Chapter 46

• Jack’s POV
• The night of Samantha’s press conference replayed over and over in my mind like a bad movie I couldn’t shut off. I sat alone in my penthouse, the city lights stretching out below me, but I barely noticed them. All I could see was her face, the way her voice wavered when she said his name: Louis Martinez is the father of my child.
• It wasn’t true—I knew it wasn’t. Samantha and I had been together, and there was no one else. So why the hell had she said it? She claimed it was to protect us, to protect the baby. But something about the way she’d looked at me afterward, the way she’d avoided my questions, made me wonder if there was more she wasn’t telling me.
