CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN
“You’re going to make my pregnant ma- wife sleep in this shithole?!” Lucas snarls and the woman frowns, glancing towards Carmine.
“She’s your second wife. Why do you care? At least I’m giving her a place to stay.”
Her words are rude and I wonder why this woman is so prejudiced against a stranger she doesn’t even know.
However, before Lucas and I can say anything, Carmine looks confused, “There is nothing wrong with the room. I honestly don’t understand what all the fuss is about. We’ll get you a mattress-“
I smile at her now, my teeth bared, “Well, since you like it so much, you can take it. Besides, the baby kicks all night if Lucas isn’t nearby.”
Carmine’s eyes flash in fury, “Listen here-“
But Lucas is standing behind me, his arm coming around my waist, his hand settling on my belly, “I have to put my child first. I’m sure you’ll have no problem sleeping in this room by yourself.”
