Mila's POV
It's been two days since I discovered Alexis's little act, and I still couldn't fathom the fact that she had faked her pregnancy just to keep Angel by her side. How desperate could she be? The revelation felt like a heavy weight pressing on my chest, tightening with every thought. I was caught in a tumultuous whirlwind of confusion, frustration, and anger, wondering how I could have ever underestimated her cunning.
Each moment spent dwelling on her betrayal left me conflicted. I felt like I was trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea, torn between the urge to tell Angel the truth and the fear of the consequences that would inevitably follow. But he has to know the truth, my subconscious screamed, a lifeline in the tumult of my emotions.
