Unable to take the anxiety any longer, Raegan finally asked the maid, “Could I borrow your phone for a moment?”
The maid hesitated. Mitchel had made it clear that Raegan was not allowed to leave or contact anyone.
But as Raegan had been in low spirits in the past two days, the maid figured that one phone call would not hurt, especially since it could cheer Raegan up.
With that, she handed over her phone and retreated to the kitchen.
Raegan could not recall Henley’s number, but Nicole’s was etched in her memory. After a chat with Nicole, who was at the hospital with her dad, Raegan was relieved to learn that Henley was alright.
Nicole had just found out about the death of Raegan’s grandmother, and the news had hit her hard. She was already grappling with her father’s illness, and this added another layer of sadness.
“Raegan, why didn’t you tell me? Are we still best friends?”
Raegan bit her lower lip and responded, “I’m sorry, Nicole. It happened so fast I couldn’t bring myself to inform anyone.”
Nicole sighed. She could not really stay angry at Raegan.
“Look, what kills me is the idea of you going through all of this alone. I should’ve been there with you. It hurts to even think about it.”
Raegan nodded.
“I know.”
They had been friends for years. She understood what Nicole was getting at.
After the phone call, Raegan felt so much better. The maid served her a bowl of soup, which she finished. Then, she went upstairs to get some rest.
Later in the day, as the sky dimmed into twilight, Mitchel arrived after being away for two days.

It was plain as day that he was in a bad mood. Without a word, he stormed up to the second floor.
With a swift kick, he flung the bedroom door open.
Raegan jumped at the sound. Before she could gather her thoughts, he yanked her by the collar and pulled her out of bed.

Raegan almost fell down to the floor, so she gripped Mitchel’s hand and snapped, “What’s your problem?”
Mitchel looked at her, his face dark and gloomy. Raegan felt a shiver crawl down her spine.
“How dare you Lie to me, Raegan!”
Raegan’s heart raced. She wondered if Mitchel had found out the baby was his.
She quickly masked her panic and fired back, “What are you talking about?”
In response, Mitchel hurled a stack of photos at her.
