Uncovering His SECRET Read Online Free Page A

I should’ve known better. Despite his indifference, I know deep
down that he wants to know his father. Maybe I just need to make a
meeting happen, whether he wants it or not. He needs to see that his
father is more than the boy who left me. So very much more.

Chapter 3
    Caleb
    My hate mail has
increased over the last few days. I don’t know how they know I’m
almost ready to go into production this weekend, but they do. Which
makes Jade sure that it’s someone here on the property. I don’t
know who it could be, though.
    “There’s no one who
was embarrassed or something by your family, but still works here?”
    “No. My family treats
everyone well.”
    “Even your
grandfather?”
    “He’s…difficult,
but not mean.”
    “If you say so.”
    “I do.”
    “What did they think
of Tegan?”
    “They loved her,” I
tell her without hesitation. “We all did.”
    “Until you didn’t.”
    I don’t feel like
lying anymore, and she’s probably the only one I can be honest
with. “I never said I didn’t love Tegan.”
    “Oh, excuse me, I
didn’t realize that ‘slut’ was another word for love.”
    “Do you know what she
did?”
    “I know what you think she did.”
    “What who did?” Dee
asks, breaking the moment and saving me from realizing that I may
have made the biggest mistake of my life.
    “Not you,” Jade
tells her.
    “Listen, I’ve had
about enough of you.”
    “Good thing I don’t
work for you then, huh?”
    “Caleb, why won’t
you do something about her?” she whines to me.
    “I enjoy her
company.”
    “I’m your fiancée.”
    “Yeah, about that.
I’m thinking we should call it off.”
    “Are you insane?”
    “No. I think I’m
the most sane I’ve been in years. We both know I only asked you
because marrying you would be relatively easy for me.”
    “I love you.”
    “You don’t. You
love the idea of me. Of marrying into my family.”
    “We’re good
together.”
    “I’m trying to be
gentle about this Dee, but do I really need to spell it out for you?”
    “I guess maybe you
do.”
    “Fine. I dated you in
high school because I knew it would hurt Tegan. I’ve been sleeping
with you for the past year because you were available. And I asked
you to marry me because I knew you’ve always only wanted me for my
last name. But I think it’s time I went after what I want, instead
of just settling for what’s convenient.”
    “And you want her?”
she asks, motioning towards Jade.
    “Umm, no. I mean, no
offense Jade, but it’s not you I want.”
    “The feeling’s
mutual, believe me.”
    “Then who? Who do you
want?”
    “It’s really none
of your business. Keep the ring, and whatever else I bought you.”
    “What about
tomorrow?”
    Shit. I forgot about
the family dinner to celebrate the formula being almost ready. “You
can come to dinner, but that’s it.”
    “You’ll be sorry.”
    I already am. “Not
for the reasons you think I will.”
    She storms out, and
Jade starts clapping. “That was pretty freaking awesome.”
    “Thanks, but I didn’t
really enjoy that.”
    “Yes, you did.”
    “You’re right, but
I shouldn’t have.”
    “From what you’ve
told me, that woman made one of my best friends suffer. I would’ve
paid you to do that.”
    “I also told you I
was worse.”
    “Karma already
visited you when you hooked up with the beauty queen, but if you hurt
Tegan again, I’ll come for you.”
    “I don’t even know
where she is.”
    “When you want that
information, all you have to do is ask.”
    “You’d tell me?”
    “Yeah, I think I
would. I like you.”
    “I like you, too, and
I’m going to be asking for the info soon. I just have to get some
things in order.”
    “You do that. I’m
just going to go outside and check in with my boss. I need to see if
they’ve found anything more out about the letters and emails.”
    “You can do that in
here.”
    “I like you, but I
can’t say I trust you, Caleb.”
    “I’ll earn
