A furious voice echoed in my ear, “No! Debbie is my fiancée. You don’t have the right to be her boyfriend!”
When I realized it was Jimmy, I felt an inexplicable wave of anger wash over me. Almost instinctively, I pulled myself out of his grip.
After steadying myself, I glared at his infuriatingly smug face. While gritting my teeth I scolded, “Jimmy, what on earth are you doing?”
“I thought I had made it clear to you that we’re over. Are you sick? Are you coming all the way here just to disgust me?” I added. Jimmy snorted coldly. He crossed his arms as

he looked me over, fully at ease. “Enough with the act. You‘ re only pretending to break up with me because you wanted me to rush over here and bring you home.”
“Well, I’m here, just like you wanted. Don’t act like you’re innocent. If you’re putting on too much of a show, it’ll get annoying.”
I was amused by his confident demeanor and a surprising calmness came over me instead. “Jimmy, who gave you the confidence. Who told you that I would ever want to marry you?” I asked.
I turned around and took Jordan‘ s hand, then looked earnestly into his eyes. “It’s an honor to be your girlfriend.”
At my words, a crack appeared in Jimmy’s

calm facade. He couldn t maintain nis composure anymore as panic set in. He stumbled forward and reached out to grab my arm. However, the look of icy disdain I shot him made him stop in his tracks, his expression frozen in shock.
For the first time, he appeared genuinely flustered. It was a stark contrast to his usual
collected self.
“Debbie, please stop this. I know you‘ re mad at me, but Rayna and I are truly innocent. The wedding was fake, just a PR stunt to help her image,” Jimmy pleaded.
Rather than immediately refuting his pathetic and weak excuse, I smiled, pulled out my phone and showed him a photo I had deliberately kept.
“Well then, you‘ re not going to tell me this

pregnancy report is fake, are you?” I asked him.
Seeing the report on my phone screen, all the color drained from Jimmy’s face. His lips trembled as he stammered his explanation, “Debbie, I can explain. It was… an accident. Rayna seduced me when I was drunk and … it only happened once, I swear! I never thought she’d actually get pregnant.”
“If you come back with me, I’ll make sure she gets rid of the baby. Trust me, I won’t let her interfere with our life!”
My gaze shifted past him as I noticed someone approaching him from behind. I couldn’t hold back a laugh. “You might want to save those promises for your new
bride.”

Right on cue, Rayna stepped up to Jimmy. Her rounded belly was bulging. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she grabbed his sleeve. She looked hurt and betrayed.
“Jimmy, how can you say that? You and I were both willing participants. You told me that just the sight of Debbie‘ s prosthetic leg made you sick, that you’d rather die than touch her.”
“You said I was the only one who could fulfill your dreams of a perfect wife! Weren’t you the one who promised that once our baby is born, you’d make sure Debbie is out of the picture for good?”
“Silence!” Jimmy roared.
In full view of everyone, the enraged Jimmy raised his hand and slapped Rayna across her face. The force was hard enough that it

“Silence!” Jimmy roared.
In full view of everyone, the enraged Jimmy raised his hand and slapped Rayna across her face. The force was hard enough that it caused her to stagger back and fall to the ground.
“If you dare spout any more nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth apart!” Jimmy yelled.
“I told you to disappear abroad and never show your face to Debbie again! You‘ ve got some nerve, showing up here and tracking my every move!”
