Chapter Fifty-Nine

There was dead silence throughout the restaurant once Eric left. It took a moment for the reality of it all to hit Cat, and when it did, she sagged. If it hadn’t been for Alex holding her up and placing her into a chair, Cat was sure she would be sitting on the floor. In the space of 10 minutes, her life had completely disintegrated in front of her eyes. She would have no job, no home, and no marriage. Sneer panic overwhelmed her, and Cat started to hyperventilate.

Above the roaring in her, Alex could be heard shouting at the staff. “Get me a glass of water.”

Water? who needed water at a time like this? She needed a shot of brandy or scotch straight up. But it was one indulgence she couldn’t have, even if it was to calm her down. She was pregnant. Tears welled in her eyes, spilling over and running down her face. Lifting a hand, she wiped them away almost absentmindedly. A glass of water came into her view, which she took. Not sure what else to do. She wanted her mum; she wanted Dawn.
