Damien had been scouring the city , desperate to find any trace of me . At last , he was forced to accept the truth . This was not a petty argument - I really intended to leave him . " Estelle , where are you ? I must find you ! " Driving aimlessly through the city streets , the flash of a soft yellow dress caught his eye . A pregnant woman , moving quickly despite her large belly , slipped into the entrance of a luxury hotel . " Vivian ? " Damien's brow furrowed in confusion . ' Why was she here ? Wasn't she supposed to be resting in the hospital ? ' A bad feeling settled in his stomach . He spun the wheel and pulled into the hotel's garage . As he emerged from the stairwell into the hotel lobby , he caught sight of Vivian disappearing into a private room down the hall In her haste , she hadn't closed the door fully . A small gap remained . It was just enough for voices to slip through From where he stood , Damien froze as he heard her unmistakable voice . " Landon , this baby is yours . Are you really going to just abandon us ? " Damien's eyes went wide in shock 1/2 Chapter 7 +25 BONUS There came a man's lazy , mocking tone . " You're unbelievable . I told you before - I don't want the kid . With the way you were sleeping around back then , who even knows if it's mine ? " " It's yours . I'm sure of it . If you don't believe me , I'll do a paternity test ! If I could've had an abortion , I would've done it already . But now that it's too late , you're going to pay child support ! " Damien felt a chill crawl up his spine as her venomous words spilled out . It was so different from the soft , pitiful voice she always used with him . Vivian let out a low , cold laugh and threatened , " Otherwise , I'll go straight to your wife and tell her everything . " Landon finally dropped the cocky act . He lowered his voice and asked , " How much do you want ? " Vivian's lips curled in triumph as she held up two fingers . " Two hundred million . " Landon sucked in a sharp breath . " Are you insane ? That's extortion ! Besides , aren't you already cozying up to the Jones family ? Why are you coming after me now ? " " Because this baby is yours ! You wouldn't take responsibility , so I drugged Damien and seduced him - dressed up just like Estelle to trick him into sleeping with me . But once the baby's born , he'll realize it isn't his . And when that happens , you'll be dragged into this mess too . " Her voice dropped into a dangerous whisper . " Landon , this is your last chance . Give me the two hundred million , and I'll disappear with the baby . No one ever has to know . " There was a deafening bang as Damien burst through the door , making everyone in the room jump in shock . " Vivian , you're saying the baby isn't mine ? You've been lying to me this whole time ? " Say it again . Is the baby mine ? "
