Charlotte's hand froze, her glass hovering above the table, as Zachary's words hung in the air. She slowly set her glass down, her eyes locked on his, and asked, "What did you just say?"
Zachary stood up and said, "If Eliana is truly pregnant, then the child is mine."
"You are joking, there is no way Eliana is pregnant with your child. The two of you barely even speak to each other." Amber said shakily.
Zachary looked at Amber and said, "Eli and I..."
"Eli? You already have a nickname for her." Amber laughed in disbelief, and angry eyes gazed at Eliana, who stood quietly and in anger, she poured her wine on Eliana's face and said, "You pretend to be polite and to be good when you are nothing but a whore who sleeps with her sister fiance, were you that jealous of me?"
"Jealous of you? What a joke." Eliana sneered, and it angered Amber to the point she lost her composure and rushed toward Eliana with her fork.
Ryan immediately held her hand and collected the fork from her, holding her tightly from killing her sister.
"Behave yourself, Amber! Can you not see how you are embarrassing yourself right now?" Henry spoke harshly. He looked at Eliana and said, "I am disappointed in you."
Eliana scoffed and replied, "You say it as if it's some breaking news."
"Slapping you is not enough punishment for your mistakes," Sloane said spitefully.
"Slapping her will also make you unable to use your hands in the future," Zach replied. He stood in front of Eliana and said, "Why are you all blaming just Eliana for our affair? After all, it takes two to tangle, right?"
"So are you proud of sleeping with two sisters?" Charlotte coldly asked her son.
Ryan let go of Amber after she had already calmed down and looked at Eliana. Did his brother get captivated by this woman?
Zach's eyes landed on Amber as he asked, "Have we ever slept together?"
"What?" Amber asked in disbelief.
Zach sighed and said "Eli and I met two years ago in Fio City. We met at a club, got drunk, and spent the night together. It was supposed to be a one-night thing, but it became more than that. At first, I never knew she was your sister, and when I found out, I still couldn't help wanting her."
Amber clenched her fist, looked at the both of them and said, "You both disgust me. I'm out of here."
"Amber wait!" Sloane shouted and rushed after Amber.
Henry just let out a deep sigh, looked at Eliana, and shook his head. "Let's meet some other time, Mrs. Sanders."
Charlotte only nodded and didn't bother to see them off. She looked at Eliana and asked, "Why aren't you leaving with them?"
"Eli will leave with me," Zach replied.
"Wow Zach, I am impressed. I have always thought that you were a wise man, but even you got trapped by a gold digger. I am disappointed in you." Florence said, shaking her head in disappointment.
"And who are you to be disappointed in my son, Florence?" Charlotte asked coldly.
"It is because you spoil your children so much that is why....."
"If I needed an opinion on how to raise my kids, do you think I would ask you? You, who couldn't even handle your son, or should I remind you how many times I have bailed him out of trouble? Worry about your kids and know your place. Dinner is over, Jules will see you out." Charlotte said and stood up from her seat.
She looked at both Eliana and Zach "You can stay the night."
"No need," Zach replied.
"Brother, will you not stay under the same roof as me?" Ryan asked with a pout.
Zach sighed and said "Fine."
Charlotte left after hearing his answer, but no one noticed the sigh of relief that left her after Zach agreed to stay the night.
.....
Immediately Amber entered her room, she screamed in anger and broke whatever she sighted.
Sloane rushed into the room and saw the damage. There was broken glass on the floor and Amber sat close to it with tears streaming down her eyes
"My little girl, you are bleeding." The Sloane's voice trembled with concern.
"She took him, she took him away from me, Mom, and now she is even pregnant with his child. It is because of her that he has always refused to touch me." Amber said, sobbing sadly.
Sloane immediately embraced her daughter and said, "It's okay. She hasn't taken anything away from you. Zach is still yours and will always be yours. You both will get married as planned, and she will just be known as a home wrecker."
"I wanted to be the one he loves, but you saw the way he defended her, right? And the way he looked at her, Zach has never looked at me like that. All I wanted was Zach and now even he no longer belongs to me."
"So will you give up? Your marriage with Zach has been a done deal even before you were born." Sloane said.
"But it was with Eliana. You were pregnant with Eliana and not me."
"And Henry and I decided that you, and only you, will be known as our biological child, and that means it was with you. Zach belongs to you."
"Not anymore. She is the one carrying his child, I have accepted my defeat at the hand of the legitimate daughter."
"She may be pregnant, but a lot of miscarriages usually take place at the early stage of pregnancy," Sloane said
Amber looked at her mother with a teary face and asked "What do you mean by that?"
"You shouldn't think too much about it, but remember what is yours cannot be taken away from you, and Zachary Sanders is yours."
