Chapter 8

"It's not my brother's fault you can't get your act together," Seraphina snapped, hands on her hips, visibly upset.

"Maybe I can't get pregnant because Damien's the one who's not up to the task," I retorted.

"You!" Damien's face flushed with anger as he pointed at me.

He wanted to protest, but he didn't dare.

"Go ahead, deny it. Show me some proof," I goaded him.

But he just stood there with his finger raised, not daring to speak.

Back then, we hadn't reached this level of animosity.

At that time, Cian was still a thorn in his side.

We often cuddled, lost in each other's love.

But after more than two years of marriage, with no deliberate attempts at contraception, I had never once had a scare. I knew something wasn't right.

Worried it might be my problem, I went to the hospital for a check-up.

That's when I happened to run into Damien picking up medication.
