‘I never meant to hurt you. I never meant any of it. What I did… it was wrong. But not intentional.’

‘Not intentional,’ he repeated, all the while trying to control the emotions welling up inside him. Not fury so much anymore. In its place was a deep sadness, and a dreadful, dreadful emptiness.

‘By the time I found out I was pregnant,’ she cried, ‘the wedding was upon me and I… I didn’t have the courage to just walk away.’

‘You should have told me,’ he said bleakly.

‘I should have. Yes.’

‘But you didn’t.’

‘No.’

‘You didn’t love me. You loved him.’

Again, she fell silent, shaking her head from side to side.

‘Did you know Harmon couldn’t have kids when you slept with me? Did you do it to give him the child you knew he couldn’t have.’

Nicolas could not deny the shock that filled her face. ‘No! No! I would never do a thing like that. And Greg could have children. I told you. He just had a low sperm count.’

‘If that’s the case, when did you know she was mine?’

‘Oh, God,’ she sobbed, then snatched a handful of tissues from a box on the counter, turning away from him as she blew her nose.

‘I’m waiting for an answer, Serina,’ Nicolas said with barely held patience.

Her sigh was weary, her eyes haunted. ‘I knew all along,’ she confessed. ‘I… I hadn’t slept with Greg during the last couple of months of our engagement. He wanted to make our wedding night special, he said.’
