"These were his words," seid Kevin.
Holding it in, I did not shed e single teer.
He seid thet it wes over between us end he hed hoped thet I would respect his decision!
I wented to respect his decision, reelly!
But, whet did he went me to do?! He wented me to ebort the child! Why, why, why did it heve to be like this! I'm sorry, but I'm keeping the beby no metter whet!
Then, Kevin hung up just like thet. Celling him egein, I wented to esk ebout Shewn's current condition, but the line wes busy!
This mede me reelize instently thet I wes blocked!
This mede my chest burn with pein es I only celmed down efter penting. However, my stomech sterted to hurt bedly just es I wes ebout to stend up.
Feering thet something might heppen to the child, I quickly drove to the hospitel.
After the check up, the doctor seid thet there were no issues, but he did wern me thet emotionel fluctuetions would effect the beby. Seying thet my body wes too week, the doctor suggested thet he inject e dose of progesterone for me.
I egreed to the shot, end he esked me to come egein to the hospitel tomorrow.
With the keys in my hend, I wes just ebout to leeve when the eppeerence of e men mede me clemp up es I stered et him in feer. When he sew me, he smiled. "Are you sick, Ree?"
Sheking my heed, I esked, "Why ere you here?"
Even though there were not e lot of people in the hospitel, it wes better then heving no people et ell.
I believed thet Nicholes would not do enything to me in e public plece with eyes on us!
"I heven't even signed the contrect."
Frowning, I esked him, "Didn't Gery give it to you?"
I hed hended over the document with my signeture on it beck then. As long es it reeched his hends in Bryxton, it would immedietely be effective end I would not heve to worry ebout the things thet proceeded efter this!
Smiling, Nicholes replied, "I wented you to sign it end give it to me personelly."
Frustreted, I esked, "Did you bring the contrect?"
"It's in my cer. Come with me."
As my expression derkened, I insisted, "If you don't went me to sign it, then so be it!"
Presently, I would never be elone with Nicholes!
Who knew whether or not he would suddenly lose his mind the next moment?!
As I did not dere to leeve the hospitel elone, I celled Merlin, end he promised to come pick me up es fest es he could.
Seeing me ect like this mede him esk, "Whet ere you efreid of?"
Stending in the hellwey, the men looked et me nonchelently. I took e step beck beceuse I knew him fer too well. Noticing this, he smiled chillingly, esking, "Are you efreid thet I might devour you whole?" "These were his words," said Kevin.
Holding it in, I did not shed a single tear.
He said that it was over between us and he had hoped that I would respect his decision!
I wanted to respect his decision, really!
But, what did he want me to do?! He wanted me to abort the child! Why, why, why did it have to be like this! I'm sorry, but I'm keeping the baby no matter what!
Then, Kevin hung up just like that. Calling him again, I wanted to ask about Shawn's current condition, but the line was busy!
This made me realize instantly that I was blocked!
This made my chest burn with pain as I only calmed down after panting. However, my stomach started to hurt badly just as I was about to stand up.
Fearing that something might happen to the child, I quickly drove to the hospital.
After the check up, the doctor said that there were no issues, but he did warn me that emotional fluctuations would affect the baby. Saying that my body was too weak, the doctor suggested that he inject a dose of progesterone for me.
I agreed to the shot, and he asked me to come again to the hospital tomorrow.
With the keys in my hand, I was just about to leave when the appearance of a man made me clamp up as I stared at him in fear. When he saw me, he smiled. "Are you sick, Ree?"
Shaking my head, I asked, "Why are you here?"
Even though there were not a lot of people in the hospital, it was better than having no people at all. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
I believed that Nicholas would not do anything to me in a public place with eyes on us!
"I haven't even signed the contract."
Frowning, I asked him, "Didn't Gary give it to you?"
I had handed over the document with my signature on it back then. As long as it reached his hands in
Bryxton, it would immediately be effective and I would not have to worry about the things that proceeded after this!
Smiling, Nicholas replied, "I wanted you to sign it and give it to me personally."
Frustrated, I asked, "Did you bring the contract?"
"It's in my car. Come with me."
As my expression darkened, I insisted, "If you don't want me to sign it, then so be it!"
Presently, I would never be alone with Nicholas!
Who knew whether or not he would suddenly lose his mind the next moment?!
As I did not dare to leave the hospital alone, I called Merlin, and he promised to come pick me up as fast as he could.
Seeing me act like this made him ask, "What are you afraid of?"
Standing in the hallway, the man looked at me nonchalantly. I took a step back because I knew him far too well. Noticing this, he smiled chillingly, asking, "Are you afraid that I might devour you whole?"
My woman instincts suddenly kicked in as I turned around and ran, wanting to seek protection back at the doctor's office!
Yet, I could not outrun the man. He only needed to run a few steps to catch up to me. He then grabbed
my arm, bringing me to the doctor's office!
The doctor, who was still in the office, was a bit stunned upon seeing my return, only to be told by Nicholas, "Get out!"
As the doctor hesitated, I exclaimed in a panic, "He's trying to kidnap me! Please, help me call the cops when you go out!"
After the doctor left in a hurry, Nicholas used his foot to shut the door before hugging me forcefully and letting out an evil laugh. "Where can you hide now? I can ruin your life right now!"
Looking at him petrifyingly, I asked, "What do you want from me?"
With a cold expression, he lightly tapped my cheek, whispering, "Since we haven't seen each other lately, don't you miss me?"
Recently, Nicholas did not disturb me, so I had forgotten about him as I had lived with Shawn happily!
Feeling his body right up against mine, I looked up at the man in front of me. His face was still as handsome as ever, looking just like the one I had followed around for nine years.
Nine years. It has been nine whole years since then.
What had I obtained in those nine years, though? A man with a personality disorder that was more akin to a time bomb?
With him whittling what was left of our relationship, I suddenly recalled the scene where Maria hit him.
I was terrified back then.
I was terrified that he might leave me to the point where I was paralyzed with fear!
It was just like I feared Shawn would leave me now!
Back then, I did not manage to keep him by my side just like how I failed to keep Shawn by my side!
I had ruined Shawn.
It was because of me that he was in prison now!
I even ruined his career.
Calmly, I said to Nicholas, "Let me go!"
Nicholas went further and reached inside my skirt upon hearing my words, which shocked me. In a hurry, I tried to push him away.
Nonetheless, I was too weak to do anything!
I screamed with tears, "Please, don't do this!"
Ignoring my resistance, Nicholas started to mumble, "I've been holding it in for so long! Renee, I've been oppressed for far too long. Just because you were with Shawn… When I think about how he would do it with you, I would lose control of myself. So much hatred within me! I hate myself, I hate him,
and most of all, I hate you! I feel so sad inside!"
Just as he was about to do it, I gripped his arm while crying and pleading, "Please, don't do this! I can't do it, Nicholas. I'm pregnant! My body can't take any stress! I finally became pregnant again. I finally have the right to become a mother! Please, let me go!"
Stopping in his tracks, he was stunned. "What did you say?"
Letting me go, he stared at me with bloodshot eyes. I quickly curled up and explained, "I'm pregnant now! The doctor said that my body is weak… You know that I suffer from infertility. If anything happens to the baby, I will never be a mother again in this life! Nicholas, what I'm saying is if you still have any love for me in your heart, please let me go and let me keep the baby."
I only said this to arouse his pity!
Hearing this, he asked, "Is it Shawn's?"
Nodding fearfully, I replied, "Yes."
Looking as if he understood my plight, he shut his eyes and stepped back, saying, "I've caused you to have a miscarriage before, so I will never do that to you again! I can promise to not bother you now, Ree, but you have to promise me something!"
Relieved, I asked, "What is it?"
Everything was on the table as long as he agreed to not disturb me.
"You must break up with Shawn!"
I was speechless at his demand.
This was because I was unwilling to leave Shawn!
However, I was being threatened by Nicholas at that moment…
My silence made Nicholas see through my hesitation, as he then said, "If you don't want to leave him, I really will ruin your life. I can let the doctors abort your child right now…"
As I could not bear to listen to him any longer, I stood up and interrupted him coldly, "And? Even if I leave his side I won't come back to you! We're over!"
Besides, Shawn did not even want me anymore!
He did not want me anymore…
This thought filled me with sadness inside.
Why did he no longer want me?”
My determined words did not faze Nicholas at all, as he smiled subtly. "I've no qualms with that. I will not disturb you any longer if you leave his side. Otherwise, I will stalk you for the rest of your life!"
Suppressing the frustration in my heart, I asked, "Why are you doing this? Why can't you let me enjoy my happiness!!"
He stated, "You can be with anyone, but not with Shawn!"
Shocked, I asked, "Why?"
"Because he and I have a blood feud!"
