CHAPTER 131

EDWINA

The rage wasn't swift. 

It was slow. 

A steady descent that seeped into me with a pace that would make a snail jealous, burrowing into my bones as Orion's words settled and wrapped around me like a vise. 

I am the father of your child. 

The words went around in my head over and over, and I almost erupted with the force of my anger as it slammed into me over and over again.

All these while, everybody had been lying to me? Even Juliette, who I thought was my friend?

My Father? Charlotte? Archie? Kieran?

My hands curled into fists, as I remembered how sincere Kieran had looked when he was telling me about his position in my life. 

And foolish as I was, I had accepted his words without question, believed him to be every single thing he said he was. 

How could I have been so naive?
