Smiling wryly, I asked, What got you so upset? A DNA test, maybe?
Caleb was bent over, gathering scattered objects from the floor, when my question snagged his attention. He paused momentarily before resuming his task.
I remained silent, observing him closely.
Once he finished tidying, Caleb approached me.

He met my gaze but steered clear of mentioning the test results. Do you trust me? he asked, his voice laced with vulnerability and anxiety.
His question mirrored my own desire. I wanted to trust him completely.
Yet, the recently delivered report stung like a slap.
After a thoughtful pause, I nodded. Yes, I believe you.
A flicker of hope ignited in Calebs eyes. He reached for my hand excitedly.

My face remained impassive as I withdrew my hand. Picking up the test report, I asked calmly, What are you going to do about this.
The smile vanished from his face as quickly as it appeared.
He fell silent for a moment before murmuring, Ive already dispatched someone to investigate Alexandria and Neal. I have a nagging suspicion theyre plotting something.
Plotting? Confusion clouded my voice.
Dont worry, Caleb reassured me with renewed determination. Ill get to the bottom of this. My men are already on it. Well face the results together.
His words caught me off guard.
There will be no more secrets between us, he murmured as he held me close.
My emotions were in turmoil. I decided it was best to wait for the investigations conclusion.
Calebs bodyguards proved to be efficient. They unearthed the truth before noon.
As expected, Neal was the mastermind behind Alexandria getting close to Caleb. He intended to use Caleb as a stepping stone to secure the Vargas familys leadership.
While the revelation fell within our expectations, it did little to quell Calebs anger.
This outcome did little to improve my mood either.
Regardless of Alexandrias motives, the undeniable fact remained-she had slept with Caleb and become pregnant.
However, another truth soon came to light.
Calebs bodyguards discovered that after Calebs departure from the Thorn Edge Pack, Alexandria visited hotels with another man, their stays lasting for several hours each time.
