The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 217

Paul sat alone on the couch, his gaze lifting slightly as Arabella entered. He stared at her gloomily, and after a long silence, he finally spoke, “Our alliance is over, and I’m going public with the fact that the child you’re carrying has nothing to do with me.”
