Chapter 2
Moments later, my phone brazzed with a friend request from an unknown number!
The profile picture was of Rosemary holding a bouquet, taken during the proposal ||
The message that followed chilled me to the bone
“Laura, don’t worry about Lincoln. He’s with me doing his rehab exercises right now.“||
Attached was a photo of Lincoln and Rosemary, hath lying naked in bed, entwined
The room’s familiar decor struck me immediately. My heart tightened as instinctively stepped out and pressed the elevator button.]]
The entire top floor of the building was a rehabilitation space Lincoln had purchased for his recovery |
For a year, he had insisted I not accompany him there after work||
He daimed the process was too grueling and didnt want me to see him at his weakest. He didn’t want me to hurt for him–or so he said.
Yet, Rosemary’s regular u
updates on WhatsApp
p Moments told a different story!]
Every time Lincoln trained, she was by his side. And after the sessions, the two would indulge in pleasures together.|
Now, as I stepped off the elevator out the top floor, the sound of heavy breathing and passionate kissing echoed in the empty space
“Lincoln be careful. I’m still carrying your baby Bosemary’s vote co
1 froze, unable to believe what I was hearing. I approached the hall closed door, my heart pounding
Preking through. I saw Lincoln burying his face into Rosemary’s bare neck with fervor.]
“Weren’t you full of energy when seducing me? Now bear with Lincoln growled his tone laced with a twisted amusement[]
With that he intensified i
i his movements, making the door rattle violently in time with their reckless rhythm ||
My hands clenched tightly around the fabric of my sleeves, and tears began to fall uncontrollably
Inside the room. Rosemary’s coquettish voice pierced the air, sharp and parring
“All you do is bully me! Now that your legs are better, when will you take me to meet your ty?
“I don’t mind being your secret lover, but the baby cant remain hidden foreverr
Her pitiful tone tugged at Lincolas heartstrings once again.
After a brief bestation, he finally relented.]
“Just wait a little longer. After you give birth to the baby
“Laura can’t have children anyway. I’ll find an opportunity to tell her that we’ll adopt this child as our own.
“But don’t let Laura find out about this. If you do, I won’t forgive you.“[]”
I never imagined that the infertility I developed after the car accident a year ago would now become Lincoln’s perfect excuse to bring his illegitimate child inte
our home.
at I vividly remembered how he had knelt by my hospital bed back then, swearing he didn’t care that I couldn’t have children, claiming he loved me deeply.
sident tears slipped down my cheeks, and a sharp pala throbbed in my chest ||
Closing my eyes in exhaustion, I walked downstairs mechanically and returned to my bed{
I barely slept that
that night. By the time morning arrived, I was still half–awake when I heard
rd Lincoln enter the bestroom
Sering me still asleep, he lay down beside me grally
His movement started me, and I turned over irritably, pushing hian away []
Lincoln chuckled softly, his deep voice filled with amusement[]
“My de
ta, even when you te angry in your sleg, you’re still so beautiful.–
But in truth, my eyes were already open an Tay with my bark to him. ||
Out of the corner of my eye. I noticed the famt red marks scattered across his neck
Turning around, my gaze met his, my eyes bloodshot and full of pain.
Lincoln’s expression shifted as he noticed something was wrong a hint of panse flickering across his face ||
“Laura, what’s wrong? Did you sleep well?–||
Lowering my eyes, I andded slightly “I had a nightmare.-[]
Lincoln saghed in relief and began comforting me patiently
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here. What did you dreamt about |
1 looked up at him, my voice trembling as I spoke through the tears.
“I dreamed that you cheated on me, that you had a child with another woman. Lincoln, would you ever do o that to me?
incolis face suffered for a moment, but he quickly composed himself, raising his hand solemnly.
“Of course not. I would never betray you, nor would I lie to you. If I do, may lightning strike me down, and may I never have peace“]
