Chapter 85


    Christopher’s POV


    “Um, Buddy, she’s pregnant.” I turned to look at Henry, who is not only a good friend but also a family


    doctor. He doesn’t know that Camille is still my wife. He looks so concerned that she is pregnant, but


    what my friend doesn’t know is that the baby is mine. I was renderedpletely speechless as I stood


    there. I want to celebrate, but if I do, I will blow my cover.

    Fuck it!


    I cracked a smile. “She’s pregnant? How long?”


    “She’s about to enter the second trimester now. Going to 12 weeks.” My eyes went wide. Shit! When I


    took her to the dungeon, she was already several months along in her pregnancy. I was far too rough


    that night, and the baby could have been seriously injured or even killed as a result. Is the baby still


    okay?


    After making some sort of throat-clearing noise, I looked over at Henry. “Is the baby all right?”


    “In good health.”


    “Does it mean she knew?” I inquired my friend, but Henry gave me an odd look when I did so. I paced


    back and forth, rubbing my temples. I don’t fucking know what to do.


    “It’s yours, isn’t it?” I ced my hand over my mouth as I tried to think, but Henry didn’t let me. “You’re


    not going to fool me. This baby is yours, isn’t it?” I agreed by nodding. “What are you going to do? You


    two are no longer married. You have two failed marriages, Chris, and now this girl is pregnant out of


    wedlock.” He spoke out as if I didn’t have enough on my te already. I am confident that Henry has


    my back.


    “Camille is still my wife. We are not divorced and never were since the day we became husband and


    wife.” Now it was his turn to widen his eyes.


    “What are you talking about?”


    “It’s all part of a n; someone has been…” I paused and looked at Henry, then continued, “udia


    doesn’t exist. udia is Carman Cooper, Mark’s sister.”


    “What!” He sat down, but the couch seemed too hot for him to sit down, so he started pacing back and


    forth like I was. “If his sister slept with you and Joshua too, there is more to this.” I agreed by nodding.


    “Mark sent her.” I started telling Henry everything I knew, and he was crying when I was done. My life is


    aplete disaster, and the reason for this catastrophe is that I put too much faith in a friend. I should


    be crying, but Henry is the one crying right now. He has always been the soft-hearted one. He turned to


    face me and said,


    “How could you be soposed in this situation? I am not going to let you put your wife out there. She


    loves you, Chris. If you continue on like this, there is a chance that she will miscarry the baby. I don’t


    care how you do it, but I want you to keep Cam out of this, or maybe send her back to Mexico.”


    “I can’t be without my wife any longer, Henry. I love my wife; as strange as it may sound, I’ve been


    fighting my feelings, but that girl is my wife, and I’ll be damned if I endanger her life. I don’t know what


    Mark wants, but I have been seeing him go to her house recently and go through her things. If he ever


    finds out she’s pregnant for me, I don’t know what he’s going to do to her and my baby.”


    “So Mark is obsessed with you?” He inquired.


    “You got that right. He wants me, but how then can he befortable sending his sister to me? That is


    beyond myprehension. I haven’t told my grandfather this, but I think there is a mole in the family


    too, working with the coopers. I don’t want to tell him until I’m sure of it.” He shook his head.


    “I don’t care what you do; just make sure Cam is not involved in it in any way. Are you happy?” He


    looked at me and then continued, “About the baby?” I cracked a smile.


    “I’ve never been happier in my life.” When it came to Liam, I was only able to experience joy for a brief


    period of time before my hopes and dreams were dashed when udia or Carmen, or whoever her


    name is, told me that the baby wasn’t mine. But with Camille, I am happy and scared that I would lose


    her at the same time. I am also scared that she might crash my dreams too. She’s far too young to be a


    mother. What if she decides she doesn’t want to keep the baby? I mean, she still has a lot of things to


    aplish with her career, and being a wife and a mother might not be one of them.”


    “You underestimate her a lot. Figure out a way tomunicate with her, then take charge of your


    business and leave her alone to rx. He said that as he walked away.


    “Dad.” I turned to face my son, who was walking in with a worried expression on his face.


    “You good, buddy.”


    “Yeah, is mom okay?” I smiled as I looked at him. Cam and Liam have an unbreakable bond. Their


    love extends beyond the mother-son bond. It’s much bigger than that.


    “Yeah, your mom is fine.” I looked at him and said, “From now on, you and your mom will be staying


    here. I will be driving you to school. Mom needs to rest.”


    “When do I get to meet my little sister?” I smiled at the thought of having a girl, but I don’t know that yet.


    But if she could give birth to a girl, I’d be the happiest person alive.


    “We don’t know if it will be a girl or a boy yet, buddy.”


    “I’d like to have a little sister.”


    “You and I both, buddy, but only God decided that.” He smiled and looked at me; I could tell he was


    happy to hear that he would be having a sister, ording to him, but we don’t know that yet. “Buddy,


    can you do me a favor?” He gave a nod. “I really appreciate it if you could keep it a secret from your


    mom that you have a younger sister for now, okay? I want to surprise her,” I said, and he gave a nod. I


    know he had a slip of the tongue earlier on, but right now she doesn’t need to know yet.
