I'm not marrying you so we can be lovey dovey shit. Understand?'' He had this threatening look that made me feel fear.<br /> ''Then why do you want to marry me?''<br /> ''I have a daughter. Her biological mother is a whore who left her to me. She has been always asking me where is her mother and I couldn't bring myself to tell her. I just want her to have a mother figure in her life. She already got excited when I mentioned you to her. So you have no choice then to marry me, alright? And if you have this fu*ing attitude, you are going to get it fixed or I will fix it for you.'' He spat last sentence harshly.'<br /> ''How old is she?''<br /> ''Three years old.'' I saw his face soften as he spoke about her.<br /> After a short silence, I spoke up again.<br /> ''I am not sure if I can be a good mother or not.''<br /> <br /> ————————<br /> <br /> Anna's POV<br /> My name is Anna White. I'm 18 and senior in high school although I'm graduating in two months which I'm very happy about.<br /> I have older brother and sister who don't live with me and my parents because they got married. I also have one nephew from my brother that I adore so much.<br /> We are having a family gathering this afternoon. I'm so excited to see my sibilings and my nephew. I planned to buy him a gift after school.<br /> It's early in the morning and I'm currently listening to Math lesson. I was and I'm still a good student. I'm still in dilemma which college I want to attend because there are so many good colleges in USA.<br /> After Math lesson finished, I went in my second class which I have with my friend Milla. She is really a good person and sometimes gets bullied because of that. And I'm usually the one that helps her to get rid of them.<br /> I also have two more friends that I hang out with. Kelly has always been a bubbly one while Jennifer is more sophisticated. But we are great friend along with Milla.<br /> When bell rang for lunch, everybody ran out and towards the canteen. I met up with girls and we headed towards the lunch tables. We sat at our usual one and opened our lunch. We don't like to eat in canteen, fearing that we might get food poison.<br /> ''So Anna, you have a family gathering today?'' Kelly asked her.<br /> ''Yeah, I'm super excited to see my nephew.'' I squealed.<br /> ''I remeber when I had crush on your brother, it was so humiliating.'' Kelly whined.<br /> ''I still don't get how did you have a crush on my brother when he is 30. That's like twelve years age gap.''<br /> ''So what? Age is just a number. And your brother was hot. Maybe he is still hot but I haven't seen him in five years.'' Kelly explained.<br /> ''And maybe you will find someone older too so don't judge.'' Milla chimmed in.<br /> I shook my head.<br /> ''I think not. I prefer at least three years older guys.''<br /> ''You never know.'' Jennifer agreed with Milla.<br /> ''Whatever, we talked yesterday about the movies. When are we going to go?''<br /> ''The day after tomorrow. It's Sunday so it will be fine.''<br /> ''Cool.''<br /> We finished lunch in time as the bell rang again. I went to my locker to take my books for the next class. On my way to the classroom, I accidentally bumped into some man while he was talking with our principal.<br /> ''Sorry Sir.'' I apologized. He looked me up and down and his eyes landed on my eyes.<br /> ''Never mind.'' He said breaking the staring contest. His voice was gruff and nowhere near friendly.<br /> He turned around and continued his talk with the principal. I shook my head and entered the classroom. My Science teacher was already inside so I just apologized for being late and he let me go, luckily.<br /> I was walking back home and on my way I bought a little trunk in a toy shop for Thomas, my nephew. He is four years old and crazy for trunks and cars. He has whole collection of cars from some cartoon he watches and my brother gets pretty annoyed when somebody buys him new toy because he already has too many.<br /> I entered the house and went in my room to get changed. I took a shower and wore shorts and loose shirt. I heard the door opening downstairs and Thomas's squeals.<br /> I hurried down to see them already in the living putting their stuff down. When Thomas saw me he run to me and hugged my legs.<br /> ''Auntie, I missed you.'' He smiled showing his half missing teeth. I lifted him and sat him on my hip.<br /> ''I missed you too. You are big boy now.'' I tickled his stomach causing him to erupt in giggles.<br /> I put him down and went to hug my brother and my sister-in-law. She is really a great woman and loves my brother a lot. They told her she can't have kids anymore and that they are lucky Thomas was born. They accepted that fact and they are grateful that they have their son.<br /> My mom made lunch and set the table quickly. Thomas wanted to sit next to me and to feed him. I think I spoiled him too much but he is such a cutie.<br /> ''How is school going Anna?'' My brother asked me.<br /> ''It's good. My graduation is in two months.'' I shoved a piece of potato in my mouth.<br /> ''Did you ask about colleges?''<br /> ''Well I don't know yet. There are a lot of good colleges and I need to see in which one I'll be accepted.'' I explained.<br /> My mom suddenly cleared her throat. I turned my head towards her giving her my attention.<br /> ''Actually, you don't need to push yourself to go on a college.''<br /> ''Why?'' I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.<br /> ''Because you may not go to the college.''<br /> ''What?'' I raised my voice.<br /> ''Don't raise your voice at your mother, young lady.'' My dad said.<br /> ''Why wouldn't I go to the college?''<br /> ''Because you are getting married.''<br /> <br /> Edward's POV<br /> ''Thank you Mr. Reed for helping our school. We are very honored and grateful.'' I rolled my eyes as he can't see me over the phone. I do this just because my fiancee attends your school.<br /> ''No problem Mr. Smith. I'm glad that I can help.'' I shut down the phone no bothering to say goodbye. He was being noisy anyway.<br /> I'm Edward Reed known as a billionare of NYC. I have a daughter named Sofia and unfortunately she doesn't have a mother. Her biological mother is a bimbo that I slept with once. She left Sophia after she gave birth to her and I payed her a money to not see her again.<br /> I wanted to give a mother to Sofia so I agreed to arranged marriage. I get to know my fiancee's parents through a friend. When I saw her picture, I wanted her. She seemed bubbly and kind and I thought she would be perfect mother figure to Sofia.<br /> When I bumped into the girl in a school, I didn't expect her to be my fiancee. She is actually gorgeous in reality. I also loved her voice when she apologized. I shouldn't be attracted to a girl that is younger 17 years but something says that I should take care of her.<br /> My phone rang and I saw Sofia's nanny calling. I picked up a phone worried that something happened to Sofia.<br /> ''Hello Sir?''<br /> ''Hello Mary?''<br /> ''Sir Sofia wanted to talk to you.''<br /> ''Okay. Hand her a phone.''<br /> I heard some shuffling before Sofia's voice spoke.<br /> ''Hi daddy!'' She giggled.<br /> ''Hi princess! Why did you want to call me? Did something happened?''<br /> ''No, it's fine. I miss you. When will you get home?'' I know she looks sad by the sound of her voice.<br /> ''I have something to finish then I will get home and then we can play together okay? But you must be a good girl to Mary.''<br /> ''Okay. I will wait for you. I love you daddy. Bye.''<br /> ''I love you too. Bye.''<br /> I hung down the phone and sighed. It's always like this. I really need to get married. She is already big and she understands everything except the part about her mother because I never told her about that bimbo.<br /> I returned to work on some papers as I got another phone call. I will seriously brake this phone. I picked up the phone already annoyed.<br /> ''Hello?''<br /> ''Hello Mr. Reed. I'm calling regarding Anna.'' Man voice said over the phone. Who is Anna? He probably noticed my silence when he continued.<br /> ''Your fiancee. I'm her father.''<br /> ''Okay. Is there a problem?''<br /> ''We told her about your marriage and she is not very pleased. So I thought maybe we could arrange a meeting.''<br /> ''Yes, sure. Just a second.''<br /> I looked over to my schedule to see that Friday afternoon is clear.<br /> ''So the Friday afternoon is alright?''<br /> ''Yes. I will inform her about it. Goodbye.''<br /> ''Goodbye.''<br /> Now I have to deal with her. She will learn her place if she has an attitude. I'm not the person to punish but if I have to I'll punish her for being bitchy.<br /> I continued fixing papers and fortunately nobody called again. It was getting late and I promised to Sofia that I will come home to play with her. I finished last papers and exited my office.<br /> When I came home, Sofia ran to me and hugged my legs. I smiled and picked her up.<br /> ''Hello princess.''<br /> ''Hi daddy. Are we going to play now?''<br /> ''Yes we are. But I need to go change my clothes okay? Will you wait for me?''<br /> ''Yes.'' She giggled. I pecked her cheek and put her down. She ran to her playroom immediately.<br /> I went in my bedroom and changed in a sweatpants and white T-shirt. I was tired but I couldn't take down a promise I made to Sofia so I hurried in her room.<br /> We were playing tea party. She really loves tea parties even if there is no tea. I just love her so much. She is the best thing that ever happened in my life.<br /> ''Have you been good today with Mary?''<br /> ''Yes. She gave me cookies for reward.''<br /> ''Really? I'm happy to hear that.''<br /> ''Daddy, can I ask you something?''<br /> ''Whatever you want.''<br /> ''When is mommy going to come?''<br /> I got used to this but now I have different answer for her. She will be happy because of this.<br /> ''I will soon bring mommy home. You can wait for her a little bit longer, right?'' She squealed and hugged me.<br /> ''I can wait for her.''<br /> She pulled away and sat in front of me.<br /> ''Is she pretty?''<br /> ''Very pretty.''<br /> ''I can't wait to play dolls with her and draw pictures with her.'' Her eyes were wide and sparkling as she was talking about my fiancee.<br /> ''Does she like to bake?''<br /> ''Probably. We will find out, but now is time for bed.''<br /> I picked her up and put her in her princess bed. I started reading her a story but she was out on the second page. I pulled her pink duvet over her and pecked her forehead.<br /> It's been a long day today and I just wanted to sleep. I was glad that she liked the idea of getting a mother. It's only important that she is happy.<br /> <br /> Anna's POV<br /> I can't believe that MY parents arangged a marriage for me and to a man that I don't know a name. This is hilarious but miserable at the same time.<br /> And on top of everything, I need to meet him today. I just hope he is nice, at least. I should be meeting him on my own because my parents said it will be better if we have privacy. Like, nothing will help this situation.<br /> I got dressed in a black dress with white dots and put on my white sandals. If I'm going to meet my ''fiancè'', I'm at least going to be decent. I don't like to put a makeup so I just put a mascara and lipgloss.<br /> I put my phone and a wallet in my purse. I got out of the house not bothering to say bye to my parents. The cab got right on time and drove me to the restaurant.<br /> My dad told me to say just his surname because he already reserved the table. I asked the lady at the reception his surname and she led me to a table for two. I expected him to be there but he wasn't.<br /> I ordered water and sat there waiting for him. I was actually curious about his looks. Is he handsome or ugly? I really hope he is nice because I couldn't stand some crazy guy.<br /> After 10 minutes, some older man entered the restaurant and the same lady that escorted me, was now leading him to my table. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion as stood next to me.<br /> He is actually a man I bumped into in the hallway of my school.<br /> ''Hello.'' He said as he sat across me.<br /> ''Sorry this place is already taken.''<br /> ''Yeah I know.'' He shrugged.<br /> ''Then why did you sit here?''<br /> ''Because this chair is taken by me, fiancee.'' He smirked and put his hand on the table.<br /> What? Is he for real? What were my parents thinking when they thought I would marry him? He is for sure older than 30.<br /> ''You are the man I have to marry?''<br /> ''Yeah, is there a problem?''<br /> ''A problem?'' I ask in disbelief.<br /> ''Of course there is a problem. You are old and I can't marry you.'' I raised my voice.<br /> ''First, you'll lower your voice. Second, I won't tolerate you disrespect.'' He paused but continued.<br /> ''I may be older than you but I'm not old.'' He emphasized old.<br /> ''How old are anyway?'' I ask.<br /> ''Thirty five.'' I widen my eyes.<br /> ''Do you know how old I am?''<br /> ''You are eighteen.''<br /> ''And you have no problem with that?''<br /> I ask feeling surprised how nonchalant he is about this whole situation.<br /> He leaned closer to me on a table.<br /> ''Let me tell you something. I'm not marrying you so we can be lovey dovey . Understand?'' He had this threatening look that made me feel fear.<br /> ''Then why do you want to marry me?''<br /> ''I have a daughter. Her biological mother is a bimbo who left her to me. She has been always asking me where is her mother and I couldn't bring myself to tell her. I just want her to have a mother figure in her life. She already got excited when I mentioned you to her. So you have no choice then to marry me, alright? And if you have this fu ing attitude, you are going to get it fixed or I will fix it for you.'' He spat last sentence harshly.<br /> ''What about my education? I want to go on a college.'' I say still standing my ground.<br /> ''Who said you are not going on a college? I won't marry so you'll be perfect housewife but just to be a mother to Sofia.''<br /> ''How old is she?''<br /> ''Three years old.'' I saw his face soften as he spoke about her.<br /> After a short silence, I spoke up again.<br /> ''Can I at least think about all of this?''<br /> ''There is nothing for you to think about, you'll just have to get used to this. Because there is no declining.''<br /> I nodded my head, biting my lip to stop tears from falling. I took a sip of water to clear my throat. I really have no escape from this, huh?<br /> ''I think I should go home.'' I took my purse and got up.<br /> ''I'll drive you.'' He already got up before I could protest.<br /> He led us to a really nice car. I told him the directions to my house and he came really fast. I muttered bye and got out before he managed to say something.<br /> <br /> Edward's POV<br /> ''Daddy when are we going to meet mommy?'' Sofia whined tugging on my hand.<br /> ''Soon princess.''<br /> ''But you said that a week ago.''<br /> ''Sofia you need to know that mommy will come for sure but she wouldn't like her daughter to be impatient. Okay?''<br /> She made pouted lips but nodded.<br /> ''Okay.''<br /> ''Do you want to go play now?'' I say trying to lighten her mood.<br /> ''Yes.'' She chirped and ran to the room.<br /> I took my phone and dialled Anna's number. I was glad that she answered fast.<br /> ''Hello?''<br /> ''Hi Anna.''<br /> ''Hi.''<br /> ''I wanted to ask you when you are free?''<br /> ''Why?''<br /> ''Sofia wants to meet you.''<br /> ''Oh really?'' She sounded happy about it.<br /> ''Yes. I wanted to introduce you to her. So if you have time-'' I was cut off.<br /> ''Yeah, sure. Is Thursday okay?''<br /> ''Yeah perfect.''<br /> ''Great.''<br /> ''Thank you Anna. See you in two days.''<br /> ''Bye.''<br /> She hung down and I put my phone on a table. I'm surprised that she was chill about meeting her. Sofia is like magnet for people and maybe for Anna also.<br /> Anna is actually really pretty and I'm really glad that I chose her. She also seem that she will take good care of Sofia which I'll be happy to see. Sofia just wants a mother and mother's love.<br /> I know I'm not good enough to take a roll of a mother but I really put a great effort in these past three years. My daughter is worth everything on this world and I wouldn't trade a world for her. She is small bundle of joy in my life.<br /> She is the one that can make me smile easily and melt right when I see her. I feel like a little child around her and that brings memories. She is my everything. I just hope Anna will like her.<br /> <br /> Anna's POV<br /> I'm so nervous. I'm going to meet the kid that I was supposed to be a mother to. She is basically my daughter then.<br /> Edward told me to come to their house so we could be more comfortable. I'm also nervous because of that. I'm going to live there in a few months.<br /> I didn't know what to wear but then decided on a white crop top with thin straps and blue jeans. I slipped in my shoes and tied the laces.<br /> I called the cab and gave a driver the address. After 10 minutes or so, we arrived at big mansion. I gawked at the house in awe. It's so pretty and beautiful.<br /> After I payed my far, I entered the big door. Driveway was also big and there were few cars different colors. I knocked on the front door and not surprisingly, Edward opened it.<br /> He checked me from head to toe and his eyes darkened. He moved aside motioning me to come in.<br /> "Get inside." I passed past him and waited for him to close the door.<br /> "Where is Sofia?" I ask looking around this beautiful mansion.<br /> "She is upstairs. Go sit in in the living room, I'll go get her." Does he really have to be so rude? I brushed off his rude behaviour and found my way to the living room.<br /> This room is huge. Probably the biggest living room, I ever saw. There are two black leather couches with matching armchair. And there is enormous TV across them. I could get used to this.<br /> I soon heard giggles coming in the living room. I turned around to see Edward holding a hand to a beautiful little girl. She is so gorgeous and she got her father's look which I'm not complaining about. I mean they are both really pretty looking.<br /> I smiled at her showing my white teeth. She seemed to be in some daze before she looked over at Edward.<br /> "Daddy she is very pretty."<br /> "She is." He smiled to her. I blushed at their words and his smile is really beautiful. But as soon as he looked over at me his smile disappeared and he replaced it with a stern look like always.<br /> I ignored him and crounched down to her eye level.<br /> "Thank you Sofia. You are really gorgeous too." I smiled when I saw her cheeks getting pink.<br /> "Thank you." She smiled shyly. I just want to squish her chubby cheeks.<br /> "How about you two get to know each other and I'll come when is dinner time." Edward said.<br /> "Daddy you won't play with us?" Sofia said with a pout. Aww.<br /> "No princess. I need to work but I will come for the dinner, okay?"<br /> "Okay."<br /> "Princess maybe you should go to your room and prepare toys while I talk to Anna about something."<br /> She nodded and ran off upstairs. She seems really active kid since she has a speed for running that fast. I lifted myself and turned to look at him.<br /> "While I'm gone, I don't want any problem to occur. Dinner time is around 7 o'clock and I'll be here by then."<br /> "Okay." I say.<br /> "Better." He went upstairs and I followed him as I remebered that Sofia is waiting for me. He pointed to the door on the left and I nodded. The doors were open and I saw Sofia already on the chair with tea cups on it.<br /> I sat at the floor and criss crossed my legs.<br /> "We are having a tea party." She giggled.<br /> "May I ask if you would pour me some tea, princess?" I acted the same as her which seemed to excite her.<br /> She poured invisible tea in the white princess cup in front of me. I acted as I was drinking it on which she giggled. She is really bubbly kid and always happy as I see.<br /> "The tea is really delicious, my princess."<br /> "There is actually no tea, mommy." She giggled but once she realized what she said she covered her mouth with her small hand. I got some really happy feeling inside me when she called me mommy.<br /> "I'm sorry for calling you mommy."<br /> "Why are you sorry?" I ask confused.<br /> "Daddy told me to not call you mommy yet."<br /> "Daddy huh?" I say annoyed. This idiot. She nodded her head.<br /> "Sofia, do you want me to be your mommy?" I ask her softly. She again nodded her head causing her braids to bounce.<br /> "Then I'm your mommy and you can call me like that." I smiled.<br /> She squealed and jumped in my arms. I catched her and hugged her tightly. She is so innocent and fragile little girl. I just can't say anything that will hurt her.<br /> "Thank you mommy." She smiled and her eyes sparkled.<br /> "Thank you too for accepting me." She put big wet peck on my cheek.<br /> "You are the prettiest mommy ever." She said.<br /> "Thank you." I pecked her forehead and got up. I lifted her up and sat her on my hip.<br /> "Do you want to show mommy the kitchen?" She nodded her head.<br /> I exited the room with her in my arms and she pointed to the stairs. I climbed downstairs and she pointed to the right. There was a big open kitchen with huge island. I saw her high chair and put her inside.<br /> "Do you want me to bake cookies?" I ask her.<br /> ''You know how to bake?" She widened her eyes as she couldn't believe what I just said.<br /> "Of course I know." I said proud of myself.<br /> "That's is so cool mommy. Can I help you?"<br /> "Sure, but I need to take the ingredients first, okay?" She nodded her head in anticipation.<br /> I searched through every cupboard until I found everything I needed. I took her out of her chair and put her on the island carefully. We were making cookie dough together and all I can say about her is that she is really precious.<br /> After cookies were done, I put them in a plate. I wondered who is making dinner when there is nobody in the house then some older woman I now know as Mary entered the house.<br /> She introduced herself as Sofia's nanny and a cook in this house. She was happy when I introduced myself as Edward's fiancee even if I'm not so happy. I took Sofia to the living room and played some cartoons on the TV until dinner was ready.<br /> She was sitting in my lap leaned on my chest when I heard the door opening. I turned around to see Edward with some suitcase in his hand. He looked over to us, loosening his tie.<br /> "Hello princess." He smiled at her and picked her up.<br /> "Hi daddy."<br /> "Were you good today?"<br /> "I was. Me and mommy were playing then we baked cookies."<br /> He looked over at me with furrowed eyebrows. I raised my eyebrow at him but he brushed it off and turned to look at Sofia.<br /> "That's great. You need to wash your hands now then we are going to eat a dinner, okay?" She nodded her head and he pecked her cheek then put her down.<br /> After she runned to the bathroom, he looked at me in confusion.<br /> "What?" I ask annoyed.<br /> ''I told her to call me mommy after a certain person said no."<br /> "I just thought you would be uncomfortable with it."<br /> "I'm not." Sofia came back and pulled my hand towards the dinning room.<br /> There were three plates set up with different food on a table. I sat next to the Edward and Sofia sat next to me. I cut her food in small pieces so she could chew easily. I noticed that Edward was staring at me but ignored it.<br /> "Daddy can mommy stay for tonight, please?" She made puppy eyes.<br /> "If she wants to." He shrugged.<br /> "Will you mommy?"<br /> "I can stay." I couldn't say no to this cute face so I accepted.<br /> She squealed and hugged me. I'm actually proud that I can be a mother to such cute and kind little girl. She really can lighten everyone's mood quickly.<br /> Sofia was sleepy so we put her in a bed and Edward led me to the guest room. He told me he would bring his shirt for me to sleep in because he doesn't have any woman's clothes.<br /> I laid in a bed after I changed myself. This was really excited day. I actually became Sofia's mom and I like it. His shirt smells nice and just lures me to sleep. And that's exactly what I did.<br /> <br /> ''Mommy, I miss you. When will you come?'' Sofia whined on the other side of a phone.<br /> ''Aww, I miss you too baby. I'll come this afternoon.''<br /> ''Yayy. I can't wait to see you mommy.''<br /> ''Me too princess.'' I smiled.<br /> The bell rang for the end of a lunch.<br /> ''Baby, mommy needs to go.''<br /> ''Okay mommy. Bye.'' She made a peck sound as she hung down the phone.<br /> I put my phone in a pocket and looked over to the girls. They were smirking at me.<br /> ''You turned into a mother material in just two weeks.'' Kelly said.<br /> ''You should see her. She is so cute and adorable.'' I say.<br /> ''She is already calling you mommy?'' Milla asked.<br /> ''At first Edward told her not to but I saw that she was sad about it so I let her.'' I shrugg.<br /> We got in a classroom and I sat with Jennifer. I was thinking about Edward and our relationship. I know that we don't love each other and all that, but to ly talk? Like about some imporatant stuff or just as friends.<br /> He is never home when I come to see Sofia and when we see each other it's usually just ''hi'' or ''bye''. Not even the worst enemies talk so little.<br /> I was thinking about all of this until I needed to go to Sofia. I learned that her favourite snacks are gummy bears so I bought them on my way there.<br /> I came in the house and didn't bother to knock on it. Sofia probably heard me entering when she rushed to the stairs but fell on a floor.<br /> I rushed to her and picked her up.<br /> ''Baby are you okay?''<br /> ''I'm okay mommy.'' She giggled and pecked my cheek. A wave of relief passed through me.<br /> ''Are you sure? Does anything hurt you?''<br /> ''I'm fine.''<br /> ''Okay. Did Mary bath you?''<br /> ''Not yet.'' She shook her head.<br /> ''Alright then. Mommy will give you a bath.'' I pecked her cheek and went in her room.<br /> I took pink panties for her and blue onesie. I took her in a bathroom and started the warm water. I put mix for bubble bath which made her squeal in happiness.<br /> When the water was ready, I undressed her and put her in the tub. She seemed to enjoy it a lot. I washed her hair and body then let her play with her toys for a while.<br /> I took her out of the bathtub and dried her off. When I finished, I put her on my hip and went downstairs to eat something.<br /> ''Did you like the bath?'' I ask her putting her in her high chair.<br /> ''Yeah mommy. You make the best baths ever.'' She smiled.<br /> ''I will always do them just for you.''<br /> I made us toast then gave her gummy bears I bought. She was so happy about it and she was going to eat whole bag if I didn't stop her.<br /> Sofia wanted me to hold her and I could tell she was sleepy. I took her in my arms and she immediately wrapped her tiny arms around my neck. I was keeping her bottom and started rocking her slowly.<br /> I could tell she was out when I heard her breath even. Suddenly bell on the front door rang. I opened door in confusion to see some older woman in very tight clothes.<br /> ''Hello. Who do you need?''<br /> ''I came to see my daughter.'' I cringed on her voice.<br /> ''I'm sorry. You must mistook something.''<br /> ''I didn't mistake anything. I came to see my daughter Sofia.'' She acted stubborn.<br /> ''I repeat again that you mistook something, because I'm Sofia's mother.'' I was already annoyed with her arrival.<br /> ''I gave birth to her. That means I'm her mother.''<br /> ''No you are not her mother or you'll ever be.'' I heard familiar voice behind her.<br /> Edward came next to me and wrapped his arm around me. I felt Sofia started moving around so stroked her back to put her back to sleep.<br /> ''I don't want to see you ever again, in front of my daughter or my fiancee.'' He said protectively tightening his hand on my stomach.<br /> ''Fiancee? This bimbo is your fiancee?'' She checked me up and down in disgust.<br /> ''I said shut up and get lost bimbo.'' He spat and leaned in my touch as it would calm him down.<br /> ''You'll see what was going to happen.'' She threatened and turned around then left.<br /> ''Mommy?'' I heard Sofia's sleepy voice. Jeez, this woman just awoken my daughter with her awful voice.

1,540,925	/src/Template/Ads/index.ctp (line 281) null	Yes	2024-04-27 19:37	active	615	399427846297366	Read next chapter	#Chapter1 Revenge<br /> <br /> "Miss Edwards, I need your signature on this consent form for artificial insemination surgery," said the lawyer as he presented the document to Ariana Edwards. <br /> <br /> Ariana gripped the pen, her knuckles turning white as she stared at the consent form. <br /> <br /> The surgery was scheduled for tomorrow, and today was her wedding. <br /> <br /> The donor of the sperm was none other than Theodore Anderson, the eldest son of the wealthy Anderson family, and also her groom. <br /> <br /> But fate had dealt a cruel hand. Theodore had been in a horrific car accident three months prior and was now comatose, unlikely to ever recover. His life hung by a thread, and it was uncertain how long he would last. <br /> <br /> The Anderson family, known for their fixation on succession and legacy, was desperate to ensure Theodore's bloodline would continue. So his father, Darian Anderson, took it upon himself to get his son a wife. The sperm that Theodore froze years ago was going to be inseminated into the bride's womb before he died. <br /> <br /> As Ariana looked down at the consent form in front of her, her complexion was ashen, and her eyes betrayed a subtle sense of panic. <br /> <br /> "Please, can you give me some space to collect my thoughts? I need to read through it carefully," she said to the lawyer, her voice trembling with emotion. <br /> <br /> After a few seconds of silence, the lawyer nodded and left the room. <br /> <br /> The lawyer's departure left the room in an eerie silence. Ariana immediately placed the consent form on the table. She had to call Jasper Anderson, her secret boyfriend, for help. <br /> <br /> As fate would have it, Jasper, Theodore's half-brother, was the mastermind behind this wedding. <br /> <br /> Ariana's life had been turned upside down by the recent passing of her father, and the ruthlessness of her stepmother, Glenda Edwards. Ariana was left with nothing, not even her deceased mother's belongings which were also taken away. <br /> <br /> Just when Ariana felt cornered, Jasper came to her with a proposition: she would pretend to marry Theodore, and they would find a way to sabotage the surgery. After Theodore's death, Jasper would become the sole heir of the Anderson family, and in return, he promised to marry Ariana and help her reclaim her mother's belongings. <br /> <br /> Ariana, under Jasper's spell, initially agreed to the plan. However, as the wedding drew closer, she realized that she couldn't go through with it. <br /> <br /> Desperately seeking Jasper's comfort and counsel, Ariana tried calling him, but to no avail. <br /> <br /> In a state of anxiety, she sneaked out to look for him. She took off her high heels, held them in her hands, and walked down the corridor, her heart racing with fear and anticipation. <br /> <br /> Ariana's footsteps came to a sudden halt as she approached the last lounge at the end of the corridor. <br /> <br /> A faint noise could be heard coming from the slightly open door. It was the sound of a familiar giggle. <br /> <br /> Through the crack, she heard a familiar voice. "Stay with me for a little longer, Jasper. Ariana doesn't have time to look for you now."<br /> <br /> Her heart sank, and she inched closer to the door, peering inside through the small opening. She saw Brielle Edwards, her half-sister, and Jasper on the sofa. <br /> <br /> Jasper spoke impatiently as he pushed Brielle away to get up. "I need to keep an eye on her. I'm afraid she will have cold feet about the wedding."<br /> <br /> But Brielle, carelessly dismissing the concern, got close to him and said, "Oh, stop worrying so much. She always listens to you. Besides, we have her mother's belongings with us. She wouldn't dare to run away."<br /> <br /> Jasper seemed relieved. "You're right. Thank you, baby. I will get rid of her when I finish the plan. I only want you..."<br /> <br /> Ariana watched in horror as they talked about their scheme against her. <br /> <br /> The reality of the situation hit her hard, and she was left reeling, struggling to maintain her balance as she stumbled backward. <br /> <br /> The betrayal was too much for Ariana to bear. Her heart shattered into a million pieces as tears streamed down her cheeks. <br /> <br /> Fury surged through her veins, and she balled her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. She listened to them with a mix of disgust and rage. <br /> <br /> But Ariana was not defeated. She had to take action. She would not let Jasper and Brielle get away with their treachery. <br /> <br /> With newfound determination, she wiped away her tears, slipped on her high heels, and strode back to the room. Without a moment's hesitation, she signed the consent form, determined to become the true daughter-in-law of the Anderson family. <br /> <br /> And she would make sure that Jasper and Brielle would pay for their betrayal, no matter what it took. <br /> <br /> * At night, the Anderson family's residence was illuminated by bright lights, casting a glow over the extravagant surroundings. <br /> <br /> Ariana was escorted to Theodore's room by the housekeeper, just after the wedding. <br /> <br /> This was the first time she was meeting her so-called husband. <br /> <br /> According to Jasper, Theodore was a man with a terrible temper, a bad character, and a cruel personality. He was even cold to his own family. Jasper used every insulting word to describe Theodore, even "ugly."<br /> <br /> Ariana had believed Jasper's words and was mentally prepared to face a husband who was anything but handsome. However, when she saw Theodore for the first time, even though he was ill, she couldn't help but notice his inherent nobility and incredibly handsome appearance. <br /> <br /> Ariana stood motionless beside the bed, admiring Theodore's stunning features, and began to doubt everything Jasper had told her. <br /> <br /> At that moment, Jasper pushed the door open and swaggered into the room, speaking loudly and with no regard for Theodore's condition. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Aria. I was too preoccupied today, and I regret not answering your call," Jasper uttered, feigning remorse. <br /> <br /> Ariana had to play along with Jasper's scheme for the time being, so she replied, "It's alright. Don't worry about it."<br /> <br /> Jasper's smug grin widened. "I knew you would forgive me; you love me too much," he said confidently. <br /> <br /> Ariana clenched her fists, containing her fury. "It's late now. We can talk about whatever you wanted to discuss tomorrow."<br /> <br /> Jasper locked the door, plunging the room into darkness, and slowly approached her. <br /> <br /> Ariana retreated nervously, questioning him, "Jasper, what do you want from me?"<br /> <br /> With a wicked smirk, Jasper pounced on her, saying, "We shouldn't waste time. If you carry my child, our child will become an Anderson heir."<br /> <br /> Jasper didn't take Theodore seriously. How dare he want to do that right in front of his brother! <br /> <br /> Ariana fought back, shouting, "Let me go!"<br /> <br /> Jasper abruptly halted, and Ariana gazed up at him, dazed. She saw his expression shift to one of pure terror, as if he had seen a ghost behind her. <br /> <br /> In a trembling voice, Jasper muttered, "Theodore..."<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> #Chapter2 Artificial Insemination Operation<br /> <br /> Jasper immediately took to his heels.<br /> <br /> Ariana was confused. What was wrong with him? Did Theodore wake up?<br /> <br /> She quickly turned around, but she didn't notice anything odd. Theodore was still lying on the bed, and his breath was as steady and quiet as before.<br /> <br /> The only difference was that one of his hands was out of the quilt.<br /> <br /> Ariana tilted her head and studied the hand for a while. It looked limp, so she felt that it probably fell out when she bumped into the bedframe while trying to dodge Jasper.<br /> <br /> "Theodore?" Ariana called tentatively.<br /> <br /> There was no response.<br /> <br /> She leaned forward and called out more firmly, "Hey, Theodore!"<br /> <br /> Still, she got no response.<br /> <br /> Ariana swallowed hard and slowly walked to the bedside. She carefully took hold of his hand and put it back under the quilt. Theodore still didn't move a muscle during the process. This eased her mind greatly. It turned out he was still in a deep coma.<br /> <br /> Perhaps Jasper had hallucinated.<br /> <br /> Ariana breathed a sigh of relief.<br /> <br /> The room returned to its usual quietness again. Ariana's heart was still beating fast. For some unknown reason, she feared that Theodore would suddenly open his eyes. She sat on the edge of the bed and stared at him closely. A while later, she dozed off due to tiredness.<br /> <br /> The next day, Ariana woke up to find herself lying on the edge of the bed. She quickly turned her head to look at Theodore. To her relief, he didn't seem to have moved an inch the whole night. Ariana felt the weight of uncertainty drop off her shoulders now.<br /> <br /> She finally ruled out the possibility that Jasper had really seen Theodore move last night.<br /> <br /> Ariana went to the bathroom to wash up. While she was brushing her teeth, her eyes fell on a red mark on her neck. It wasn't there before. It looked like someone had pinched her there recently.<br /> <br /> When Ariana remembered the struggle with Jasper last night, she reasoned that the red mark was his doing.<br /> <br /> Disgust surged inside her at the thought of that betrayer.<br /> <br /> Ariana set down her toothbrush and went back into the bedroom. She put on a turtleneck top to cover the mark.<br /> <br /> When she was all dressed up, she went downstairs.<br /> <br /> She had just gotten to the bottom stair when Jasper appeared out of nowhere and pulled her into a cubicle nearby.<br /> <br /> "Did Theodore wake up last night?" he whispered into her ear, fearing that someone would hear them.<br /> <br /> Ariana felt sick to her stomach at the sight of Jasper. She took two steps back and replied expressionlessly, "No, he didn't."<br /> <br /> "That's good to know. My eyes tricked me last night. For a second, I thought Theodore opened his eyes and stared daggers at me. Thank goodness it was just an illusion." Jasper took a deep breath, feeling relieved. He flashed his usual sunny smile.<br /> <br /> This smile used to send excitement through Ariana's body in the past. But now, she hated it. She lowered her eyes so he wouldn't see the resentment in her eyes.<br /> <br /> Oblivious to the real reason, Jasper felt that she was unhappy because of what happened last night. He apologized softly. "I'm sorry about what happened, Aria. I didn't mean to be rough with you."<br /> <br /> Ariana forced a smile. "Okay, it's fine."<br /> <br /> She then made up an excuse so she could leave the cubicle immediately.<br /> <br /> When she got to the dining room, she saw that Darian was already seated at the table. He was a serious man who rarely smiled. After Ariana greeted him, he only nodded slightly. He exuded a cold and uncaring aura.<br /> <br /> On the other hand, Sharon, Theodore's stepmother, was enthusiastic. She was Jasper's biological mother, so she probably knew about his plan. It was the only logical explanation for her excessive warmth and friendliness.<br /> <br /> Ariana felt uncomfortable throughout breakfast.<br /> <br /> Once they were done eating, Darian took her to the private hospital owned by the Anderson family.<br /> <br /> Jasper came along. When Ariana was being ushered into the operating room, he gave her a knowing look.<br /> <br /> Ariana took the hint.<br /> <br /> She smiled to assure him that she hadn't forgotten the plan. But the moment she turned around, her smile vanished. She walked into the operating room with a cold face.<br /> <br /> Fear slowly crept into her heart at this time. But when she remembered how Jasper had betrayed her, she gritted her teeth and balled her fists. She was hell-bent on getting revenge and taking back what rightfully belonged to her.<br /> <br /> The insemination took about an hour. Ariana, whose face was pale, was wheeled out in a wheelchair. The doctor took off his mask and said to Darian, "Everything went well, Mr. Anderson. Now, we have to wait for about a month to confirm if it is successful."<br /> <br /> Jasper's face darkened as soon as he heard this.<br /> <br /> In contrast, Darian's usually cold face lit up with a smile. Even a blind man could see that he was pleased with the news. He looked at Ariana with an expression of satisfaction. Afterward, he ordered one of his drivers to drive her and Jasper back home.<br /> <br /> On the way, Jasper's face was red with anger. Several green veins became visible on his forehead and temples, but he didn't utter a word.<br /> <br /> Ariana didn't bother speaking to him. She looked out of the window, lost in thought.<br /> <br /> Once they got out of the car, Jasper flipped out. He grabbed her arm and pulled her to the garden to give her a piece of his mind.<br /> <br /> "Ariana! I thought we agreed that you would ruin the operation. Why didn't you do so?" Jasper growled.<br /> <br /> As far as Ariana was concerned, she didn't owe this backstabber an explanation. He disgusted her. She shook off his hand and said coldly, "Mind the way you speak to me, Jasper. I'm your sister-in-law now!"<br /> <br /> Jasper held his head and let out an angry laugh. He kicked the tree nearby. "What did you just say? Are you kidding me?"<br /> <br /> Ariana's heart skipped a beat when she saw his bloodshot eyes. She spun on her heels, but Jasper pulled her back.<br /> <br /> "Did I tell you to leave? Don't even dare walk out on me, Ariana! I'm not done speaking to you!" Sparks of fury burned in Jasper's eyes.<br /> <br /> Ariana was both scared and annoyed. She tried to break free while glaring at him. "Let go of me!"<br /> <br /> Jasper grabbed her with both hands and leaned over. "This wasn't what we agreed on. Are you trying to pull a fast one on me now that you are married to Theodore? Just so you know, you can't get rid of me. There's no telling that you would get pregnant. Even if you do, Theodore won't be able to protect you and your baby."<br /> <br /> "Bah! How are you so sure about that? Theodore is still alive, isn't he?" Ariana sneered. "No matter what happens, I'm still your sister-in-law. You better come to terms with it now!"<br /> <br /> This comment drove Jasper nuts. He raised his hand to slap her.<br /> <br /> But before that could happen, a servant rushed out of the house and shouted, "Ma'am! Mr. Theodore Anderson just woke up. He wants to see you!"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> #Chapter3 He Woke Up<br /> <br /> Ariana and Jasper were both taken aback by the sudden revelation that Theodore had awakened from his coma. <br /> <br /> Jasper's face contorted with anger as he tightened his grip on Ariana's arm, accusing her of deception. "You lied to me? What I saw last night wasn't an illusion. You knew Theodore woke up, didn't you? That's why you've been acting so strange today!"<br /> <br /> Ariana refused to explain, her expression turning into a sneer as she shrugged off Jasper's grasp, leaving him behind as she followed the servant's lead. <br /> <br /> Jasper seethed with anger, his fists clenching as he watched her retreating form. He kicked a nearby flowerpot in frustration, the sound of shattering pottery echoing through the garden. <br /> <br /> The sprawling Andersons' estate was a maze of hallways and rooms, adorned with vibrant flowers in every shade. Ariana made her way down the endless corridor, lost in her thoughts and worries. She finally reached the small villa where Theodore was recuperating, nestled behind the lush garden. <br /> <br /> The peaceful surroundings were bathed in warm sunlight, a sharp contrast to the chaos in Ariana's mind. <br /> <br /> She couldn't shake the worries that clouded her thoughts, unsure if Theodore had awoken during the night or overheard her conversation with Jasper. <br /> <br /> Ariana's heart raced as she contemplated what would happen if Theodore had heard the conversation between her and Jasper. <br /> <br /> Her face was drained of color, her eyes filled with fear. <br /> <br /> Her husband was known to be cruel and merciless, with power and connections that reached far and wide, even among the police and gangs. Those who dared to cross him often met with a grisly fate. <br /> <br /> "Ma'am, here we are." Ariana was jolted back to reality by the servant's voice. <br /> <br /> She breathed deeply, steeled herself, and took a slow step inside. Coincidentally, Darian dashed toward her, both of them exchanging brief greetings. <br /> <br /> And in silence, they walked through the villa's entrance. <br /> <br /> A group of doctors encircled Theodore on the huge bed as they approached. <br /> <br /> After the examination, the attending doctor sighed and said, "Although Mr. Theodore Anderson has regained consciousness, the accident has taken a toll on his body, particularly his legs. They are too damaged, and he will never be able to walk normally again. Physiotherapy will take a long time."<br /> <br /> Darian's disbelief was palpable. "You mean he's... he's disabled?"<br /> <br /> Ariana frowned, and to her surprise, she glimpsed relief in Darian's expression. <br /> <br /> "I'm afraid so," the doctor admitted with deep regret. <br /> <br /> "I see. You can leave now." With a flick of his wrist, Darian dismissed the doctors and turned his attention to Theodore, wearing an unusually soft smile. "Rest well, Theodore. You shouldn't worry about anything else. I'll find the best doctor to treat your legs."<br /> <br /> Then, Darian turned to Ariana and said, "You may have to take care of Theodore from now on."<br /> <br /> Ariana almost wanted to roll her eyes at Darian. She couldn't help but think that he was making her his son's caregiver. <br /> <br /> Theodore sat propped up against the headboard, his eyes filled with an icy indifference that sent shivers down anyone's spine. He seemed aloof and detached from everything around him, his face shrouded with an icy chill. <br /> <br /> Finally, he looked up and locked his gaze with Darian's, asking in a frigid tone, "Who is she?"<br /> <br /> Ariana was taken aback by Theodore's short question, unsure how to respond to him. Her heart raced, and her mind raced faster. <br /> <br /> She didn't even know how to introduce herself to him. <br /> <br /> The thought of Theodore being able to leave this arranged marriage at any moment caused Ariana to shiver. <br /> <br /> She had to see her plan through; otherwise, it would all be for nothing. <br /> <br /> "She is your wife, Ariana Edwards," Darian said. <br /> <br /> Theodore's expression turned colder. "I don't remember having a wife. Where did you find this liar?" he said, disdain dripping from his words. <br /> <br /> "I arranged her for you," Darian replied in a tone that was uncharacteristically sharp. "Everyone knows it."<br /> <br /> But Theodore wasn't going to let it go so easily. "Then I'll divorce her!" he spat. "Not just anyone can be my wife. If you want someone to take care of me, you'd better hire a caregiver directly."<br /> <br /> The words hung in the air, freezing the already tense atmosphere. Darian's face twitched with anger, but he restrained himself. "Divorce is impossible," he said through gritted teeth. <br /> <br /> Theodore sneered at Darian. "What right do you have to make decisions for me?"<br /> <br /> The tension was palpable in the room as Ariana stood. She felt like a mere onlooker to the father and son's tumultuous relationship. <br /> <br /> Darian's voice quivered with fury as he growled, "It was already decided. Ariana just underwent the artificial insemination surgery, and there's a chance she's carrying your child."<br /> <br /> Theodore's eyes snapped to Ariana, scanning her form as if she was a mere object. <br /> <br /> It felt like an eternity before he chuckled and asked Ariana, "So, should I arrange a doctor for you to get rid of the baby?"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> #Chapter4 He Knew It<br /> <br /> Ariana was in shock after hearing what Theodore had said. She stood there, paralyzed and speechless. <br /> <br /> Darian was seething with anger and lashed out, "What are you saying? This child is of the Anderson family's lineage!"<br /> <br /> To this, Theodore replied with icy detachment, "The Anderson family has many descendants. This one can be abandoned. And if you don't want to abandon it, I have ways to make it disappear."<br /> <br /> Every word was like a crushing blow to Ariana's heart, leaving her unsettled and anxious. <br /> <br /> Darian was beyond furious and he pointed a trembling finger at Theodore. "How dare you speak to me in that manner? You are an ingrate! Do you not consider me your father?"<br /> <br /> Theodore let out a cold sneer. "Father? You are not worthy of being called that, Darian."<br /> <br /> The atmosphere was tense, as Darian's hand came down hard on the lamp, sending it crashing to the floor. <br /> <br /> Ariana took a step back, wary of the explosive emotions of the father and son. <br /> <br /> Despite Darian's rage, Theodore remained unperturbed. He appeared to be accustomed to the violent outbursts of his father, casually picking up a glass of water and taking a leisurely sip, unfazed by the intense situation. <br /> <br /> Darian took a deep breath, his body radiating anger as he realized there was no use in continuing the conversation. "It's too soon to be discussing a divorce," he said, his words dripping with authority. "Ariana just underwent the artificial insemination surgery. We would only find out if it was successful in a month. If you are still adamant about getting a divorce, then we can discuss it."<br /> <br /> He emphasized the last sentence and leveled a sharp look at Theodore, daring him to object. <br /> <br /> Theodore, however, sneered and remained silent. Even weakened by his illness, he exuded an aura of power that belied his physical state. <br /> <br /> "Think about it," Darian spat out, the frustration clear in his voice, before turning and storming off in a huff. <br /> <br /> Ariana stood there, unsure of what to do to break the tension between her and Theodore. <br /> <br /> They were married now, and Ariana might have been carrying his child. It would be easier for everyone if they could get along civilly in their future life together. <br /> <br /> But then, she thought about how much he must be suffering from his disability and his short temper. <br /> <br /> After careful consideration, Ariana decided to take the first step to mend their relationship. If she could show him kindness and care, perhaps she could use his affection for her to advance her own plans for revenge. <br /> <br /> Tentatively, Ariana stepped closer to Theodore's bedside and looked upon his handsome face with nervousness. <br /> <br /> She hesitated for a moment, steeling herself to start a conversation. His gaze was cold and unyielding, but she had to try. "Mr. Anderson, my name is Ariana, and I'm your wife..."<br /> <br /> Her voice trailed off as his icy stare bore into her. She knew she was telling the truth, but he didn't seem to want to accept it. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, Theodore's hand shot out and seized hers in a tight grip. Ariana gasped in surprise and stumbled, falling into his arms. <br /> <br /> His body was warm and his scent was intoxicating, overwhelming her senses. <br /> <br /> As she struggled to right herself, Theodore put his other hand on her nape and pressed her head closer. <br /> <br /> Fear welled up inside her as Ariana realized just how dangerous this man could be. <br /> <br /> "You don't have what it takes to be my wife. This position demands someone who isn't a coward, someone who isn't afraid of me. Do you have a guilty conscience? Is that why you're so nervous around me?" Theodore's breath was hot on Ariana's neck as he leaned in to whisper these cutting words, causing her to shiver in fear. <br /> <br /> He gazed down at Ariana as his slender fingers slid beneath the collar of her turtleneck blouse and then touched her neck with the tenderness of a doting lover. <br /> <br /> His gesture sent shivers down her spine and she felt her heart race. <br /> <br /> Ariana's voice quavered with trepidation as she stuttered, "I... I don't."<br /> <br /> Theodore sneered with a malevolent glint in his eyes, relishing the fear he had induced in her. <br /> <br /> Ariana could feel his heartbeat, each thump ringing in her ears like a death knell. <br /> <br /> What did he mean by this? <br /> <br /> Theodore's voice was low and menacing. "Did you enjoy your time with Jasper in front of me?"<br /> <br /> Panic settled in as Ariana realized that Theodore was awake the entire time on their wedding night. He had seen Jasper sneaking into their room. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> #Chapter5 Terrifying Husband<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Theodore's eyes bored into her, and for a moment, he seemed to take pleasure in her panic. But when his gaze fell on her belly, his expression twisted into one of pure malice. A cold, cruel glint flickered in his eyes, sending shivers down Ariana's spine. <br /> <br /> "You'd better hope that you're not pregnant," he hissed, his voice laced with venom. "Because if you are, I'll make sure it never sees the light of day."<br /> <br /> Her heart sank as she heard the threat in his words. Theodore was every bit as ruthless as Jasper had warned her. Maybe even worse. <br /> <br /> In a desperate bid to save her own life, Ariana lowered her head, her voice trembling with fear as she tried to explain herself. "Theodore, please listen to me. I broke up with Jasper, and I never..."<br /> <br /> "Get out!" Theodore's patience ran out, and his face twisted into an icy mask. "I never want to see your face again."<br /> <br /> Ariana realized that convincing Theodore was impossible, no matter how much she tried. She hastened to make her escape, but on her way out, she collided with a sophisticated gentleman in a sleek suit. <br /> <br /> Trembling, she apologized quickly and bolted out of Theodore's room, not daring to look back. <br /> <br /> Once Horace Silence strode into the room, he immediately observed Theodore's intense gaze fixed on the spot where Ariana had vanished. It was as if he was lost in deep contemplation, mulling over something of great importance. <br /> <br /> After a moment's reflection, Horace placed a test report on the nearby bedside table. <br /> <br /> "According to the doctor, your body is healthy, and after some remedial exercises of your legs, you can fully recover. He will continue to cooperate with your orders and pretend that your legs are disabled. Everyone in the Anderson family believes it," Horace reported to his boss. <br /> <br /> Theodore smiled, the satisfaction clear in his eyes. "Let's keep them in the dark for a little longer. I want them to think they are invincible before I destroy them."<br /> <br /> Horace then took out another document. <br /> <br /> "Boss, this contains information about your new wife, Ariana Edwards," he said, fulfilling his duty as a senior assistant. <br /> <br /> Horace moved to place the document on the bedside table, but Theodore snatched it from him. <br /> <br /> Horace was a bit surprised. Then he spoke with a touch of hesitancy. "You may be surprised to hear this, boss, but Ms. Edwards lived a miserable life. Her life has been marked by a series of unfortunate events that have left her with little recourse. She lost her mother at the tender age of 13, and shortly thereafter, her father remarried a woman who brought with her a girl. The girl is Ms. Edwards' younger half-sister. The existence of Ms. Edwards' stepmother and half-sister was clear proof that her father had been cheating on her mother for ages. <br /> <br /> Fueled by anger, Ms. Edwards left for studies abroad as soon as she became an adult, hoping to escape the pain of her past. However, she didn't get to see her father again before his death. Yet even with her father's passing, she was unable to find closure, as her stepmother seized control of the family's assets and cast her out onto the streets. Given her circumstances, it's possible she felt she had no choice but to marry you..."<br /> <br /> Theodore's eyes narrowed as he perused the report, a slight frown marring his features. "Horace, I can read. I don't need you to interpret," he said in a clipped tone. <br /> <br /> Horace nodded subserviently, but it wasn't long before he could no longer hold his tongue. <br /> <br /> "I just feel that Ms. Edwards' past is a little similar to yours. She also has a stepmother, and was—"<br /> <br /> Theodore's face contorted into a cruel smile as he cut him off. "Do I have to remind you of your surname?" he hissed. <br /> <br /> Horace gulped audibly and took a step back. His boss's threat was clear. He knew better than to push the issue any further. <br /> <br /> Theodore let out a disdainful snort as he recalled the fear that had been etched on Ariana's face. The memory only served to deepen his frown. <br /> <br /> *<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Ariana scurried out of Theodore's room and headed to find the housekeeper, Judy Kelly. <br /> <br /> The warm-hearted, slightly plump middle-aged woman took Ariana's hands in hers as she persuaded, "Mr. Anderson has just woken up and he may need some time to adjust. Love requires patience and understanding. Please, my dear, be obedient and tolerant toward him. Things might turn around for the better soon."<br /> <br /> Ariana bit her tongue, holding back the retort that she wouldn't please that tyrant even if she was out of her mind. <br /> <br /> After Judy arranged a guest room for her, Ariana collapsed onto the bed, exhausted from the day's events. She fell asleep in no time. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Ariana jolted awake to the blaring sound of her phone alarm. As she blinked away the sleep from her eyes, she gazed up at the unfamiliar ceiling, her heart heavy with confusion and worry. Her mind swirled with thoughts of her future and how uncertain it had become. <br /> <br /> Ariana had foolishly believed that her husband's death was imminent and that she could secure her place as an Anderson family daughter-in-law. <br /> <br /> But the reality was far from what she had hoped. Not only had Theodore survived, but he also seemed intent on banishing her from the family altogether. <br /> <br /> Ariana groggily reached over and fumbled with her phone until she found the alarm. As she silenced the ringing, a piece of news caught her bleary eyes. "Hundreds of high-price items are on sale at the auction in Ivebridge..."<br /> <br /> The headline grabbed her attention, and she leaned closer to read more. Her eyes widened in shock as she saw the first item on the auction block was a necklace that belonged to her late mother. <br /> &2&	LEARN_MORE	https://fbweb.moboreader.net/38520322-fb_contact-h	102729319508493	Auroch novel	https://facebook.com/100092728788928	15,160	2	1,122,123,762,324,270	2024-04-27 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	0	0	Learn more	Auroch novel	120208833925950245	fbweb.moboreader.net	NONE	image		https://fbweb.moboreader.net/38520322-fb_contact-hys-0320-core1.html?adid={{ad.id}}&char=066827&accid=263741546706881		2024-04-26 22:11	https://scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440754720_1115629489646375_2470283417416251204_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=RLJZ2RTmO1UAb4hOZOR&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&oh=00_AfCmYOdOpUQRyQOrPD8H5Ez4ruNiPozutXCDzl0YUJuK7Q&oe=663366DA	person_profile	0	Auroch novel	https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440582238_760396269595010_551995007543281278_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=UgprTF0TG5YAb49Vqu2&_nc_oc=Adj_RXaimqrFIyIADHyDgM4UZFklboOhHbaja6wIv4nv1n6mWhwpE_h9NRpYxblKnqFvkiZx68IhErek5xhZrTJX&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=00_AfBxBkIdK_uQKZhbOA6foix7MjdD_enuAZHbom0v31WE0A&oe=6633616C	0	3	Auroch novel	2024-04-27 02:00	View Edit Delete

Her next words took both of them by surprise. She was anything but weak and she knew she deserved a lot better than some douche bag who was disrespectful towards his own mate. Alpha or not, he shouldn't be the one who gets the last laugh.<br /> ***<br /> Nikolina POV<br /> 4 hours earlier<br /> I woke up in a very good mood. I am finally eighteen and today is the day I find my mate. It actually depends on both sides. If they are of age, they'll find each other soon enough, seventeen is the youngest you can be when you find your mate.<br /> However, most of the time, the guy or the girl have to wait for their other half to come of age, which I think is a great idea.<br /> Yes, I'm a werewolf, specifically the current Beta's daughter and soon to be Beta's sister. The disappointment of the family. But that's okay; I'm not very inclined to make them proud or follow in their footsteps, but mostly they want Alex to do it.<br /> Don't get me wrong. I'm not abused or bullied; except for the occasional remarks, shunned from society, the usual stuff.<br /> They say I'm ugly, but I know better than to believe that. I could have been popular due to my blue eyes and gold speckles, blonde hair and hourglass figure. But I like to keep to myself. Plus my hair was naturally blonde unlike my mother's peroxide bleached hair that comes out of bottles and pricey extensions. Actually, dad and Alex both have brown hair so I don't know how I have blonde hair. For months, I even checked the roots of my hair to find some sort of discoloration to prove that even my hair was bleached. But in vain.<br /> My mom was the stereotypical cheerleader in high school while my dad was the “douche” and quarterback. Apparently they want me to be like them, and social hierarchy exists in packs as well. And my brother is following our parents footsteps, sleeping with more than half of the population, while I'm not.<br /> They revel in attention and bullying people who are lower than them, as they say. To the outside world, my family and I love each other. On the inside it’s an extreme hate relationship, something the pack is aware of except for the Alpha and Luna.<br /> If they knew the truth, my parents, Tiffany and Mark, would lose their respect and beloved Alex's position would be taken away from him. Which would obviously take his popularity down a notch. Horrifying for him. Entertaining for me.<br /> Anyways, today is also the soon-to-be Alpha's eighteenth birthday. James Rodriguez.<br /> Sometimes I wonder how someone as sweet and kind as Diana and George, produce a kid like James.<br /> In short, James is the snobby player. It’s actually really surprising how none of the girls are pregnant yet...<br /> Back to me, I dressed up with more care than usual. I wore a baby pink sundress with black gladiator sandals. I applied a bit of winged liner to make my eyes pop. I've always read stories about loving mates. Who knows how much of it is true? For all I know, it’s some made up fantasy to make mates seem like the ultimate endgame. Maybe one day, I would meet my mate and then we could run away towards the sunset............or something, I don't really care.<br /> Apparently, all mates are compatible with their other half. It’s like love at first sight and the males getting all possessive about their mates is very appealing and a turn on, or so I've heard.<br /> It's all hearsay. And I think it’s stupid. It’s like the males are all custom made robots. Why else would their behavior be so alike?<br /> And there was a paragraph about heat and shifting and marking. Maybe, my mate's gonna go all caveman on me and tear my throat out.<br /> I'm just kidding, morbid thoughts on my birthday are kind of my thing. And its wishful thinking. I don't care. He might even be an omega and I still wouldn't care. Even if he's a human, it wouldn't matter. And if he's not in this pack then..... Oh well... It's better for me. I don't want to stay in a pack where I have no respect and people treat me bad. Status had once mattered to me. But when you have parents like mine, you kind of start praying not to ever be like them.<br /> Not once did they look at me but of course, Alexander was doted on by everyone. Kids. Parents. Friends. You name it.<br /> Apparently, it's because he's a boy. And according to my mother, girls are good for getting screwed, getting hit on, obeying their men, acting flirty along, and popping out heirs.<br /> And lucky for you all, my mother happens to be exhibit A.<br /> You should all be jealous because it's not everyday that you have a live walking, talking example to show the word and tell them what a hoe your mother is.<br /> Third Person POV <br /> Nikolina walked to school as she was not allowed a car. Though Alex was the proud owner of a shiny Silver Volvo. Double standards were very common in the Reed family. She had always wanted her own car, something that was a stunning shade of bright canary yellow, but that dream was nowhere close to becoming a reality.<br /> All of a sudden, she smelt an amazing scent; peppermint and honey. Lydia purred and rolled around in happiness, barely able to contain her excitement.<br /> On searching for the source, her eyes met warm, hazel orbs. His eyes expressed lust and adoration as they raked all over her body.<br /> Realization finally hit her hard when she saw that James-freaking-Rodriguez was her mate! The next Alpha of Solaris Eclipse Pack. And he was Portia's long-standing boyfriend.<br /> You know what he did next? James went back to groping the head cheerleader. “Portia.... “ Oh, sorry. Rookie mistake. Portia Scott.<br /> Tears threatened to fall while her wolf Lydia whimpered, seeing her mate touch another...<br /> “Our mate is beautiful.” James's wolf, Jace said. Nikolina was more than just beautiful. Many males of the pack thought she was gorgeous but never mentioned it out loud due to the fear of facing Alex's wrath. Alex was the one to start it all: the petty insults, the hateful words and making an outcast out of her. Others had just followed his footsteps. And of course, some of the girls were shallow enough to find happiness by making Nikolina feel miserable, because they were insecure about themselves.<br /> But the main issue was, though James thought Nikolina was pretty, he would never accept her as his mate and Luna. Though she was Beta Mark's daughter and was of high status, both him and his ego considered her a nobody. He knew about the insults and he had done it as well. In his eyes, she was worthless and all everyone ever did was talk down on her and she never fought back.<br /> He couldn't have a... thing like that as his mate. Beauty just wasn't enough for him, being a ruthless woman was a requirement.<br /> “She might be beautiful but I don't want her. She's a nobody. If people know that she is my mate, I would become the laughing stock of my pack. Seriously, people walk all over her. She can never be my Luna.” That was the thought going through his mind as he sucked on Portia's neck hard enough to bruise.<br /> “Ow! You're hurting me, boo! You know Kelly has my concealer today.” Portia whined but still made no move to shove James away. She just proceeded to grind her lower body into James and trying to get as close as humanly possible without getting rid of her clothes in public.<br /> James finally pried Portia off his body and walked towards his mate. In some ways, Portia was like a bloodsucking leech or an annoying wart, never leaving without a fight.<br /> “Baby, where are you going? I need you!” Her voice was like a cat dragging its claws across a board.<br /> James just signalled her to shut up before walking towards his mate. He would do the right thing, of course, as the future Alpha of Solaris Eclipse Pack and give Nikolina what she deserves.<br /> He stopped in front of her and asked, “What's your name?”<br /> “Nikolina,” she stated. He soon noticed that she had no friends and no car and he felt the curious stares on his back as everyone's attention was on him.<br /> “I, James Rodriguez, soon to be alpha of Eclipse Pack reject you, Nikolina Reed as my mate and Luna. “ As he rejected her, Jace whimpered and cowered. And James felt bad but he knew this was the right thing to do for himself and the pack. From his perspective, Nikolina was someone who brought out the worst in people and Portia was way more deserving to be his mate and Luna, considering that she was fearless and wasn't afraid to fight dirty for her rights.<br /> James was an egoistic douche bag who mistook petty behavior for fearless but he was blinded by the greed for power and popularity.<br /> The pain was blinding for Nikolina. She would have collapsed if not for the anger that surged through her. She was furious. At James. The Moon Goddess. Not realizing how painful rejection was. Her fate. It was a never ending list.<br /> It felt like she was being drowned in liquid bleach, her lungs burned and she saw red. Anger took over the pain she was feeling and she didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing how hurt she was.<br /> Her next words took both of them by surprise. She was anything but weak and she knew she deserved a lot better than some douche bag who was disrespectful towards his own mate. Alpha or not, he shouldn't be the one who gets the last laugh.<br /> “I, Nikolina Reed, accept your rejection as my mate and Alpha. I sincerely hope you get the clap!”<br /> With that, she turned on her heel and left the school premises.<br /> “Who needs a mate? Especially someone like James. People like him need girls like Portia by their sides, who cater to their whims and needs and whatever freaky carnal desire they might have.” Nikolina thought darkly. She wasn't going to give in to her pain and this rejection was the final push that encouraged her to chase after her freedom and break bonds with the family who had clipped off her wings.<br /> James felt a tiny bit of hurt realizing that she didn't even think twice before accepting the rejection and all he could wonder was how did she not burst into tears or grovel at his feet to take her back. Jace did not talk. He just whimpered, feeling the loss of his mate. Before James could think of it anymore, Portia dragged him to an empty classroom to distract her beloved Jamie boo. It seemed as if James wasn't the least bit affected by the incident with Nikolina, because his actions didn't falter as he hitched Portia's skirt up and ripped her panties, drilling her like an animal and releasing himself on her clothes and face as he left her alone to clean up.<br /> Nikolina POV<br /> “Well, he can go drill his toy as much as he wants.” I thought darkly while making my way towards home. All Lydia did was whimper. The moment I saw James, I knew something like this was bound to happen. You don't have any expectations when someone like him is supposed to be your destined mate. He was born with a big ego and he can just stuff it up his.<br /> “Maybe he regrets hurting us, you know.” Lydia whimpered.<br /> Before I could reply, searing hot pain flooded my senses. I felt myself fall on the pavement and the pain started to become more intense. It is obvious, isn't it? He's already drilling someone just minutes after rejecting me. It felt like my body was set on fire and the blistering flames charred my skin.<br /> I slowly got up and almost keeled over as my vision turned white. Dizziness washed over me. I had to clench my fists and dig my fingers hard enough to draw blood. Getting away from him and this stupid pack is my best bet. He was doing it intentionally considering the fact he knows that we're both connected unless one of us dies or gets marked by another. Walking never felt so strenuous and with every step I had to force myself to not curl up on the pavement and cry. I know I deserve someone better but I did want to cry my pain away.<br /> After what seemed like hours, the pain slowly ebbed away. Painful times ahead. The only problem is that the mate bond doesn't break even after being rejected. Only if the rejected is marked by the first mate or by another, or if one of the mates die, will the bond break.<br /> I entered my house and went to my room to pack my bags. You know, in every werewolf story the rejected mate writes letters before leaving. There's no logic to it. I mean, don't you get it? No one cares if you leave. No one cares if you die. No one cares if you slit your throat or get molested or murdered. That's the harsh truth. Why should I open my feelings on a letter make them feel pity? I can just run away and live my best life, away from them. It's not like they will send out search teams for you.<br /> I don't want pity. I can do better than that. I picked up my red lipstick and wrote in capitals before leaving. I know I'm dramatic but it serves them right. They'll remember this for years to come: women can walk away without feeling a twinge of guilt or regret.<br /> Showing vulnerability would only make me seem weak and I've let people walk over me way too many times.<br /> My mom was probably busy getting her hair done or something. That's the only thing she ever does. Or her nails. Or maybe she was out shopping with snobby people like herself. It's obvious that birds of a feather flock together. The only thing I ever liked about her is that she cooked for us, sometimes. Mom made a mean lasagna.<br /> Dad was probably with Alpha George. That's usually where he is. But then again, he also has this terrible habit of getting drunk during daylight hours. And once he even groped some other girl in front of the whole pack. Mom turned an ugly shade of red as she kicked him in the crotch. Those were the good days. It was fun when he laid on the couch with a bag of frozen peas on his groin and mom was nowhere around.<br /> Leaving was better for me anyway. Nothing was tying me down to this place. No friends. No proper family. I would be doing myself and them a favor.<br /> I took my dad's sleek black Porsche for my escapade. I might as well leave loaded and in style, besides it's high time I had a car.<br /> Just as I reached the pack border, I said, “I, Nikolina Reed, break all ties with the Solaris Eclipse Pack.” The patrol guards looked at me, but its not like they would stop me.<br /> The pack links broke and with that I revved up the engine and sped through the borders, driving towards my new life. A better life. It was a blessing that this pack did not care enough to stop me.<br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> To enjoy more: Download our APP, search audiobook id 99168 and hear the complete version!

He can afford to wait, but my belly can't.<br /> <br /> ————————<br /> <br /> Im sitting here in shock as i sit here and look at 2 lines happiness and fear is going through me, happiness because im finally pregnant after 4 years of being married to richard and then the fear because he has never mentioned having kids with me and then there is the plan b he makes sure i take after we sleeping.<br /> I worked up enough courage to tell him and show him the pregnancy test and as im about to knock on his home office door i hear him talking in a hush tone. I told you baby im divorcing her I already have the papers drawn up in my desk you just have to give me time to break it to her and how to break it to her, yes baby our dinner plans are still on for tonight ill meet you there, i love you too and ill see you in a little bit.<br /> Im standing there and can't move clutching the pregnancy test in my hands with tears rolling down cheeks and i forced myself to move out of the front of his office door and walk to our bedroom hid the pregnancy test and jump into the shower to hide my tears. I guess I can put the blame on myself i knew who his childhood love is and i hoped that he would fall in love with me and forget about her but it doesn't look like the case and how dumb i feel.<br /> Im standing there under the water letting it hit my face and going over a plan in my head I've already made up my mind while he is gone ill pack up my stuff and sign the divorce papers in his home office then im gone. I was lost in my thoughts and didn't hear Richard get in the shower with me until i felt his arms wrap around me and pull me back into him.<br /> Showering without me are you? I felt so sick by his touch but I can't let him know that I know his plans and I need to get out of here. I went by your office and seen your door shut so I figured you was busy with work and didn't want to bother you, im never to busy for you darling. He turns me around so i will face him his hand is softly stroking my face while he stares at my face like he is taking a mental picture, he smiles then says you know i love you don't you? <br /> I mentally roll my eyes back into my head then smiled and said yes i know and do you know that i love you back? His smile reached his ears yes i do then he stars bussing me ever so passionly and it felt like to me that this will our last time.<br /> He throws me up against the shower wall and hikes one of my legs up to his side, lets make out in the shower its been awhile sense we have done this he said while nibbling on my neck, it has been awhile i said smiling while he slips inside of me. love this round was different we both knew it would be our last time together like this and he is taking his time like he is making a mental video at this moment. He has me pushed up against the wall and my legs are wrapped around his waste, richard im about to, i know darling i am too. <br /> <br /> He sits me down and makes me lean forward and put my hands against the wall then he pounds into me, the bathroom is filled with my moans and his grunts baby do you know how bad your tight little cherry drives me crazy when your getting off? Yes i do and i love that it drives you crazy, he starts stroking harder and faster and i know his release is coming, after he released himself inside of me he grabs me and pulls me close to him while leaving himself inside of me he has never did this before.<br /> He hurried and finished showering and i stay behind to finish up my shower, i came out and looked surprised when i seen him in his suit, going back to the office? Yea i have to finish up some work so ill be late don't wait up for me, you know its hard for me to sleep without you so hurry back as fast as you can and i gave him a warm smile, he walks over to me takes his thumb under my chin to make me look at him then he busses me ever so gently he takes the towel off of me and his hand goes straight to my belly i start to panic does he know? He pulls away and takes a couple steps back and just stares at me if i wouldn't have pulled away we would have went for round 2, so i say giving him a flirty smile after all we are husband and wife, he walks up to me softly stroking my face if i didn't have to be at the office we would definitely go for another round he busses me one more time then looks me in my eyes and says don't forget your plan b pill and don't wait up, i nodd and smile at him and walk over to my night then i hear the bedroom door shut.<br /> I sit on the bed listening to his footsteps fade away, wow he must be in a hurry to get to her because normally he would watch me just to make sure i took it, i walk across the hall and look out the window he is standing there typing on his phone then he slides into the back seat while the driver shuts the door. I grab my iphone log in with his information and read every iMessage between them my heart felt like it was stabbed over and over again he is talking about having kids with her something he has never with me i rub my flat belly don't worry little one mommy will make sure you have the best life i can give you we won't need him.<br /> I walk back to the room pack my things walk to his office to look for the divorce papers, i found them and read through them if i don't give him any trouble i get 50 thousand dollars and his name is already signed so i signed my name and faxed the papers to his lawyer. I laid the divorce papers on top of his desk and added a sticky note on top. A wife always knows and ive already faxed the papers to your lawyer after i signed them take care richard love tessa. I reset my iphone back to factory mode sign in on under his accounts and left the screen on his imessages with laura so that way when he picks it up that will be the first thing he will see and he can't track me if i don't have this phone if he wanted too.<br /> I remember to grab the pregnancy test and the box so i don't leave any evidence behind about my little one he didn't want one anyway at least not with me. I was able to sneak out without the maid seeing me walked down the road a little ways where the cab was waiting for me. I told the cab driver the address and sat back watching out the window I fought hard to keep my tears from falling down my cheeks he doesn't want me then i won't shed no tears for him. I had the cab drop me off at a little hotel where they would let me pay with cash and didn't ask for ID i can hide out here until that money goes into my banking account then i can get it all out and close my account down.<br /> <br /> Richards POV<br /> im stuck with a big dilemma between 2 women that i love except for one knows about the other when the other one don't, laura wants me to divorce tessa and that was the plan until i started having doubts, yes i may have already had the divorce papers drawn up and signed my name but that doesn't mean it's killing me on the inside. The shower love we had earlier was amazing heck every time we sleep its always amazing with tessa who ever thought a shy and quite girl like tessa would be so kinky? She is my type of women in the bed.<br /> I had to get one last look of her undressed body and one last taste of her before i break her heart tomorrow ive made up my mind ive missed laura like crazy while she was away with her dad for 5 years and was over joyed when she let me know that she is moving back I couldn't wait to see her. As twisted as this may sound I haven't touched laura sure we have bussed but out of respect for tessa thats all that has happened between laura and me.<br /> I called it a night with laura actually I couldn't wait to get back home to cuddle into tessa she thinks she is the only one that can't sleep without me but I can't sleep without her warm body pressed into mine it's going to be hard to sleep for awhile without her, am I really about to do this?<br /> I walk into the bedroom and see that the light is on but tessa isnt in the bed or in the room then i noticed that our wedding picture is missing from her night stand so i walk over to the bed and noticed a ripped up picture laying on the bed and its just me her side of the picture is gone, did she find out about laura? I walk to find the maid, have you seen tessa? She was in your office a little while ago faxing something sir, i nodd and ran straight to my office, is everything alright sir? Help me find tessa she isn't in the bedroom or in my office, i see her phone laying on my desk and i open it up and my heart sank when it was the messages between me and laura how did she find out how to do this?<br /> I sit back in my seat with her phone gripped tightly in my hands feeling numb all over when I noticed a sticky note that I don't remember leaving there and when i read it I didn't think it was even possible for my heart to sink any further until i read that she signed them and already faxed them my heart shattered. All I could do was imagine what she went through and is going through right now, where she went to? Is she safe? How could i have been so dumb? Why didn't she even put up a fight or even beg me?<br /> Im pacing back and forth at the foot of our bed imagining her laying in her spot looking so comfortable and sound asleep with me cuddle in behind her. i still see her undressed and standing there went i look in that direction, i still can see how the bottom of her belly was poking out a little and i started to imagine what she would look like with my baby in her and when my hand automatically went there it scared her, i know she isn't pregnant her periods came on time and she takes plan b after we sleep.<br /> I wasn't able to sleep last night so I went back to my home office before the sun came out thats when I noticed her wedding rings was laying there and i felt something I haven't felt in a long time running down my cheeks, it has been awhile sense i have cried I've actually been pretty happy with everything until now, i slid her wedding rings onto my pinky and just stared at them while tears are flowing down my face.<br /> I cant put out a missing persons report because our marriage was a secret I didn't want her to be noticed and live a happy and normal life without anyone knowing who she is. Ah ha she will probably be going to the bank soon to take out the money and ill tell them to notify me when she does, seeing how the bank is ran by my company they can't go against my orders.<br /> Laura has already called me this morning asking if i asked about a divorce yet i told her no because I didn't want to go straight into planning another wedding i still needed to find tessa I didn't want her to hurt.<br /> <br /> Tessa POV<br /> i haven't been able to hardly sleep at all, I wasn't lying to Richard when i told him I couldn't sleep without him but im getting used to it, its been 2 weeks sense i ran away and im about to run out of money so its time to empty my banking account and get the heck out of here so i can live freely and not only that i need to get my little one checked on and get the proper care that i need.<br /> My childhood friend is coming tonight and she is helping me escape tomorrow and we have a plan set up just incase he shows up I doubt he will sense this is what he wanted but its always good to plan ahead. Someone is knocking on my motel door and i know it isn't kelly because she will call my motel room when she gets here, i peek through the peephole and i see Richards assistant and Richard standing behind him with his arms folded across his chest and he doesn't look like she has slept good in ages, my heart drops to my feet has he found me? <br /> <br /> I almost opened the door when they stop someone walking by, excuse me sir have you seen this girl? He looks at the picture nope I can't say i have sorry, take this flyer and if you spot her give us a call and if you give us the right location and we locate her well will give you a great reward.<br /> Why is he looking for me? Is he having regrets? Does he know about the little one? Ive come to far im not turning myself in he probably wants me to get rid of little one if he knows it's coming and I won't take that chance no way. Kelly pulls in and they walk up to her car show her the flyer and i can tell she is trying so hard not to show it on her face, i see her shake her head no I can't hear what they are saying because they are so far away. They get into their vehicle and leave, i see her walking to my door and i hurry up and open it while hiding behind it.<br /> Girl do you know richard was just outside showing a picture of you trying to find you? Yes they knocked on my door but I didn't answer it, what is he wanting? I don't know i gave him what he wanted and he shouldn't know about little one we are the only ones that knows and i made sure to take the box and test with me, its a good thing you are getting out of here tomorrow that was way to close, yes it was I thought for sure he found me and came a hair of opening the door, don't you ever do something that dumb again, o im not promise.<br /> The next day kelly has me so made up that I don't recognize myself in the mirror, i have brown hair and she has me in a blonde wig a outfit that shows way to much of my body and my cleavage, i was just thankful I have a decent pair of flats i can run in if i have too. I put on a pair of over sized sunglasses and get on the bus and head to the bank, i walk into the bank go into the restroom and remove my wig stuff it in my big purse i fix my hair up into a messy bun and head to the tailors window. <br /> <br /> I show her my ID and my banking information i want everything out of my checking account and close my account, the tailor looks at me and smiles then whisperes i know who you are and im supposed to alert mr roads when you arrive to claim the money, please don't I just want to get my money and be on my way, don't worry i won't alert him until i see you walk out the door I can't stand laura she is making brags that she can't marry mr roads because you ran away before he could get you to sign the divorce papers, she hands me the money and i say i have signed the divorce papers and faxed the papers myself to his lawyer he is divorced and im not holding anyone up, <br /> <br /> I figured as much why else would he put 50 thousand into your checking account laura is just making up stories to make herself look good, ill be the run away wife I really don't care he is a free man what he does on his end is up to him, you better get going then before someone spots you, thank you so much she looks at me and gives me warming smile then winks.<br /> <br /> I step outside of the bank and take a last look around i plan not to step back into this city for years, i take one more big breath to calm my nerves down put on my sunglasses i start to take a step then i hear what sounded like someone slamming on their breaks, <br /> <br /> i thought someone was about to get ran over and i take a look to see what was going on when i noticed who's car it was i froze in my spot. Come on tessa get yourself together think of little one, i see a door open and richard gets out hollering my name, wait tessa i need to talk to you i shake my head no and turn around to take my steps away, tess please wait for me we need to talk, i turn to look at him and he is trying to dodge vehicles to get across the road to me and i spot my opportunity and took off running away from him and at this point instead of hollering my name he is screaming it.
