Summer Innocence
I’d been Jackson Hall’s kept woman for three
years.
The day I found out I was knocked up, |
overheard his twin brother saying, “Jack, I’ve
been pretending to be you, playing with your
little bird for so long. She’s not going to run
off when she finds out, is she?”
Jackson drawled, all nonchalant, “Why would
she? She’s got it good. Besides, it’s not like
it’s the first time we’ve switched.”
“Just don’t get her pregnant. I find that shit
distasteful.”
Then the comments section popped up in
front of my eyes:
[LOL, the side chick’s grinning like an idiot
now that she’s pregnant. Little does she
know, Jackson’s never even touched her. His
twin brother’s the one who knocked her up.]
[Jackson only has eyes for the main girl. Even
if the side piece is carrying his baby, he’d still
kick her and the kid to the curb.]
I didn’t cry, didn’t make a scene. I just kept
playing the part of the good little birdie for
the fake Jackson.
Behind their backs, I secretly booked an
abortion appointment and bought a plane
ticket out of here.
The day he caught me going to the clinic, he
went ballistic, grabbing his brother by the
throat. “Who gave you permission to lay a
finger on her?”

The day I found out I was unexpectedly
pregnant, I braved the rain and went to
Jackson’s usual hangout. I got to the club
with my hair slightly damp.
As I was about to push open the door, I heard
Jackson’s icy voice coming from inside. “Had
your fun? When are you switching back?”
His twin brother, Hayden Hall, said, “Nah, not
yet. Still enjoying myself too much.”
Jackson frowned. “You haven’t touched her,
have you? You know the rules.”
Hayden paused, just for a split second. Then
he slowly smirked. “Why? Wouldn’t you be
okay with it?”
Jackson hesitated, looking awkward. “Sure,
but I think it’s trashy.”
The lounge erupted in hoots and hollers.
“Hayden, you’re banging your brother’s cast-
offs?”
“Come on, don’t blame Hayden. Look at Riley
Summers’ face, who wouldn’t want a piece?”
“And that body? All curves in the right places.
Her ass is like a ripe peach, practically
begging to be plucked.”
“It’s just that Jackson’s a saint who stays
away from women.”

The woman sitting next to Jackson giggled.
“It’s like Riley’s a public toilet. Anyone can
use her!”
More laughter.
I recognized her.
Ashley Carter, a spoiled little rich girl from
uptown. Jackson’s childhood sweetheart. He’d
always treated her like gold.
Someone asked, “Whose idea was this? It’s
next level!”
Ashley smirked. “Who else could come up
with something like this? Riley would never
suspect Jackson has a twin. You should all
thank me! If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t
get to experience such a rush.”
୮
Jackson chuckled indulgently. “Yes, yes,
you’re the smartest.”
Someone asked, “I heard Jackson and Riley
are getting hitched in a week. Is that true?”
Jackson laughed. “Of course not. The little
thing wants a title. I’m just stringing her
along.”
Ashley suddenly sat up straight, her eyes
gleaming mischievously. “After the wedding,
you should tell her that you’ve been swapping
her out for the past year! I want to see her
reaction. Isn’t it fun to push her into the abyss
when she’s closest to happiness?”
Jackson rolled his eyes. “You’re such a kid.”
Ashley pouted. “Still, you’ve always given me
everything I wanted.”
“But you guys should be careful and not get
her pregnant.”
“These women from the lower class can be
hard to deal with if they get pregnant.”
Jackson scowled. “Don’t joke about that. We
never touched her.”
Ashley tilted her head and pressed, “What if
she accidentally gets pregnant?”
Jackson waved his hand dismissively. “Then
we’ll toss her aside and move on, right,
Hayden?”
Hayden, who had been spaced out, blinked,
realizing Jackson was talking to him. “Yeah.”
[LOL, Hayden’s claiming he hasn’t touched
her, but he’s totally defiled her behind his
brother’s back.]
[The side chick’s grinning like an idiot now
that she’s pregnant. Little does she know,
Jackson’s never even touched her. His twin
brother’s the one who knocked her up.]
[Jackson only has eyes for the main girl. Even
if the side piece is carrying his baby, he’d still
kick her and the kid to the curb.]
[They’re perfect. Jackson guarding his
virginity for the female lead, and Hayden just
using the side piece for practice! This is the
pampered story I want to read!]

I looked down at the pregnancy test in my
hand. Two lines.
I had raced over here in the rain, ready to tell
Jackson the news.
I was actually pregnant.
Looks like that was unnecessary.
