“I don’t think Tyler said those things.”

“He mentioned how he’d boast in the locker room about taking you to some private spot and get you to give it up for him. That he showed the guys a key chain you had to prove you had done the deed.”

The Hello Kitty key chain. Maybe Tyler wasn’t lying about having the wrong number. How would Keaghan know about the key chain or our special spot if Tyler hadn’t said anything?

I felt sick to my stomach and it wasn’t because of the baby.

There was a knock at the door. Cara got up and when she opened it, there was a man and woman there. They were from Gloss Magazine. I took a few fortifying breaths and stood, smiling as they came inside.

Once the introductions were over and the photographer took a few shots, we sat down for the interview.

“I.D., it was a surprise to the world when you became engaged to your high school sweetheart, Dr. Tyler Ferguson. Were you as surprised as we were when he proposed?” the woman asked.

Thoughts of Tyler shoving his grandmother’s ring on my hand popped up in my head. The irritation on his face that he had to even be fake engaged was causing my blood to boil. I thought it was sweet when he gave me her ring and now, I knew it was another ploy just to mess with me.

“Not as surprised as I was when I found out I was pregnant. I’m due in June.” I plastered the biggest smile on my face.

Cara’s mouth fell open, as did the reporters.

I didn’t care about their reaction. All I wanted was to see Tyler’s face when he realized he was going to have to own up to his actions this time.
