137\u2013Two Women, One Heart\u00a0<\/p>\n
Graham:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is not happening. I will take care of my daughter alone. None of you will be allowed near her, because I can tell none of you care for her,\u201d I commented.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My father ignored me, climbed into the car, and we drove back to the guest house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When we entered, I noticed Baxter already standing in the living room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His arms were folded over his chest while he glared at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did you feel ruining her mental health?\u201d Baxter questioned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I tried to look away from him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t judge me. I did not do it purposely,\u201d I whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy don\u2019t you ask her how she feels about breaking my marriage?\u201d Kaylee stepped forward and argued with\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baxter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He gave her a sharp and confused glare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you usually that dumb, or is there nothing in your beta brain?\u201d he yelled at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I saw her body shake for a moment. She had been too used to abusing me and shouting at me, forgetting that not everyone would take it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Baxter yelled at her, she turned to me as if asking for help. I did not help her. She had brought this on herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe did not break your marriage. She does not even want to be acknowledged as someone who shares a child with your man. Tell your man to stop going after her. She said no, and a no means no,\u201d Baxter yelled at her, pointing at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She tried hard to stop herself from hitting him, but Baxter would not tolerate anything like that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, my husband does not want her. From what I have noticed, he is just trying to fill a void. He wanted a child from me, and since I could not give him one, he decided to go for Madeline,\u201d she screamed. My eyes widened at her words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, don\u2019t look at me like that. You cannot fool me, Graham. You forgot about her, but suddenly you remember that you wanted her and that you wanted a child. Oh, come on,\u201d she groaned, wiping her tears with the back of her\u00a0<\/p>\n
hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My father had already stepped away from the kitchen. When he returned, he looked much more relaxed, almost cocky, holding a glass of wine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, are you the father of one of her children?\u201d he asked again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I watched the veins rise in Baxter\u2019s arms. He slowly turned his head toward my father.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFather, what did I say about not mentioning it?\u201d I hissed, grunting under my breath, reminding him not to cross that line again, especially not in front of Baxter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I am just curious. So she turns out to be a freak. How is it possible for a she\u2013wolf to carry pups of different alphas? And does that mean she slept with three men? Was it in one night or different nights? I am assuming it\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
must have been one night since the kids were conceived together,\u201d my father continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baxter\u2019s veins began to turn red instead of blue. Even his face reddened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he looked at me, and fear ran through me because I knew what his state meant. It meant destruction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell your father to keep this inside him. All these questions could lead to a very big disaster,\u201d Baxter warned me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His voice sounded like a growl, the kind that came from an angry wolf ready to tear the world apart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I will not let any of you take her children away from her. She has been through enough,\u201d Baxter added. After giving us one last look, he stepped away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had never felt so guilty. Everyone made it seem as if I was the one who did not care for Madeline.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It hurt more than I expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he left, I turned toward my father, who stared right back at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry. That alpha cannot do anything. Besides, I give you my word, that woman and her children will be with us,\u201d my father reassured.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I searched for a way to escape the pressure building in my chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I needed to be alone in the woods. Everything had become too much for me, just as it had for the others.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As I turned to leave the mansion, Kaylee stepped into my path.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow could you do this to me?\u201d she asked. Tears streamed down her face. \u201cDid you not care about me once?\u201d she questioned shakily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKaylee, step out of my way,\u201d I requested.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. I want you to tell me. Did you never love me, not even once?\u201d she pressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I avoided her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After we married, I had started to feel something for her. It was a different kind of feeling, something close to love.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eventually, I had fallen in love with her. I cared for her, and I pictured a future with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But everything changed when Madeline returned. The old feeling rose back up stronger than anything I had ever felt for Kaylee.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet it was still painful to see Kaylee break like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If I had to pick between the two, I would pick Madeline. She had my daughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was the mother of my child, and Kaylee could no longer fulfill what I wanted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI love Madeline,\u201d I told her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She lifted her hand to slap me, but it never reached my face. For the first time, I gasped. It felt like something\u00a0<\/p>\n
inside her had vanished.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stepped aside in silence, surprising me as she allowed me to pass.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell you are free to do whatever you want, because my love for you is so deep that I would rather watch you be happy than cry with me,\u201d she uttered in a broken tone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
213\u00a0<\/p>\n
My chest tightened at her words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust one request though. Even if you discard me to the servant\u2019s quarter, keep me with you,\u201d she finished.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then she walked past me to our bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
