Claire’s finger stopped on the woman sitting directly beside Anna.
Anna slowly turned.
Her face collapsed.
“Rachel?”
Rachel couldn’t look at her.
She had been Anna’s closest friend at the company for seven years.
Ryan stood quickly.
“It wasn’t an affair.”
Anna laughed once through the shock.
“You shared a hotel room with my husband.”
Rachel’s eyes filled.
“Not for what you think.”
Claire slid another document across the table.
A hospital receipt.
Anna looked down.
Her husband’s name was on it.
So was Rachel’s.
“What is this?”
Ryan whispered,
“Anna…”
Rachel finally spoke.
“I was pregnant.”
The room went silent.
Anna stared at her husband.
“You got her pregnant?”
Rachel immediately shook her head.
“No.”
Anna looked confused.
“Then why was Ryan at the hospital?”
Rachel reached into her folder and pulled out an ultrasound photo.
Her hands were shaking badly.
“Because he knew who the father was.”
Anna frowned.
“Who?”
Rachel looked toward Claire.
And Claire’s anger suddenly disappeared.
Ryan closed his eyes.
Anna noticed.
“Why are all of you looking at Claire?”
Claire swallowed hard.
Then whispered,
“Because the man Rachel was meeting in Room 814…”
She looked directly at Anna.
“…was your brother.”
