Chapter 309 - Without Waiting (2)
"Who the hell called the cops?!" Annie screamed, her voice shrill and cracking as the piercing sound of sirens drew closer. Panic flashed across her face. She snapped the gun toward Cammy, fury burning in her eyes. "You! You called them, didn’t you, bitch?!"
Cammy froze in place, breath catching in her throat, but before she could respond—
"I told Randolf!" Duncan shouted, stepping protectively in front of Cammy, his arms wide. "I asked him to help. He must’ve been the one who called. Annie, please, let go of Dylan! You’re hurting my son!"
"Your son?! That’s all you care about... him? What about our daughter?! What about the life we were supposed to have? You promised! You said we would live in this house together! You agreed!" Annie wailed, tears running down her face, her grip on Dylan trembling but firm.
Duncan’s voice cracked. "Listen to yourself, Annie. I care about Dylan because he’s my son. You tricked me into believing your baby was mine, but the DNA test proved otherwise. She’s not my daughter!"
Greg’s eyes flicked between them, confusion furrowing his brow. "Wait—what? She’s not yours? Then... is the baby mine?"
Duncan shook his head. "I don’t know. All I know is she’s not mine."
"Does it even matter?!" Annie shrieked, her voice a blend of rage and desperation. "Even before I gave birth, you were ready to marry me. You were willing to take care of me, of the baby! You wanted my father’s money—you got it! And now you’re throwing me away like I’m nothing!"
Her hand trembled more violently now, the barrel of the gun swaying erratically. "If you don’t marry me... if you refuse to be the father of my daughter... then I swear—I won’t let you be happy! I’ll ruin everything!"
Her hand twitched toward Dylan—
But the boy acted faster.
With a scream, Dylan turned and sank his teeth into Annie’s arm, biting down with all the force his little body could muster. Annie yelped in pain, her grip loosening just enough.
