LOGINNancy held Deanna's left shoulder to calm her down. “Shouldn't you check it? Tomorrow I'll go to the market and buy you a test pack. You can check it tomorrow morning, but don't urinate first.”
Deanna just nodded, still unable to believe that she was really pregnant. Was Deanna pregnant? Why did it hurt so much for Deanna?
“I don't want to be pregnant with that man's child. I don't want to!” Deanna screamed in her heart. The woman felt like a rock was hitting her chest when she realized that she had all the symptoms of a pregnant woman.
“Don't be afraid, Deanna. Maybe you're just tired.” Nancy finally left Deanna in the room. “Get a good night's rest, who knows, maybe you're not pregnant after all.”
That night, Deanna couldn't sleep comfortably because she was still overthinking Nancy's words from a few hours ago. The woman couldn't do anything but cry and blame herself for what was happening now.
The next day, Nancy came to Deanna's room after the woman allowed her to enter. The depressed-looking woman took the object from Nancy's hand.
“It's a test pack. You haven't peed this morning, right?” asked Nancy, who had previously warned Deanna. The woman came to Deanna's room at seven in the morning.
“I haven't peed yet.”
“This too.” Nancy handed a small container to Deanna. “Collect your urine in here, then dip the end of the test pack in and wait ten minutes. You'll find out if you're pregnant or not.”
“Can I borrow your cell phone? I want to use the stopwatch so I know if I've dipped the test pack in for ten minutes or not.”
Nancy looked at Deanna for a few seconds with a suspicious expression. “I can't do that. I'll yell when it's been ten minutes. I'll wait in this room until you come out of the bathroom.”
Deanna gave the middle-aged woman a pleading look. “Are you afraid I'll call the police? I won't do that.”
“You will do that. So get in the bathroom and do what I said.”
Deanna sighed softly and entered the bathroom feeling annoyed. She couldn't fool Nancy because the middle-aged woman seemed to have been instructed by Meazus to monitor Deanna's every move.
“Okay, I have to wait ten minutes.” Deanna looked at the end of the test pack that had been dipped into the container of urine. “I pray that the result is negative. I don't want to have a child from that evil man. He might kill my baby and me too.”
Deanna continued to hope that the result of the test pack would be negative, but it turned out to be the opposite.
“Positive?!” Deanna covered her mouth and crouched weakly beside the bathtub, thinking about how her life would be after this. “I'm pregnant. Oh God! I'm pregnant!”
Nancy knocked on the bathroom door because she hadn't heard any sound from inside for more than twenty minutes. “Are you okay, Deanna?”
“I'm fine. I'm okay.”
Deanna opened the bathroom door with her hair slightly disheveled and handed the device to Nancy.
Nancy’s expression changed instantly. “Y-you’re pregnant?”
The woman nodded and quickly grabbed Nancy’s hand. “Can you keep this a secret? I’m begging you.”
“Keep it a secret? Why do you want to keep it a secret?”
“Meazus hates me so much, he must hate the baby in my womb too. So, he will definitely kill us.”
“Don't you want Meazuz to kill you? Why are you afraid of being killed now that you know you're pregnant?”
Deanna touched her still flat stomach. “This child has done nothing wrong. I will survive for this child. So I don't want to die.” Deanna looked at Nancy with a pleading expression. "Don't tell anyone. Let this be our secret."
“Pregnant women need special care. You also need to have an ultrasound to see how the baby is developing, so how long are you going to hide your pregnancy?”
“I don't know. But I want you not to tell anyone in the near future. If it has to come out, let me tell Meazus myself.”
Nancy could only sigh heavily and nod in agreement to Deanna's request. “All right, I'll keep it a secret for now. But sooner or later you have to be honest about your pregnancy. Whether he kills you or not, that's Meazus' decision.”
Deanna walked slowly from the bathroom door to the side of the bed. “When is Meazus coming home?”
“I don't know. We can never guess when Meazus will come home. Why?” asked Nancy, who followed Deanna's footsteps and stood in front of her.
“When he comes home later, I'll tell him I'm pregnant.”
“You won't keep it a secret?”
“No, I'll ask for leniency?”
“Hm?” Nancy sat down next to Deanna. The woman was changing her plans too quickly.
“What kind of leniency?”
“If he doesn't like me and wants to kill me. I'll tell him if I'm pregnant with his baby... I don't know if he'll kill this baby or not, but if he doesn't... can you raise my baby for me?”
Nancy furrowed her eyebrows. “Why do you think that?”
“Meazus wants to kill me. He will kill me when he returns from abroad, I'm sure.”
“I'm sure Alpha Meazuz won't kill you.”
Deanna looked at Nancy, who believed her words wholeheartedly. “I've been working with Meazus for a long time. Selena is not Meazus's biological child,” Nancy continued.
Deanna's eyes widened. “Selena?” "Yes, Selena is Sharena's child with another man. Meazus loved Sharena very much, and when she came to him with a pregnant belly, he helped her. They got married while Sharena was pregnant, and she died after giving birth to Selena. So Selena is not Meazus' biological child. Meazus loved Selena, who was not his own biological child, so why would he want to kill his own biological child?"
Deanna was silent for a moment, then spoke to Nancy. "There is a difference between me and Sharena. Meazuz loved Sharena, so he loved everything about Sharena. But me? Meazuz hated me, and it's possible he hated the baby in my womb too."
“But I'm sure... Meazus might still hate you, but he wouldn't kill his own flesh and blood.”
“Excuse me.”Devon heard a voice coming from outside the door, but he was sure it wasn't Raline's voice. Immediately, he wondered where she was.“Where is she?” Devon asked himself. “Come in.” Devon finally allowed Asina to enter and asked her to put the tray on the nightstand. “You can go.”“Don't you want me to help you—”Devon sat on the bed and shook his head. “I don't need your help at all.”Asina was silent for a few seconds then turned around. She closed the door and walked away angrily toward the elevator. "Why did he reject me? Is he not in a good mood? If Raline is allowed to feed him, then why can't I?"“Asina, can you help me?” asked a middle-aged woman whom Asina often called “mom.” The woman was holding a tray when she ran into her daughter. “You can give this to Ms. Davina. I'm busy with something else.”Asina clicked her tongue because she was also not in a good mood, but she still accepted the request. She took the tray held by her mom and got back on the elevator.“E
“I'm stupid, I'm so stupid.” Raline quickly walked out of the door and really regretted what she had said to Devon a few minutes ago.“Why did I yell at him like that? I shouldn't have said that.” Raline went into her room and threw herself onto her bed. "Argh, I said that because mom is always like that. I'm used to it."Before going to work, Raline had to take care of her sick mother, such as preparing food and giving her medicine. Sometimes her mother had difficulty taking her medicine and asked for food or drinks that actually slowed down the medicine's effectiveness.“I have to prepare myself to be fired.” Raline cursed herself and buried her face in her pillows. “Tomorrow is the day I officially become homeless. What if that man holds a grudge and thinks I'm rude, but when I think about it, I am rude.”Raline removed the pillows from her face and stared at the ceiling. The woman thought critically about why Devon suddenly seemed to hate her.“His expression when he came out of t
“I'm really scared right now.”Raline tried knocking on the door, but he didn't seem to want to answer. Raline tried to make her voice heard so Devon would know it wasn't Davina knocking on the door.“Excuse me, Mr. Devon.”Raline's voice could be heard from outside the door, and the man allowed her to enter. Inside, Devon already knew that it was probably one of the house servants who had come.Devon didn't know anyone here except his immediate family and a few house servants who had been working before he left for England.“Come in.”Raline finally tried to enter and she began to stare at Devon. The man stared at Raline for a long time as if he was trying to remember her face.“I was asked to bring you this food, Mr. Devon.”“Bribe me.”Devon's request made Raline's feet stop leaving the room. The woman turned around and looked at Devon once more to make sure her hearing wasn't wrong.“You want me to feed you, Mr. Devon?”“Yes.”Raline saw that both of Devon's hands seemed to be fin
Raline tried to remember Davina's face and finally recognized the woman. Raline immediately wanted to leave because she was so embarrassed.“Are you the new nanny?” asked Davina, who was still standing in the doorway.“Yeah, I just started working three days ago.”“Are you the new nanny for Devon?”“I'm not sure about that yet because Asina didn't tell me. So far, I've been working in the kitchen. Asina said that I could move to be the new nanny for Meazus's first daughter, who is pregnant.”Davina closed the door from the outside, but she was still standing in front of the closed door. “Sis Selena doesn't live here. I mean, she's moving next month. So you're going to be Devon's new nanny, right?” asked Davina, who seemed to be holding back her laughter.“I think so.”"Then come with me. I'll introduce you to the man you'll be taking care of. Devon is sick, so you have to take care of him for a while until Sis Selena moves into this room," said Davina, walking one step ahead of Raline
“Where's Devon, Mom?” asked Selena, who was now calling Deanna while she was on the road. “I'll be right there.”“Devon is being treated at the same hospital as Daddy. You don't need to come here tonight, Selena. Your health is also very important.”"My husband and I just got back from the minimarket to buy some things. We haven't gotten home yet, Mom. We'll be there soon."“Okay.” Deanna couldn't force Selena anymore because now her mind was all over the place. Deanna's feet walked down the hallway towards the emergency room. Fortunately, the residents who saw Devon took him to the same hospital as Meazus."Excuse me, I'm Devon Lucasio's mother. How is my son?“ Deanna asked a nurse waiting at the main door of the emergency room from behind. ”Can I see him yet?"“The patient named Devon Lucasio has just been treated by the doctor. You can wait after the examination, ma'am.”Deanna nodded after taking a deep breath. The woman felt drained when she heard that Devon had been in an accide
“Wow, this place is huge and luxurious.” Raline looked up to take in her surroundings, which she thought resembled a palace. “Did he get all this from his work as a mobster? Are his kids mobsters too?”Asina continued walking into the mansion and thought all the designs in this place were ordinary, probably because she had seen them for years. “No, just the big boss, I mean just Mr. Meazus.”“His name is Meazus?” asked Raline as she pulled her suitcase.“Yeah, Mr. Meazus Lucasio.”Raline was silent for a moment because she seemed to have heard that last name somewhere, but she couldn't quite remember clearly.“I'll take you to my mom. You have to be interviewed first before you can officially work here.”“But... How old is his son that he needs a private nanny?”“Twenty-five years old.”Raline opened her mouth because she was very surprised to hear the answer from the woman who wasn't looking at her. “Does he have any physical or mental disabilities?”“I heard that none of Meazus' chi
