CHAP 9: Brenna's Conspiracy

After finishing the conversation, Declan returned to Fidelia's room. Perhaps Fidelia's friends had left, leaving her alone. Seeing him, she was a little startled and hastily turned off the phone because she did not want him to know she was reading all the news about him. Declan is not only a young billionaire but also very talented in many fields. That's why so many people admire him. However, she did not find any information about his personal life. This gave Fidelia some peace of mind. Because she just wants to have a simple love, not be too noisy when next to Declan.

Fidelia showed a gentle smile; she still couldn't believe it, now she had become the lover of a billionaire. It's like a dream. As soon as she knew the truth, she couldn't deny his feelings because the sincerity in this gentleman subdued her. She didn't understand why; every time she saw him, her heart pounded and went numb.

"How's your talk with Alisa?"

Declan moved closer and hugged Fidelia's slender body; he shook his head, his deep voice ringing in her ear: "I'm sorry. Alisa's personality since childhood was unruly. It turned out that Alisa was the one who caused the misunderstanding between us."

Declan raised his hand to rub his temples, sighed, and said sadly, "Actually, Emily is Alisa's best friend. Perhaps Alisa also cannot accept the truth because of this."

Now Fidelia understood why Alisa had such a harsh reaction. After all, Alisa wasn't exactly as bad a person as she thought. She could understand Alisa's mood. Suddenly she thought of her friendship with Brenna. It is indeed very different. She smiled bitterly; she clenched her fists to suppress the anger in her heart. They were once close friends too, but Brenna stabbed her in the back with a knife. It would be great if she had a close friend like Alisa.

Fidelia gently stroked Declan's soft hair, saying in a loving voice, "I'm fine. I'm fine."

After saying that, Declan placed a sweet kiss on Fidelia's cheek, making her blush, and she hastily turned away. She still couldn't get used to his intimate contact. Declan stroked the wound on Fidelia's neck, his eyes full of guilt.

Fidelia pressed her cheek to Declan's warm hand, smiled, and said, "I'm fine. It's just a minor wound."

His eyes met Fidelia's red ear, causing lust in him to surge. It had been too long since he had any desire to lust after any woman's body. But seeing her expression today, her white neck and total bust peeking through her shirt, made him want to be physical with her for once. The scent on her body was so sweet that people were intoxicated. He felt an instant stirring of desire between his legs. His dark eyes were filled with lust. Declan gritted his teeth to control the lust that surged through him. He squeezed Fidelia's waist and hurt her; she moaned softly, startling him, quickly standing up, turning her face away to hide her mixed emotions.

"Declan, what's wrong with you? Are you unwell somewhere?" Fidelia did not notice his change, she asked worriedly.

"No, no. I'm fine." His voice became hoarse. "Fidelia, I must go to work now; I'll be back tomorrow.

"If you're busy, you don't need to come here. When I leave the hospital, I'll call to let you know." Fidelia made an offer, but he immediately refused:

"No, I will come. I'll send some bodyguards here today to protect you if anything goes wrong."

Declan took a deep breath, kissed her forehead lightly, and quickly left. "Damned." He scolded himself; one kiss was not enough to satisfy him. Fidelia has a strange attraction to him that makes him unable to contain himself. He felt like a hungry wolf, lusting after lust. He couldn't let desire overwhelm his reason. If he were in a hurry, grabbing Fidelia would frighten her and possibly leave him at any moment.

It took a long time for the lust in him to gradually subside. He loosened his tie to make breathing more manageable, the sweat on his body already soaking his shirt underneath. Never before had he lost control like this. Fidelia is like a dose of opium; once taken medicine, it will be difficult to resist the allure.

After he calmed down, he ordered Leonard to drive away to the bank to withdraw the amount of five million dollars, preparing for tonight's transaction.

Declan's car had just left when Brenna got out of the vehicle. She rushed to the hospital to confirm when she received a call that her transaction had wholly failed. Those sent on a mission were all killed, and a man saved Fidelia. Seeing Declan come out of the hospital, Brenna guessed that this was the person who saved Fidelia.

"After all, what kind of person is he to have such courage?" Brenna wondered. Looking at the expensive car he just got on, one can guess that this is a rich and powerful person. She knew that he didn't care about Fidelia's past from how he protected Fidelia. This makes Brenna extremely angry; she is jealous of Fidelia. Brenna thinks she is not inferior to Fidelia in any respect, but why does Fidelia always receive good things? Because of this, Brenna is greedy, wanting to take everything Fidelia has and is about to have. It was this man. At any rate, Brenna will make this noble man entirely hers.

"If you can't kill Fidelia, make her suffer again. Fidelia, I definitely won't leave you alone." Brenna thought to herself and gave a sly smile.

Just as Brenna was about to return, she saw Fidelia go outside alone. Brenna quickly got inside the car when she saw Fidelia walking toward her. Brenna clasped her hands to the steering wheel, biting her lips, looking at Fidelia indignantly when she saw that she was still alive, her face beaming, her eyes shining with happiness.

Just as Brenna was about to approach Fidelia's place, she suddenly saw a beautiful woman blocking Fidelia's path. Brenna thought to herself, "Did she come to get jealous?"

Brenna gave a smug smile; she wanted to see this scene. This is going to be a pretty special show.

"Fidelia, you are such a shameless person! Did you know my brother is a billionaire? You are not qualified to love my brother. The only person worthy of my brother is Emily. You understand, you fool." Alisa said in a sarcastic voice.

Brenna was startled to learn that Fidelia's current man was a billionaire. She still didn't believe it; she hurriedly took out her phone and searched for information about someone named Declan. Brenna was shocked, covering her mouth to keep her voice from coming out. There is only one young billionaire named Declan Galbraith. It turns out that the man who saved Fidelia is a famous billionaire mentioned a lot in the media.  Not wanting to lose to Fidelia, a conspiracy appeared in Brenna's mind. She flashed a cunning smile, waiting for the right moment to make Fidelia automatically abandon the man.

At this time, because Fidelia knew that the arrogant girl standing in front of her, saying insulting words was Declan's sister, she had to hold back. She didn't want Declan to have a hard time when there was a conflict between her and his sister.

"Did you come here to see me just to say this?" Fidelia asked calmly. "I think it's unnecessary."

She approached Fidelia and said in a low voice, "Don't show me that fake face. I know you did not love my brother; you clung to my brother for money and material things. Let me tell you, my brother is only interested in you temporarily. After a while, Declan would get bored of you and throw you away like a trash bag. The person my brother loves the most is only Emily. You should know the thing that automatically leaves my brother."

Fidelia felt uncomfortable and frustrated when she heard Alisa's criticisms; she took a deep breath and grunted her voice: " Alisa, I repeat again. I love Declan, not because he's a billionaire. Because..."

"Don't believe what someone who has spent time in prison says," Brenna said as she came up from behind.

"What? Did she go to jail?" Alisa exclaimed in amazement.

Hearing this, Alisa stood back with a frightened expression, looking at Fidelia like an eccentric. "She is disgusting. If that's the case, then you can't be with my brother."

Fidelia clenched her jaw, looking at Brenna with intense anger, fury burning her chest. With others, she can be patient, but with Brenna, she definitely refuses to yield. She said coldly, "Brenna, perhaps you heard that I am not dead, so you seem very frightened. So you came here to check, right?"

The smile on Brenna's face immediately disappeared when Fidelia guessed correctly, her eyes flickering with fear. She swallowed to calm herself, then turned to Alisa with a menacing threat: "I advise you to stay away from her. She once killed two innocent people."
