Chapter 15
Clay had been working incessantly, even refusing several dates with Riley.
She wasn’t upset; she occasionally sent messages and photos from home, reassuring him that she was resting and taking care of herself.
Clay didn’t suspect anything.
That was until the day Zane suddenly sent a secret photo taken at a nightclub VIP lounge.
In the dim, suggestive light, Riley was entwined with a handsome man, their lips locked in a passionate kiss, their teeth and tongues entwined. The man’s hand was boldly slipping into her clothes.
“Clay, as a former close friend, this is my last warning: Riley’s not a good person. Even pregnant with your child, she would still be flirting with other men.”
“If you have another accident, lose your usefulness, she’ll abandon you without hesitation, move on to someone else, maybe even try to ruin you.”
“If you insist on being blind and stubborn for her, then I think there’s no point in us remaining friends anymore,” Zane’s message was laced with frustration.
Clay stared at the photo repeatedly, his eyes bloodshot and almost tearing.
Why would she still be flirting with other men when she was carrying his child? Had he not been. good enough to her these days?
He had forgiven her past mistakes and sacrificed so much for her. Why was she still hurting him like this?
Rage consumed him, and he quickly typed out a reply:“Send the location; I’m coming.”
After receiving the location, Clay arrived as quickly as possible.
Outside the VIP lounge, he radiated an icy, bone–chilling aura. Zane instinctively took a few steps back, wary of being caught in the crossfire.
Inside, the two remained oblivious to the world, their lips locked in an intense kiss, deepening further.
Riley skillfully adjusted her breathing, clinging to the kiss, her fingertips lingering on the man’s toned waist and abdomen.
“Mm…Riley…is this okay?”
The man’s fingers crept under her dress, poised to go further.
As soon as she gave her consent, he would immediately strip her of all her clothes and take her completely.
“No! My baby isn’t stable yet!”

Didn’t you promise me before? Once my baby is born healthy, then I’ll consider being with you,” he said firmly.“This child is my treasure, my top priority.
Seeing her so resolute, David David didn’t push further. He simply held her, breathing heavily. Mm…I know. It’s our baby. As a father, I’ll take care of him. He must be born healthy.”
Liley impatiently pushed him away, wiping her hands with a wet wipe, showing a hint of disgust. Whether it’s yours or Clay’s, it’ll be Clay’s publicly. Remember? The Ford family fortune is nine, and I also want the Sterling family’s assets.”
Her eyes flashed with ruthless determination.
Maya is too naive, always blindly flattering Clay and wasting so much on him. She deserves it,” he sneered.
Whether she returns to Clay or not, I’m having this child. Only my child will be Clay’s. When he time comes, everything from the Sterling family will be mine. David, are the medications you prepared ready? After I give birth to this child, I’ll need to use them for Clay. Don’t delay my
lans.”
