Chapter 8 Below that was a video recovered from Aria's chat history. So thoughtful. The camera was focused steady on that paternity test while Aria's voice came from off-screen: "See? Now do you believe me? Who else would I be having a baby with besides you?" "Once I milk Caleb for everything he's worth, we can take off together. We've been together for years-don't you trust me?" CRASH. Caleb's phone hit the floor, screen shattering into pieces. His face went ghost-white, but his eyes were burning red. Right then, Aria came out of her room after her exam. From where I was standing, I could clearly see her put on that fragile act the exact moment Caleb turned o look at her. She gave him this weak little smile: "The doctor said our baby's okay... thank God..." SLAP! Before she could finish, Caleb slapped her so hard she hit the ground. The look on his face was absolutely terrifying-like he wanted to tear her apart with his bare hands. You fucking whore, why don't you just go die with that little bastard!" Aria covered her face, crying pitifully: "Caleb, what are you talking about..." he thought playing the victim would trigger his protective instincts and get him to be gentle with her again. But Caleb wasn't having it. He threw the paternity test in her face. When she saw what it was, she completely panicked. It's fake! This is fake! Someone's trying to frame me!" knew Aria wouldn't go down easy, so the stuff I'd sent Caleb wasn't just the paternity test. 'd included her chat logs, hotel records, money transfers-the whole nine yards. Everything. was done watching this drama unfold, so I turned and walked out of the hospital. The bakery owner was waiting for me outside. At this time, my phone rang-someone from the property office confirming they'd verified everything and the house transfer was invalid. It was still staying in ny name. smiled with relief and was about to get in the car when Caleb came charging out and grabbed my arm. Sloane! Don't go-please, let me explain!" frowned and turned back. Caleb grabbed both my hands, desperate: I was deceived! It was her-she seduced me..." pulled my hands away coldly: "So you're completely innocent?" Caleb blocked the car door, begging: "Sloane, I'm sorry. I fucked up. Please, just give me one more chance!" Men are always the same. When they're cheating, they're so smug thinking they're fooling everyone, just living it up enjoying their little thrill. Then when they get caught, they think all they have to do is swallow their pride and apologize, and everything will be forgiven. Llet out a cold laugh, wound up, and slapped Caleb as hard as I could. Chapter & "Who the fuck do you think you're playing with?" Our car started up, and drove off without looking back. "So what's your plan now?" I thought for a moment, pulled out my phone, and bought a plane ticket overseas. "Time to swallow my pride and crawl back to Dad." 'Dad was right-men are all trash." The bakery owner couldn't help but chuckle: "That's probably for the best. Just don't forget your old friends when you're living it up." grinned and threw my arm around her: "Are you kidding? I'm nowhere near done with your pastries-I could never forget!" The owner smiled helplessly: "Sloane, I'm driving here." I'm totally gonna pack up one of everything from your shop before I leave!" Deal, deal-I'll make sure every single one is extra big. You'll be in pastry heaven." Yay! I knew you were the best!" Ve goofed around until the afternoon, grabbed dinner together, and then I finally headed home.
