I couldn't believe I'd forgotten to take my contraceptive. Unlike Kathy, who sought to wed into the Miles clan through pregnancy, I had no such intentions.
Using a baby to secure a wealthy marriage? Even with my intelligence, I knew that was beyond my capabilities.
Worried, I rushed to the medical center and booked an appointment with a gynecologist.
Just after my blood was drawn, I glimpsed Chester in the corridor.
I swiftly ducked my head, donned a face covering, and attempted to sneak away. Sadly, I didn't make it far before his security detail blocked my escape.
I instantly recognized them as the men who had forcibly removed Kathy to the adjacent room that evening.
My throat constricted and I gulped anxiously, my hands trembling with fear.
I contemplated using my knowledge about them to blackmail Chester.
Before I could act, I heard a voice I knew well—Franklin's.
"That looks like her. It really does."
"You've got keen eyes, Franklin. It took me two years to realize."
