Chapter 8
I let out this cold, bitter laugh.
“This baby? I fought like hell to keep her. You saw me getting those shots, choking down all those meds, didn’t you?”
My voice cracked. “Guess she just couldn’t stand the idea of having a deadbeat dad like you. Eight months in, and she
still chose to bail.”
I looked him dead in the eye. “But hey-don’t fake the grief now. You’ve already got another kid. One that’s actually
born.”.
Damien’s lips trembled. His voice came out all shaky and pathetic.
“That baby… was an accident…”
Emilia cut in, shoving her phone in front of me.
“Found something real interesting.”
“Damien’s salary caps out at five hundred grand a year. But the shit he’s been buying Sophie? Millions. Plural.”
“Sure, some of it was stuff Ethan and I gave you-which he stole and regifted to her.”
“But he also dropped a ton of his own cash. Or… what he thought was his own cash.”
I stared at Damien, horrified.
“You’ve been embezzling from the company!”
That was the only explanation. Had to be.
I smiled-sharp, vicious, ice-cold.
“Well. You really handed me this one on a silver platter, didn’t you?”
No way in hell I was letting him walk away from any of this. And now? He just gave me the nuclear option.
Damien went sheet-white, scrambling,
“I didn’t-! I never did that!”
Ethan’s team worked fast. Within the hour, they had all the proof. And they’d already called the cops.

Chapter 8
Ethan showed up with two officers in tow.
Now Damien looked scared.
He lunged at Sophie, ripping the jewelry off her wrists and neck.
“Olivia! Babe! You gotta believe me-I didn’t know! I swear!”
“I thought this stuff was cheap! That’s the only reason I gave it to Sophie!”
“Here-take it back! I’ll give you everything back!”
Ethan kicked him so hard he hit the floor.
“You messed with my sister. Big mistake, asshole.”
He threw a stack of evidence at Damien’s face.
“And you’ve been stealing company funds to bankroll your side piece? You’re done.”
Damien barely glanced at the papers before grabbing Sophie’s hand like a lifeline.
“Ethan! Sir! This isn’t my fault!”
“It was Sophie! She lied to me! Made me think she was your sister!”
“She’s the one who pushed me to move that money around! She hinted that you wouldn’t care because she was family!”
“I got played!”
Sophie’s jaw dropped. He just threw her under the bus without a second thought.
I almost laughed.
Of course he did. Damien only ever loved one person-himself.
He turned back to Ethan, groveling,
“Please, man-we’re family now, right? Just let me off this once.”
“I’ll treat Olivia right from now on! I swear!”
Then his eyes lit up like he’d just cracked the code.

“The baby-yeah! The baby!”
He pointed at Sophie.
“Since Sophie made Olivia lose her baby, we’ll just give Olivia Sophie’s baby instead! Fair trade!”
I stared at him, stunned.
This motherfucker actually thought I’d raise his mistress’s kid.
How does someone become this shameless?
I ground my teeth so hard they could’ve shattered.
“Keep. The. Baby.”
“And we are not family.”
“My lawyer’s already drafting the divorce papers. We’re done.”
