The Pretend Fiancé - Billionaire - Part 1 (Troubled Heart of the Billionaire)
Page 12
Hadn’t he said he wasn’t ready to settle down? Hadn’t she heard every damning word out of his mouth in that dining room when he was talking to his brother and mom? He was much more likely to tell them the truth than some girl he hired to play a part. No Carlson infant would be raised in a trailer park, she’d heard Sylvia sniff. Well, this wasn’t going to be a Carlson infant. This baby would be a James, just like her. He would belong to her and would be the most loved and wanted child ever. He would never know that he had a father who didn’t love either of them, a man who could take him away. She wouldn’t let that happen. When the baby was old enough, she’d tell him that his daddy died in a car accident. That she’d been so sad that she’d torn up all the pictures, but that his daddy loved them very much and knew that they were a family with or without him.
No. She could never pull off a lie like that. It wasn’t right. Well, she’d deal with that when the time came. It would be years before her child would start asking her questions.
She sat on the plane, wishing she had the picture she’d taken on the hot air balloon—could it only have been yesterday? So much had changed! That one frozen moment in time when they’d been happy together, now lost forever. She was alone and pregnant and had better stop pining over a man she could never have. A man whose only possible interest in her would be to take away the baby they’d made together.
No, she wouldn’t let him ever make her get an abortion, or give her baby up for adoption, or even hand her precious child over to Sylvia and her wealthy family to be raised by nannies. She wasn’t interested in any of those options. The only option she cared about was having her child and raising the baby herself.
At this point, Bellahad no choice.
If she wanted to keep her child, then she had to run away before anyone found out the truth.
She touched her stomach. “I love you dearest son or daughter. I don’t want to take you away from your daddy, but I really don’t have a choice. I’m doing this for you. To keep us together.”
A tear rolled down her cheek. She wanted Harvey to know, even though she was afraid to speak the words, that he was the only man she’d ever loved, would ever love, for the rest of her life.
It was the worst decision she ever had to make.
