Let's just say that Edward's current position is extremely difficult. Despite having promised to end his relationship with Julia and marry Bella as soon as possible.

However, Julia's reckless actions from last night made Edward's heart shrink. The threats and pleas from his wife made him hesitate to resolve the current situation.

If Edward insists on divorcing Julia, she threatens to commit suicide. But if he doesn't divorce her soon, Bella will surely be angry and think he's not serious.

Feeling overwhelmed, Edward intentionally ignored the numerous calls and text messages Bella sent him all day.

For whatever reason, Edward's mind was torn apart thinking about his relationship with Bella. Moreover, he also had to focus on completing the pile of work that had been delayed.

And on the way home from the office earlier, Julia made another request. And Edward seemed to have no choice but to comply.

"I will try to forget what happened last night as long as you fulfill my request, Edward."

    This morning, whether she liked it or not, Bella had to participate in the usual breakfast ritual. Yet, she hated having to witness the intimate scenes Julia seemed to purposely show her.For heaven's sake, Bella vowed to find time to talk seriously to Edward. Regardless, she had to ensure what the future of their previously established relationship would be. Moreover, Edward had promised to marry her soon.Luckily, today, luck was on Bella's side. For whatever reason, Julia left for work on her own and earlier than Edward.Making sure Julia was gone, Bella hurried to her room. She waited for a moment until she finally caught sight of Edward passing by her room. Bella quickly went out and pulled him into her room."Bella."Edward was surprised. Blinking, he looked at Bella, who was holding his hands tightly."What's wrong?" Edward asked, making sure."We need to talk, Edward."Edward shook his head. He held onto Bella's arms tightly."Sorry, I'm really busy right now. I have to get re

    "So, you caught Edward having sex with Bella?"In one of the luxury hotels, lying on the bed, Aaron listened as Julia poured her heart out. She passionately expressed whatever was bothering her.Occasionally, her beautiful face would turn into a frown. Sometimes, it would flush with anger at what was happening to her."Just so you know, I even dragged Bella off Edward's body. And I'm sure this isn't the first time they've slept together."Aaron laughed intentionally. Almost mocking the situation Julia was currently in."My suspicions were correct. Edward must be cheating with the woman you hired as a surrogate. Plus, it's a risk living under the same roof. Not to mention, you're rarely home to keep an eye on them.""Yes, I admit this happened because of how often they meet and my weakness in supervising them.""Are you jealous?" Aaron confirmed.Julia immediately scoffed. This time, her face became more relaxed than before."Jealous? Not at all! Like I said before. I couldn't care les

    Bella fell silent. Turning, she gazed sharply at Clara. How could someone she had trusted the most turn out to be a thorn in her side?Bella had even considered Clara as her own sister. Whatever it was, she shared it, she poured her heart out without hiding anything. Now, knowing that Clara was Julia's confidante, it hurt deeply."Why have you never suspected why I always show up unexpectedly when you and Edward are together?" Julia asked. The woman smiled with great satisfaction. "I suddenly came home when Edward was sound asleep in your room. I also disrupted your togetherness when attending the party at Kairos's house. And most recently, I disturbed the intimacy between you and Edward while enjoying your love together. Do you think I just stumbled upon these things, Bella?"Julia laughed loudly and with great satisfaction. Her face was clearly mocking, as if Bella were the dumbest woman alive. Or perhaps Bella had been foolish all along?"Why are you doing this to me, Clara?" Bella

    Around nine o'clock at night, the plane Kairos was on arrived at Heathrow International Airport in London. Finally, the important work he had to do in Italy for nearly a month could be properly completed.Waiting for about 30 to 45 minutes while dealing with paperwork at immigration, Kairos's phone rang. Checking it immediately, he found Samuel's name calling him at that moment."What's up, Samuel Knight? You rarely call me.""Oh, my God, Kairos. Finally, you picked up my call. Where have you been, actually?"Kairos laughed instead. He assumed Samuel called him out of longing. Besides, he had been in Italy for almost three weeks and couldn't be contacted at all."I'm just around, Samuel. Still on the same Earth as you. Where else would I be?""I'm serious!" Samuel exclaimed, clearly irritated. Even though he was serious. But, as usual, Kairos teased him."Relax. No need to get all worked up. You're so much like Raphael. Besides, what's going on? Do you miss me?"Samuel sighed audibly.

    "How? Have you ensured that Mrs. Jessica's condition is safe, right? Keep watch. Don't let anyone dare to touch her. Otherwise, I will finish you all!"Kairos gave the order. In front of him, there was Samuel sitting on the sofa. The young doctor intentionally came to Kairos's house. And now he chose to wait for his cousin who was busy receiving news and giving orders to take care and watch over Bella's mother to keep her safe and undisturbed by anyone.As someone with power, Kairos certainly could do that. Let alone just taking care of Bella's mother, destroying Julia in an instant seemed feasible to Kairos."So, is Bella's mother okay?"Samuel asked to make sure. He was concerned after hearing what was happening to Bella. Samuel thought everything was fine. Who knows if the woman's condition was critical or even endangered her life."Julia has gone too far, Sam. How dare she try to harm Bella. She even attempted to abort the baby in Bella's womb. Just imagine, Julia forced Bella to

    "What? Bella ran away from home?!"Julia shouted angrily. She was furious after receiving news from Clara that Bella was not in her room and was not found anywhere in the house. Confirming that Bella had escaped made Julia furious."Why are you so careless, Clara? I paid you well to take care of and watch over Bella. But now what? That slut has escaped from my house. If this continues, I can't ensure whether the baby in her womb is alive or not!"Clara felt uneasy seeing Julia so consumed by anger. Although last night she made sure that Bella was asleep. She never expected the woman to act so recklessly. Moreover, after taking the abortion pills, Bella's condition should have been weak and unstable.However, when she went to Bella's room this morning, Clara did not find the woman there. She deliberately checked the CCTV and saw Bella's movements and what she was doing, it could be concluded that she deliberately ran away from home."I apologize, Madam. I admit that I have truly neglec

    Kairos reassures Bella that her mother is safe and being protected by his men to prevent any harm. Bella feels relieved and grateful for Kairos's help. She asks if she can contact her mother immediately."Of course, Bella. I never restrict or forbid you from contacting your mother. You can even meet her if you want. I can escort you and accompany you. Or do you want me to bring your mother here?"Bella shakes her head, declining Kairos's offer. Even though Kairos is serious about his offer, Bella feels pity seeing her visibly worried and fearful. Perhaps meeting her mother directly could ease her worries."No... it's not necessary, Kairos. I can't meet my mother directly."Kairos furrows his brows, confused."Why not?"Bella takes a moment to inhale deeply before answering his question to satisfy Kairos's curiosity."My mother would be shocked or maybe hurt if she sees me pregnant like this. She thinks I'm working far away, so it's not possible to meet directly."Kairos nods understan

    "I think I should immediately find out where Bella is."After getting dressed and ready for work, Edward, who was still sitting on the couch, spoke to Julia, who was busy applying makeup to her face.The beautiful woman immediately turned. Then she stared at Edward while shaking her head repeatedly. It was as if she was signaling for Edward not to do what he had just said."No need, dear," Julia said.Edward looked confused. Why was Julia stopping him from searching? After all, Bella had clearly run away, carrying a baby in her belly, which incidentally was the result of IVF using Edward and Julia's genes.Was it because Julia was still angry with Bella for what had happened before? Or---"No," Julia shook her head. "What I mean is, you don't need to search anymore. I've already instructed someone to find Bella's whereabouts. So, you don't have to bother spending money to pay someone to find that cursed woman!"Edward nodded in understanding. It seemed his wife had already deployed pe

    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.
