"What? Lucas begged me to come back and serve you. Don't tell me you didn't know?" I tilted my head, eyes mocking. "Or does the future Mrs. Delgado think I'm not worth the price? Were you planning to use me for free?"
Before she could retort, the baby let out another ear-splitting shriek.
I didn't spare the sound a second thought. I walked straight past the master bedroom toward the guest room next door.
Yolanda scrambled after me, panic flaring in her eyes. "You can't stay in this room!"
"Oh?" I stopped in the doorway, spinning to face her. I stepped into her space, forcing her to retreat until her back hit the doorframe.
I leaned in close, staring hard at her seductive, terrified face. "Why not? Are you afraid Lucas might..." I let the sentence hang.
"Impossible!" she shrieked. "Don't you even think about it!"
"Is that so?" A cold smile played on my lips. "Men are fickle creatures, Yolanda. Nothing is guaranteed."
"You... just you wait!"
She slammed the door in my face. The frame rattled.
I chuckled softly. A few vague words and she crumbled. Her insecurity was palpable.
This month was going to be quite the show.
Once silence returned to the hallway, I opened my bag. I took out the miniature surveillance cameras I had prepared. Moving quickly and quietly, I began installing them in every blind spot of the room.
Alex Delgado was determined to reduce me to a glorified servant for his kept woman during her postpartum confinement.
If that was his game, he would find I wasn't playing by the old rules.
Initially, I just wanted a clean divorce and a quiet life. But now? I had changed my mind. I was going to use this opportunity to strip him bare and ensure he left our marriage with nothing.
