I already have the papers drawn up..."<br /> I'm standing there and can't move, clutching the pregnancy test in my hands...<br /> I can't let him know that I know his plans...I need to get out of here.<br /> [A wife always knows. Sign them. Byebye.]<br /> I rub my flat belly. 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.

I command Adam using all my Luna force.<br /> "I, Alpha Adam Hawkins, Alpha of the Red Blood Pack, I reject you, Lexie Banks, as my mate!" and giving her a serious look he commands her "Accept my rejection!"<br /> In the last life, I've been Luna since I married Adam and even if we were not fated mates I've done my job in the interest of this pack outstandingly. But finally, Lexie tortured me, Adam killed me.<br /> This time is only about me and about surviving, so screw you Lexie Banks, Adam Hawkins and Red Blood Pack! I had enough of you! <br /> "I want to divorce" I say and I can't believe that I am saying this but this is what I want.<br /> "I want to divorce!"<br /> ————————<br /> I lift my face and I look directly into my abuser eyes. I know him and he knows me. He knows that I am his Luna. We grew up together and he swore his oath to me three years ago and now he is whipping me like I am some kind of criminal?<br /> "Why are you beating me?" I say trying to look at his with dignity.<br /> "I asked you something, Bill?" I say again trying to support myself in my arms as I am kneeled on the ground of my cell.<br /> "What harm have I ever done to be treated like this?"<br /> But Bill throws me a furious gaze:<br /> "You know what you have done!" and out of nowhere another whip comes on my back ripping my flesh.<br /> "Kelly..."I whisper to my wolf and my head falls between my arms hitting the ground.<br /> "Kelly it hurts too much..." and my tears started to flow on my cheeks even if I tried, I really tried to resist and be brave but I can't do it anymore so I lean on the floor.<br /> "Can you help me, Kelly? Can you heal me?" I ask my wolf.<br /> "I want to, Natalie" she groans in pain.<br /> "but I can't do it anymore. I am too weak. He is beating us for hours" andI can hear her howls. She is begging the gods for help. Where is my Goddess right now? I don't deserve this.<br /> "Please" I whisper and try again to lift my head.<br /> "What is going on, Bill? Whatever is happening here you must know that it is just a misunderstanding. " and I placed my head on the ground so I could watch him as I spoke to him.<br /> "You fooled!" Bill growls at me.<br /> "You made us think that you are a good woman but you are just a malicious woman with no heart" and he lifts his arm in the air to hit me again.<br /> I know I can't escape from this. He even gave me wolfsbane so I could become weak and submit to him. I have no chance. I have no power in this.<br /> "I swear to you, Bill" I say in a whisper "I have no idea what are you talking about.."<br /> "Then how is it that her pup is dead,huh?" Bill asks and slaps me hard over my face "How is that our little Alpha is dead?"<br /> WHAT? What little Alpha? Who is dead?<br /> "Don't look at me as if you have no idea what is going on!" he says and slaps me. "You killed Lexie's baby! Our pack's heir!"<br /> Lexie's unborn pup is dead?<br /> "I didn't do it!" I scream with all the strength that was left in me. I would never do that!<br /> "I didn't touch her! It is not my fault if she aborted her pup!" I tell him and now my heart started to beat faster and faster.<br /> You might think that there is a problem,talking about another woman's pup as the pack's heir as I am Luna and the legal wife of Adam Hawkins, the Alpha of Red Blood Pack but there is more than that.<br /> I may be his Luna, but I am infertile and for three years all he wanted was to have an heir. And his fated mate gave it to him what I couldn't.<br /> I have no idea why the Moon Goddess made me infertile, but this is the way I am.<br /> But why are they accusing me of killing her pup? I have nothing to do with that.<br /> "Stop looking at me like that!" Bill suddenly growls, making me come back from my thoughts. "Stop looking at me as if you are innocent!"<br /> And I close my eyes in horror as I see the whip coming in my direction again but before he could touch me, the door opens and a hard growl comes from the frame door.<br /> "For the goddess's name, what have you done, Bill?"<br /> "What it was told to me. I made her pay for her crimes!" Bill says but in the next second he is pushed away from me by Philip McNeil, our beta. I can barely see Bill because of the blood that flows down my face, but he falls to the ground close to me.<br /> But what is making my soul jump is the scent of Adam. He is here, he will trust me. He knows me and he loves me. He knows that I would never do what Bill is accusing me. I try to look at him but before I could do it, Philip growls at Bill.<br /> "Who do you think you are to punish her? She deserves a trial. Until then no one can say if she is guilty or not!" Phillip tells him in a harsh voice,and kneels next to and looks at my wounds.<br /> "Get out of here, Bill, and don't show up again or I am strangling you for abusing your Luna!" he commands Bill.<br /> "She is not my Luna anymore!" Bill growls but he listens to Phillip and leaves my cell, leaving me alone with Adam and Philip. But why is Adam silent?<br /> "What have you done, Natalie?" Phillip whispers, looking at me with sadness.<br /> "I...did...nothing" I whisper and try to look into his eyes but I am way too weak, so I turn my face to Adam, and try to reach his gaze, but he looks at me with hatred.<br /> "Adam..."I whisper.<br /> "Lexie says that you did it" Phillip tells me and now my heart stops, but Philip's voice is not harsh anymore. He is talking to me calmly. "Everything is against you, Natalie."<br /> I look at Adam. He can't believe this. No,no, no. He must trust me, I just found out about Lexie's pup. How can I prove to them that I didn't do it?<br /> Who is gone say for me in front of Adam?<br /> Rosie!<br /> My omega must know that I wasn't in Lexie's room. She was with me all the time. She must help me. She is my only chance.<br /> "Adam" I say and this time I opened my eyes and looked directly into my mate's eyes "Please, talk with Rosie Walker. She knows that I didn't do it. She is my servant. She will stay by my side and tell you the truth. I would never touch an innocent pup, Adam. I am not that kind of person" and I burst into tears again.<br /> "I didn't do it!" I almost screamed,freaking out for the first time since this madness started.<br /> But before I could add something else the voice that I loved the most in this world mocks me hard as if he never loved me, as if I am his biggest enemy.<br /> "There is no need to tell me anything " Adam, my Alpha, my chosen mate and my husband says. "I already know what you did."<br /> What? No, this can't happen.<br /> "Love, I would never..." but the moment I said that his face became dark and coming in my direction he made me almost jump in fear.<br /> "Don't hurt me!" I screamed in horror,trying to hug my knees, and come in a fetal position as an attempt to defend myself from his hit, but my action shocked him.<br /> "What are you doing, Adam?" Phillip asks him and looks at me with strange eyes.<br /> "You are asking me that?" Adam asks furious and he is using his alpha command on him. "How do you dare to question me for this dog?" and the moment his words came out, Kelly's howls started to become louder and louder in my head. He hates us. He doesn't believe us.<br /> "Is not about betrayal, Adam" Phillip tells him "Is about giving her a chance to explain herself, to defend herself if there is something that was not spoken until now."<br /> Adam looks at me and I grab my wounded arms and wrap them around my body. I feel so cold, as the blood is flowing out of my system.<br /> "She will die soon, if you don't stop this madness" Phillip says, looking at me and that made Adam flinch. Maybe there are still a few emotions, a gram of love in his heart that it is destined for me.<br /> "I didn't do it" I whisper, trying my luck.<br /> "I would never hurt you this way, Adam"<br /> I say.<br /> I would never do that. He must know that.<br /> "But yet you did it!" Adam says in the end with some remorse in his gaze and turns his head in another direction as if he can't look at my wounded body anymore.<br /> "You were jealous of Lexie. I told you that she would never take your Luna position, but I need her to procreate. And you? What have you done? You worked on my back out of jealousy!"<br /> "I trusted you, Adam. There was no need to hurt her. I trusted you" I say and using all my strength I kneel and try to get on my feet.<br /> "You are lying!" He says turning around and pointing his index finger in my direction, looking at me with bloody eyes but I can't be weak. I need to beg him to listen to me.<br /> "You hurt my mate!" he growls at me "The mother of my pup!"<br /> His mate? HIS MATE? I can't do this anymore.<br /> "If she is your mate, what am I, Adam?" I asked him without even flinching because everything started to become clear. He loves her too even if he said he doesn't. But my question took him by surprise, because he just stares at me as if he has no idea how to answer that.<br /> "If you ever loved me even for a second"<br /> I tell him and look directly into his eyes.<br /> "I beg you, bring my servant here. Rosie knows my actions. She was with me almost all the time. She will be my witness."<br /> He is staring at me and he is doubting me.<br /> "Man she may..."Phillip starts but he is interrupted by a soft woman's voice.<br /> "She is right" and Adam turns around and almost runs to the door.<br /> "What are you doing here, Lexie?" he asks with a scared voice. "You should rest after everything you've suffered."<br /> "I wanted to see, Natalie," she whispers with the same soft voice. "I wanted to ask her why she did it".<br /> "Because she was jealous!" Adam explains to her and pulls her into his arms, making me and Kelly surfer. He marked me, he must know that he makes me suffer.<br /> "She said that she has a witness," Lexie tells him. "Maybe she is right, maybe it is all a misunderstanding" and my heart stopped.<br /> "Something is not right, Nat" Kelly whispers. "Is she defending us? Why would she do that?"<br /> "Bring her servant here" Lexie tells Adam ."I want to know if she wasn't the one who put poison in my food to abort our sweet and innocent pup." and my heart is not beating anymore.<br /> Is he going to give me a chance to defend myself? Is he going to save me from this madness? But why is Lexie helping me?<br /> "Are you sure?" he asks Lexie, without looking at me and she just nods,looking at him with puppy eyes.<br /> "I will give only one more chance,Natalie" Adam says and leaves Lexie's embrace. "For the sake of our past together" and looking at Phillip commands him.<br /> "Bring Rosie Walkers here"<br /> He did it. He gave us another chance..<br /> Even if it was not for us but for Lexie's sake, at least I have a chance to explain myself.<br /> "Did you ask for me, Alpha?" Rosie says and looking at me she lost her colors.<br /> "Luna!" she screams in horror, as she tries to reach me, but Adam stops her.<br /> "Leave her!" and using his Alpha command asks her.<br /> "Tell me the truth, Rosie. Is Natalie guilty or not for my unborn pup's death?" and that question made Rosie stop in her tracks. She is all shivering and bursts into tears.<br /> "What is going on?" I ask myself. What is with her reaction?<br /> "I command you to talk!" Adam growls at her and she looks at me and gives me devilish grin.<br /> "I am so sorry Alpha!" she busted in tears.<br /> Sorry for what? What is going on?<br /> "She forced me to do it, Alpha!" Rosie says and now I am really dead.<br /> "I didn't want to but she forced me."<br /> And Rosie kneels in front of Adam. "She used her Luna command on me and I was forced to submit to her! She commanded me to poison your fated mate!"<br /> "I never used my Luna command on anyone!" I tell him but Adam turns around and slaps me. "Please, love, please believe me!" I beg him, crying my heart out. "You know me since I was two, I would never do that!" and I grab his leg but Adam just kicks me to the ground.<br /> "Don't touch me!" he growls at me.<br /> "I love you, Adam. I would never..." but he turns his back to me and grabbing Lexie's hand he commands Phillip.<br /> "Prepare everything. Tomorrow I will execute her!"<br /> "You can't do that!" I growl at him. "This is a set up!" but he just left, dragging Lexie after him.<br /> "Just a moment," she says. "I need to ask her something." she excuses herself.<br /> "I am not leaving you alone with a criminal" Adam says and let me tell you.<br /> He is the criminal here, because he is killing me with his actions.<br /> "She can't hurt me anymore" Lexie tells him and gives him a nod. "Not now when I know the truth. Please" she begs him with her fake soft voice.<br /> "I will give you five minutes and if you are not in bed, Lexie, I swear to the goddess that I am going to beat you."<br /> he commands her but she just smiles and pecks his cheek.<br /> "I promise, my Alpha"<br /> Kelly growls "She is doing it on purpose!" and she would like to transform and kill Lexie, but she can't even heal me.<br /> "So?" Lexie asks me as soon as we are alone. "How is it to lose everything?"and she starts to laugh like crazy.<br /> "Why are you staring at me like this?"<br /> she asks me, mocking me. "You were such an easy target," she says,wrapping her arms at her chest."<br /> "You framed me out!" I told her while I supported myself on a wall so I could sit on my feet. "This is your work" I say and I know that I am right and for the first time in my life, my heart is full of hatred. I hate Lexie Banks. At this moment I even hate Adam for not believing in me, for hurting me so badly.<br /> "Of course it was my work. I saw Adam three years ago, on the day of your wedding and I knew he was my mate,but I couldn't just show up so I waited. It is said that whoever waits until the end will receive his reward, well I waited and planned everything."<br /> And she laughs at me , looking at her "Were you even pregnant?" I can't stop myself from asking but that made her stop.<br /> "Of course I was" she says "With a rogue." and she turns around and leaves but right before she exits she looks at me and says.<br /> "Now everything is right how it should be. Adam will give me your Luna position and I will get what I was looking for."<br /> "You are crazy" I said more in a whisper,but that remark made her laugh.<br /> "Oh, my dear, you have no idea what I have done to reach this point" and turning around she comes to me again and places a hand on my womb.<br /> "I must confess to you. Anyway you will die tomorrow and at this point no one will ever believe you again."<br /> Confess me what? What does she mean?<br /> "You, not being able to procreate...that is my work too."<br /> And my blood is boiling in my veins. She did something? But we have been trying for three years to have a pup, and she showed up months after our wedding.<br /> How could she.?<br /> "Rosie!" Kelly whispered. "They worked together"<br /> I must be like an opened book for her,because she started to laugh even harder.<br /> "You figured it out, didn't you?" Lexie mocks me, but I am not in the mood to hear her again and I jump on her and grab her by her neck.<br /> "Was it all because of you?"<br /> She ruined my life! I could have been happy. I could have had my happily ever after but this jerk showed up and robbed my life!<br /> "I will kill you!" I growl trying to elongate my claws and rip her head, but Lexie pushed me and made me hit the wall with my head.<br /> Everything is spinning around and I fall on my knees again and lean on the ground, without being able to support my own weight.<br /> "You are so pathetic!" Lexie laughs.<br /> "Look how weak you are!"<br /> Oh, Lexie...If I get up you will be so dead right now, but you made them give me wolfbane.<br /> "I am leaving, sorry for not being in the mood to see your weak and ugly face right now" she says. "I am going to my mate and who knows, maybe tonight we will conceive a pup!" and she leaves me there laughing her heart out.<br /> "Over my dead body!" I tell her more in a whisper.<br /> "Yeah...yeah.." she says as if she ignores me "And that will be right tomorrow. I will intercourse Adam over your dead body!"<br /> He won't do it? Isn't he? Adam will not kill me...he is my mate, my husband...<br /> but no matter how much I repeated this in my mind in the morning when the doors opened I knew that whatever I thought that I thought I knew about Adam was gone.<br /> "Take her!" Bill commands his warriors as they push me out of my cell.<br /> "Where are they taking us?" Kelly asks me scared, trying to take the command but the wolfsbane intoxicates her.<br /> "Nat!" she calls me but I can't utter a single word, he is going to do it. He is going to keep his word. The warriors throw me ugly looks and push me to walk, and I would do it but I can barely stay on my feet and then the doors open and the sun rays hit me hard.<br /> Everything hurts. My eyes are hurting because of the strong light, my skin that is all wounded feels like burning under the summer heat and my ears...oh my goddess! Is this really the pack I loved with all my heart? Is this a Red Blood Pack? Are those the same werewolves that swore faith to me or is some kind of a nightmare?<br /> "Kill her!!!!" everyone yells "She killed our pack heir! She doesn't deserve to live anymore!" and they started to throw things in my direction. Tomatoes, shoes,rocks... and none stops them.<br /> "Criminal!!!!" someone screamed from the crowd. "Kill her Alpha! I can't stand to look at her!"<br /> Well I can't stand to look at this pack either.<br /> I put so much effort in the last three years. So many nights without sleeping.<br /> Everything I did in the last years was for this pack and they want me dead? And why? Because I wasn't able to offer them an heir? I thought that working hard will compensate for my inability to convince but they just dumped me as soon as they had the opportunity to do it.<br /> I was their Luna but at the same timeI was their Alpha because Adam never cared about the pack, but about the power that comes with the Alpha position.<br /> I did everything in my power to keep this pack united. I attended all the meetings he skipped. My life was only at the service of this pack and now it is more than clear that it was all for nothing.<br /> I understood Adam in the past. I knew he was not a very social person so took the lead and I held the reins of this pack by myself, but I would have never expected that this would be the way he would reward me.<br /> He dumped me as soon as he found his fated mate, even if he said he wouldn't do it. She became the center of his ambitious plan to have an heir and even slept with her.<br /> Oh, Adam, you are so stupid!<br /> This dog is going to bury you. She fooled and played you on your fingers,just as she did it with me.<br /> After everything you have done I am just sad that I will not have the opportunity to watch your fall. Will be greater than mine.<br /> I wanted to run away hearing that Lexie is pregnant with your child. You killed me that day so now that there is nothing left I can see it clearly. Now everything was revealed.<br /> I was so stupid to will to accept that pup in my life just for you, I should have stayed for myself and ban her out of this pack. But you know what? Red Blood Pack deserves Lexie as its Luna.<br /> This will be my revenge.<br /> I walk through the crown and their insults are not affecting me anymore.<br /> They would better trust an omega than their Luna. They are just some opportunistic cowards. They are taking revenge on me for demanding high training standards, but it was all to protect them from the rogues.<br /> They really think that someone like Lexie would be a better choice for them? Just wait and watch Red Blood Pack! This woman will perish you!<br /> Maybe I exceeded my skills by taking<br /> Adam's duties but it was only for your own good.<br /> "Nat!" Suddenly Kelly whispers "The council is here!"<br /> And dad is here too. And I can see his panicked gaze, and I can see the tears that he is trying to hold. He was Adam father's beta for years and he always looked strong and unstoppable but now he looks so human, as if seeing me this way killed his heart.<br /> "I love you dad," I mindlink him and give him a straight look into his eyes, so he would know that I mean every single word I say.<br /> "Be strong," I whisper. " Be strong for me. Don't cry for me, dad. Just be the man I know you are" and would give him a smile but I can't find the strength to move my facial muscles. I can't even utter a single word.<br /> "This is not right, Natalie" he tells me and I see him coming in my direction,but I move my eyes and command him.<br /> "No dad, let him do what he puts in his mind. I can't escape from this" and I let Bill and his warriors drive me in front of the council, even if I feel my dad eyes watching me. In this crowd he is the only one who is on my side. Everyone else wants me dead.<br /> "Natalie Williams" one of the elders of the council announces. "We found you guilty for crime against you alpha and your pack"<br /> Guilty? Oh, elder, you are so wrong here!<br /> If I wouldn't be drugged I would prove to you who the real culprit is, but I can't continue talking about your nonsense.<br /> "The punishment for your crime is death!" he utters so sure of his words and I stare at the crowd that started to cheer at his words as if he just announced that they will receive more money.<br /> I turn my head and look at Adam. Adam the love of my life and also the executioner of my life. He walks in military steps and lifts the sword that the council brought for my execution.<br /> He is not even flinching. He is doing this by conviction. He wants to kill me. His inner spirit longs for my blood.<br /> "I will miss you dad" I whisper, giving my dad a last look, and I see him falling on his knees.<br /> "I will miss you Kelly" I whisper and I would like to hug my wolf if I could, to tell her that I am not mad at her for not being able to defend me, but this is above us. This is a betrayal I could never imagine that I will face.<br /> I see Adam in front of me but he is not watching me. He just lifted the sword and pierced my heart. He kicks me with his foot and makes me fall on the ground while the crowd cheers in madness , and my father collapses for good.<br /> "Kelly" I whisper, feeling dizzy. "This is it. This is the end." and my eyelashes started to flutter as I was not able not even to keep my eyes open for a few more seconds.<br /> All I could see was my blood flowing on the ground.<br /> "Stop it!"<br /> Someone said stop it? Am I hallucinating? I opened my eyes just a little bit and I could see a handsome man running in my direction. Do I know him?

1,540,862	/src/Template/Ads/index.ctp (line 281) null	No	2024-04-27 19:37	active	615	917373253455055	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	1	2,179,752,062,383,599	2024-04-27 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	0	0	Learn more	Auroch novel	120207926063990389	fbweb.moboreader.net	NONE	image		https://fbweb.moboreader.net/38520322-fb_contact-hys-0320-core1.html?adid={{ad.id}}&char=066827&accid=1319337982076651		2024-04-26 22:06	https://scontent-mia3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/437574991_2400925110118354_7165937329587492099_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=hS9pa5BzeDYAb7f-MAy&_nc_ht=scontent-mia3-1.xx&oh=00_AfCzwhI15yHnNlkN_cWR0zhPYj88YtH5rU6lmC77epJiIA&oe=66337521	person_profile	0	Auroch novel	https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/438161039_1450910248849225_3404304037476092850_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=X9o7IBAJocsAb6ZJbqq&_nc_ht=scontent-mia3-2.xx&oh=00_AfCkMjxBYKqPfBMVBH21jRNGXlPOKI1m__nz6Cy11ciC4w&oe=66336F78	0	3	Auroch novel	2024-04-27 02:00	View Edit Delete

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.

Although other people in the pack often bully me, if Calvin is around, I can persevere. On that day, Calvin's birthday, I found out that he had an affair with my sister, and I decided to leave the pack. Just as I was about to leave, Alpha King came to our pack, and he captured everyone.<br /> "You want her? She's a human!"<br /> The king released a roar that made every member of the pack flinch and drop their heads lower in submission. With my face only a few inches from the ground, I watched with terror as the king moved away from me and stood before my biggest bully Kate. <br /> The greater distance between us allowed me to see more of him. He was larger than the other Lycans, his body covered in knotted scars that were visible beneath his fur.<br /> His claw was the size of Kate's head as he punched it through her ch#st, ripping her heart out the other side and sending the pack into a flurry of sobs and terrified mumblings for mercy.<br /> "You will do well to teach your pack to respect those above them." The witch's voice called out again, but I was trapped staring at Kate's body as the king pulled his hand out, and it fell to the ground.<br /> I was aware of him walking back to me, but I couldn’t take my eyes away. It was the large hand that grabbed me by my backpack and lifted me off the ground like a doll that brought me back to reality, and I instinctively met the glowing red eyes of the Lycan King.<br /> His deep voice sent a chill through me as he spoke, "Mine."<br /> ---<br /> Janet's P.O.V.<br /> <br /> I felt uneasy as soon as I entered the pack house. The way my pack mates were smirking at me, laughing behind their hands... I knew they were up to something. Their pranks and bullying had been getting worse and more painful each time they managed to get me alone. My bruises still hadn't gone away from the last time.<br /> <br /> My body ached from the beating I had taken two days ago, but I was only a few hours away from it all ending.<br /> <br /> I just needed to get to Calvin before they set their plan into motion.<br /> <br /> Calvin was my boyfriend of four years. He was the only one that cared for me, and the only one I could trust.<br /> <br /> We were high school sweethearts. He was also the next in line to become the Alpha of our pack. That didn't matter to me, but it did matter to the other women in the pack. They hated that he was with me. They felt that they deserved a stronger Luna than I would be, and they all wanted to be his chosen one.<br /> <br /> I hadn't even shifted yet. To them, I was no more than an omega...a runt as they liked to call me, the weakest of the litter.<br /> <br /> It should have happened three years ago when I turned sixteen, but it didn't. Now I was nineteen, the age at which we could recognize our mates as our wolves should have matured by then. Had I shifted, I would have known Calvin was my mate already, but we had to wait the extra two months until today, his nineteenth birthday, for him to recognize me as his mate.<br /> <br /> Calvin didn't care that I hadn't turned. We had been together since before either of us were old enough to shift, and we were both positive that we were mates. He stood by me and protected me from the cruelty of the wolves around us when I failed to shift with the others.<br /> <br /> 'Calvin? Where are you?' I asked through our pack link but received no response.<br /> <br /> "Poor little human, you have a lot of guts to show up here right now. Do you have any idea how happy the pack is? Having you here will just ruin it. This party is for pack wolves only." Kate, my sister's best friend, said as the crowd parted for her, and the music stopped. All of the party guests stopped dancing and talking to watch as the biggest bully in the pack approached me.<br /> <br /> The flashing lights of varying colors continued in the uncomfortable silence.<br /> <br /> I hoped the man of the hour would see the disruption and step forward to my side, but he didn't. As I glanced around at all of the amused faces, he was nowhere to be seen.<br /> <br /> "Calvin invited me. I am in this pack, and I'm allowed to be here." I whispered, but I could feel the heat building in the back of my eyes as they all laughed again. Something was going on, and it was more than just Kate running her big mouth.<br /> <br /> "Even he doesn't want you here." She sneered before smiling at me widely. "See for yourself. Where is Calvin, hm? I think he went up to his room. You should go bring him back down to the party and see what he has to say."<br /> <br /> I held his present against my chest tighter as I narrowed my eyes. She was up to something, but I wanted to get to Calvin more than I wanted to deal with her b##lsh!t.<br /> <br /> As I took a step forward, Kate stepped to the side, and I could feel everyone watching me with amusement as I went up the stairs.<br /> <br /> Calvin's room was at the end of the hall behind double doors, and I rushed toward it. I could hear people coming up the stairs behind me, no doubt being led by Kate, but my salvation was only a few feet away.<br /> <br /> As soon as I got in his room, I could close the door and act as if none of them existed.<br /> <br /> It would just be the two of us.<br /> <br /> There was a stirring in the back of my mind as I wrapped my hand around the cold doorknob. It was a warning, telling me not to go inside. It wanted me to turn around and run, knowing this was a trap. Yet, I turned the knob anyway and pushed the door open.<br /> <br /> The loud moan of the female beneath my boyfriend made me freeze, and I stared wide-eyed at the couple tangled together. <br /> <br /> Calvin thr#st into her quickly, releasing his own groans of pleasure.<br /> <br /> My stomach tied in a knot, and it felt hard to breathe. The small spark of light in my life was extinguished, sending my mind into complete darkness as I processed what I was seeing.<br /> <br /> He lifted his head, meeting my tear-streaked face, but not seeing me as his wolf was in control. His canines extended just before he latched onto her neck, puncturing the skin and marking her as his mate.<br /> <br /> My sister.<br /> <br /> "No," I whispered as my hand covered my mouth. Calvin pulled back snarling at the disruption.<br /> <br /> "I told you he didn't want you," Kate whispered into my ear, and my sister laughed from beneath my boyfriend as she reached up and ran her hand through Calvin's short blonde hair.<br /> <br /> "Would you mind closing the door, Janet?" Kelly asked innocently, but the malicious look in her narrowed eyes showed she was pleased by her victory over me. Not only had she stolen the love of my life, but she was now to be his Luna. "I'm trying to have a private moment with my mate."<br /> <br /> Mate.<br /> <br /> The word seemed so empty now. Calvin had hated Kelly. He had watched how mean she was toward me and resented her. Now, he was baring his teeth at me, defending her.<br /> <br /> "How could you?" I choked out as a sob wracked through my ch#st, and the present in my hold dropped to the floor before me. The sudden and loud noise seemed to snap Calvin back into control, and his eyes returned to their normal brown.<br /> <br /> His jaw dropped open as he glanced from me to my sister with guilt, but he didn't look the least bit regretful. He was happy to have found and marked his mate, he only hated that he had been caught cheating. The torn look on his face only made me angrier as he gasped my name while he pulled out of my sister. She sat up as he climbed to his feet, neither of them ashamed to be seen n@#ed.<br /> <br /> "Janet, I…" He said, stepping forward and causing me to take a step away, only to be pushed back toward him by the crowd of on-lookers.<br /> <br /> I stumbled forward, trying to stay as far away from him as possible.<br /> <br /> The steady stream of tears blurred my vision, and my ch#st hurt as he whispered my name again. "Janet…She’s, my mate." He finally announced, causing the house to cheer in celebration that their future Luna had been claimed.

1,540,871	/src/Template/Ads/index.ctp (line 281) null	No	2024-04-27 19:37	active	615	666701402248548	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	120207926078450389	fbweb.moboreader.net	NONE	image		https://fbweb.moboreader.net/38520322-fb_contact-hys-0320-core1.html?adid={{ad.id}}&char=066827&accid=1319337982076651		2024-04-26 22:07	https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440394659_440287138655654_782260544621044149_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=9ElCbN9mpnkAb4JOMxr&_nc_ht=scontent-mia3-2.xx&oh=00_AfAhAl9Ye0hfS0i20Cxjkga5XtmAH8YF6RAyr7ap0xscPQ&oe=66335751	person_profile	0	Auroch novel	https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440382214_451010737600734_4728417723343862701_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=f84rZtv4UaYAb7bns9W&_nc_ht=scontent-mia3-2.xx&oh=00_AfBW41xaZ50nuxmfuJaObS82sj9uAKig6FWE4Hr99swu7g&oe=66336DBE	0	3	Auroch novel	2024-04-27 02:00	View Edit Delete
