"Answer me Mal. Is that the reason why you broke up with me?" Dimitri insisted in knowing. "Did you not want to have a baby with me? Why didn't you tell me Mal I could've been there for you" Dimitri reached to grab Mallorys hand.
Mallory looked past Dimitri to see Bellami behind them. She watched as Dimitri held Mallorys hand.
"I can't believe you and I created a baby" Dimitri said. Bellami smiled as she walked towards them.
"I'm sorry to burst your bubble but the baby wasn't yours" Bellami said making Dimitri step away from Mallory. "You knew she had an abortion?" Dimitri asked Bellami.
"Why haven't you told him the truth?" Bellami asked Mallory.
"I promised I would never speak of it" Mallory said to Bellami. Dimitri frowned as he didn't know what they were speaking about. "Did you sleep with someone else when we were dating?" He frowned at Mallory.
Bellami rolled her eyes, "Mallory continues being a saint, she didn't have an abortion. It was I who did. I was pregnant with Ethan's baby. I used her name and information, she simply promised to keep the secret for me." Bellami said as she looked at Mallory.
"How do I know your not lying for her?" Dimitri asked Bellami.
"I don't care if you believe me or not. Although if it's something that's going to keep you up at night you can go to the Oasis Clinic down in Texas and ask for surveillance video of that date. You'll see Mallory waiting for me in the waiting room and you'll see when the nurse at the front desks gives me my prescription" Bellami shrugged.
"Is that true?" Dimitri asked Mallory. "Like she said, you can go to the clinic and find out for yourself" Mallory said.
Dimitri looked at both of them before heading back towards the house.
"Why were you speaking of it?" Bellami asked Mallory as soon as Dimitri was away from them. "Seems like we have people digging up our secrets, blackmail" Mallory smiled.
"Why didn't you just say it was I who had the abortion" Bellami frowned. "Because I'm not like you. We were good when it happened and I made you the promise of not telling anyone. I keep my promises" Mallory said before taking a step to walk back towards the house.
"Mallory" Bellami said. Mallory stopped walking and turned to look at Bellami. "Thanks" Bellami said to Mallory who didn't respond and walked away.
Mallory went to look for Noelle to tell her she didnt have to go meet up with Nick anymore but Noelle wasn't there.
Mallory stepped into her car and drove towards the hotel where Nick was staying. She asked for him at the reception and took the elevator up to the floor where he was staying. She was two rooms away when a door opened and out stepped Ezekiel.
"Mal" he said.
"Fuck off" Mallory said as she walked past him but he grabbed her arm and pulled her into his room.
"Let go of me!" Mallory raised her voice. Ezekiel let go of her arm but kept his hand on the door knob so she wouldn't leave.
"What are you doing here?" Ezekiel asked. "Looking for my cousin" Mallory tried to move his hand so she could open the door.
"Listen to me, I know your angry but let me explain" Ezekiel looked at her.
"And what is it that your going to explain? That you're marrying her and you didn't tell me until after you fucked me?" Mallory grew angry and upset.
"It's not as you make it sound Mal. You know I love you" Ezekiel said. "I've seen people who don't love me do more for me than you ever have" Mallory answered.
"Like who the guy your going out with? Isn't he like four years older than you?" Ezekiel frowned. "Yeah like him! I actually like him" Mallory answered.
"If you like him as much as you say you wouldn't have made love with me last night and you know that" Ezekiel let go of the door knob.
"What happened last night was simply a goodbye" Mallory said. "A goodbye you didn't even know of" Ezekiel laughed.
"Screw you Zeke! Literally, fuck you! You know what I'm glad you're marrying her without even loving her." Mallory raised her voice.
"Oh like your any different you don't even like the person your with" Ezekiel frowned.
"That's where your wrong. I'm with him because I like him and his company. Your just with her because you think her father's wealth will help you bring my father down. We're not the same because when I sleep with him I enjoy it and when your with her all you can think about is me" Mallory said before reaching for the door knob.
Ezekiel shut the door.
"Open the door Zeke" Mallory demanded. "You know that's not what you want me to do" Zeke said in a cocky tone.
"I have important things to do and your not one of them, open the door" Mallory said looking at him. Ezekiel smiled. He had always liked when Mallory acted mean.
Mallory frowned as she knew what he was doing. He knew she had a weakness for his smile. "Stop smiling" Mallory kept her frown.
"Does my smile bother you?" Ezekiel asked. "Yes, I know what you're trying to do but it's not going to work because you and I are basically enemies now and stop smiling!" Mallory said as she looked at him.
"You know you can simply look away, look I even let go of the door knob so you can leave if you want." Zeke smiled.
"Good because I am leaving" Mallory said.
"Okay leave" Zeke pointed to the door. "I am" Mallory said as she reached for the door knob.
"Good" Zeke nodded. Mallory let go of the door knob and turned to Zeke, "you know the audacity you had today to tell my lover that you're a close friend of mine when were not friends" Mallory argued.
"Shut up already" Zeke pulled her and did what she wanted so badly but didn't say. He kissed her and she kissed him back. She slowly let her arms down as she set her hands on his waist. He set his hand on her neck before stopping to look at her.
"Don't leave. Please" He said.
"Im your enemy remember, you said you'd hurt me if it meant getting to my father" Mallory answered. She pushed his hand down.
"I know what I said but you know I would never harm you. Mal I won't loose you even if it means loosing my parents lands" Zeke caressed her cheek. "I spoke to Hailey before you got here, the engagement is over. I'll fight your father the only way I can"
"You won't win. My grandfather announced that he'll be staying."
"Your grandfather has nothing to do with me" Zeke shrugged. "He's staying to protect his sons, neither you nor Nick have a possibility of getting justice now" Mallory said.
"So help me" Zeke held Mallory's hand.
