Mitchel commanded icily, âMake the announcement.
â
Matteo paused, puzzled.
âMake the announcement?â
âYes, for September 20th.
â
âWellâ¦â Matteo hesitated, about to speak, but a sharp look from Mitchel made him quickly change his response.
âOkay.
â
âIncrease the coverage.
Get both local and international media involved.
We need to keep this trending until then.
â
Matteo wasnât sure what Mitchel was planning and didnât dare to ask.
He simply nodded.
âOkay.
â
Once Mitchel had left, Matteo surveyed the cluttered room and sighed softly.
He then had someone clean up the mess.
Raegan had been keeping herself busy to distract from her feelings.
Yet, during a break, her fingers automatically navigated to the Dixon Groupâs official website.
The latest announcement had been posted at two ten in the afternoon.
It featured the names of the man she once loved dearly and the woman she despised.
September 20th was the date set for their wedding!
The announcement struck Raegan like a dagger to the heart.
The bold and flamboyant official statement declared what the media celebrated as a love affair.
Yet, despite having been married to Mitchel for the past few years, Raegan had remained unseen and unknown.
Her heart seemed to halt, her breathing grew heavy.
The event was set to occur in less than two weeks.
It was approaching so quickly that Raegan hadnât seen it coming.
Could it be true, as the media claimed, that Katieâs child was in a hurry to arrive? But then, Katieâs child⦠It had been proven not to be Mitchelâs, hadnât it?
As far as Raegan knew, Mitchel was not the type to raise someone elseâs child.
She dared not consider the one possibility that remained.
Could Katieâs child actually be his?
This thought tormented her even more.
The idea that Mitchel made out with her while being with another woman made her feel nauseous.
Hastily, Raegan grabbed her herbal remedy to stave off the urge to vomit.
Raegan calmed herself for a moment and then tried to close the webpage.
She thought her actions over the past few days had proven that she was over it.
Yet, her fingers trembled.
She attempted to shut down her laptop three times without success.
In frustration, she slammed the laptop closed.
The office was empty and Elin was on the verge of leaving.
Elin asked cautiously, âRaegan, are you heading home? I can give you a ride.
â
As Elin spoke, her phone rang, but she ignored it.
Raegan shook her head and replied, âDonât worry about me.
Go on back to your work.
My driverâs waiting downstairs.
â
Once home, Raegan settled into a bath.
The warm water couldnât ease the chill in her heart.
Over the next few days, even without paying attention to Mitchel and Katie, Raegan kept encountering news about them.
