All Chapters of Don Cheats, I Quit!: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Two hours ago, in a manor a thousand miles away.Xavier was alone in his study when he opened a surveillance footage one of his men had sent him.It was footage of Alice, the woman who had once sworn she was devoted to him and was pregnant with his child. She was all over a young bodyguard.The bodyguard's hands were all over her voluptuous chest while Alice tilted her head back with sheer pleasure. It was a look he had never seen before.“Mmm... be gentle, don't hurt your son.”“Imagine if Xavier finds out this is what the sweetheart he’s been waiting on for so many years is like. This is how she moves when she’s aroused, haha...” The bodyguard seemed to be mocking Xavier as he planted kisses on her neck.“Too bad for Grace. She had to live like a widow for five years only to end up dead.”“Don’t even mention the name of that woman. It ruins my meal.” Alice frowned in disgust.“She didn’t show me any respect when she was living, and even after she’s dead, she still manages t

“What do you want?” I was shaking all over.“What I want is very simple. You just need to come back with me.”“So you can keep me locked up again?” I mocked him with a glacial look in my eyes, “Keep dreaming.”“I am not keeping you as a prisoner.” His tone suddenly softened and carried a hint of what I sensed as pleading, “I’ll treat you like a queen, better than I have ever treated you. If you come back with me, Annie will be safe.”I turned to Noah.He was being held tightly behind two bodyguards, and he seemed distraught.I knew I had no choice.I was the reason Annie was injured in the first place. I was the reason they kidnapped her.I couldn’t let her die because of me.I took a deep breath and broke free from Xavier’s grip before going toward Noah.The bodyguards tried to stop me, but knew better when I shot them a vicious look.I put a hand out and gently touched the bruised spot at the corner of his lips.Then, I whispered in his ear, making sure that nobody else c

After leaving Annie, I did not return to the manor right away, nor did I seek out Jakob.I was getting worried because my period was twenty days late.At first, I figured it was hormonal since my emotions were all over the place, and I had been losing sleep lately.Now, though, a brazen idea came to my mind.I had the driver take me to a nearby public hospital that was relatively out of the way.After doing a blood test and taking an ultrasound, I waited for a gruelling half an hour that felt like eons.“Congratulations, you're pregnant!” With a smile, the doctor presented me with a report.I felt my blood turn cold.My hand instinctively reached for my stomach. Though it was still flat, I knew that there was a child whose blood ran with mine and Noah’s.Though this was not an ideal time to become pregnant, it also felt like a ray of hope. All my hesitation and fear dissipated when it occurred to me that I was with child.I had to get out. I had to take my child and Annie and

I turned and entered his dressing room, where I carefully examined every inch of the wall.Jakob told me this was where I could find the secret passage leading to the back door. It was a feature they intentionally left behind when reconstructing the manor to serve as an emergency escape.I traced my finger against a bevelled panel and felt it loosen ever so slightly.When I applied pressure, the panel caved in as expected, revealing a narrow entrance. It was only wide enough for one person to pass through at a time.I mustered my courage and went inside. Soon, I arrived at a steel gate which I unlocked with the key. After I followed the passage to the back door, I heaved a sigh of relief. Then, I went back the same path I had come and draped several large coats over the entrance to keep it hidden. I made sure that there would be no signs to tip him off.Now, all I had to do was play the role of a wife who had “forgiven” him.When he woke up, all he remembered was me agreeing to

The wind in the cemetery was chilly and seemed to slice against Xavier’s cheeks.Though he stood gravely before Sam’s tombstone, he was smiling.Soon, he would return to Grace and take her on a honeymoon.By the time the car pulled into the manor, the sun was coming up.He stepped out of the car and swiftly entered the house, into the living room.“Where's the Donna?” he asked one of the housemaids assigned to nightwatch duty.The housemaid hesitated and tried to conceal her panic, “The Donna has been in your room the entire time and never came out…”Xavier had an ominous feeling.“No,” he grunted before rushing toward his room.He went straight to the dressing room and parted the coats out of the way before reaching for a mechanism.There was still a faint scent of Grace’s perfume mingling in the air of the secret passage.It must be Jakob. He was the only one who knew about the secret passage.Ten minutes later, two of his men brought Jakob into the living room.He was h
