1 ignored them both and headed straight upstairs . That night , Brandon - who usually couldn't stand the smell of milk - suddenly brought me a glass . " You're in the final stretch now , " he said , voice unusually gentle . " You really need to keep up your calcium and protein . Here you go . " I stared at the glass he handed me , my eyes darkening . " I don't want it . " His smile faltered for a moment , but he quickly masked it , keeping his tone patient and coaxing . " I'm doing this for you - and the baby . Come on , don't be difficult . " Then , without giving me a chance to resist , Brandon tipped the glass and forced the milk down my throat . The sickly - sweet taste clung to my mouth . And before long , a wave of drowsiness swept over me . My limbs grew heavy . My vision blurred . Just before slipping under , I could've sworn I saw several figures standing at the edge of my bed . When I woke up the next morning , every inch of my body ached so badly I could barely move . The moment Brandon left for work , I grabbed my phone and opened the video app . I had bought a hidden camera after leaving the clinic yesterday and placed it inside a flowerpot as soon as I got home . My breath hitched the second I hit play . Shame and fury punched me straight in the chest . On screen , Brandon flung my bedroom door open - his arm wrapped tightly around Madison . " Brandon , are you sure we should be doing this ? " she purred , half - laughing . " I mean ... she's eight months pregnant . " Madison was practically melting against him , her eyes gleaming with satisfaction . Brandon looked down at my sleeping body with ice in his gaze - cold and utterly devoid of feeling . " She's the reason you left in the first place . If she hadn't pushed you away , we never would've Chapter 2 8.11 % spent all that time apart . Now , she gets to learn the price of messing with you . " He waved his hand . A man I'd never seen before walked into the room . " Brandon , isn't this going to mess with the bet ? " he asked , sounding half - amused . Brandon's voice was flat . " She's eight months in . It's already decided . We'll run a DNA test once the baby's out . " The man let out a disgusting chuckle . And then - Madison stepped forward and kicked me . Right in the stomach . " You sure you gave her enough sedatives ? " she asked sweetly , brushing nonexistent lint off her dress . Brandon nodded . " She's been like this for months . Don't worry . She won't wake up . " He turned to Madison and gently tucked her hair behind her ear . " Once she delivers , I'll take the DNA results and throw them in her face . Then I'll brand her a whore and kick her out of the Whitmore family for good . Nothing will stand in our way anymore . " His eyes glinted with something cruel , something sharp enough to draw blood . I couldn't breathe . He wrapped his arms around Madison and the two of them walked out - leaving me lying there , drugged , unconscious , and broken . Tears streamed down my face as I watched it all unfold on the screen . Then , without a moment's hesitation , I took the pills the doctor had prescribed . Just as I was finishing , Brandon's voice rang out from the doorway , sudden and sharp . " What are you taking ? " I met his gaze , calm and composed . " Calcium supplements . " He visibly relaxed and nodded . " Good . Take care of yourself . " He turned and headed upstairs . " I forgot a file . " Chapter 2 8.11 % As soon as he was out of sight , I grabbed the phone he'd left on the table . I punched in Madison's birthday and just like that , the screen unlocked . A full - screen photo of Madison popped up . She was barely clothed , posing like she was shooting a magazine cover . A " tasteful nude , " I suppose . Figures . Of course he'd set up dual systems on his phone - just to keep his dirty secrets separate . I quickly opened his messaging app . The top - pinned chat ? Madison , obviously . Second from the top ? A group chat with all his sleazy little friends . The name of the group ? " Reservation Queue . " Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
