Sebastian Brenand nodded before turning to look at Rachel Wood. “Honey, do you still feel sick?”She nodded, prompting him to look over to Stephen Harris. “She feels weak and chilly. Is this normal? Is there any way to make her feel better?”“There’s nothing to do. Rachel would need to get plenty of rest. These are all typical reactions at the start, but things should improve after the first three months.“Of course, I’ve seen a minority of people suffering from morning sickness throughout the pregnancy,” Stephen explained, making his heart twinge painfully when he heard this.He gently caressed Rachel’s face. “Honey, I’m sorry for what you have to go through. I’ll treat you better from now on.”“It’s not a big deal. Don’t all women have to experience this anyway?” she replied, chuckling. “How can it not be a big deal? I think it’s a huge deal,” he retorted indignantly.“Don’t exaggerate things. I’m not that fragile,” she insisted, but he didn't believe her.“You can act tough

Rachel Wood loved her baby very much.She would follow anything Stephen Harris advised to ensure her baby could be delivered safely.If he'd asked her to avoid eating something, she wouldn’t eat it.Feeling assured, he nodded and stood up to watch them leave before returning to his office with a smile. Meanwhile, Sebastian Brenand and Rachel took the elevator downstairs before leaving the hospital building.Their affectionate interactions had attracted a lot of attention.Sebastian, who was behaving like the perfect boyfriend, won the hearts of many young ladies.Rachel felt deeply embarrassed with everyone watching, but she was left with no choice as he insisted on carrying her.After getting into the car, he carefully fastened her seat belt and then turned the ignition on to begin driving very slowly throughout the journey at only thirty miles an hour.It was a far cry from how he used to drive.Moreover, he peered around cautiously to avoid knocking against anything that

Now, Rachel Wood felt very happy.Sebastian Brenand smiled and held her hand. “Silly girl, I wanted to give you all those things because I love you. From now on, I will work even harder to be a good husband and father.” She nodded instantly, knowing he would do what he said. “Also, don’t bring up things like that again. I don’t exactly have a pristine past, either. There is no reason for me to judge you. Also, even though you went through all those things, you’re always the purest in my heart.“Rachel, let’s not talk about that again, okay? Leave it all in the past,” he told her, knowing she would be sad whenever the sore subject came up.So, he hoped she could forget all of it in time, despite knowing how traumatic the experience had been for her.Rachel nodded and subconsciously tightened her grip on his hand.When they returned home, Sebastian carefully carried her to the couch as if she was a fragile heirloom.Once she was seated comfortably, he sat beside her and took hi

The father would usually have to consent if his child were to take after the mother's last name. In most cases, the father might not agree.However, Sebastian Brenand brought this up when the thought didn't even cross Rachel Wood's mind, so she was surprised but understood his reasons behind the suggestion.She knew it was because he was thoroughly disappointed by his parents and no longer wanted to extend his family’s bloodline.“The Brenand family doesn’t deserve a child with its surname or someone as kind as you,” Sebastian said. “That’s why you must listen to me on this matter.”“Have you thought it through? There's no going back if your parents find out about this,” Rachel replied with uncertainty.“Hah! I never thought about going back," he sneered. "Besides, it’s my decision to make. What’s wrong with that?”She refrained from arguing further after seeing how determined he seemed.“What do you think we should name our child? How about Mandy, if it’s a girl? It sounds love

Rachel Wood couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Sebastian Brenand. “It honestly isn’t necessary.”“It is necessary. Listen to me, all right?” Sebastian insisted, making her nod helplessly.He was more stubborn than anyone she knew. Once he’d made up his mind, nobody could convince him otherwise.She wouldn’t bother changing his mind on such small matters, so she let him have his way.“Sebastian, I think I’ll turn into a pig in three months if that’s the case,” she whined.“Why would that happen?”“I don’t even have to lift a finger to get anything I need. You’ll regret it when the time comes,” she answered.He had carried her into the bedroom and carefully lowered her on the bed by then.After that, he went down on one knee to gently remove her slippers before helping her to lie down.Although the temperature was just right in the room, he still pulled a thin duvet over her, making her feel even more like a baby.“Why would I regret it, hmm?” he murmured.“I won't look attrac

Rachel Wood was happy, too.The baby’s arrival healed all the scars in her heart and made her feel at peace.There was a feeling of satisfaction whenever she thought about becoming a mother.The thought of a new life in her belly, belonging to her and Sebastian Brenand, made her heart melt.“I will work harder in the future. Whatever other people have, I must make sure my wife and child have it, too,” Sebastian declared.“Also, let’s try our best to keep your pregnancy a secret. Be more careful every day, as well. I’m worried my terrible parents might do something to you,” he added.Sebastian’s parents sold Rachel to a rural village in the mountains in an attempt to separate them.What else weren't they capable of doing?In his eyes, his parents were no less evil than the devil himself.“I will ask Stephen Harris to keep it a secret. I trust him. He’s never been the kind to spill secrets,” he went on.Rachel nodded in agreement. Everything he said was right.One shouldn’t

“Freedom is important to me, but you and our child are even more important. As long as we can be together, I’m willing to give up the freedom I’ve always yearned for,” Rachel Wood said.Sebastian Brenand felt very touched when he heard that.He hugged her tightly. “Thank you, Rachel. You’re such a kind and understanding person.“Do you have any idea how lucky I am to meet someone so gentle, pretty, and kind like you? You’ve helped me get rid of a lot of my bad habits.“Through you, I finally understand what it means to love and what a real family should be,” he expressed thoughtfully with a somber expression.“What about my parents? Should we tell them?” she wondered.“It’s up to you, but it’s better if we don’t, to be honest. That’s the safest option,” he answered.It made sense, so she agreed with a nod. “Then we won’t tell them. Once the baby is born, we’ll surprise them with news that they’ve become grandparents.”Sebastian felt his heart melting at her words. With a wife l

“I heard you live along Cape Road, right?" Selena Underwood asked. "I live there, too. Listen, my car broke down. I know this might sound bothersome, but could you give me a ride home after work?”Sebastian Brenand immediately figured out her intention when he heard her.She was trying to seduce him.She might be pretty, but the method she used was unacceptable.It was the shadiest move he had ever seen.“Then why did you ask if you know it’s bothersome?” he replied coldly. His eyes never shifted away from the folder in front of him.Selena never expected he would respond to her like this.She was an attractive woman, after all.She could get any man she wanted if she took the first step.Would Sebastian be the first man to resist her?She refused to believe it.All men loved pretty women.“I’m sorry for the sudden request, Mr. Brenand, but since it’s on your way and I’ve already asked, why don’t you-?”“Since you already know it’s sudden, then get out,” he interjected, cu

Xyla quickly reached for Hannah’s hand. “Is that right? Hannah, you’re amazing…! You’re practically on par with Leon!”Hannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. “Not at all.”“Oh, cut it out. If you hadn’t helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?” Leon chuckled.“I guess I’ve lived up to my promise.” Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of.

“Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.“I’ll protect you. From now on, you don’t have to worry about a single thing.” With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannah’s face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surreal…Hannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannah’s dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But now… Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while

Over time, Leon’s feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannah’s mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasn’t he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldn’t utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake.

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannah’s body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror. Stammering, she asked, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think? Do you honestly think I’d fall for your lies again and again?” Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didn’t leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Gray… Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didn’t know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.

A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired

Hannah Roland smiled politely at Lina Cohen. “Nice to meet you… Thank you in advance!”“No problem… Do let me know if there’s anything you don’t like about your makeup too,” Lina said.Hannah nodded. “Okay, sure…”“By the way… Do all the signers here get such good treatment? I’m surprised we’re even assigned our own makeup artists,” Hannah asked carefully as she wasn’t aware about things like these..However, Lina smiled without answering Hannah’s question directly. She held Hannah’s hand casually the next second, “Come here. I’ll start doing your makeup now…”Hannah nodded…Lina was a very professional makeup artist. She took an hour to finish Hannah’s makeup.An hour later, Hannah’s appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannah’s long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannah’s makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes

Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation. He’s fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance. In fact, he even told me I did a good job…”“He said you can sing without worrying about a single thing… If you need any help in the future, do let us know…” Rihanna added.Hannah felt glad when she heard this, and became teary-eyed. “Thank you… Please thank our big boss for me too.
