*****'Why now?' Hailey held her stomach which was grumbling continuously. Her nose caught so many flavors, she didn't even know what her baby wanted now. Of all the times, why would her cravings increase when she finally thought she was having an upper hand over Kendrick?Now, almost every day, she had to make a fool of herself when those irresistible urges came up. It was so embarrassing, even her self-esteem was plummeting. Kendrick must be basking in her misery— how despicable. He never said no to whatever she wanted to eat, but would make sure he dragged the poor elderly woman to the mansion to check on her. That had continued for many days. Wasn't he supposed to be fed up with that? No, he wasn't. But always hovered around her she could barely breathe. Yet beneath those pathetic eyes, she was sure he was very well taking joy in seeing her in this state. 'Urgh! Hypocrite.' she slammed on the car's horn. 'Yes.' Everything she wanted to eat, he said 'Yes.' that was so embarrassi

Rob was willing to be with her, despite carrying another man's child. If only she wasn't powerless and could fight Kendrick back. "Anything for you." Chloe hugged her back. "You know I hate to see you sad. We have to make sure you don't make any mistakes. If I have told Rob the truth, he might think of giving up on you after so many years together. And we don't want that, right?""Yeah." Hailey sniffled back her tears. "And about your career, you've really come up with a great plan. This Way, he can't get to be around you all the time.""Yeah." Hailey nodded. The door flung open, jolting both of them and Chloe's mother stepped inside with a stern expression. Hailey didn't need to be told the woman had been eavesdropping."Who can't get to be around who?" She narrowed her eyes at Hailey. "We're only discussing stuff, Mum," Chloe defended quickly. "Sister was only—""Yeah, I don't care." The woman waved her hands. "Are you sure you haven't done anything again? Did you only come to

As almost always, Hailey would catch the Butler making secret phone calls while sneaking glances at her when he thought she wasn't looking. Now, she had to return home early. When she finally had another chance to stay off that dungeon. Even though she didn't prefer her parents' company either, it was still better to spend some time anywhere that wasn't that mansion. And Rob knew her history with her parents. No wonder he suggested that. Maybe next time she would pack all her food supplies for the day and of course, make sure with her sister they weren't around. "How would you like some nice meal?" Rob instantly proposed. Hailey opened her mouth, not wanting to believe what he was suddenly suggesting."You don't have to, Rob." She shook her head while trying to mask her fear. "Y–You can drop me off so I can find a taxi home."She didn't want to risk the chance that Kendrick's guards weren't around. Hailey would really love his home-cooked meal. But that meant going to his home. Wha

What was he doing? He should go look for her. His child's life was at stake. The reporters— yes, whoever leaked that news was still out there loose. It wasn't a question that that person very well knew her. She had to be safe.And again, he found himself going after the bodyguards who must have toured half the city already. But he didn't reach his car. He was only on his way to the parking lot when the gates opened. Her car, the very familiar pink car drove in. He strode to her as she came out, the rage now taking over. "Hailey." Kendrick gritted out. "Where did you go? Where are you coming from?" Her eyes darted everywhere but him and he could notice fear in them."W–What do you mean?" "You know what I mean!" That made her flinch. The tone he used. It only brought out more fear in her eyes. And now, he was certain that wherever she went, he wasn't going to like it. She gripped the straps of her bag so tightly her knuckles turned white. Without waiting another second, she made

Hailey couldn't help but smile that at least her baby would inherit great genes. 'Urgh!' what was she thinking? She shook her head quickly. Was she crazy? She was also pretty, her baby must take after her. Maybe the shock from last night hadn't worn off. Yeah. That should be the only reason why she still wasn't herself. And even admiring the devil's face. Or maybe because she had never woken up to find him still in bed before. 'Urgh!' her thoughts were a mess.She pushed down the bedsheet and carefully left the bed, avoiding even the slightest movement. After taking her bath and changing into new clothes, her eyes darted to the bed once more. Kendrick was still sleeping. Good. But that was weird. He didn't appear tired last night. Did he have a long day at work? Well, she couldn't care less. She grabbed her shoes and headed downstairs, where she found the maids gathered around the Butler and conversing in low voices. She wasn't even surprised. They were surely gossiping about he
