- 9.
I left the courthouse and called the private
investigator. “Watch Mark. Get him to come.
<
Then I waited for the ethics committee people
to come out. I gave them my evidence.
“Before, I called the police, but they didn’t do
anything. I have evidence about another case.
Can you give it to the right people?”
“It’s about Mark, an old case. It might help
your investigation.”
They looked at me, curious.
I didn’t explain. I knew they’d understand once
they looked into it.
Sure enough, a week later, they arrested
Shane because of a phone call.
He was a serial killer from years ago, ran
from the law, built a crime empire, and did
whatever he wanted. Now he was in jail.
I knew where he got his money.
From Mark. He was Shane’s brother!
The brother committed murder, the brother
told the brother to run.
To get the money for plastic surgery, Mark
went after me.
A rich heiress with money and never been in a
relationship, so easy to trick.
I wasn’t stupid. When he asked for money, I
said no.
When Mark was chasing me, he was chasing
く
other women too, to get money for his
brother.
Later, Mark wanted to be my kept man, so I
gave in.
For over a decade, I don’t know how he felt
about me, but after last time, I didn’t feel
anything for him.
Shane was in jail, and Mark was furious.
“Leah, you’re doing this to get revenge! I’ll
make you sorry. You’ll be begging me to
forgive you.”
“I’m waiting!”
I rubbed my belly, glad it wasn’t Mark’s kid, or
I’d be disgusted.

I went to the nospital and saw Asniey.
She walked with her nose up high, rubbed her
stomach.
“You’re going to be a grandma. A month
along. The father is your ex–husband!”
I started to laugh.
“I’m having a baby too. Five months!”
Ashley glared, then scoffed. “Oh, some little
bastard that should’ve died. It’s going to be
fatherless.”
I didn’t get angry, I said, “It’s a doctor baby!
Her Mom is just here alone.”
Ashley lost it, called Mark right away.
When Mark got there, Ashley happily gave
him the test results.
Mark looked disgusted, then he slapped
Ashley.
“Slut!”
Then he left, pissed.
I said, “You didn’t know, huh? Mark has slow
swimmers. He can’t have kids!”
Ashley didn’t believe it, then pointed at my
belly.
“In vitro fertilization, with a mix!
“Mark paid me to do it, said the kids would
く
Mark paiu me to uu il, Saiu the kiUS WOUIU
have good jeans.”
Ashley got even more angry, then ran off. She
said, “Enjoy it now! Wait until you go
bankrupt, then we’ll see you happy, ha!”
