Babies' Secret: My Ex Wants Me Back! - Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Amanda stared at her phone screen, her chest thumping quickly. The designer clock on the wall blinked 10:37 p.m., but sleep was nowhere in her eyes-she was wide awake. She hadn't been able to calm herself down since the day in Katherine's office. She glanced at her yet-faded finger-the grip that Katherine held her with that day bruised and arched, and it had yet to fade away. She hissed quietly and pulled the phone closer, fingers trembling slightly as she scrolled through her contacts.

Her thumb hovered over Brenda Knight's name, teeth gnawing at her lower lip as her stomach churned-it was only her who could help her right now. She gulped and pressed the call button. The phone rang twice before an irritated, curt Brenda's voice answered. "Amanda." Amanda didn't bother with greetings. She didn't call for greetings. She needed help as she clutched her phone tighter to her ear. Her voice was tense and shaky. "He knows." There was silence for a moment before Brenda's voice came through, cold and slightly annoyed. "Knows what?" Amanda swallowed, wetting her lower lip.

"About the twins." The line went silent again as Amanda stood in the middle of her room, pacing as her heart thudded in her chest. "I heard it, Brenda. With my own ears. I heard him.

Amanda blinked, not hearing anything from Brenda but could hear her shallow breathing on the other end. She too must be shocked, right? "I thought-" Amanda bit her nail, dragging her hand through her hair, pulling at the strands.

"You told me she was a whore," she said, remembering Brenda had once mentioned it before. But what if Brenda was totally wrong? "You said she slept with men to get pregnant. You told me she seduced him and that she wasn't worth anything." Amanda stopped pacing, her legs trembling beneath her. "But those kids-his kids-he knows now. And he's not even hiding it." Brenda's voice was still eerily quiet. "Explain." Amanda's voice turned frantic as her hands moved, gesturing her frustration. "He's always with her, Brenda! I've seen it with my eyes-he always watches her.

Sometimes he returns to the suite late, and I saw the gift he bought." Amanda's voice quivered as she slumped onto the edge of her bed, pressing her palm to her forehead worriedly. "Only a little time before he would say he wants the kids and Katherine back." The last statement came out of her mouth like venom, punching her in the gut, a reality check for her as her chest heaved. Brenda finally responded, but her tone was far from calm. "So you are telling me my son is now a father and didn't tell me?" she muttered bitterly. "He kept it from me..." Amanda's voice rose again. "Exactly!
