Gabriel's voice thundered through the room. "I only wanted a child from her. I thought of cutting all ties once the child was born. But you ruined everything."
His mouth twisted. "Your actions will bring disaster on me. So you'll clear the air. Tomorrow, I'll call the press. You will apologize; tell everyone it was just a misunderstanding, that I have nothing to do with Tania and her child."
He shoved his hands into his pockets, chin tilted high with arrogance. "Do this, and I'll act as if nothing happened. We'll go on with our lives like before. Once the child is born, I'll bring it home, and you will raise it. There is no need for you to be insecure. I promise, Tania will never set foot in the Beaumont family."
Jeanne let out a bitter laugh, her chest tight with fury. "You…" her teeth ground together, "you really think I'll raise your mistress's child? Dream on."
His jaw clenched. "Jeanne, don't make things difficult for me. Do as I say."
