"You should hate me."
•What? She was asking if he wanted to give it another shot? If he wanted a baby?What the heck? Why was she asking him if he wanted a baby?Théo stayed still and watched her pretty face while she restrained the palpable sadness welling up in her eyes. But he knew she wanted nothing but an honest answer from him. Otherwise, she wouldn't even think of posing the question."A baby? Right now?""Yeah." Veronica nodded faintly, her voice almost a whisper."No," was his muted reply as she stared into his eyes. He squeezed the side of her soft and slim waist, her hands now resting on his shoulders, her dainty fingers touching the short hair above his nape. It only sent more blood down to his groin. "I mean, not really.""Out of the question, then?" His ex immediately glance

His ex glanced away from him and let out a sigh. Before he could come up with a neutral response, she gently pushed him away to resume her bath.Théo got up from the cold floor and tightened the knot of the towel around his hips, hoping she wouldn't look down and notice he

•"I'm moving in. Months before the baby's out."His stare immediately swung back to her face while his hands gripped her hips. "What?"She almost winced.His reply sounded like a loud complaint. How stupid of her to think a pleasant, excited smile and supportive words of encouragement would be his initial reaction to the news..."Yeah. I didn't get fat...just pregnant."Théo took a step back to regard her. His darkened eyes pored into her soul, and now her cheeks felt like they were burning up. He stopped touching her hair and kept staring at her incredulously.××××××××After they almost have sex, she decides to tell him she's pregnant and she had to leave him now to get ready for the music fest the next day and then she would go straight back home to check on Kyle.Théo gets upset that she was more wor
Before she could tell him her big fat secret, they start arguing about Théo avoiding her for weeks and forbeingsecretive and doing drugs, and him telling his mom about the breakup. Their argument continues when Théo tells her he hadn't told his mom that they broke up and Via accuses him of lying and being with Anastasia that weekend they last met up in New York.They argue about Anaand him staying at the house with Ana and her family because Via thinks Théo wants to marry Anastasia. Théo gets more upset when Veronica tells him to leave.Théo accuses her of not giving shit about how he feels and he tells her he was never her priority when they were together because she was always with Kyle, making her think he believes she cheated on him with Kyle.She breaks off the fight and decides to tell him she's pregnant and she had to leave him now to get ready for th

First floor. Almost always empty.It was also Hugo's office and the door was always closed, especially since Hugo had been out of town and absent in the estate for days now.Out of desperation, Théo hatched a new plan. He had less than two weeks left, so time for Plan B. He couldn't exactly climb into one of the windows come nighttime.The estate's security staff were on shifts all day, all night. Too risky. If he got caught by one of the security detail, he might get shot dead. On the spot. So he had to be smart about this one.The property had CCTV cameras installed in every corner and floor as well. Probably Hugo and Alissa Valtieri's preference. He had yet to fi
