The moment they stepped inside, Starla threw herself into Samuel’s arms and wrapped her arms around his neck.
“We’ve already got our marriage certificate. Now we’re truly, legally married. How long are you planning to keep hiding this from that fool Cassey?” she demanded.
Samuel stroked Starla’s belly, his eyes full of anticipation. “Just a little longer. You know Cassey’s family owns a business and she’s their only child. Everything they have will eventually belong to her. As long as I keep her happy, it’ll all be in my hands, won’t it?”
Starla seemed displeased. “What about me and the baby? Don’t forget, I’m carrying your child. You don’t plan on keeping me and our child in the shadows forever, do you?”
Samuel gently reassured her.
“Of course, I’ll take care of it. Once you give birth and get the baby registered, I’ll divorce her and get our marriage certificate. As soon as we’re legally married, I’ll start transferring all her assets to you and the child. With the money in our hands, what else is there to worry about?”
A smug smile crept across Starla’s face as she listened.
“I can hardly wait to see that lowlife Cassey left with nothing.”
