Chapter 7 I thought the Kincaids would pull strings and hire some top - tier lawyer . That this case would be a fight . Turns out , not a single lawyer would take her case . Not even for millions . " The Kincaids keep raising the offer , but no one's biting . They don't wanna tank their reputation by defending her . " My assistant's tone was matter - of - fact . I didn't respond . With nowhere else to turn , Margot went crawling to West . " West , Autumn still loves you . If you ask her , she'll drop the charges . " " Please . If you don't help me , I'm screwed . " She thought playing the victim would work . But West just looked at her . Voice quiet . Deadly . " You know , my parents begged for mercy too . " ' So did Autumn . " ' But you didn't care , did you ? " ' You killed my parents . And then you tried to kill my wife . " ' You deserve to rot in prison . " Margot stumbled backward , face twisting with rage . ' Oh , spare me the innocent act , West ! " YOU handed me those company files . YOU did that . " ' And Autumn ? You let me do whatever I wanted to her . " So what are you , some kind of hero ? " ' Bullshit ! You're a killer just like me . " I go down , you go down . That's it . " West's expression shattered . He hadn't expected her to say that . " You're carrying my kid ! " 13:11 He Made Me Apol Chapter 7 Margot langhed bitterly . Looked at him like he was pathetic . But she still reached out and patted his head . Like she was petting a dog . " So you better go beg Autumn to drop the charges . " " Unless you want this kid growing up without a mom . " West smiled . And then he started crying . He thought the baby was proof that love could beat hate . Turns out , it was just another trap . ' Got it . " You can leave now . " He watched her walk out . And quietly scheduled her an abortion . That afternoon , he forced Margot to terminate the pregnancy . And then went straight to Hale Industries . ' Autumn , I'm so sorry . " ' I didn't know she did all that to you . I didn't know how much you sacrificed for me . " The baby's gone . Can we ... can we start over ? " He held out the abortion paperwork like it was some kind of peace offering . didn't take it . Just stared at him . No. " You're disgusting . " All the color drained from his face . But he still lunged forward . Babe , I scrubbed everything off ! I'm clean now ! " I just made a mistake . The kind every guy makes . Please forgive me . " 'I swear I won't let you down again . " Watching him grovel like this , I felt nothing but disgust . " Cut the act . " " You just want me to drop the charges . Not happening . " 13-11 He Made Me Arologize to His ' Work Wife ' I RSVP'd ' Hell Yes ' with a Vow Exchange : Til Death Do Us Part Chapter 7 " Now get out . " " Or I'll make sure the entire Vaughn family goes down with you . " A flicker of hope crossed his face . " Babe , I'm done protecting her ! " " I've got evidence too . Here - take everything . " He pulled a USB drive out of his bag and set it on my desk like it was some grand gesture . Margot was in the hospital recovering from the abortion . She actually thought killing the baby would make me forgive West . So she stopped looking for a lawyer . Went back to partying with her trashy friends . Days passed . But still no word about me dropping the charges . She got more and more paranoid . Kept blowing up West's phone . But he kept dodging her . 13-11
