The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 234

It was already eleven at night. Most of the lights in the apartment building had gone out, leaving Catherine’s place quiet and still. She was already in bed, just planning to chat with Aaron for a bit before falling asleep.

But then, Aaron said something that sent shockwaves through her calm.

Her mind buzzed. It was like a sharp pain shot straight through her head and made her ears ring.

“What did you just say?”

“I was the one who covered for you that time. Otherwise, how could Lance have no clue?”

Aaron had seen Catherine slip out before Lance left that night. He’d known right away that she wanted to pretend nothing happened.

So when Lance asked him the next day, “Did anyone come into my room?”

“No,” Aaron had replied without missing a beat. Then he added, “Last night, someone hacked the hotel’s internet and played a bunch of dirty videos. It woke up half the guests. Did it bother you?”

Dirty videos?

Lance was convinced that what he’d seen—the wild, heart-pounding scene from last night—was real. He remembered his hands gripping a woman’s waist...

“Aaron.” Catherine shot upright in bed, pressing her fingers into her forehead. Her heart was racing so hard she could barely breathe.

If word got out that she was pregnant, Aaron would be the first to realize the baby was Lance’s.

“Relax. I promise, I won’t tell anyone. It was just an accident, and I haven’t said a word to anybody.”

Aaron understood that Catherine wanted to keep things quiet. Lance and Adelina were about to get married, after all.

Still, Catherine’s brow was red from how hard she was pinching it. She just couldn’t calm down.

There really is no such thing as a secret that never gets out.

“I hope you can spend the rest of your life pretending none of this ever happened.”

That was all Catherine could say before she hung up, her voice tired and resigned.

The whole call had only lasted a few seconds, but she broke out in a cold sweat. When she lay back down, her long hair stuck to her forehead and cheeks. Her dark eyes glimmered in the darkness, full of restless worry.
