Forever in my Heart: Book 3 in My Heart Series by Aleya Michelle Page A

one night and like I said it meant nothing, it’s a blur really to be honest,” I confess to her and it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.
    “We were broken up Kade. It’s okay, I was with Dylan, I can’t hold that against you baby,” this unbelievable angel before me says, trying to make me feel better.
    “I-I know that, b-but there’s more, Rox,” I stutter my confession to her.
    “The girl I slept with is here in Manly and she came to see me at work,” I explain to the one woman I swore I would never hurt again, and from the look on her face, I’ve broken that promise already.
    “Why would she visit you at work? Bloody slut, does she know you have a girlfriend?” Roxy interrogates me as she starts to look angrier by the minute.
    “Yes, she knows. She has a boyfriend too, but she came to see me because she had to tell me something, Rox.” I can feel my palms sweat, and my nausea increases.
    “Cut to the chase Kade, what could she possibly have to tell you?” Roxy pleads with me looking confused, but then like a lightning strike she figures it out.
    “No, don’t tell me Kade. She can’t be, she’s not?” Her voice sounds shaky with disbelief.
    “I’m so sorry Roxy, she says she is pregnant,” I finally confess to her. I feel like I may cry, telling my one true love that someone else might be having my baby. I feel goddamn rotten .
    “She is adamant it’s mine as she wasn’t with her boyfriend at the time, but I don’t trust her Roxy,” I announce to her, she needs to know all of the details to wrap her head around it.
    “I told her I didn’t believe her though and she needs a paternity test, I need proof, she won’t be getting one single thing from me until I know for certain. Roxy you have no idea how unbelievably sorry I am. I don’t even remember the sex, just waking up in her bed, then I crept out,” I divulge more information to her.
    I gaze at Roxy’s face and find it’s extremely pale, her mouth is in a deep frown, and her eyes are glassy, she looks like she might cry or pass out. I really hope not either.
    “Kade, I really don’t know what to say. I mean I assumed you would have had sex, but this? This is insane! Haven’t you heard of ‘wrap it before you tap it’? Jesus, Kade, I’m more pissed than anything,” she proclaims her voice still shaky, the anger evident in her raised tone.
    “I’m so fucking pissed at myself you have no idea, Rox, but it’s not one hundred percent mine. I wish I could remember if I did use a condom or not.”
    “So what does she want from you then?” she questions me the million dollar question that I’m still not sure about myself.
    “I’m not entirely sure, she just let me know she’s ten weeks pregnant and said she would be in touch with more information,” I openly tell her all of the details.
    Roxy slowly takes a few deep breaths.
    “Talk to me Rox, scream at me, hit me, throw something at me baby; I deserve it.” I totally hate myself right now for hurting her again.
    She looks up and shakes her head, and then she throws a chip at me, that breaks the ice and makes me smile.
    “I am hurt Kade, the fact that this fucking woman might be the mother of your first born child hurts like a knife in my heart in all honesty,” she confesses to me and it cuts deep in my chest.
    “It’s going to take me time to wrap my head around it Kade. But it’s not like you cheated on me, or you have tried to hurt me on purpose. I love you Kade and unless you want me to go, I’m not going anywhere,” she remarks and I am in awe of her integrity and dedication to our relationship.
    “Far out. How did I get so lucky? Roxy, thank you for being so open-minded; this is tearing me up inside and I dreaded the thought of you walking away. If we have each other baby, we can tackle any obstacle together,” I point out to her as I pull her body flush to mine for a loving embrace that makes her smile. Even though a tear falls down her
