The Baby Trap: Truth Revealed novel Chapter 8

Part 2

The lines started to blur. The long nights at the office, fueled by whiskey and ambition, became my escape. Chloe was always there, a willing listener, a source of comfort and validation I didn't realize I was seeking.

One morning, I woke up in her bed, my head pounding, my stomach churning with a mix of pleasure and shame. I reached for my phone, my fingers hovering over Amelia’s name. I had to tell her, to apologize.

Chloe’s arms wrapped around me, her voice a husky whisper in my ear.

“Don’t tell her, John. It was just a mistake. She doesn’t need to know.”

“But it’s wrong,” I mumbled, my voice thick with guilt.

“No one has to know,” she murmured, pressing a kiss to my shoulder. “It can be our little secret. Just like your drinking.”
