? ? ? ? ?

Lauren's heart raced in pure panic.

Had Mitchel found out what he had done? No, no fucking way! She had been so careful. Mitchel couldn't have known. Right now I was just looking for information.

At that moment, Lauren managed to calm down, shook her head vehemently and shouted: -Mitchel, I never hide anything from you. You know me well. How could I lie to you? Why can't you trust me?

When she continued to deny it, Mitchel replied coldly, "That time I came back from Tenassie, the hospital director who examined Raegan is an old friend of your father's. And those anonymous photos I received... Do you want to know who sent them to me? Do I need to say more?

Lauren turned white as a sheet. He never expected Mitchel to dig so deep. However, he could never admit it. If he did, it would be the end of everything.

With tears streaming down her face, she clung to Mitchel's arm and feigned innocence.

«I have no idea what you're talking about. None of this is my doing. You have to trust me. "I would never lie to you."

Mitchel withdrew his arm and moved away from her.

As he listened to Matteo relate all of this, Mitchel felt that his own disbelief was no less than Lauren's current expression.

Was this the same girl who had fought to save him years before, who had lifted his spirits when they were stranded in the water and who had urged him to keep going because the world was beautiful?

Luis was right. Mitchel realized that he had underestimated how far a woman would go for love. If he didn't love her, she could have lost her.

Lauren panicked when she saw the icy look on his face.

«It was Jocelyn's fault, not mine. "I had no idea what he did..."

Lauren tried to defend herself.

Mitchel narrowed his eyes and said in an icy tone, “Just because I dealt with Jocelyn today doesn't mean I believe you, Lauren. I leave you some room for maneuver.

Lauren had ruined every ounce of trust he had placed in her. The innocent and pure girl he once knew was now gone.

Mitchel looked at her and asked, "Do you want me to keep digging?"

The warmth of his eyes was replaced by an arctic cold.

Nervously, Lauren clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.

«Mitchel, you are misunderstanding me. YO…"

“Enough,” said Mitchel, whose patience was wearing thin.

«Your operation is scheduled for next week. You will fly in three days.

«Mitchel, how can you be so cruel to me? Is it all about Raegan?

"She's fine, and Jocelyn has already paid the price." Lauren dropped to the floor, clutched at Mitchel's pants, and weakly pleaded, "You can't do this to me, Mitchel..."

With a swing of his leg, Mitchel shook her off and warned, "Raegan is my bottom."

His words washed over Lauren like a tidal wave. For a moment, she was stunned. Deep down? Those two serious words… Did Raegan really mean that much to Mitchel? Raegan was just a bitch! Why her?

Not wanting to delay even a second longer, Mitchel advised: "You should start packing your suitcase."

Without waiting for his response, he turned to leave.

“Mitchel…” Lauren, in a last effort, rushed to him to grab his hand and, her face flooded with tears, asked: “Are you punishing me for Jocelyn's mistakes? I know I was wrong. Please don't leave me... Without you, I would rather die than continue living.

Before he could touch her hand, Mitchel backed away in disgust and walked away.

On the verge of total collapse, Lauren played her last card.

«Mitchel, if you walk out that door, I won't have surgery. I swear to God.

"I'd rather die than do it."

Arrogant as ever, she firmly assumed that Mitchel would give in when she threatened him with his life. After all, he still thought that she was the one who had saved him years ago.

Mitchel wouldn't stand by if she refused to have surgery, would he?

But in the next second, she knew she was wrong.

Mitchel stopped dead and turned to her.

"You only live once, Lauren. I won't force you to do what you don't want to do. But just so you know, with this operation my responsibility to take care of you ends.

In other words, whether he had surgery or not, his decision would not change.

"That? Lauren exclaimed in shock, her face frighteningly pale.

He looked up and saw the man bathed in moonlight. His good looks were the same, but the warmth she had come to expect was gone.

Now he was a stranger to her.

Without saying anything else, Mitchel turned around and walked away.

"No no!" Lauren screamed hysterically.

Deranged and on the verge of madness, she murmured to herself: “This cannot be. Mitchel won't do this to me. He loves me. "It's all because of that unfortunate Raegan and the baby she's carrying!"

With this thought in mind, his eyes darkened with malice and he clenched his fingers so tightly that they drew blood.

It had to be that Raegan and her baby! How Lauren wished she could skin them all!

Beep. Suddenly, the phone on the table came to life.

Lauren crawled over and picked it up. She didn't even wait for the person on the other end to speak and got straight to the point.

«Change of plan. Mercilessly".

After disconnecting the call, a malicious smile appeared on his face.

Lauren swore to herself that Mitchel could only be hers and hers alone. That bitch Raegan… Her days were numbered!

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Raegan found herself confined to her ward, followed by attendants wherever she went. The constant supervision made him lose the desire to leave the room, so he went to bed early.

He usually turned off the air conditioning before going to bed. However, the room seemed colder than usual, so he opted against it.

In the darkness of the night, he felt something like a warm "oven" next to him. It was warm and comfortable. Furthermore, it gave off a pleasant aroma.

She rolled over, curled up next to the oven, and fell fast asleep.

Meanwhile, Mitchel froze and struggled not to move a muscle.

But Raegan was uneasy. His hands wandered here and there, lighting a fire inside him.

He couldn't do anything but grab her to prevent her from touching him where she shouldn't.

But the next moment, she accidentally brushed his Adam's apple with her lips.

Her soft lips brushed against his most sensitive area, and he tensed almost instantly.

That was the last place she should touch because it turned him on immediately.

Cold sweat broke out on Mitchel's forehead and he almost lost control.

The temptation to give in to desire was overwhelming. Luckily, he still had some self-control left.

Raegan was pregnant and couldn't have sex very often.

If he woke her up now, who knows how long she would be awake? I couldn't let him lose sleep.

Although reluctantly, he endured the temptation and did not succumb to sleep until the first rays of dawn filtered through the window.

As the room brightened, Raegan stretched lazily and enjoyed the feel of the “oven” next to her.

But the next second he realized that something was wrong. He felt some muscles.

She woke up with a start, turned around and found herself wrapped in Mitchel's arms.

What the devil?

Raegan jumped up and pulled a sleeping Mitchel out of bed.

Mitchel landed on the ground with a loud thud.

The man's morning mood was particularly erratic, especially after being touched all night by the woman he was attracted to. Needless to say, I hadn't slept well.

Mitchel was back on the bed in a flash, holding her arms, and smiled slyly.

"Raegan, I think we need to teach you a lesson."
