I didn’t flinch. My heart was racing, but I stood firm, refusing to let him turn this around on me. “You really don’t get it, do you?” My voice shook with raw emotion as I forced myself to say the words that had been tearing at me. “You donated sperm to Thalia. Without telling me. Do you know how humiliating it was to find out like that? You gave her what we’ve been trying to have for years.”
He stared at me, still shocked by the slap, but the cold indifference in his eyes made my blood boil. “It wasn’t a big deal, Chloe. It was a favor. That’s all.”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “A favor?” My voice cracked as I repeated the word, bitterness laced in every syllable. “You gave her a child, Rozen. You let her have the one thing I’ve been aching for. Do you know how that feels? How much it tears me apart?”
Rozen sighed, clearly growing more irritated by the second. “You’re overreacting. It’s not like we’re raising the baby together. Thalia wanted a child, and I helped. That’s it.”
