anything when he kicked her out of his home and his life, and what would she have done then? Gone back to her old life? Gone back to whatever she could muster up as a single parent on her own with nothing?
She closed her eyes and images of what her life would have been raced through her mind. She would have had a hard and difficult life, and he would have been living larger than he was already living when she met him; single, carefree, and not at all interested in anything that had to do with her or the child she would have had that would have enabled him to keep his money.
The idea of bringing a child into the world just for money was unthinkable to her. She might have fallen in love with one of the worst men she had ever known, but somehow she was lucky enough to figure it out before her life was ruined. She knew she would hurt over him forever. She was so grateful that it was nothing more than a broken heart. She knew that he was probably going to have a hard time convincing anyone to marry him and have a kid with him immediately.
She hoped that he wouldn't put anyone else through what he was willing to put her through. No one should be used like that.
She stayed in bed for two days before Lena came over and used her key to let herself into Brittany's house.
"Are you here? Where the hell are you? I've been calling you for two days and I haven't gotten anything but a voicemail. I can't leave a message because your voicemail is full! Where are you?" Lena called out and then walked into the bedroom, pushing the door open and her eyes fell on Brittany.
"Oh my dear god. You look like hell!" Lena said as she hurried over to Brittany.
"What's going on with you? Why aren't you answering any calls or checking your messages? What are you doing in bed?" She walked over and sat beside Brittany.
Brittany sighed deeply and looked up at her friend in anguish.
"You were right about him," she breathed out.
Lena frowned. "I was right about who?"
Then Lena looked at Brittany's hand and grasped it in her own, looking at the bare finger that had been wearing a massive diamond the last time she saw it.
"Logan?" Lena asked in a whisper.
"Logan," Brittany said with difficulty.
"What happened?"
Brittany closed her eyes and held her friend's hand. "I went over to his house and I didn't mean to listen at the office door, but I heard him talking to someone about me, so I stopped and listened, and he was talking to his attorney about how he was trying to get me pregnant, and about how he'd had me sign the prenuptial agreement."
"His attorney? Why would he be talking to his attorney and why is he trying to get you pregnant? You never told me you two were talking about having kids so soon. Are you pregnant?"
"No,” Brittany said miserably.
"Well, that's probably a good thing since you aren't wearing a ring anymore." Lena rolled her eyes.
“His attorney asked him if I was pregnant yet. He said I had to have a baby by Logan's birthday or Logan was going to lose everything; his house, his money, all the stuff he has. He said it had to be that way because that was what his father had in his will. He told Logan that he had to be married, and that he had to have a baby by Logan's next birthday, and that there was no way around it or it was all going to be gone." She wiped a tear away as she remembered hearing it herself.
Lena gasped and her hand flew up to her mouth. "No! That can't be! Are you telling me that he's been planning this whole thing the whole time? Is that what you're saying?"
Brittany nodded and sniffed as she wiped her eyes again. "That's it. The whole time, everything has been lies. He's just been using me so he can get his father's inheritance and keep his house and his money. That's why he had me sign the prenuptial agreement; don't you see? So he could marry me, we'd have the baby, he'd get his money, and then he could divorce me
