Chapter 53: Andrew’s Change of Heart

Amelia gazed at Andrew as the words lingered heavy in the air, choking her. He'd said, "It's about the baby," but his hesitancy was more damning than Marcus could ever imagine.

"What are you discussing?" Amelia's palm automatically went to her stomach as her voice faltered.

Marcus smirked cruelly as he rested lazily against the doorframe. "All right, Andrew. I'll tell her, or you can. I have the entire night.

Andrew snarled, his voice low and menacing, "Get out."

Marcus remained still. "Oh, hurry up. She is entitled to know.

"Marcus!" The room echoed with the authority in Andrew's voice as he growled.

The two guys locked eyes for a long time, a quiet struggle of wills. Marcus straightened and shrugged at last. Okay, I'll go—for the time being. However, don't assume that this is the end.

When Marcus left, he gave Amelia a glance that made her shiver. There was a deafening silence as the door clicked shut.
