Broken Oaths (Lisa Davis and David Green) novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Lisa slept for a long time. When she woke up thirsty in a daze, the room was pitch black.

She mustered her strength to sit up, instinctively reaching toward the nightstand where David always left her a glass of warm water.

Tonight, it was empty.

A hollow ache filled Lisa’s chest before she chuckled bitterly. Since Helen got pregnant, David could no longer pretend to love her like before.

She got up and headed downstairs. Passing the guest room, she heard David’s voice and paused instinctively.

“It’s my fault she got hurt. I shouldn’t have acted recklessly.”

Helen sobbed.

“You can’t go hungry while pregnant. Lisa overreacted.

I spoiled her too much—that’s the problem. Stop crying now, or you’ll break my heart.”

David held her, stroking her hair. “You’re becoming such a crybaby lately.”

“Don’t tease me.”

Helen pouted, her alluring face etched with pitiful charm.

David’s throat tightened as he looked away. Their encounter on the yacht had been too intense, nearly causing a miscarriage. He couldn’t risk it again.

“Miss me, darling?

Too bad she’s injured and can’t satisfy you.”

“She never satisfied me like you do, little minx. I’ll behave… for now. Once the baby’s stable, you’ll pay for teasing me.”

David’s lips curved.

“Let me help you, darling.”

Helen slid down his body…

The contrast between her sultry movements and innocent voice drew a low groan from David.

“You’re incredible, Helen.”

…

Witnessing this scene again stirred nothing in Lisa. Numbly, she continued downstairs for water.
