Chapter 13 In the villa's main hall , Theodore leaned against the wall , a cigarette burning down to the filter between his fingers . Smoke curled around his face , veiling the storm within his eyes . His parents sat on the couch , waiting anxiously . Although Theodore had said Caleb was not his biological son , Miranda still clung to a shred of hope . She insisted on a paternity test , and the results had disappointed her . Now , all her hopes were pinned on the child in Bianca's womb . After a long while , the assistant rushed in and handed Theodore a sealed document envelope . He took it with a blank expression but did not open it . Miranda , unable to wait another second , snatched it from his hand . Her fingers trembled as she tore it open . The moment she saw the results , a sharp scream tore from her throat before her body crumpled to the floor . The envelope hit the ground beside her as Edward hurried to catch her and rushed her to the hospital . Theodore stood there , watching it all unfold like a circus show . He bent down , picked up the envelope , and headed to Bianca's room . Inside , Bianca was pacing in anxious circles . She was sure the child in her womb was Theodore's , but the murderous fury in his eyes earlier made her blood run cold . The baby was her last resort , her only protection . She lowered her head , pressing a hand to her growing belly . " Sweetheart , my future is all on you . You've got to pull through for me , okay ? " The door clicked open . Bianca immediately looked up . When she saw Theodore step in , face unnervingly calm , hope sparked within her . He must have forgiven her . He still cared about the baby . He was innocent , after all . She forced her calm , pulling out a weak smile as her voice quivered . " Theo , I know I did wrong . I lost my mind , but that was because I loved you too much . I loved you to the point I went crazy . Let's start over , shall we ? The three of us , together . " Theodore did not respond . He simply held the envelope out to her . Bianca eyed Theodore hesitantly , unease swirling over her like a tide . She took out the report with trembling hands and flipped straight to the last page . The next second , her face went devoid of color . Her knees gave out beneath her . The report drifted out of her hands as she collapsed to the floor . " Excluded as the biological father . " These five words shattered her every hope " No ! lyxssible she shrieked . This report is fake ! Theo , believe me ! This baby is definitely yours ! Ive only ever slept with you ! How could he not be yours ! She scrambled up and lunged for his arm . Then , let's test again . This result is wrong ? Again ? Theodore's voice was icy cold . He looked down at her , his mouth curling into a merciless smile " You could test it 100 times . It will come back the same . " Bianca's head snapped up eves locking onto the deep black of his gaze . A terrifying realization exploded in her mind . Her whole body went cold , and her lips trembled . " Theo … It was you ? You tampered with it Theodore did not deny it . Slowly , he stepped toward her , watching as the light in her eyes flickered with dread . The pressure in the room shifted . Bianca instinctively backed away until she hit the wall Theodore reached out and grabbed her jaw with sudden force , jerking her head up " Why ? " She choked , tears streaming down her face from the pain . " Why " he echoed . His voice was low , laced with a chill that went bone - deep . His grip tightened . Bianca cried out in pain pure fear flooding her eyes . " You thought you could use that bastard in your belly to get away with everything ? " he hissed . " Let me help you remember how you schemed to use a child that wasn't even mine to deceive me again and again . How you used him to push Clarisse to the edge . " His other hand caressed her stomach . He was soft with his actions , but it sent a chill down her spine . " You made her watch you move into our family . You and your bastard child , taking over everything that once belonged to us . " You stood by while my mother nearly killed her with peanut butter . You dragged her into that pool and accused her of pushing you in " You taught that brat to lie , saying she pushed him . You made her kneel in front of everyone at the hospital with a slap mark on her face ! With every word , his grip tightened around her jaw . Bianca felt as if she were being crushed . She could no longer form words and could only whimper from the pain . For you and that bastard . " Theodore growled , his eyes filled with a hatred that could burn cities , " how much did Clarisse suffer ? How much did she endure ? Tell me , Bianca . How the hell am I supposed to settle this score with you ? " " Theo , I did it because I loved you too much ! Now that Clarisse has divorced you , we can be a happy family now - you , me , and the baby ! I'm the one who's right for you ! " she cried , clinging to whatever scraps of hope she had left Chapter 13 Theodore looked at her as if she were filth . With a shove , he flung her to the floor like she was nothing . Then , he called out to the bodyguards , " Take her to the pool . "
