Lana walked into the bar, meeting up with Lancelot at the quiet spot where they'd agreed to meet.

She looked around, and thankfully, there were no familiar faces.

Her hands were clammy with sweat. It was the third day-Lancelot's given deadline to reveal the truth to Kage.

Lana had been restless ever since.

When

she called to meet up with him, she was grateful he even agreed to show up at all.

"Hey,

Lani." He i." He gave her a head-to-toe stare, "You look good. Is it the baby hormones?"

Lana's stomach recoiled with disgust. She hated the guy and hated herself for having anything to do with him.

She really didn't know who the father of the child was yet, but she hoped to God it wasn't his. t be here for long,"

"Good. Because | actually have somewhere else to be. I'm meeting with a woman." He flashed a flirty smile.

"Listen." He placed a hand on her shoulder. "It'll be worse if you get married to Kage and he finds out months

It was all Lana could do not to retch. God, she hated this guy. Hated what he was doing to her. Was he out of his

Kage would never understand if she told him about it prior to the wedding. He was going to call it off-she was

sure of it. So, Lancelot's suggestion wasn't even an option.

She swallowed hard, facing him. "What do you want?" Her voice was lower now, like she was saying a secret.

"Just tell me. Please."

Lancelot laughed. Hard.

Hold on, love. You're marrying into my family 'cause we're rich. A member of the Hawkins, remember? There's no
