Olivia, who was standing behind Ria’s father, played her role well.

Her eyes were filled with fake tears and her lips were trembling with her act while she clutched her mother’s arm.

"I loved Adrian," Olivia whispered to their father in mock distress. "I had never thought that Ria would betray me like this. She was my sister, my best friend."

Adrian's eyes met with Olivia across the wedding hall. She managed to give him a smile that looked weak.

Adrian felt guilty for doing this to her. He had promised Olivia -his Cinderella that he would definitely marry her.

He was at the altar with her sister, her pregnant step-sister. He had been unable to keep that promise to her.

Several guests began to murmur quietly in sympathy or gossip, but Charles Blake narrowed his eyes at Olivia.

He could see through her lies.

He had always known what kind of woman the lady was.

"You are such a pathetic little liar!" Mr Carter snared.

"You even went as far as to baby-trap your sister's man!”

    Adrian staggered down the stairs as he headed towards Ria's room. Olivia trailed behind him, calling out to him, but he didn't listen to her nor stop.Downstairs, Betty sat crouched near Ria’s door. She had been waiting anxiously for Olivia to return, hoping she had managed to calm Adrian down. But the moment she heard Olivia’s shaky voice echoing down the stairs—her heart dropped.She immediately shot to her feet as she heard Olivia's voice calling out to Adrian. She looked up to see Adrian headed toward Ria's door. She immediately tensed. Her gaze moved to Olivia who was trailing behind him. Her hands were clutched around her neck, tears brimming in her eyes. Betty felt her stomach twist as she looked from her brother to Olivia. Something was wrong. Something had gone terribly wrong upstairs. She swallowed hard as she braced herself for her brother. It seemed he wanted to kill all the women in the house. Betty stood at the door, arms widely spread as if to protect the door from Ad

    Olivia immediately noticed the change in Adrian's expression at the mention of the name, “Knight.“ She noticed how his clenched jaw loosened a little and his eyes shifted for a second.She thought calling him Knight had worked. And now she just had to move on to the main plan.She walked further into the room and slowly backed towards the bed, her gaze still fixed on him. Just then, Adrian lifted his gaze and looked at her. Her heart pounded against her chest but she knew she couldn't let go of this opportunity.Adrian watched Olivia seductively back further into the room, but his mind wasn't even in what she was doing—his thoughts were far away back in his childhood and how the way his Cinderella pronounced Knight was different from how Olivia pronounced it just now. “Call me that again,” he said, taking a slow step towards her, his gaze still fixed on her like a predator, he asked her to repeat the name.Olivia batted her eyelids at him, her lips slightly parted as she whispered.

    Adrian sat at a bar downtown, his shoulder slumped, his head bowed. He held a glass with one hand, while several empty bottles were before him. He had lost count of how many drinks he had taken.He slowly raised his head as he tossed another drink into his mouth and down his throat like water. The liquor burned him but it wasn't enough. It wasn't as painful as the hurt he felt in his heart.His mind drifted back to when he had just gotten back from work and heard Betty's statement.“Then Explain this,”She couldn't even explain the damn result! Adrian thought furiously within himself.He remembered the way her eyes had bulged at seeing him, how scared she was as she tried to hide the result from him behind her back. But it was too late—he had seen it. The way her hands trembled when he demanded for the paper.The way he felt his world stop as he read the content of that paper.0.99% match.He's not the father.Why had she gone for a paternity test? What was she trying to confirm?He

  • Unfortunately, I Got Pregnant For My Bully   Chapter 84

    Chapter 84Adrian stormed out of Charles' room, his face was as hard as stone. The rage in him was still visible as his veins pulsed. He walked towards the living room.In the living room, Betty was still cradling Ria protectively in her arms. For some reasons she didn't understand, she felt Adrian went overboard. But why does she feel compassionate towards Ria?She should feel angry. She should feel bitter. This woman fooled them all.Olivia stood nearby watching the way Betty cradled Ria, as if she's scared Ria was going to die. Her eyes darted from Ria to the direction of Charles’ room where Adrian had gone. Immediately she saw Adrian stepping forward, she straightened as her eyes brightened up.She took a step forward as she meant to hold him.“Adrian—”But he didn't stop.He brushed past her without a glance, his eyes were burning with fury and his face was ice cold, making Olivia shiver.She stood frozen—stunned for a second as she watched him head straight toward the front d

    "Explain what?" Adrian's cold, bone-chilling voice rang out, making the trio snap their heads towards his direction.The living room immediately fell silent.Ria shook her head slowly as her gaze landed on his cold eyes. Her fingers holding the result trembled as she couldn't hold back the tears.Her lips quivered like she wanted to say something but the words got caught in her throat.Adrian's gaze narrowed as his eyes fell on the result in Ria's hand."What is that?" He asked, his voice sending shivers down her spine.Ria shook her head as she hid the result behind her. “It's nothing, Adrian,”Adrian exuded a cold aura immediately at her response, creating a cold tension in the room.Ria trembled in fright.Adrian's gaze turned to Betty's, then Olivia and back to Ria before finally dropping on the paper behind her.He walked slowly toward her, prompting Ria to back away.“Don't make me repeat myself, Ria,” Adrian said coldly, stretching out his hand. “Hand it over,”The blood draine

    Ria sat in Mr Charles' room, gently rubbing his hands and watching him breathe softly as he fell asleep. She had barely rested since she and Olivia got back from the hospital.Meanwhile, in the living room, Olivia and Betty sat down, gisting and watching a TV show.Suddenly the doorbell rang, distracting them.“Don't worry, I will get that,” Betty said to Olivia, as she quickly stood up and walked over to check who's at the door.A few moments later, she returned with a big brown envelope in her hand, her brows were slightly furrowed as she glanced at the envelope.“There's a delivery,” she said. “And it says it's for Ria,”Just then Ria, who had stepped out from Mr Charles' room, came forward, wiping her hands with a small towel.“I heard my name,” she said. “Is that for me?” she walked over as she noticed the envelope in Betty's hand.Betty hesitated as she looked at the envelope. “Yes, It says here that it's yours.” But instead of handing it over, Betty stared at it for a moment, s

    Ria sat in the City hospital's waiting room, her back straight, with one hand, resting over her stomach. She hadn’t said much since they arrived. Her eyes moved restlessly from the wall clock to the floor and then to the door. She just wanted it to be over.She didn’t like hospitals—it just reminds her of her mother's death.Beside her, Olivia was unusually calm. She crossed her legs neatly and kept looking around with a slight smile on her face, like she had all the time in the world. Every now and then, Ria would glance at her, as if searching for some reassurance. Olivia would meet her gaze and smile softly, gently nodding—as though to say, ‘You’re doing the right thing.’ That smile made Ria sit back down each time she had the urge to get up and leave.After some time, Olivia quietly stood up with a stretch.“I need to use the restroom,” she said calmly. “I’ll be right back.”Ria nodded, not saying much. Her stomach felt tight.A few minutes after Olivia left, a nurse came through

    Olivia came downstairs to take a cup of water from the kitchen, when she noticed Charles' room light was still on.Had Ria forgotten to turn it off? She pondered, as she knew Ria had retired to bed early. She was about to return upstairs, when a dark thought came into her mind.A sinister smirk curled at her lips as she quietly tiptoed to Charles' room.She peeked in and saw that the room was empty except Charles who laid motionless on the bed.Olivia steps in, shutting the door quietly behind her. She glances around to ensure no one was watching her, then she locks the door.Olivia whispered softly as she walked closer to Charles' bed.“You look awful, Charles. But then again, what should I expect from a man who thought he could stop me?” She walks over to the side of the bed and stares down at him.“You thought telling Adrian the truth would save everything, didn’t you? That if he knew who I really was, he’d turn on me. Tsk. You really underestimated how easy it is to fool men in l

    Betty drew a deep breath and slowly let it out, her gaze meeting Adrian's eyes."How well do you know Ria?"Adrian's brow furrowed as he stared at her. "I don't understand what you mean," he said, a bit confused.Betty sighed heavily. "Have you ever thought Father's fall might not be an accident?”Adrian's face darkened immediately, his brows knitting in irritation. “Are you still at this?”“No, hear me out,” Betty quickly said, her tone urgent, her gaze pinning Adrian to his seat.“When father fell, I saw a shadow behind the pillar of the stairs, but it was fast and I had thought I imagined it,” Betty explained slowly in a low voice.Adrian sat stiffly, not saying anything but his gaze told her to go ahead.Olivia, who had sneakily followed Betty from behind, after seeing her storm into the house and headed straight for Adrian's study, stood outside the slightly opened door, peeking from the small opening. Their voices were low but she could hear them clearly. Her heart hammered in
