CHAPTER THIRTEEN
–FIERO –
I wait impatiently until Quinn returns from her short visit to the bathroom.From the retching sounds I’m guessing she’s suffering from morning sickness due to the pregnancy.I hear water running and a few minutes later she’s walking back into the room.
“How long have you been sick?”I ask, and can’t help but bring up the fact that, “I assumed you’d be smart enough to know pregnancy symptoms.”She narrows her eyes and another question arises inside me.“Or were you aware?”
I grind my teeth to prevent myself from asking if she was going to use the information to fucking blackmail me.I might have ignored her the moment I left her naked ass on the floor a few weeks ago, but I had her under surveillance.
Not because of the interest she evokes inside me; it’s a standard issue and mentioned in the contract.It’s a system to protect those involved, along with our secret society.This is why I know for a fact no other cock but mine was the last one inside her tight pussy.
She closes the distance between us in the blink of an eye.
Two hands give me a hard shove against my chest when she snaps, “I got sick from whatever Cillian’s guys knocked me out with.How dare you judge me?You clearly don’t know me, and let’s keep it that way because I don’t trust you, the doctor, the blood test, or anything involving all of this.I’m not pregnant: I was fucking drugged.That’s why I’m sick and not because some crazy-ass blood test result you think you have.”
I stare down at her with a load of disinterest while I’m fuming on the inside.I couldn’t care less about the things she mentioned, except for the fact she got sick from whatever she was given.I make a mental note to ask the doctor if it would affect the unborn child.
Quinn reaches for me again and this time it’s not to shove me.Nope, her hand is on my buckle.
Curling my fingers around her wrist, I tighten my grip.“Whatever your intention is, I strongly suggest you act differently.”
She lifts her chin and the defiance is gleaming in her eyes.Dismissing her, I sidestep and drop her wrist as I stride to the door.
Before I step out, I turn my head to face her one final time.“I’m the only one who knew that the condom broke while I was balls deep inside you.We both know you haven’t been with anyone else.So, you are pregnant with what I’m almost one-hundred percent sure is my child.Which means you will stay in this room until further testing can give us the final result.”
“The fuck I will,” she roars as I shut and lock the door behind me.
“Sounds like she’s agreeing wholeheartedly with your suggestion,” Floris deadpans.
I shoot my brother a glare and turn to head for my office.
“Anything I can do to help?”he questions as he falls in step beside me.
Taking a turn to head into my office, I ask, “Did you find her father yet?”
Floris leans against the doorjamb.“I’ve been a bit busy with the special delivery for Cillian.”
