Traversing to Alpha Dad Stuffing Mom into the Suitcase

Chapter 1

[1]

Before the wedding, Darin, inebriated and heart heavy, confided to his friends, "I was in a tight spot, and who knew that message would end up with the wrong person?"

"But maybe it's for the best. Now that Melany knows about the wedding, she's been on her best behavior, not daring to stir up any trouble."

"She needed a wake-up call like this a long time ago!"

"Darin, are you seriously going to marry Jillian? I always thought you hated how she tried to control everything."

Darin raised an eyebrow and smirked, "We haven't even signed the marriage license yet, right?"

"Once the wedding's done, I'll still be the one calling the shots."

I clenched my fists, my heart pounding as I hid the pregnancy test results.

Darin, this time, you won't have the last word.

Just three days before our wedding, I overheard a conversation between Darin and his brother. I was at the club where they were gathering, intending to drop off some stomach medicine for him. Unexpectedly, he drenched me with a bucket of ice water, leaving me shivering during the dog days of summer.

Seething with anger, I tossed the medicine into the trash and headed home. From my bag, I retrieved the hospital test results. I was eight weeks pregnant. This was supposed to be the perfect wedding gift for Darin. But now, it seemed I couldn't give it to him after all.
