wasn't exactly shocked when Tanya showed up. What did catch me off guard? The fact that she actually came to my job, instead of lurking outside my apartment or waiting at my door.

It was obvious why she was here-Jace, of course.

But I didn't have time for her drama, so I told my assistant to handle it. "Tell her I'm not available."

Yet, when I stepped outside after work, guess who was still there? Yep, Tanya.

"Ms. Kay, she's been waiting half the day. She hasn't even touched the water we gave her, and she's pregnant. If something happens to her, it'll look bad," the receptionist warned me, clearly nervous. Great. Tanya was pulling the classic guilt trip move, trying to force me into meeting her.

But I wasn't about to fall for it. If I gave in now, she'd make it a regular thing.

"If something happens, it's not our problem. Let her wait if she wants to." I breezed right past her without a second glance.

*Keira!" Tanya's voice sliced through the air, loud enough to make me freeze.

It was rush hour, and her shout had already drawn eyes from the crowd.

She marched right up to me, blocking my way. She was wearing this flimsy white maternity dress, her belly just starting to show, face flushed from how hard she'd been yelling. "Why are you scared to see me?" she snapped, her tone full of bitterness.

Scared? I almost laughed. "Why would I be scared? I didn't steal your man. I just... don't want to see you. Her eyes flickered, playing the pitiful act she was so good at. 'You're guilty.' I frowned.

"Why did you go running to Jace? Why are you still around him when you guys broke up?" Her voice got louder, almost desperate.

People love a good scandal, especially when it's two women arguing over a guy. A small crowd had already started to form, ready for the drama.

I knew exactly what Tanya was doing. She'd done it before-caused a scene, dragged Jace into it, and by the end of the day, everyone knew she was his 'one and only."

But this time, Jace wasn't here. So, what was she planning?

1 had no idea, but I knew one thing: she wanted to destroy me.

Her few words had already stirred the crowd, whispers and side glances starting to spread.

I stepped closer, and Tanya tensed up like a cornered animal. But she didn't back down, Nope, she stood her ground and shifted right back into her classic damsel-in-distress routine.

"Keira, please," she begged, placing a hand on her belly "Just leave Jace alone. For the baby's sake.

Wow. She was really milking this whole pregnancy thing. First, she used the baby to control Jace, and now

she was trying to use it to ruin me, making me look like the homewrecker in front of this whole crowd.

I could feel the judgmental stares already.

I knew what would come next-she'd probably pull some dramatic fainting stunt or break down in fake tears, and by tomorrow, the whole building would be buzzing with rumors about how I was trying to wreck her family. Yeah, it'd be a mess. But it wasn't going to help her either.
