I stare at the woman for a few seconds and frown."You are Alina Miller, right?" The woman stands up and walks towards me enchantingly. "I heard that Madame Barnett made you his wife. She has a good taste. You look good but you are so naive... I did not mean you were young and cute. I mean your air shows that you are imbecile!"Insulting me in my face? I smile. "You look good and you are smart. You are better than me in all aspects. When will Freddy marry you?"I sound calm but she is irritated at once."Alina! How dare you talk to me like this! Do you know how many years I have followed Freddy? Even if you are his wife, even if I slap you now, he will not help you."After that, the woman raises her arm.suddenly, something breaks Loudly. It was me who threw the vase on the shelf in the corner onto the table in front of them. The vase broke into pieces spreading on the carpet. It even hurts me, so my blood is dropping onto the carpet too.I bend to pick up a piece. I hold the piece t
Although I have never been pregnant before, I know that many people vomit or even stay in bed when they are pregnant. Luckily, except for feeling sick, I have never vomited.But looking at the steak on my plate, I feel sick immediately, so I pick it out. "Mrs. Barnett, is this steak badly cooked?" Amy looks at me nervously.I shake my head. "I want to eat some vegetables recently."Amy answers, "OK. I will make you vegetables Tonight.""Thank you..." Suddenly, my phone rings. I glance at Freddy and rush towards my bedroom. I do not want to pick up phones in front of Freddy and I do not want him to hear what I talk to others."Miss Miller, I am your father's lawyer. Are you free today?"I keep silent and listen carefully. I feel moved when hear from a man related to my father. Although The lawyer did not tell me anything Important, I can guess what this talk will be about. "Sure. Let's meet at 11 o'clock."After dressing up formally, I go out with my bag. Unexpectedly, I see Freddy's
The Barnett group.In the most luxurious office on the top floor.In front of the bright and clean floor to ceiling window, there is a man standing against the golden sunshine. His eyes are deep and extraordinary. In his hands is a document which was sent by his beta, Roy."Alpha, the miller group has 5 billion debt. Mrs. Miller and her daughter went abroad this morning. In my opinion, they will not come back if the miller group affairs are not settled. I think Alina may also give up the Miller group. After all, 5 billion is incredible for her." Roy analyses."Roy, let's make a bet." Stephen, the CFO of the Barnett group smiles like sly fox. He walks towards Roy and puts his arm around Roy's shoulder. "I bet Alina will come to Freddy for money. If she comes to Freddy, I guess Freddy will give her some. After all, they are nominal couple."Roy shakes his head. "She dare not."Stephen laughs. " you know a little about her. Last night when we celebrated our first birthday, she broke a va
By 10 o'clock at night, I finally get home, Freddy's home. It is cold today. The leaves on the ground fly with the wind dropping onto my coat. I get out of the taxi and walk quickly towards Freddy's house.against the darkness, the Black low cut dress on me makes me feel upset and nervous. It shows half of my breasts and my whole legs. I feel cold from my bones. Dressing like this at night is not a good way to keep safe.He is wearing a black shirt now. I must admit that he is cold and handsome. If he were not so dangerous and cold, I might fall in love with him. But now I only want to keep myself safe before divorcing him."You were wearing pants this morning."His words surprise me. What does he mean by saying so?"Ah... So what..." I answer ambiguously."Are you wearing this to please other men?""What?" I am confused. Is he insane? I look around. Today, the atmosphere in this house is pretty weird. Amy usually comes to me and helps me with shoes and bags when I get home, but toda
I pick up the pieces on the ground in tears. I feel aggrieved and tired.The dinner tonight was arranged by Bill, my father's assistant and the dress was also bought by him. When I saw the dress, I did not want to wear at the first thought. It was so short and I knew it was used to please men. I even thought that maybe Bill was the kind of bad person who wanted to take advantage of me. But the only thing I could do was to get dressed and go to the restaurant. After my father's death, Bill was the only one who were willing to approach me and talk about the company affairs. Before I have the chance to be independent and to know more about the company, I can only depend on Bill. So I need to believe him. If I believe him, the most important thing for the company is to get investment, so I need to have a dinner with the two bankers. But when the two bankers wanted to force me to drink, I could no more stand it. I only wanted to escape. I have babies in my belly and I am a mother of thre
Alina's POVThis morning, I woke up pretty early. I planned to get up early to have breakfast so that I could avoid meeting Freddy, but when I come out of my bedroom and walk towards the dining room, Amy greets me with a smile, "Mrs. Barnett, you also got up early today. Luckily, the breakfast is ready."When I hear the word "Also", I know I can not enjoy a happy breakfast today. I turn around and I am about to go back to my room when Amy continues, "Mrs. Barnett, yesterday you said that you wanted to eat some vegetables, so I made you a fruit pizza and some potato soup today. I also made you some salad. I hope you like them."Amy is really kind to me, so I cannot reject her. I sit beside the table reluctantly, with an air of unhappiness when I see Freddy.Although Freddy does not look at me either, I bet he can sense my air of anger, so he says coldly, "We will go to visit my mother after breakfast. You must know what to say and what not to say, right?"I feel impatient when he order
"You overestimate me. Even if I borrow money from Freddy, he will not send money to me. I know who I am." My words make the Barnett family feel relieved. They do not know that after Freddy woke up, he was eager to divorce me. So how could you send money to me?After drinking some coffee and having some desserts, People in the Barnett family have calmed down a little. And when I am about to let out a sigh of relief, Carl holds my hands. I know she has another plan to make use of me."Alina, If you want to help your father's company, why not have a baby for Freddy? By then, Freddy will definitely give you money." I touch my belly subconsciously and glance at Freddy. He is drinking coffee in a calm and relaxed manner , as if he does not hear his mother's promise to me.We leave Carol's house after lunch. When we sit in the backseat of the car, Freddy stares outside silently. Suddenly, he says, "Alina, even if you have my babies, I will kill them by myself."His voice seems to be from a
When I finally see the car running away, I let out a sigh of relief. I check the time and rush to the Miller company. I have decided to sell all my father's properties to pay the debt. I want to pay the debt first and then look for investment.Looking for investment may be difficult because I have humiliated the two bankers and day have said that they would not send me any money.After what happened yesterday, I finally meet Bill. "Alina, do not be worried or feel guilty. If you drink alcohol according to their order last night, they may do something more terrible. I know you are not that kind of woman, so I will not push you."I smile politely. "Even if you push me, I will not do that."Bill looks embarrassed. "I made a list last night. On the list, there are the most powerful and rich people in the city. They have the ability to save our company. If you can persuade one of them, our company will be saved."I purse my lips and have a look at the list. There are many names on the list
Freddy’s POVWhen I wake up, Alina reaches out to check my forehead temperature."Your body temperature is normal now. You slept all afternoon, and now it is dark. You should get up and go home!” Alina hands over the clean clothes that Roy has brought to me this afternoon.I look around the room with scarlet eyes.“Get up! This is the only bed in our house!” Alina urges.When I hear this, I say hoarsely, "I am dizzy..."Alina says, “Don't pretend! I just touched your forehead. You do not have fever!”I turn my head away and cough. It seems that I am going to cough my insides out.Alina purses her lips, afraid to say anything more.Although I do not have a fever, I am still suffering from all kinds of complications.Alina does not know about it and she does not care either. She goes out of the room and asks Roy for help. "Your Alpha is awake, but he says he can't get up... Let him go!"Ro
"I want to stay for lunch." I make a request.Alina is speechless.I raise my eyebrows and wait."I want to say no, but I do not even know how to say no. After all, it is only lunch. I am not so stingy as to throw a sick and hungry man out of the door."Alina rolls her eyes with disdain. “If you want to stay, then you stay and eat! I will go out!” Alina gets up from the sofa and goes to her room to change her clothes."Alina, aren't you going to come home in the future?" I get up from the sofa and chase her to the bedroom door.Alina says, "This is my home. And I am at home now.""Did my mom say anything to you last night?" I ask."No." It seems that she does not want to have any trouble so she says nothing. "After all, you are weak now. It is better to have your mother by your side taking care of you. Moreover, our affairs have nothing to do with others. I do not think we are right for each other.”"What kind of people
Amy’s POVThe next morning, Denise wakes up to find her bed empty and her heart empty.She goes downstairs to find Freddy. "Maid, where is Freddy?"I say in surprise. "I was downstairs all the time. Mr Barnett never came down."Denise says, “He is not in the room! I thought he must have gone out, so I came downstairs.”I say, “Oh, my god! Mr Barnett can't just disappear!”As I say that, I run upstairs.Denise and I search every room on the second floor, but we can't find freddy.Denise cries, "It is all my fault.... I slept so soundly last night that I did not notice he got out of bed..."I hurry downstairs and say, “I will go and ask the gatekeeper. If Mr Barnett went out, there would be a note at the gate.”In a moment, I get feedback from the gatehouse.Freddy did not go out.I immediately summon all my subordinates and begin a careful search inside and outside the villa.Ha
Blaney says, "He is much younger than Ollie and Freddy. He is just like a puppy. Alina, if you get divorced, go for younger men. They are easier to control."I say, "We will see when I actually get divorced!"Blaney says, "Do you really want to divorce Freddy?"I say, "Whether I divorce him or not, I will not get a penny of his money."Blaney says, "That is true. A man like him... most people can't take advantage of him."At dinner, I only eat a piece of bread. Then i put down my fork.Kelly says, "Why don't you eat more? Is it not to your taste?"I frown slightly and say, "Mom, my belly is starting to show now. People can know that i am pregnant."Kelly laughs and says, "You have already been pregnant for four and a half months. Your belly definitely starts to show."I say, "Fortunately, because it is cold, I am wearing a lot of clothes now, so no one can tell if i am really pregnant."Kelly says, "Well...
Freddy has lost a lot of weight. His already well-defined features now appear even more profound and elegant.How did he turn up here? Is the mysterious guest supposed to be him?After completing her task, Mary leaves the backstage. Looking at Mary's departure, I realize that the mysterious guest is indeed Freddy.He is supposed to be sick in bed, right? Is he better now?I stand motionlessly in my spot, not speaking to him or approaching him."Mr Barnett, the person you are looking for is this lady, right?" The host comes to ask Freddy.Freddy nods and says, "Thank you.""No problem." the host replies nervously.Freddy takes a step forward. He walks up to me with his calm air. He looks down at me with his blue eyes. "Let us talk.""What do you want to talk about? There is nothing to talk about between us." I lower my eyes to avoid looking him in the eye. My voice is cold.Freddy does not get angry or annoye
I feel like a knife is scraping my scalp. At this time last night, the sky began to rain. Later, it rained more and more. It rained all night.I sniff my nose.Freddy was standing in the rain on this cold winter night. He must be cold.A car stops in the parking lot outside the hotel. The door opens. Henry and Blaney get out of the car. After they get out of the car, another car stops in front of them. It is Stephen."Stephen." Henry calls him.Stephen says, "Why are you here?"Henry says, "I am looking for Alina with my girlfriend..."When they are talking, Blaney has already come to me and hugged me."I am also coming for her." Stephen narrows his eyes and stares at me from a distance. "I will let you handle this. I want her to go back to the Barnett house.""You can trust my girlfriend. She is reliable." Henry says affirmatively.Stephen sneers with disdain. "Without your girlfriend, they would not have b
The rain falls all night..And in the middle of the night, the rain gets heavier and turns into a downpour.I am awakened by the sound of the rain in the middle of the night and want to go downstairs to take a look, but I am afraid of seeing what I do not want to see, so I force myself not to get out of my bed.In the next morning, I wrap myself in a coat and hurry downstairs at 6 am.The neighborhood is old and the unit building in front of the building has a large puddle of water after a night of heavy rain.Freddy is no longer there.I let out a sigh of relief."If Alina and Freddy can divorce this time, it will be good. But I am afraid that even if their relationship is so troublesome, their life will be together as usual.Roy’s POVIt is 10 AM.In the Barnett Group, Henry hurriedly comes to the top-floor executive area."Roy, I can't get through to Freddy, so I come by to see you," Henry says. He liv
If I had the chance to do it all over again, I would still do the same thing.I have never been a perfect person.It was Alina's presence that made me try to criticize, examine, and correct my own actions.Without the misunderstandings and arguments between us, my feelings for her would not have taken root in my heart.Alina’s POVBlaney chases me out of the restaurant and grabs me by the arm."Alina, I really did not expect you to marry Freddy! This news is just too shocking!" Blaney is so excited that she feels dizzy.I feel like something is stuck in my throat and say, "You also saw that he played me around.""Henry said Freddy wanted to help you, but he was too embarrassed to come out and do it himself," Blaney thinks that things should not have escalated to this point, "Alina, let's go in! Let him explain..."I relax Blaney's hold and say firmly and coldly, "You go in! I want to be alone."I
Freddy says, "You have a veto power."I sigh and say, "Freddy, I am not you. I am not as ruthless as you. I do not have the ability to be ruthless. Let's eat.""Are you free tomorrow?" To my surprise, Freddy does not argue with me."It seems like you have some free time," I say, lowering my eyes and scooping a spoonful of soup into my mouth."I will have the driver pick you up in the afternoon," he says."Oh, where to go?" I ask curiously.Freddy replies, "You will find out when the time comes."He is making progress.Last time at the concert, he did not tell me in advance.This time, at least he is giving me a signal in advance.Blaney's POVIt is 5 o'clock.Henry takes me to a fancy restaurant."Blaney, do you remember the friend I told you about last time?" Henry holds my hand and does not want to let go for a second."The one who suddenly got married." I try to recall and
