“That’s not what Rebecca told Sara.”

“Sara met Rebecca?”

Levi looked shocked, and Mandy squinted at the guy.

It could be that Rebecca had lied, and she figured she’d get to the bottom of it for Sara. That way, when Sara did come home, she would be relieved.

They had spent several hours after the mall on Sunday gazing at the pregnancy test that showed a positive result. Mandy didn’t know what to say to comfort Sara other than hug her and support her. When Sara said she needed time alone and left the house, Mandy figured she’d be back in a few hours.

Now, it was Tuesday, and Sara still wasn’t back.

“Mandy?” Levi’s voice dragged her back to her living room and the big beefy men inside of it. They were all looking at her.

“Yes, Rebecca met Sara on Sunday at the mall, and Rebecca told her that you guys have a long history. Childhood sweethearts. That you two had a tiff and that’s why you slept with Sara.”

Of course, Rebecca hadn’t said those exact words, but Mandy was smart enough to know why the woman had hunted them down in the first place. She’d bet money that Rebecca had deliberately befriended Missy to get to Sara.

“We didn’t have a tiff,” Levi said. “I broke it off with Rebecca two years ago when she took money from my family and flew abroad.”

“What?” Mandy stared at the man.

Rebecca was turning out to be a skank.

“She told Sara she’s pregnant with your baby.”

“What?” Levi’s blood boiled, but he took a deep breath and held onto his anger.

“Is it yours?”

“No,” he growled, squeezing his fists. There would be time later to confront Rebecca.

He turned to Nash. “I think we need to ping Sara’s new phone.”

“Are you asking for permission this time?” Nash said.

Levi grimaced. “Spencer helped me last time.”

“You used Spencer?” Rowan looked offended that he’d used another Aries techie.

“I didn’t want to get you in trouble,” Levi admitted, and Rowan looked a bit mollified.

Nash made a phone call, trying to get the process started because King’s access was screwed up.

Levi knew it could take days, and he gnashed his teeth.

Reaching a dead end almost paralyzed him.

The only thing that helped was the thought that the two men who’d hurt her were dead.

But Chester Miller wasn’t.

And the man could easily hire two more.

Levi pulled his phone out of his pocket and stepped out of Mandy’s house to make the call.

This time, it wasn’t his dad he called, but his mom’s cousin.

“Levi? What’s going on?”
