"Thankful if Bella's pregnancy progresses well and there are no problems at all. I hope everything goes smoothly until delivery time."

Edward was on his way back to the hotel after a day of site inspection with Kairos. Remembering that today was Julia's schedule to take Bella for a check-up, he decided to contact her and check on the baby's progress in Bella's womb.

"I'm done and on my way. Maybe after reaching the hotel, I'll go straight to have dinner with Kairos. How about you? Have you had dinner yet?"

"I just finished showering and getting ready," replied Julia, who was at home and currently applying makeup.

"Do you want to go out?"

"Yeah, Honey. Celina invited me to meet up and have dinner outside. Besides, it feels so lonely to have dinner alone without you."

Edward nodded understandingly. He couldn't possibly deny Julia, who must be feeling lonely right now because he was away.

"Well, if that's the case."

"So, when are you coming back to London? Day after tomorrow or Saturday?

    Tell Bella, is what she sees right now luck or rather a misfortune? It's her own fault for drinking so much every midnight. No. It seems this isn't entirely Bella's fault. She does tend to get thirsty because the baby in her belly contributes to her dehydration every night.As she climbs the stairs, intending to return to her room promptly, Bella hears someone opening the front door. Bella is convinced it must be Julia who has just returned.Hastily, Bella steps to quickly enter her room to avoid encountering the homeowner. However, before she could even close the door, Bella clearly hears the voices of a man and a woman conversing while ascending the stairs. Moreover, what they're discussing sounds unusual."You make me even more passionate, Darling.""I haven't even kissed you yet.""In that case, after we get to the room, you have to satisfy me more than usual. Just so you know, Edward hasn't touched me at all since I got back.""So, are you craving affection?"From behind the bedro

    "Are you sure you want to confine me here until tomorrow morning?" Arrow smiled meaningfully. Since last night, until this afternoon, Julia had kept him confined to the room. Who knows how many times they've spent time making love. Embracing each other. Satisfying each other. Even now, Julia had hinted by inviting Arrow to bathe and shower together. "Why? Are you scared? Or maybe your stamina has started to decrease and now you're feeling tired?" Arrow laughed. He didn't like being belittled, let alone underestimated, in his abilities in bed. As a man who was skilled in bed, of course, Julia's words just now hurt his pride. "Oh, come on, Julia. Don't belittle me. Do you doubt my abilities?" Julia laughed in return."If so, why ask? Besides, you can go home after I'm truly satisfied." "If today feels insufficient, you can meet me tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or whenever you need my touch." "Of course," Julia replied confidently. "Without you asking, I will definitely do that

    "Are you sure you want to go back to London tonight as well?" On the way to the airport, Kairos double-checked. He wanted to make sure whether Edward really wanted to return to London tonight after completing their entire work schedule in Switzerland. According to the schedule that had been arranged, Kairos, Edward, and Axel were supposed to return tomorrow. But for some reason, since afternoon, Edward seemed so restless. And now suddenly decided to return tonight as well. "Yeah. Besides, all of our work is done, right? Instead of lingering, why not just go back now?" "We could even rest tonight, Ed. Why the rush?" Kairos debated, still curious. He wanted to know what prompted Edward to decide to return to London immediately. Normally, he wouldn't behave like this. "If you want to rest, you can do it when we get home later. Besides, tomorrow is already the weekend. You can rest to your heart's content without anyone disturbing you." Kairos shook his head. Hearing Edward's respons

    "For God Shake, Kairos. Why are you so happy to be at my house this early in the morning?" Edward grumbled irritably. He had intended to relax and enjoy his day off this morning while planning to have breakfast. However, instead of tranquility, he found Kairos casually seated in his dining room. His friend seemed quite comfortable enjoying breakfast with Bella. Damn! "Edward..." Kairos called out. His hands were busy slicing and scooping up some meat sandwich in front of him. "It's still early. Why are you already grumbling?" "Of course, I'm annoyed! It's a holiday. But here you are, disturbing my peace." "Who's disturbing you?" Kairos retorted, not accepting it. After all, he hadn't done anything. Just making a fuss for no reason. Why did Edward feel bothered? "Of course, it's you! Who else? Besides, why did you come here? I don't think there's any work or business I have with you." Kairos laughed. He couldn't care less if Edward got angry or threw a fit. "Why ask? Obviously,

    Julia appeared relaxed in the dressing room. Just 30 minutes ago, she had finished the dress rehearsal for her appearance later that night. After frequently traveling and attending fashion shows abroad, for more than two months now, Julia had decided to focus on staying in London. Especially since there was the London Fashion Week schedule that she had to follow, demanding her to focus on practicing before appearing in front of designers from various countries. For work, Julia was known for her dedication. She would do anything to maintain her reputation as a professional model. At that moment, Arrow, who had been waiting faithfully, approached. He handed her a bottle of cold drink, along with some fresh fruits for Julia to enjoy. "Don't overdo it. You might get tired later," Arrow cautioned. Seeing Julia practicing since morning, he didn't want the beautiful woman to become overly fatigued, which could destabilize her condition. "I don't feel tired at all. Besides, I have to look

    "Darling... you came to see my performance tonight, didn't you?" Julia had just come out of the bathroom. She approached Edward, who was standing in the walk-in closet, selecting clothes. "If you don't want me to come, I don't mind." Julia approached. She pouted playfully. "Who said you couldn't? I'm asking because I want to make sure you're coming." "Yes... I'll come tonight." Edward then continued selecting clothes. He pulled out a black shirt from the wardrobe, preparing to put it on. "But, Julia..." Edward interrupted. He seemed to remember something. "I just remembered that tonight coincides with Bella's prenatal check-up schedule." "Oh my." Julia exclaimed. "I almost forgot. How many weeks along is the check-up tonight?" Edward recalled for a moment. Carefully calculating how far along Bella's pregnancy currently was. "It's already 16 weeks. Should I be the one to take Bella to see Samuel?" "And you're willing to miss my performance tonight?" Julia sighed. Her expression

    "How about it? Have you made a decision yet?" Early in the morning, Julia visited Arrow in his apartment. She intended to ask Arrow to accompany her in taking care of everything she needed to prepare before leaving for Hawaii tomorrow. After reconsidering all night, weighing and firming her resolve, Julia finally made up her mind to accept what Santiago offered her. "Yes, I agree to Santiago's offer." Arrow, sitting on the edge of the bed, immediately smiled broadly. He was glad Julia could think realistically. After all, in this day and age, especially since Julia lived in the entertainment world full of competition, various intrigues, and clever strategies had to be carefully considered. If she didn't want to fall behind, Julia indeed had to be willing to make unconventional decisions. "I'm glad you finally made a beneficial decision. I'm sure you'll succeed in achieving what you dream of." Julia nodded in agreement."For heaven's sake. Initially, I was surprised when Santiago

    Spending around 10 hours, Julia and Santiago finally arrived in Hawaii. There, she was immediately taken to Sensei Lanai, A Four Seasons Resort, a place Santiago had prepared for them to spend seven days together. Just a few hours with Santiago, even before officially becoming his exclusive model, Julia received so many premium services. She was even flown in using a private jet. Like a princess, upon arrival at the resort, Julia was greeted by several personal attendants. A presidential suite room with ocean views was prepared for her, and she was then invited to have a massage to relax her muscles after sitting for hours on the plane. Julia also enjoyed a hair spa and jacuzzi. Then, Santiago invited her to have dinner together. "How do you like the warm-up I provided?" Julia smiled. She nodded happily. Who would refuse to be treated like royalty?"Of course. I really enjoyed my journey with you." Santiago also smiled widely. Raising his glass, he invited Julia to toast."To cele

    After hearing the news that there was a patient in critical condition, and one of them even passed away, Bella couldn't help but feel panicked. Moreover, it was clear that the nurse had previously stated that the patient who lost his life was a male. Instantly, Bella remembered Edward's figure. However, she knew that the man intended to save her life. Whether due to miscalculation or otherwise, it seemed that Julia and the man accompanying her had sniffed out Edward's plan. Because of this, they attempted to escape and eventually got involved in a fatal chase, leading to an accident. Afterward, Bella lost consciousness and found herself in the hospital. Since her condition wasn't too severe after the accident, Bella decided to follow wherever Samuel went. Taking big steps, she followed the obstetrician specialist as he moved to another emergency room. "Doctor Samuel." One of the nurses who saw Samuel entering the room called out, inviting the young doctor to come in and see. "Is

    After getting a call from Julia, Edward immediately rushed. Behind the man, Kairos was seen standing waiting."Shouldn't I just go alone?" Edward asked, making sure. He was worried about the repeated threats Julia had directed at him."Letting you go alone? Are you crazy!" Kairos exclaimed, disagreeing. Besides, he had his own calculations. "I'm worried Julia might do something reckless if she knows I'm coming with someone else, especially since you plan to bring the authorities along. For God's sake, Julia could recklessly harm Bella."Kairos sighed. This was what he didn't like about Edward. Apart from being reluctant to take risks, his thinking was also nAaron. Too cowardly and often underestimated things that clearly hadn't been tried. Pathetic!"It's precisely because we both know Julia likes to be reckless and is capable of doing crazy things that I won't let that woman act recklessly. That's why I'm considering all possibilities.""What about Bella?" Edward asked, making sure.

    "What about you? Have you obtained any information about Julia's whereabouts?"Since yesterday, Edward seemed anxious. As soon as he saw Kairos coming to his house this afternoon, he bombarded him with questions.Knowing that Bella had been kidnapped, Kairos took the initiative to search immediately since yesterday. He even mobilized all his men to find Julia's whereabouts."No," Kairos shook his head. "Initially, my people managed to locate where Julia's car was parked. But after further investigation, she was already gone. I think she's smart and deliberately switched vehicles to avoid being tracked. And when we checked her phone's position, Julia was no longer there.""Damn it!" Edward cursed. His jaw clenched. His expression a mix of frustration, anger, and worry. "Bella is really in danger. I'm sure Julia can be reckless."Kairos sighed repeatedly. If scrutinized, his face indicated someone preparing to get angry."From the beginning, you're the one who got Bella into trouble," a

    Bella looked around the room, scanning each item neatly arranged in Samuel's office. Since asked to wait, she sat down and glanced around.From her eyes, Bella noticed various paintings hanging on the walls. On the desk, there were two small frames containing photos of Samuel with his family and another one of him with a woman.Bella smiled. She observed the photo of Samuel embracing the woman warmly. Upon closer inspection, it seemed like this woman was Samuel's girlfriend."It seems Dr. Samuel already has a girlfriend."Bella nodded as she continued to look around. Shortly after, she was startled by the ringing of her phone inside her bag.Quickly, Bella reached for it, checking the screen to see Kairos's name displayed there."Hello, Kairos. What's up?" Bella asked, concerned that he might be calling with something important."Is your examination process finished?"Unconsciously, Bella nodded. The woman replied, "Actually, it is. Right now, I'm waiting for Dr. Samuel who was sudden

    "Doctor Samuel Knight, I entrust Miss Bella Stone to you. Please examine her thoroughly."As usual, today was Kairos's schedule to accompany Bella for her prenatal checkup. Upon meeting Samuel, he deliberately entrusted the woman while he appeared to be preparing to leave for work."Aren't you waiting for her?"Kairos shook his head."I actually want to accompany her. But, today there's an important guest I have to meet in person. That's why I left Bella with you first. Don't worry, my bodyguard will wait outside the hospital."Samuel shook his head. Aware that Kairos was extremely busy, he didn't protest at all."All right then. Be careful. I'll take care of Bella here.""Thank you, cousin. Please inform me if there's anything important or things I need to know. When you're done, ask Bella to wait for a moment."After bidding farewell, Kairos left immediately. Meanwhile, Samuel went back into the room and started his usual task of examining Bella's pregnancy."How are you, Bella?""G

    "Geez, Edward. Why do you look so messed up?"Samuel hurriedly approached, pulling a chair and sitting directly facing Edward.Thirty minutes ago, he had just arrived home feeling exhausted. After taking a shower, Samuel was suddenly contacted. Upon checking, it turned out to be Edward calling."I'm tired, Edward. Let's meet tomorrow," Samuel rejected when he found out Edward wanted to meet. Besides, he felt extremely tired because he had just finished an operation that afternoon."No... you have to meet me now at Bosova, Sam. I need you.""Just call Kairos or Shawn. For God's sake, I need some rest.""Come on, Sam." Edward sounded persistent. "I really need a friend to talk to. You know Kairos won't listen to my stories. He'll just be busy mocking and cursing."Samuel sighed heavily. He felt extremely reluctant to follow through."I beg you, Sam. Just this once."Samuel grumbled. Eventually, he relented and complied with Edward's request to meet. Upon arriving at the bar, he found Ed

    "How long are you going to keep hiding Bella, Kairos? It's been too long."As usual, after work, Samuel and Kairos relaxed first at the coffee shop. They chatted away, and this time, Edward was the topic of discussion.Somehow, almost every day, they talked about Edward. There was always some strange thing that man did, raising questions for both of them."Until that stupid Edward gets smart."Samuel burst into laughter. He immediately shook his head upon hearing Kairos's seemingly careless response.But if this was serious, Edward's fate could be dire. It meant Edward wouldn't meet Bella for a long time."If we're waiting for Edward to get smart, it seems like it'll be a very long time. I guess, even after Bella gives birth, they won't meet. Besides, we both know Edward is slow and a bit stupid."Kairos sighed, nodding in agreement."That's why I'm also puzzled about how to make our friend smarter than before. Besides... Bella isn't interested in meeting, let alone talking to Edward."

    "So, you still haven't found out where Bella Stone is?!"Edward's jaw tightened. His eyes sparkled with anger and frustration as he received the phone call. Just imagine, almost a week of deploying two private detectives to find Bella, yet not one of them could locate her whereabouts.Truly, Edward was almost desperate. Where could Bella be hiding, to the extent that even the people he paid were struggling and couldn't sniff out the position of the woman carrying his child?"We've tried searching. We even met her mother. But it's certain that Bella never came home. Interrogating her friend named Renata Roland, her answer was the same."Edward took a deep breath. Now, he was at a loss as to where else to look for the woman. "Anyway, I don't want to know. At the very least, you should find her whereabouts soon!""Alright, Mr. Edward. We'll continue to search and will update you as soon as possible."Edward didn't respond further. He ended the call abruptly. For a moment, he appeared to

    Regret and guilt continue to haunt Edward. Swearing by anything, if only he had known all this time that Bella was pregnant from their relationship, he would have tried to take responsibility.Unfortunately, in their last meeting, Edward got into a heated argument instead. Instead of defending and listening to what Bella had to say, he accused the beautiful woman of spreading rumors about Julia's affair.No wonder Bella insisted he choose and marry her quickly. It turns out, there was a big reason why Edward should have done that from the beginning.Remembering this, Edward feels ashamed and terribly guilty. Now, he can only lament his fate. He tries his best to find Bella and fix everything."Where do you think is the right place to look for Bella? For God's sake, I don't know where to start."Two days after hearing the news about Bella's pregnancy, Edward again invited his two friends to meet for lunch together.
