregnant with my baby.”

Lily froze mid–motion, chest heaving, staring at my stomach as if the jersey at the game had been hiding a

Her eyes widened in shock. “Pregnant? She’s actually pregnant. Grayson? How could you do this? Now it all adds up. You’re only with her because you knocked her up. You probably think she’d keep the baby from you if you divorced her. You feel like this is your only option, but that’s not the case.”

Then she burst out laughing hysterically, saying, “I get it now. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We can work with this. She can be our surrogate. When she gives birth, we’ll keep the baby and raise it as our own. We can make it work.”

I stared at her in horror and disbelief. She couldn’t be serious. Take my baby and raise it without me? Was she crazy?

“Are you freaking insane?” I asked her, finally speaking up.
