Chapter 554
Gavin’s POV
“Pregnant?” Both Rachel and I said at the same exact time.
“How is that possible?” I asked, my eyes darting to Rachel. “Who had you been with since coming here?”
“Are you serious right now??” She asked, her cheeks flushing. “Do you seriously think I had been with anybody other than you??”
“We didn’t…” I started to say, but she held up her hand, her eyes growing colder.
“You literally woke up naked with me in bed next to you,” she said, cutting me off. “Don’t you remember our time at The Grand Hotel?”
I felt bile rising up in my throat. I was still convinced that Judy was the one I had been with that night, but when I woke up, it was Rachel’s naked body that was beside me, and her marks all over me that branded me for a few days. I was glad that they were finally gone, but now it seems we have an even bigger problem at hand.
“No, even if that’s true, I’m always careful,” I say, refusing to believe that I got Rachel pregnant.
“We were so drunk,” Rachel said. “Neither of us was careful that night, Gavin.”
“From the results, it seems she’s a little over 2 weeks pregnant,” Dr. Peirce continued, her eyes fixed on the file and not at all on our faces.
“See?” Rachel said, a smirk on her face. “That’s the same time as the Grand Casino Hotel.”
“Excuse me for a minute,” I said, turning and walking towards the door.
“Gavin, where do you think you are going?!” Rachel asked, annoyance clear in her tone.
“I need to make a phone call,” I told her over my shoulder without looking back.
Once I was in the hallway, I let out a breath I hadn’t known I was holding. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone. I brought up Taylor’s contact number and clicked the call button, bringing the phone to my cheek.
“Alpha,” Taylor greeted on the phone; he knew right away that this wasn’t a personal call.
“I need you to find out everything you can about that night at the Grand Casino Hotel,” I ordered.
There was silence on the other end for a moment.
“When you went there for that meeting a few weeks ago?” Taylor asked.
I hadn’t told Taylor the entire story from that evening. I suppose now I should do just that.
“Yes,” I replied. “Something happened that night, and I think it’s coming back around to bite me in the ass.”
“Want to enlighten me and tell me what happened?” He asked. “I need to know what it is I’m looking for.”
“As you know, we had an important meeting with important shareholders, and something happened with our ride, where needed to leave. I sent out a memo
seemed to have misplaced my phone shortly after and didn’t hear anything back from anyone. Rachel and I went to the bar to get a drink, and I got way too drunk off one scotch…”
requesting another ride, but me Pone
“One scotch got you drunk?” Taylor asked; I could hear him typing away, so I knew he was taking notes. The typing had stopped for a minute as he asked that question.
“Yes,” I told him. I knew that was
weird as well, but I was so wrapped up in what happened the next morning, hadn’t really thought. about the evening as a whole. The rest of the night was kind of a blur after that. But I remembered Judy being there. I remembered the feel of her body pressed against mine, the sound of her breathy moans… the taste of her-”
“Okay, don’t need that many details,” Taylor interrupted. “Get to the end of it.”
I rolled my eyes.
“I woke up the next morning with
Rachel in my bed instead of Judy. We were both naked, and I had hickeys all over my body. She had hickeys all over her as well tha knew were from me. Her perfume was all over the suite, though I could still smell the lingering séent of Judy as well, so I knew she was there.”
“Did you talk to Judy about it?”
“Of course I talked to Judy about it,” I snapped. “She denies being there. I don’t know why she’s denying it, but she’s adamant about keeping it from me. I decided not to push her, and I just walked away.”
“That was stupid,” Taylor muttered as he continued to type on his computer. “What time was the meeting again? 6 pm?”
“Yes.”
