Chapter 74 Desperation's Call

• Jessica's POV.
• I stared at my reflection in the mirror, frustration twisting my features. The pregnancy hadn't changed Williams’ feelings toward me; if anything, it seemed to push him further away. I let out a harsh laugh, feeling rage and bitterness. I thought the baby would make him embrace me with open arms, but all it did was deepen the chasm between us.
• The truth was, I never intended for Williams to be the father. The baby wasn’t his. It was the result of an affair with my ex-boyfriend, who had always been a thorn in my side. Even though I despised him, I couldn’t let go of the emotional hold he had on me. I’d tried to sever ties, but he had a way of worming back into my life, a weakness I couldn't escape.
