This expulsion was no joke at all.
Their trust in me was as thin as the distance between my room and the two bodyguards standing in front of the stairs. They were watching me, even though I still had until tomorrow night to be expelled.
I looked at the large suitcase beside me that was still empty. I had to fill it up now if I didn't want to meet another unpleasant expulsion.
"What should I do..." I said weakly. I stroked my head, which suddenly hurt again. I'm sure the pain in my head right now isn't because of my illness, it's because my desire to stay here is being blocked.
'Mattheo... I haven't answered his questions about Luke Davis. And he hasn't gotten any clarity on my illness either. But why is he silent? With her emotional nature, it would make more sense if she locked me up now, and forced me to explain everything.'
My thoughts were chaotic and erratic. My head hurt, and so did my stomach. Not done with Mattheo, now I had to dea
Accompanied only by a suitcase that wasn't even full, I left for the first time with a jealous heart. Heartache, and disappointment hurt, I poured it all out in silent cries in this cab.The sun was starting to recede from its performance. The white car that I was riding in, crashed through a rain shower that came from the middle of nowhere.Looking at it was like watching a miniature of my own life. Even this city was touched by my heartbreaking life story.This rain accompanied my silent cries, curled up in a chair, hoping that no one would know how broken I was.At least, I'm grateful that the apartment I managed to buy has a long commute. Otherwise, I would have swallowed my shame when I got out of the cab car, crying my eyes out.I rubbed my flat belly. I talked to my baby who was sleeping there."I'm sorry," I said, softly. "I'm sorry I couldn't keep your father. Your mother fought. From now on, we'll live alone, okay?"The driv
"Get out of my way." I brushed him off. My distaste for his presence showed in the furrowing of my brow, which I didn't try to cover up."You're not listening. I didn't follow you all the way here," he says. His hand was now on the door to my apartment, once he knew I intended to move from his presence."Take a look yourself." Luke Davis handed me his cell phone, a thin black object that had been the center of the man's attention.I look at it with one eye, then stifle my mocking laughter. "What do you want to show me with this phone? About you installing a GPS app to track my location?"The pride in me told me not to accept his cell phone. The man fell silent, his cold face turning slightly annoyed without my knowledge.On the thin cell phone screen, a report of the qualification payment for the apartment purchase was displayed. Which was none other than my trace history."You bought this apartment using the Black Card my family gave you, r
I sharply poked the man beside me, with my eyes. "What else are you up to, Luke Davis?""Don't accuse me. I have nothing to do with your mother," he replied casually.I hated the calmness that flowed through him. Because I know he's been planning more horrible things than this.On the other hand, Luke Davis is the only person who knows my entire condition. Which even Mattheo doesn't know. In his hands, he has tons of options to bring me to my knees.Or conversely, make my life hell.He was still in the car when I got out and entered the house. I wish I could have met Angel before him. I searched for her face amidst the line of maids lined up in the living room when she saw me coming into the house.I called out her name, and only a shake of the head was received from them. I wanted to make sure in the little time I was not here, whether the wounds on Angel's body had increased or not."Young Lady." My mother's secretary called out to
"Secre! Lock her up in her room now! Place ten guards at once in front of her door!" my mother ordered.Those who received orders from my mother, no longer treated me like a human. My body was so small in front of the tall, towering bodyguards. Instead of dragging me, they carried me on their shoulders.And locked me up in my room.Bam! Bam! Bam!"Open the door! Tell my mom I'm not done talking yet!" Both of my hands tried to bang on the door of my room which was locked tightly.No one would have guessed that the sun had already risen. My room was getting brighter and brighter, making me realize the gravity of the situation I was in.Of all the worst possibilities, why did my mom choose Luke Davis as the successor to her company?This was very serious. I intend to hide the male extension until the baby is born. At the very least, Mattheo shouldn't find out about Luke Davis' existence. Not to mention, the crazy match my mom ma
"If he could burn you alive, he would have done it to me first," I retorted irritably while biting my finger."That's terrible, Belle. How could your problem widen to this extent? That husband of yours, how could he calmly order to isolate his wife? If the public finds out, he could be imprisoned."I let out a long, tired breath before replying, "Just take me to the hospital. I'll make sure first that what you're saying is true or not. Mattheo and I have a long-term beneficial relationship. He can't logically do something like that."Nick turned to me at the sight of his car's steering wheel, throwing me an amused look. "Wow. That's unbelievable. Since when have I been friends with such a pessimistic woman? Do you need proof? Okay. Come on, let's go to the hospital right now."He angrily drove the car with the speed turned up to full. I ignored his anger coming from my irresponsible mouth, along with the pain in my head."Ugh." The headache gradual
I hate it the most when strangers dare to touch their noses in my personal affairs. Above all, why must my ex-lover be my guardian angel?'When I was desperate to get away from him!' I regretted it to myself. Regretting my decision to let Luke Davis in. I should have kicked him out of my sight the first time I met him at the hospital.*ggggrrrr*Again, what a bad time to get a call from my cell phone."It's been vibrating since yesterday," she said, equally looking at the cell phone lying cold on the divan table."I could have picked it up, you know," he continued. Before that, his eyes scrolled before mine.Once again, my soul was drawn into that piercing gaze. His hands didn't move, but in front of him, I felt like I was being strangled to the point where I couldn't breathe.It was only by looking away that I was able to regain my breathing that had been lost to him."I want a little privacy," I told him. Deliberately, I kept my voice as low as possible so he'd know this wasn't a req
In my silence, he would never guess that I was observing his pitiful expression. Others who knew the true demeanor of the last heir to the Davis conglomerate would find his pathetic demeanor a source of ridicule in their circle.That's right. Other women would kill to get a piece of Luke Davis' attention. Hilariously, the same man is throwing his feelings away on a married, pregnant, and above all, diseased woman who won't last long.He can pick all the best women in town, who are much better than me. Trapped in the threads of the past, Luke Davis can only see me in his eyes.I don't know if this is good luck or not. But I'm sorry, Luke. To me, you're just someone who once filled my heart in the past.Nothing more, nothing less.This room is still full of the sad waves emanating from her eyes. The longer I stand here, the more the air I live in chokes me.I have no intention of dealing with his useless feelings. My feet, boldly leaving the man who had saved my life so many times.Just
*Tap! Tap! Tap!*My reverie was broken. My back felt a vibration from the hand that knocked on the door behind me. The knock was different from how the servant had broken in earlier, trying to force it open."Belle?" A man's voice came from behind the door. I realized that the servant seemed to have called Luke Davis to report what was going on.'How annoying. I don't even have time to think, huh?' I was annoyed. I uncovered part of my clothes, to hide the letter and photo.I won't let Luke Davis get his hands on it. I need to find out who sent this letter. And why a letter that was supposed to be in my hands was sent to this mansion?Before opening the door, I make sure the letter is tucked safely under my dress without raising suspicion. Luke Davis is the first one I catch sight of when the door opens.My eyes scroll to his left and right, but there's no one. The servant is gone. I assume that waiter has given up trying to persuade me, and now my opponent is Luke Davis."You can't ju
Belle's POV“Nggg~” Raven whined in tears when I separated him from his soft pillow. Not much different from her brother, Christ, who had already cried when his deep sleep was awakened. I really couldn't bear to wake them up in their unhealthy state.'However, Mattheo is already in Japan. It's only a matter of time until he finds the location of this hospital and my nightmare will come true.' I reminded myself not to let my guard down for a second in this critical situation.“Forgive your mother, my dear. I'm sorry.” I repeatedly apologized to my two babies who had to become victims of their parents' problems. I had to do this now or never.While Robert was still talking to someone on his phone, while the hospital was still too quiet for the guards to find me. Once again, I had to leave everything behind for my two babies. I'm not sure I would have survived if I hadn't hurried now.As soon as I found out Mattheo had reached Japan, the stitches in my stomach were excruciating. My stoma
Natalia’s POVI never expected to get a surprise like this, Mattheo's coming to the hospital and seeing me alone had managed to make my heart beat.I never imagined that Mattheo would even give me another surprise that was even more shocking than the previous one, not only did it make me do heart exercises, but it almost made my heart fall out of place because I was so surprised to see Mattheo in front of my eyes when I was just a few steps away from getting into the car.It was even more shocking that he was waiting for me there, like he already knew what I was going to do after this. Mattheo, he couldn't possibly know that I was going to leave and escape through the back door of the hospital and he couldn't possibly know that I kept a car in the backyard of this hospital either, right?''So, what are you going to say again this time? What are you going to explain about everything that has happened this time, where are you going and what made you decide to escape from this hospital?'
Natalia’s POVWho would have thought, a few moments after the phone call with Ragen had been disconnected, the doctor came back into the hospital room and he again checked my condition, which was still lying weakly on the hospital bed even though it had been assisted by drugs and also an IV tube that was still attached to my wrist.I will not waste this good opportunity. I will ask the doctor if I can get out of the hospital right now, so that I can meet Mommy Ragen without getting suspicion from anyone, including Mattheo if he finds me out there again.Unfortunately what I hoped for didn't really come true, the doctor stuck to his decision of not allowing me to be discharged from the hospital. My body that was still weak and not fully healthy was used as an excuse to keep me here.But I also can't stay here like this, I have to go and see Ragen before she does something much worse, she could tell Mattheo and twist the facts so that Mattheo only hates me.No, I can't let that happen!
Natalia’s POV''Mattheo, can I talk to you outside? There's something I want to talk to you about,'' Robert said which made me turn my head, wondering to myself what Robert was going to talk to Mattheo about?Was he going to say something very important that I shouldn't know so Robert asked Mattheo to leave?Shit, why can't my brain think properly? Even if Robert asked Mattheo to talk outside together, I was sure that Robert wouldn't tell the truth. Yes, he is also the one who has always helped me, if what I hid from Mattheo was revealed, it would also drag his name and Robert would not do that, I'm sure.Never mind, I should just trust him for now. Trying to convince myself that Robert will definitely not do anything wrong, he must have thought about it and considered it carefully before doing something.''Talking together? What do you want to tell me, is there something important?''Robert without hesitation immediately nodded to confirm what Mattheo had questioned, confirming that
Natalia’s POV''Why does your face look so pale after seeing me? Your reaction is so exaggerated, it's like you're seeing a ghost.'' Mattheo mocking me again while I was still trying to convince myself that what I was seeing was real, that Mattheo's presence in front of my eyes was not a hallucination due to the effects of the medicine I had taken.But his coming to the hospital and visiting me was real.He was really in front of me and was even looking at me intently, my palms were getting wet when I saw the way Mattheo was looking at me. With my nerves getting the better of me, I tried to act casual despite the fact that my heart was almost out of place.I'm afraid that Mattheo knows the truth about me, I'm afraid that he knows what I'm hiding from him, and I'm also afraid that Mattheo knows what makes me here now.This stress that I'm feeling, I'm sure it has something to do with Mommy Ragen's request that told and forced me to follow her will, assist her to seize custody of both M
Natalia’s POVI never thought that things would never go as smoothly as Mommy Ragen wanted, the process of taking custody of the child that she wanted was not as easy as imagined.'There was too much drama to be done, too many lies that needed to be prepared in order to get everything that Mommy Ragen wanted.'However, the fire of desire that has been burning so big inside her makes she completely unadvised in any way, she still imposes her will and insists on doing everything possible so that her goal can be achieved immediately.Even I could only stay silent and pensive staring in disbelief at her in front of there who was still talking to the Lawyer to discuss what they would do next so that the custody of Belle's two children could fall into the hands of her grandmother who was none other than Ragen.I did not expect that her ambition to control all the assets inherited to the two babies would make her desperate to do anything, even to the point of trying to seize the custody of B
Ragen’s POV''Robert, no matter what happens. I hope you will keep your mouth shut from everyone, I don't want all this to leak out to others and put me in danger. Mommy would immediately suspect me if what she is planning to do is leaked to others, you want to help me right?''Robert immediately nodded his head, agreeing to what Natalia said to hide everything he knew. To keep everyone's mouth shut so that what was happening here wouldn't leak out.''Of course, you don't have to worry about me leaking it. I will definitely keep my mouth shut with everything that has happened, just relax.'' he reassured Natalia and managed to make her smile with relief, at least Robert could be trusted for now.''That's good, for the time being, we should hide everything that happened from everyone, especially Mattheo, he shouldn't know what his mother is planning. I myself am also reluctant to get involved with that oldman madness, I don't know what the end will be, but I can guess that things will d
Ragen’s POVFrom where I was sitting, I could see Natalia shaking her head, looking very distrustful of me who dared to go against the law to get what I wanted.Of course I dare because it's not the law that I will fight against that I have in mind, but the property that will belong to Belle's two children that will also belong to me if I manage to get custody of the two children.Whatever she thinks, I don't care what she thinks here either, I'm not asking for her opinion. But I'm just forcing her and the lawyer in front of me right now to do what I want.Yes, not just the lawyer. But Natalia must also comply with what I want, whatever I tell her, she must obey!''Why are you shaking your head like that, Natalia? What are you thinking?'' I asked her, furious too because more and more Natalia seemed very out of line with my mindset.''Nothing, Mom. Just.. I think I need to go to the restroom first, You just continue the conversation with Mr. lawyer.''Natalia immediately rose to her f
Ragen’s POV''Natalia, I only asked you to accompany me to the legal counsel. Why are you so scared of being found out by Mattheo? After all as long as we keep quiet and don't tell anyone then it will all be safe right, or do you really want me to do something to you first so that you will listen to what I say and make you want to obey my orders?''I stared at Natalia's two eyeballs so intently, giving off an intimidating aura that was so strong as to pressure Natalia and make her give up on her initial decision to refuse my orders.“Please, I can’t do this,” She’s still rejecting me.“You certainly know what I mean, Natalia. It's not a difficult thing to influence Mattheo to hate you by bringing up his children's names, I can do that if you continue to refuse me. Ah, how about I tell Mattheo that you secretly want to harm his children?''Natalia looked surprised when I suddenly turned my head to look at her, I also saw her body jumped up when I suddenly turned my head and looked at h
