Nathan didn't move.
His eyes remained fixed on Olivia—the woman he had loved—and then slowly drifted to the Bluetooth speaker resting on the vanity.
"I trusted you," he said quietly.
Each word landed harder than any blow.
Olivia struggled to sit up, one hand still protecting her stomach.
"It's not what you think."
Her maid of honor, Vanessa, folded her arms with a satisfied smile.
"Oh, I think it's exactly what he thinks."
She pressed another button on her phone.

Nathan's jaw tightened.
"My father spent years rebuilding his life."
Olivia shook her head desperately.
"Those recordings are edited!"
Vanessa laughed.
"Then prove it."

Everything happening inside the room was being recorded.

She suddenly stepped forward and kicked Olivia in the side.
Nathan instinctively reached out.

His heart was torn between the woman he loved and the evidence he had just heard.
