It was mid-june and Rayne was almost five months pregnant.
Rayne's car came to a stop in front of the ornate gates of Oriana Thompson estate. The iron gates slowly swung open, and she drove up the winding driveway, flanked by manicured lawns and towering trees.
As the car came to a halt in front of the grand house, Rayne exited the car and caught sight of her reflection in the car's glimmering windows.
With a sense of grim fascination, she studied her unfamiliar appearance. Her head was bent; her shoulders hunched forward, as if bracing herself. Her red hair was a mass of untamed curls, hastily pulled into a ponytail because it was easiest, and her pregnancy was unmistakably bulging through her dress.
Liam Thompson's child was making its presence known...
Ignoring her appearance, Rayne stepped away from the car and walked towards the entrance, ready to meet Oriana Thompson, who also happened to be Lilly's mother.
