Seeing that she stubbornly sealed her lips tight, Mitchel shifted gears. He took a moment and, in the most comforting way he could muster, assured her, "I promise it won't happen again."

Raegan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Mitchel vowed not to let it happen again.

What exactly would he not allow to happen for the second time around?

Was he saying he would never Leave her again?

For Raegan, it was all the same, whether he left her once or a dozen times.

Whenever Lauren came into the picture, Mitchel never stood by her side. Not even once!

Noticing her continued silence, Mitchel appeared relieved and offered an explanation, "I get it. You're mad at me for missing your grandma's final moments. But Lauren was in a critical condition. She had to stay in the ICU for two days..."

"Interesting!" Raegan laughed cynically.

Two days in the ICU, and Lauren still had the energy to pull Tessa's strings from her hospital bed? Lauren was really something!

“Is she dead?" Raegan snapped.

This question stunned Mitchel. He remembered Raegan as someone so gentle and would not even hurt a fly.

How could she say something so vicious?

Seeing the shock on Mitchel's face, Raegan let out a snort and continued, “Let's cut to the chase. She's still breathing, right?

Since she's alive, how can you promise you won't do it again? What if she pulls another stunt? Will you ditch her for me?"

"It's not like that, Raegan. I..."

"Don't bother! I already know you won't! Your word means nothing, Mitchel! Listen to me. This is my child, and I'll bring it into the world without you. You don't have to worry about it. We've already signed the divorce papers. I promised Luciana we'd wait until the end of the month to finalize things. You'll get your freedom soon enough, so save the crocodile tears, will you?"

As Raegan spoke, her eyes dripped with disdain.

Mitchel had once said he did not want kids with her. But now he was acting like Father of the Year? What a hypocrite.

The second time he chose Lauren over her, he slammed the door shut on their marriage.
