I arrived at the Aldridge Estate that evening not long after I’d spoken to Maddox. What he’d told me was still running through my head.

I found Mr Aldridge in the foyer, speaking to the butler with his posture straight like he was already over the fact that he wasn’t Tiffany’s biological father.

As I started getting closer, I expected him to turn and look at me, but he didn’t. It was the butler who was the first to notice me and he greeted me politely before excusing himself and walking off. Only then did Mr Aldridge turn to face me.

“Good evening,” I said politely.

He replied instantly with a neutral tone, but his expression said everything else. He wasn’t pleased that I only showed up there at that time.

I knew I had more than enough time to explain myself, so I first got into my act.

“Where’s my wife?” I asked like I meant it. “She’s not picking up my calls.”

His expression softened slightly. “She must have fallen asleep.”

That made me pause for a second before speaking again. “Really? After everything that happened?”

His eyes sharpened again. “What took you so long to get here?”

“I was busy. I wish I’d been here sooner.”

He shook his head like he wasn’t convinced.

“You should have been here,” he said before turning and walking toward the minibar.

I followed behind him immediately, preparing my voice so it would sound apologetic enough. “I really feel awful that I wasn’t here when my wife needed me. I’m sorry.”

Even as I said all that, the words didn’t feel like they meant anything to me.

“I heard what happened from Maddox,” I said.

That got a small reaction out of him. He paused to glance back at me, then faced forward again and kept moving without saying a word about it.

When we reached the mini bar, he gestured for me to sit and I leaned back in my seat as soon as I sat down.

He moved behind the counter, glancing at me as he said, “What will you have?”

I gave my preference and he started with some ice cubes, then poured me a drink, sliding the glass toward me before pouring another glass for himself.

It was only after he took a sip from his glass that I took a sip from mine.

We drank in silence for a few minutes and during that time, it was just the sound of ice shifting in the glass.

I wanted to hear it from him, not just what Maddox had said to me, so when he spoke first, I instantly put down my glass to

“When I first told Tiffany that I wasn’t her father, she was in shock and Margot didn’t help when she showed up. She refused to say who Tiffany’s biological father is.”

His tone turned colder as he talked about my mother–in–law and that didn’t surprise me either.

As he said so many awful things about her, which were all true even though I didn’t openly show that I agreed with him. I couldn’t help but think about how ironic it all was. The truth came out at the worst possible time because it wasn’t so different from my situation with Tiffany and Josh’s baby. The only difference was that I still benefited and at that moment, I
