Edward just parked his Jeep Mercy G Wagon in the shooting arena's parking lot at Picadelli Shooting Arena. As he entered, he was greeted by Shawn, Samuel, Kairos, and Raphael, who had arrived earlier and were already playing.After being away for a while due to his busy schedule, Edward rejoined his friends today for shooting practice. Besides, he also had some matters to discuss with Samuel immediately."Goodness, Edward. You took forever. I've been bored without a decent opponent all this time."Kairos Maxweel grumbled. Among the five of them, they all shared the same hobbies: horseback riding, archery, and shooting. However, it was Kairos and Edward who had above-average skills in using firearms.Edward himself had a strong interest in shooting sports since he was a child. Moreover, his father, Eduardo Darkwood, fully supported his hobby. He even went as far as enrolling him in Kairos's father's shooting school."There were many things I had to take care of. Besides, you could spar
"What? Pregnant?"Still lying on the patient's bed, Bella shook her head in disbelief. She tried to keep herself composed and calm."Could the doctor have made a mistake in the examination?"Yes, who knows, maybe Doctor Samuel misdiagnosed. Even though Bella had previously engaged in inappropriate activities with Edward, she was sure it wouldn't have led to pregnancy right away.Just imagine, Edward only slept with her once. Even that night's incident happened unintentionally and was over quickly. Or, let's just consider it a passing fancy. So, it seemed absurd to Bella that she could be pregnant."I am very sure that you are pregnant right now."Bella blinked. She seemed awkward, continuously trying to deny what Samuel was telling her."I don't even feel nauseous, vomit, or any of the common symptoms pregnant women experience. My appetite is still very normal."Samuel didn't deny that."Not all pregnant women experience the same symptoms, Bella. In fact, some only start feeling nause
For the past few days, Bella has been having trouble sleeping. Even though Doctor Samuel had agreed to her request to keep her pregnancy status hidden, Bella still feels anxious.Up to this moment, Bella still hasn't suspected that there's a fetus growing in her belly. Let alone being pregnant, the thought of being intimate with a wealthy man has never crossed Bella's mind."You should know, I even had to risk my status as a doctor to help you hide the truth about this pregnancy. You need to remember, Bella. Like it or not, Edward has to take responsibility for what he's done to you. However it may be, you are the biological mother of the baby in your belly."Bella remembers Doctor Samuel's words clearly from the other day at the hospital. The man insisted that Bella should tell Edward the truth about what happened.God. If only Edward were single, Bella wouldn't hesitate to tell him and demand accountability for impregnating her.But what she's experiencing is quite different. Edward
"For God Shake, can't you stay longer?"Edward grumbled in frustration. In their bedroom, as they were about to sleep, he complained to Julia, who had just asked for permission to travel again.Edward thought Julia had intentionally returned early to make up for her long absence. But, who would have thought that now his wife was asking for permission to travel abroad again, citing the need to fulfill her professional work schedule."You've only been back for a week. And now? You're asking for permission to go back to Paris for two months? You're really pushing it."Julia sighed. Rising from her seat, she picked up her tablet from the nightstand. Opening the calendar feature, she then showed it to Edward."I'm not bragging. You can see the schedule Dior has issued. There are workshops, photoshoots, and fashion shows I have to attend for the next month."Edward sighed. His frustration hadn't subsided. He suddenly missed the times when Julia wasn't as famous as she was now. At the beginn
At the outset of his arrival in Paris, Edward admitted that he thoroughly enjoyed every moment he spent with Julia. Like a couple on their honeymoon, they spent a lot of time together.Every day, Julia took Edward around, visiting several romantic places they had visited at the beginning of their marriage to foster intimacy and rekindle their relationship.Edward admitted he was happy. Delighted to be able to enjoy quality time and be affectionate with the woman he loved so much. So happy, in fact, Edward even planned to extend his vacation time.However, the intimacy Edward felt didn't last long. On the sixth day in Paris, Julia received news that the workshop she was supposed to attend the following week was rescheduled to start two days earlier."Don't be mad, Darling. This wasn't my decision."Julia snuggled close to Edward, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. She squeezed his arm while occasionally giving him sweet kisses."You're the one who asked me to take a two-week break
"Are you sure your husband will be okay?"Arron Carter asked with a serious expression, making sure to reassure Julia that what the woman was doing wouldn't cause any trouble or issues later on.Earlier, Julia did ask Edward for permission to attend the pre-workshop held at the convention hall. However, Julia had been done since two in the afternoon. Instead of heading straight back to the hotel, Julia went to have lunch and then joined Aaron to go to the man's apartment."No need to worry. Besides, Edward never stays angry for long. I bet, in a few days, he'll contact me and go back to being sweet as usual."This time, Aaron laughed. He was lying on the bed with Julia, then pulled her into his embrace.Julia and Aaron had been close for a year now. In front of everyone, they appeared like a manager and a model working professionally.Who would have thought that they were in a serious relationship? They often spent time together in bed. Just like now, for example."You're wicked. If y
It's been more than 20 minutes since Edward woke up. Instead of getting up immediately and cleaning himself, he pondered for a moment on the bed.Throughout, so many flashes of events danced in his mind. Moreover, there was one name that had been bothering him since he opened his eyes."Oh God."Edward sighed softly. Bringing his fingers to his lips, he seemed to gently rub the surface repeatedly. Then, before long, he heard himself muttering irritably."Darn it! Why do I keep remembering the other day's incident?"Honestly, since waking up from sleep, for some reason, Edward couldn't stop thinking about Bella. Out of the blue, he recalled the incident at the swimming pool, which accidentally led to him kissing the beautiful woman."No! This is absolutely insane. Besides, yesterday's incident was clearly unintentional."Edward tried to reassure himself repeatedly. But, before the memory of accidentally kissing her could fade, Edward remembered the incident when he was drunk and forced
"Sir, don't you want to answer your phone that's been ringing incessantly?" Edward glanced briefly at his phone, which had been lying on his desk. Despite Axel's reminder for the second time, Edward showed no interest in picking it up, especially knowing that it was Julia who had been calling."Just leave it. Let's finish discussing the construction of the latest mall network in Switzerland first."Axel nodded, not wanting to argue. He refocused on the graph displayed on his boss's laptop screen, providing explanations and calculations to Edward, who was waiting for his report."The top executives of Nebula want this mall we're building to be connected to both the apartment complex and a five-star hotel. And since yesterday, there have been several investors who have submitted offers."Then Axel reached for another folder he had placed on Edward's desk. Opening it, he showed it to his boss."These are all the investors who are valid and have confirmed participation in the tender. You
