ログインStill shaken by what had happened, Kourtney called a few of her closest friends and asked them to meet her at the beach.Within a short time, they all arrived.The moment they saw her, they noticed how unusually quiet she was."Kourtney," one of them asked, "what's wrong? You've barely said a word since we got here."Kourtney let out a heavy sigh."Girls... I have to admit I'm devastated. I'm still in shock."Her friends exchanged confused glances."What happened?" another friend asked. "Tell us."Kourtney looked down at the sand before speaking."I don't want to lose Kingsley.""What does that have to do with anything?".One of her friends asked.She hesitated for a moment."I... I spilled some liquid on the hallway floor so that Ella would slip and fall."Her friends stared at her in disbelief."I thought if she lost the baby, Kingsley would divorce her.""What?" one of her friends shouted, jumping to her feet. "Kourtney, that's horrible! How could you do something so cruel?"Kourtne
The cars sped toward the hospital at full speed.As soon as the ambulance arrived, Ella was rushed into the emergency unit. The medical team immediately began examining her while the Kingsley family waited anxiously outside.After a thorough examination, the doctor finally stepped out of the ward.Kingsley hurried over to him."Doctor," he asked anxiously, "what's wrong with my wife?"The doctor smiled reassuringly."There's no need to worry, Mr. Kingsley. Your wife is stable, and the baby is safe."Kingsley let out a sigh of relief."However," the doctor continued, "the fall put her under a great deal of stress. We'll prescribe some medications for her, and she must get plenty of bed rest. She should avoid any strenuous activity to ensure she doesn't lose the baby.""I understand, Doctor," Kingsley replied."I'll make sure she gets all the rest she needs."The doctor nodded before walking away, leaving Kingsley standing outside the ward, relieved that both Ella and the baby had survi
Aiden had just returned from Australia.Mathew walked over to him and sighed."Aiden, I'd advise you to stop wasting your time on Ella. After everything you've done for her... after all the love and care you've shown her... even though she knows how deeply you're in love with her, she still went ahead and got pregnant for that useless husband of hers."Aiden said nothing.Instead, he pulled a cigarette from the pack in his pocket, lit it, and took a slow drag. He exhaled a cloud of smoke before letting out a quiet laugh."The Kingsley family has been mistreating my little bunny," he said calmly. "Yet she chooses to stay with them. But I, Aiden, won't let her remain there for much longer."Mathew nodded in agreement."That's exactly what I've been saying, bro. They don't know her worth, and I hate that family for the way they treat her."He paused before adding,"Sometimes... I even get angry at your little bunny for never giving you a chance."Aiden's expression immediately turned ser
Kourtney arrived at the Kingsley mansion and began pacing back and forth in Kingsley's room.Her restless movements soon caught Kingsley's attention.He walked over to her, concern evident on his face."Kourtney, why are you pacing? Is something wrong?"Kourtney bit her lower lip.Should I tell him what I heard? she wondered.If I tell him, this could be my chance. He'll inform Grandpa, Ella's marriage will fall apart, and maybe... just maybe... Kingsley will marry me instead.A smile almost crept onto her face.I'm so lucky.She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't realize Kingsley had called her name again."Kourtney!"She blinked and looked at him."Huh?""What are you thinking about?"She took a deep breath."Kingsley... there's something I need to tell you."He nodded, and the two of them sat on the edge of the bed."What is it?" he asked.Kourtney hesitated for a moment before speaking."Today, I overheard Ella talking to someone."Kingsley's expression became serious."W
Mathew was standing outside one of the shops in the mall when he suddenly caught sight of Ella.His eyes widened in surprise. Her stomach was noticeably swollen, resembling that of a woman who was about four months pregnant.Excitement surged through him. He immediately assumed that Aiden was responsible for the pregnancy.He instinctively reached for his phone, intending to call Aiden and share the news. However, he paused and slipped the phone back into his pocket."No," he muttered to himself. "I need to hear the truth from her first."Determined to find out, Mathew walked toward Ella. As he approached, countless questions raced through his mind. The one he wanted answered most was simple:Who was responsible for the pregnancy?Mathew walked up to Ella, a smile spreading across his face."Hey, Ella. How have you been?"Ella turned and smiled politely."Hi, Mathew. I've been fine."His gaze dropped to her swollen belly, and his smile widened."Oh... you're pregnant.""Yes," Ella rep
Kingsley found his way to one of the rooms in the villa.He sat down at the edge of the bed with his face buried in his palms.The words of his father echoed in his ears “If you insist on marrying the woman you love,I sever all ties with you and you’ll no longer be the heir of this family.I do not want to ever set my eyes on you.”Then came again the words of Ella"You want me to marry you? I can't. I won't. You already have a bride waiting for you."He saw pain in her eyes,he saw jealousy but he can't act on that because she keeps pushing him away.Kingsley stood on his feets,he walked towards the long mirror hung on the wall.He looked into the mirror and saw a reflection of himself.He flickered his fingers across the mirror and said to himself aloud “I’m a man,I have riches,I have emotions and I won't let family dictate for me.I will marry whom I love and also makes sure my family approves this marriage.It is either Ella or no one.”Aiden paced nervously toward the bookshelf as th
“What are you doing here?” Ella whispered sharply as she stared at the callboy. “And why are you even putting on a mask?”The ballroom lights shimmered against the black mask covering half of his face. Around them, the music had faded into nervous murmurs as guests watched the strange scene unfold.
Aiden held Kingsley’s wrist effortlessly, his expression hidden beneath the mask.The entire balcony fell silent.Ella stared at him in shock.The callboy!.What is he doing here?, everything was going through Ella's thought.The tension in the air became suffocating.“What the hell?” Kingsley barke
Aiden carried Ella into his mansion while, across the city, Kingsley searched frantically for her, checking every street with rising panic.Then he spotted a man carrying a woman into a black gate.“That has to be Ella,” he muttered, quickening his pace.Inside the mansion, Aiden lowered Ella onto
I froze so hard that the bucket slipped from my hand and crashed against the marble floor. The loud sound echoed through the massive bedroom like thunder.My husband jerked upright immediately, his eyes widening in shock. His girlfriend quickly grabbed the bedsheet to cover herself, but it was too
