, If that car had hit, Haley's baby would have been done for., Although Fiona wouldn't admit the kid was hers, Conrad swore up and down it wasn't his, claiming it was Aiden Martin's posthumous child., If something happened, the Martin family line would be truly cut off., My heart skipped a beat, and on instinct, my legs carried me over there., Fanny, who was closest, knew the stakes too, and grabbed Fiona,

"My lady, you can't do this.

", Haley exploded,

"Let her hit me. It's her own grandson. If she does it, the Martin family line ends with her.

",

"And you're saying this child belongs to our family? I'll make it clear today, we'll see if this kid is really a Martin,

" Fiona was beside herself.

"Fine, then you'll see for yourself if he's a Martin or not,

" Haley retorted, pushed to her limit., I didn't want to get involved, but a child's life was at stake, especially one left by a departed soul., I rushed over and grabbed Haley, who was all fired up,

"Do you really care so little for this child?

" Haley paused, her face turning an even deeper shade of red.,

"Come with me,

" I said, pulling her away.,

"Who are you? You can't take her from me. Today she pays for my son's life,

" Fiona was frantic., I glanced at Fanny, who was holding onto Fiona,

"Ma'am, if your son was wronged, we can seek justice through legal means. This isn't the way, and it'll only cost you more.

", Fanny had a way with words, and today I saw it first-hand., That only fueled Fiona's rage,

"My only son is gone, no one to mourn me when I die. I've had enough of living.

", She was on a suicide mission.,

"Let's go,

" I said to Haley in a low voice., This time she followed me, and as we turned a corner, leaving Fiona's curses behind, I finally let Haley go., Her hair was a mess, her face marked by a slap, her lip bleeding. It was a pitiful sight., There's a saying,

"Every pitiful person has their detestable side.

" This was her just deserts for causing Aiden's death.,

"Do you think I deserve this?

" Haley suddenly asked me., I scoffed,

"Yes.

", Haley's eyes flashed with anger, and I smirked,

"Aiden's life isn't something you can compensate with a few slaps.

", Haley trembled, her voice shrill,

"It was his accident, why blame me?

", She truly didn't think it was her fault, felt no guilt over Aiden's death. That was a life lost., Because of her betrayal., While I didn't know the depth of Aiden's feelings for her, the fact that her betrayal led him to such despair, even to his death, was enough to prove how deeply he loved her. , And what did his love get him?, Her betrayal, her lack of remorse, and her attempts to erase the only part of him left in this world., In that moment, I felt a profound sense of injustice on behalf of Aiden. He should never have loved such a woman, much less died for her., A sudden rage overwhelmed me,

"If it wasn't for your affair with Conrad, would Aiden have had that accident?

", I left Haley speechless, her mouth trembling, unable to retaliate, just glaring.,

"Haley, I know you don't want this, child because it stands in the way of, your so-called bright future. But let me remind you, without this child, Conrad wouldn't spare you a second glance,

" I warned fiercely. , Haley looked as if I had slapped her her complexion turning from red to pale,

"What right do you have to say, how could you possibly know, what Conrad feels for me? , Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
