" We're leaving , " Ian said shortly , not letting Chloe speak as he moved toward the door . Miranda knew something was wrong . She hurried into the study . Edward finally broke his silence when she entered . " Go see that Sherman woman . Whether the child is Ian's or not , he is not divorcing Chloe . " Miranda nodded silently . She knew Edward valued family stability and reputation above all else . Even if the boy was Ian's , he would never be acknowledged . Shane frowned . " The Irvines are finished . Chloe's been married to Ian for three years - no child , no career . She's no better than that Sherman woman . We can find Ian a new match . " Edward sat back in his chair . " Andrea Sherman is common and ambitious . Even if the child is lan's , she will never be a Hamilton . " Miranda spoke softly .

Stay close to Chloe these days . Comfort her . Be there for her . " Mia had overheard everything from the hallway . " I will , Mom ." Back in her room , Mia couldn't calm down . What if Ian really lost his mind ? What if he divorced Chloe and brought that woman home ? Worried , she called Chloe . But Chloe's phone kept ringing inside her bag - unanswered . Ever since getting in the car , Ian had held her tightly against his chest . No matter how much she cried or struggled , he refused to let go . By the time they'd driven halfway across the city , they both looked exhausted and emotional . Then Chloe saw a pharmacy out the window and remembered something urgent . " I need to use the restroom . " Ian had the driver pull over . He smoothed her hair gently . " I'll go with you ." They got out , his hand never leaving hers . Outside a chain pharmacy , Chloe stopped . " Don't worry . For my parents and my brother ... I won't do anything stupid . " Ian studied her for a long moment , then released her hand . Inside , Chloe went straight to the counter . " I need the morning - after pill ."

Chloe coughed and choked , her throat burning as she struggled to catch her breath . When she finally could , she launched herself at Ian , hitting his chest with her fists . " Give it back ! Give me the pill ! " He caught her wrists , forcing her to look at him . " Is the idea of having my child really that terrible ? " He knew the chances were high - last night , he hadn't held back . Maybe a child would give her something to hold onto . Something to calm the storm inside her . She ripped her hands free , ignoring the pain . " Stop pretending , Ian ! Just stop ! The woman you love already gave you a son . You cherish them - I heard you . So don't stand here and act like you want me . I can't take it anymore ! " He watched her fall apart , frustration and helplessness twisting inside him . " It's not what you think , " he said , voice low . Tears streamed down her face , but she let out a broken laugh . " Then what is it , Ian ? Enlighten me . " " Did I imagine you saying you wanted to marry Andrea - not me ? " " Did I dream you blaming your grandfather for keeping you from happiness ? " " Was I hallucinating when you admitted that boy is your son ? " " Did I invent the part where you threatened to burn down Hamilton Group to protect them ? " By the end , she was shaking , on the verge of breaking completely . " I don't want this marriage , lan . I don't want a husband who belongs to someone else , I can't do this ! " He pulled her tightly against his chest , one hand steady on her back . " Chloe , " he said , his voice rough but firm . " Forget everything you heard outside that study ." 13:19 Thu , Oct 2
