And if you show uphere again, I’ll get a restraining order against you.”With a flick of her head, Claire gave him a smug look, her lips painted too glossy a red, herhair too perfectly coifed, and her fuck-me heels impossibly tall. How he’d ever fallen into her trap,he hadn’t a clue. He might be a doctor, but he needed to get his goddamned head checked. “You can’t,Marshall. Not when I deserve to be part owner of this company. And by the time my lawyer’s throughwith you, you’ll be lucky if I don’t take everything you own away from you in the divorce. Just youwait.”“You don’t own any part of this company until the courts say you do. So in the meantime,Claire—getthe fuck out.”Marshall couldn’t believe she was going to try to steal his company fromhim, especially when she’d spent their time “together” screwing his friend and colleague at thehospital, while he busted his ass to build Clio from nothing.He’d have never found out she was cheating on him, if it hadn’t been for one of his surgeriesgetting canceled at the very last minute. He’d come home to find her getting fucked on the dining roomtable by Dr. Luke Bingham. It’d been the final straw in what was already a miserable marriage,especially when he found out that they’d been sneaking around behind his back before they’d evensaid their marriage vows. That was probably the most infuriating part about it all: the fact that thingsbetween them had been nothing but a lie from the very start, doomed to fail.And he fucking hated failure.He just hadn’t seen through her act until it was far too late—and it had truly been an Oscar-worthy performance. She’d set him in her sights from the moment she heard the word “doctor” andhad milked it for all he was worth, playing the part of the dotting girlfriend. Once they were married,she’d withdrawn and put the blame on him, even if he’d done all he could to make her happy—notthat their marriage had ever stood a chance when it’d been nothing but a lie. And once he’d caught hercheating, she’d dropped the act and shown him the true person he’d married.“So nice of you to use vulgarities when speaking to the mother of your child.” She gave him asmug smile, one hand on her hip as she rubbed her belly with the other. “Becauseit is yours,Marshall. So you better be careful, or you’ll never get to see your child. I’ll make damn sure of it.”Rage and hatred roared in his chest, even as doubt and confusion clouded his mind. Had hereally been stupid enough to sleep with her again? He couldn’t fucking believe he’d do such a thing.Not in a million years after what she’d put him through.But the truth was, he didn’t remember much of that night, and he half suspected he’d beendrugged. She’d come over upset about the divorce and had seemed conciliatory and apologetic.They’d had a glass of wine because she’d wanted a drink, and then…he had no clue. He’d awoken inhis bed the following morning with a killer headache, and Claire was nowhere to be found.The last thing he’d have guessed was that they’d slept together. And maybe they hadn’t. Itcould just all be a ploy to make his life miserable until he could prove that the child wasn’t his. In alltheir time of dating and being married, she’d always insisted on using a condom. Would she reallychange her ways? Unless her plan had been to get pregnant.“I’m done arguing with you, Claire. I’ve already wasted too many years on you, and I’m notgoing to waste another fucking day.” Marshall picked up the phone and called security, not wanting torisk putting his hands on her even if it was just to escort her out of the building, since he knew she’dsomehow twist it around in the courts. “Security is on their way, so unless you want them tophysically drag your sorry ass out of here, I suggest you get moving under your own steam.”“That’s fine, since this place will be mine soon enough.” With a glare, she hiked her designer
