Read Claimed by the Billionaire: Rescue #3 for Free Online Page B

seemed out of my own element as well and I
felt a bit foolish. This wasn’t complicated math but I felt like a dunce,
staring at the page.
    “I swear this wasn’t
how they taught me when I was your age.” I mumbled for probably the millionth
time that night.
    “Mom,” Greg whined,
“This is how we’re being taught.”
    I stared again at the
problem. That was when I heard Bradley call my name from the living room. I
walked into the living room and he was looking at something on his phone and
beckoned me to follow him into the hallway. Perturbed, I followed.
    “What is it?” I asked.
    Bradley shoved his
phone towards me. His grim expression told me that whatever I was looking at I
wasn’t going to enjoy one bit. I looked down to see TMZ and my heart stopped.
BRADLEY GABLE’S PERSONAL ASSISTANT PREGNANT WITH HIS CHILD! The headline was
plastered on the front page and was their top story. My mouth dropped. How
could they have known? I had been planning on keeping it a story as long as
possible and instead it was all over TMZ. I thought of how everyone was going
to find out this way now and I felt sick. I read the story, my eyes darting
down it quickly.
    “Serena…pregnant with
Bradley Gable’s child…confirmed at the doctors…source leaked her medical
records…confirming pregnancy…Winter, Bradley’s wife, is rumored to make a
statement soon…”
    Leaked my medical
records? Could it have been…? I thought of Dr. Wright and her rude remarks and
her pale, angry face when I said something. Did she truly leak my medical
records? TMZ paid for tips, didn’t it? I wonder how much she got for leaking my
pregnancy so early.
    “This is my fault,” I
heard myself say, “I shouldn’t have snapped at my doctor. She had to have been
the ones to leak this. No one else knew.”
    “Someone might have
recognized you,” Bradley replied, although he sounded doubtful, “And took your
records.”
    “I guess it doesn’t
matter. It is out there now. It says Winter is going to be making a statement
soon.”
    “She has to fight back
somehow. The tide went against her after we leaked the clip of her bribing you
to spy on me.”
    It was true. After we
leaked the video clip, it was hard for her to refute what she had done. She
tried to say it was because she knew Bradley was cheating and wanted confirmation.
Winter still had some sympathy with woman who had been cheated on before but
the clip made her look a bit crazy.
    But now she had the
best ammo of all — her husband’s mistress was pregnant. She could justify her
wanting to spy on him now by twisting this to her advantage. We had thought the
divorce would be cut and dry when we first caught her bribing me on tape. But
with Winter catching us, leaking it to the press and having public sympathy,
she was back to dragging out the divorce, wanting more money.
    “What are we going to
do?” I asked him.
    “I just need to pay
what Winter wants and get this divorce over with.” Bradley replied.
    I bit my bottom lip,
“But doesn’t she want an awful lot?”
    “About half of my
fortune.”
    “She doesn’t deserve
it.” I snapped, feeling furious at her getting a cent.
    Bradley ran his fingers
through his hair and opened his mouth to say something when Greg chimed up.
    “Mom!” He called, “Your
phone won’t stop ringing.”
    I groaned and shut my
eyes briefly before walking back to the dining room. It was ringing as I walked
in and I saw it was Cathy.
    I picked it up,
“Hello?”
    “You answered!” She
exclaimed on the other line, “Bitch, I’ve been trying to get in touch with you
for a week!”
    “I know, I’m sorry.
Just a lot has been going on.”
    “No shit! I’ve read
TMZ. How much of it is true?”
    I walked into the
dining room, clutching my phone to my ear, “How much did you read?”
    “Oh, well, I knew about
you sleeping with your boss part, I think we covered that one already,” She
joked, “I meant more of you being pregnant.”
    I glanced
