RUBY
I lied.
I was nowhere close to being pregnant but I lied. Only to get Austin away from certain death. Troy was determined to kill him. And if I didn't stop him, Austin would be death before my very eyes.
I couldn't let that happen.
I had no idea how Troy found out about our escape and how he even had Chris waiting to block us out.
But from the look on his face, I could tell I was screwed. Beyond fucked at this point.
And the realization only hit when Troy seemed to buy the lie.
"You're pregnant?" He asked again but I didn't answer. I didn't want to add another lie to this. I couldn't imagine how broken he would be if he found out that none of it was true, seeing how he seemed relieved that he had gotten another chance at fatherhood but at least Austin would still be alive.
It was a chance I was willing to take.
Even if it cost me his trust. I mean, I already broke it when I made him sign the papers without him knowing, right?
