Harrison froze.
His eyes went huge, mouth hanging open.
It took him a full minute to find his voice again, and when he did it came out like broken glass. “You… didn’t you miscarry?”
Seeing his reaction hit me like a punch to the gut, followed by a wave of bitter irony.
“Oh wow. So you did believe I was pregnant.”
Harrison blinked hard, his eyes darting away–clearly not expecting the question.
And just like that, everything clicked into place.
That day at the hospital, he’d called me pathetic in front of Celeste, said I was delusional for claiming I got pregnant from a dinner.
I thought he genuinely didn’t believe me. But he did.
He remembered that night in D.C. perfectly–remembered fucking me while pretending I was Celeste.
All those cruel words weren’t disbelief. They were damage control, said to keep his precious princess happy.
Ice water flooded my veins, colder than that night he’d left me stranded on the highway.
I stared him down, my voice dropping to a whisper. “Harrison, you really are the piece of shit I thought you were.”
“I figured you were cold, but at least you had some integrity. Turns out you don’t even have the balls to own your mistakes. You threw your own child under the bus just to make that bimbo feel better.”
“You’re not fit to be anyone’s husband. And you sure as hell don’t deserve to be a father.”
Harrison’s face flushed, then paled, as if I’d hit a nerve.
“Cut the self–righteous bullshit!”
“Fine, maybe I believed you were pregnant, but you lost it, right? So what’s this game you’re playing with my parents? What’s your angle?”
I leaned back in my chair, crossing my arms casually.
“I told them I was pregnant. Never said the baby was still… viable.”
“Besides, there are plenty of men in this world. Getting pregnant again wouldn’t exactly be rocket science.”
Harrison caught my drift immediately. His face went nuclear, and he started slamming against the glass like a powder keg ready to blow.
“Vivian! Don’t you fucking dare!”

“You’re gonna let some random asshole knock you up? Pass off his bastard as Whitmore blood? That’s cheating! That’s-”
“You think nobody will figure it out? The Waverlys will cut you off completely when they find out you’re a cheating whore!”
He kept screaming, spit flying onto the glass, completely losing his shit.
I watched him have his meltdown, then spoke up when he finally shut up.
“The Waverly name got dragged through the mud the second I married you.”
“And as for cheating…” I tilted my head. “Harrison, didn’t you and your ‘baby girl‘ already destroy our marriage?”
“When you were playing house with that bitch, did you give a shit that I was your wife?”
“When you beat the shit out of me and left me on a dark road, did you think about those wedding vows?”
“Now you want to preach to me about loyalty? Get fucking real.”
Harrison went dead quiet, chest heaving. His eyes were wild with rage, panic, and something that looked almost like fear.
“You… you can’t do this!”
“That’s the Whitmore bloodline! If you try anything, I’ll fucking destroy you!”
Watching him completely melt down, I decided to go for the kill.
‘You’re in a jail cell, Harrison. What exactly are you gonna destroy?”
‘But hey, you’re not wrong–it’ll be pretty interesting when the Whitmore heir grows up with someone else’s DNA, won’t it?”
Harrison started shaking with fury, then went back to pounding the glass.
‘I’ll kill you! Vivian, I’ll fucking kill you!”
You crazy bitch! I should never have married you!”
The glass rattled under his fists until a guard stormed in.
Hey! Settle down in there!”
Harrison ignored him completely, just kept roaring.
he guard had to drag him back to his seat, and he still wouldn’t stop swearing–his eyes were knives laced with poison, fixed
in me.
stood up and smoothed down my jacket, giving him one last look.
Scream all you want. You’ve got plenty of time.”
walked out of the visiting room, his curses muffled by the heavy door.
uddenly, something warm hit the back of my hand.
looked down, surprised to realize tears were streaming down my face.
