Kayden froze , that early pregnancy promise suddenly hitting him .
Something twisted in his gut .
Hed already dropped a fortune on her these past two years .
Shed played it cute back then , saying all wealthy wives got push presents .
Hed casually agreed : Fine , five hundred for a girl , a million for a boy .
Now here she was , actually expecting the money minutes after giving birth .
He didnt mind the penthouses , sports cars , designer everything but cash was different .
Hed caught her more than once secretly wiring Ryan money huge amounts that conveniently disappeared .
Hed once found that realness refreshing , so different from his usual social circle .

All shed wanted was his money to bankroll her real life with Ryan and their kid .
She was worse than the gold diggers hed dodged over the years .
At least they hadnt pretended to be anything else .
The realization felt like his chest was caving in .
Then Gabriellas face flashed in his mind the way she used to look at him , with that pure , unguarded love hed been too stupid to appreciate .
