After everything Amber and Dave had been through, Amber finally believed their relationship had reached a point where they could start over.

One evening, Amber sat beside Dave and looked at him with a smile.

Dave pulled her closer.

For the first time in a long time, Amber felt completely happy. They hugged, kissed, and talked about what their life could look like now that the past was finally behind them.

Amber believed she had finally gotten the man she wanted.

But what she didn’t know was that Dave had a secret.

And he was doing everything he could to keep it from her.

A few days passed.

At first, everything seemed normal. Dave continued spending time with Amber, acting affectionate and making her believe that their relationship was stronger than ever.

But slowly, Amber began noticing small changes.

Dave started taking phone calls in another room. He became protective of his phone. Whenever Amber asked where he was going, his answers became shorter.

Dave kissed her forehead.

Amber wanted to believe him. She really did.

But something inside her kept telling her that Dave was hiding something.

Several more days passed before Amber finally saw something that made her suspicion even stronger.

One afternoon, Dave walked out of the house carrying a large black bag. Amber happened to see him through the window.

Dave didn’t hear her. He walked quickly toward his car and placed the bag inside.

Amber watched from a distance. Something about the way Dave was behaving made her uneasy.

She grabbed her keys and quietly followed him.

Dave drove across town before finally pulling into a quiet parking lot. Amber parked far enough away so he wouldn’t notice her.

She watched him get out of his car and take the large bag with him.

Amber quickly got out and followed.

When Dave stopped near a building, Amber moved behind a concrete wall. She carefully looked around the corner.

Then she saw someone approaching.

Amber’s eyes widened.

It was Evelyn.

But this wasn’t the Evelyn Amber remembered.

Evelyn was visibly pregnant.

Dave immediately walked toward her.

Amber couldn’t understand what she was seeing.

Why was Dave meeting Evelyn? And why did Evelyn look pregnant?

Dave placed the large bag on the ground.

Dave opened the bag.

Amber’s heart nearly stopped.

Inside were stacks and stacks of cash. The bag was filled with money.

Amber stared from behind the wall, completely frozen.

Evelyn looked inside the bag and smiled.

She touched the money but then looked directly at him.

Amber’s eyes filled with disbelief.

She could barely process the words.

Amber felt like the ground had disappeared beneath her feet.

Just days ago, Dave had been telling her that she was his future. He had held her. He had kissed her. He had promised her that they were finally going to build a life together.

And now she was standing behind a wall, watching him hand another woman a bag full of money while she was carrying his child.

But then something even more disturbing happened.

Dave immediately became serious.

Amber’s heart sank.

She had finally discovered that Dave had been keeping a major secret from her.

But before she could move, Dave said something that made her completely freeze.
