One memory after another replayed in his mind, and as Stewart pieced everything together, the answer became painfully clear.

Briony must have found out about her pregnancy long ago. And she never intended to tell him-not from the very start.

His mind flashed back to that day...

The blizzard had raged outside, and Briony's resolve had been absolute. He'd been so blinded by anger that he'd overlooked the most important detail.

The Maybach sped through the city streets, weaving dangerously between lanes, but Stewart never eased off the gas for a second.

Inside the car, his grip on the steering wheel was iron-tight, his handsome features set in a cold, stormy scowl.

A bitter smile twisted Stewart's lips.

"Well done, Briony. You really outdid yourself."
