34/Concerned
Shanes POV
Why did I agree to do this? Andrea is probably pregnant with my baby. A son or daughter I'll never see.
But Philip had agreed to get Negan to help me. I'm supposed to get more time with my daughter Judith. He is also supposed to deposit a million dollars in my account if she is pregnant. I wanted nothing more than to be present in my daughter's life, so when this stranger made the offer, of course I took it.
I did everything he asked. Took the medication to up my sperm count. Then I got Andrea drunk so I could seduce her. I just didn't know all these old feelings would come back.
I still love Andrea. Maybe I never stopped. She left my house in such a hurry that I was concerned for her.
"Are you okay?" Sasha my partner asked.
"Remember the girl at the party?" I said, feeling guilty for bringing up Andrea, since I had slept with her too.
"Yep, the blonde with my jerk of an adoptive brother," she says, annoyed.
" I am concerned for her. She won't answer any of my messages," I tell her honestly as we both look out of the cop car.
" You should be. My brother Philip is very controlling. He dated Sarah for four years before they broke up. She ended it with him for this new guy named Mark. Sarah dated Mark for about four months before he dumped her," Sasha said, looking over at me.
"What is the big deal about a break up? I interrupted her.
"Philip knew that he was breaking up with her at a movie theatre. He just happened to be there when Sarah needed him. Then a week later Mark was seen driving around in a new Camaro that he could never afford," she says telling a story.
"So he paid other guy to dump her?" I asked knowing this soubded familiar.
"Yes. I heard Philip talking to Mark about it. Mark liked Sarah, but my brother convinced him to end it with her for a new car. Sarah was rich on her own, but Philip love-bombed her. She never had many friends, and Philip controlled most of her time. He wasn't going to let her go again. Sarah was very upset about Mark breaking up with her, so Philip convinced her to do a quick church wedding," Sasha said, explaining why she didn't like her brother.
"Are you not convinced that his intentions towards my friend are good?" I asked, looking into her brown eyes.
"Your ex-girlfriend looks like a younger version of Sarah. He intends to marry her. Mom has already been planning their wedding. Unfortunately, you can't help her. He won't ever let you near her. I'm sorry. He never loses. He is very convincing and powerful. The whole family is that way," she says softly.
" Honestly, I can see why she'd prefer him. Who wants a cop over a billionaire doctor?" I said.
"Money isn't everything. And I'd pick you over anyone," she says, making her move.
"Can I come over tonight? I could pick up a pizza for you and Bella," I said, forgetting Andrea.
Sasha is here and beautiful. I made a deal with the devil and I have to live with it.
I knew Philip wouldnt let me near her again.
