The crowd straight-up cackled. They’d put it all together.
Me? I just felt hollow.
The only reason Damien even got that Nexus Tech manager gig was because of me.
Sophie kept backpedaling. “I never actually said that. You just jumped to conclusions.”
Before they could hash it out, the ambulance screamed up to the curb.
I got wheeled into the ER.
Lost the baby.
I didn’t know what I was supposed to feel. Empty, maybe.
Emilia exhaled this long, bitter sigh. “Stop beating yourself up. A kid with that DNA? Probably saved everyone a lot of therapy bills. Honestly? Dodged a bullet.”
I forced something vaguely smile-shaped onto my face.
Was about to respond when the door crashed open.
Damien.
And he sure as hell wasn’t here to grovel.
He stormed in.
“Olivia! Why didn’t you tell me who the hell your family was?!”
“If I’d known Ethan and Emilia were your siblings, you think I would’ve screwed myself over like this?!”
“Now I’m unemployed! You proud of yourself?! This what you wanted all along?!”
The nerve of this guy made my stomach turn.
and
“I told you. Over over. But every time I opened my mouth, you looked at me like I was some annoying
telemarketer.”
“You stopped listening to me months ago,”

“So congrats-you played yourself.”
Damien went full meltdown mode, flipping everything around.
“Because you turned into a slob! Walking around looking like someone’s divorced aunt!”
“You never asked if I was tired! If I needed support!”
“You had all this money, all these connections-and you did jack shit to help me climb!”
Sophie oozed out from behind him.
“He’s right, Olivia. Marriage is supposed to be teamwork. Damien fell out of love with you ages ago, but he was gonna tough it out. For the baby. Out of responsibility.”
“And you just played him like a fiddle. Manipulated everyone. That’s honestly psychotic.”
“You almost ruined my life with your lies!”
And this absolute clown actually ate it up. Again.
I looked at him like he was roadkill.
“I didn’t help you? So how’d you magically score that Nexus manager spot, huh?”
“And don’t you dare say hard work.”
“When you thought Sophie was Ethan’s sister, you were convinced she got you that job.”
“But the second you find out I’m his sister? Oh, now it’s all your brilliant résumé. That about right?”
Damien’s face cycled through red, purple, and back to sickly pale. No comeback. Nothing.
I wasn’t finished.
“And ‘fell out of love but stayed for duty’? Cool story.”
“Then why were you parading Sophie around as your wife? Telling everyone I was some unhinged stalker?”
“You murdered our baby and didn’t even blink!”
Damien’s pupils dilated. Like reality just bitch-slapped him.
“Wait-the baby’s… it’s really…?”

His voice cracked. “No way. Sophie barely bumped into you. That can’t-how does that even-”
