autopsy. They couldn't believe that she would've
jumped. But what none of us knew was that she was pregnant."
    "I already
knew about the pregnancy." Dillon's jaw tensed. "For all I knew, she
was carrying your child."
    “How did you
know?” Nolan asked, confused.
    Now it was
Dillon’s turn to be ashamed. “She tried contacting me. She left me a message,
telling me she was pregnant. By that point, I’d known about your arrangement
and I was bitter. Besides, I figured the baby was probably yours or Vince’s,
which made it your problem, not mine.” Dillon ran a hand through his hair,
fighting a rise of nerves as his stomach threatened to rebel. “I never imagined
she might kill herself,” he admitted in a pained voice. “I never even
considered it. If I’d had an inkling that she might harm herself…I would’ve
done what I could to save her.” He looked to his brother. “How do you know the
baby was mine?”
    "Because
there was the possibility that baby was ours, we had a DNA test done on the
fetal tissue." Nolan met Dillon's gaze and held it. "Without a doubt,
the baby was yours."
    Dillon felt sucker
punched. All the air in his lungs evaporated and his vision zeroed to a
pinprick. This was how it felt to have the rug jerked out from beneath you; to
have your world come crashing down around your ears. He thought he'd known how
that felt but he’d been wrong. His hand went to his heart almost involuntarily
as he struggled to breathe. He stared at his brothers, uncomprehending.
"What are you saying to me? How could you keep this secret?" he
asked, incredulous.
    "Now you know
the true cost of your actions, asshole," Vince said, not giving Dillon an
inch. "And the kicker is I loved her so much I would have raised that baby
as my own if she would've had me. But her heart was tangled up with you and
there was no room for me. And because you refused to listen to reason, you were
so fired up about leaving the family she didn't feel she had a choice. For once
in your life you needed to think about someone else aside from yourself but you
didn't and split. So yeah, we were guilty of a lot of things but you can't
place the blame completely on our shoulders."
    For the first time
in his life Dillon felt as if he were sliding into a black hole. It shouldn't
have mattered about the paternity of the long-lost baby. But somehow it did
matter. It mattered more than he ever imagined it would. Why hadn't Isabel told
him? It might've made a difference in his decision. He might've swallowed his
pride, but then, he might not have. It was hard to say. The clarity of
hindsight was legendary.
    "And now
there's Penny. I'll admit we didn't start this journey with the cleanest of
intentions. Old habits die hard. But she's the kind of woman who deserves love
and if she were to have me, I would give her the world. But just like Isabel,
all she truly wants is you . So you
have to ask yourself, what are your true intentions with Penny? If you have no
plans to offer anything but pain and heartache because you're pissed off at us then
get ready for the fight of your life because there’s no way in hell I’ll allow
you to hurt Penny the way you hurt Isabel. But if you love her…” Vince stopped
as if the words were cutting his throat to say them. When he resumed, his gaze
was filled with pain but also honesty and integrity, which were qualities
Dillon had never seen on his brother. “We’ll step out of the way. Not for you
— but for her. Are you feeling me?"
    Dillon looked to
Nolan and saw that the other twin was in complete agreement. Of course they
were, they shared one brain. But honestly, he couldn't possibly give either one
of them an answer because his mind was so blown over the revelation they’d
dropped in his lap. "You said your piece, now get out." Dillon didn't
want to look at either of them. They'd withheld important information and of
all the things that he could hold against them, this was by far the worst.
    Nolan looked at
