Elena Beaumont’s POV“Do you feel uncomfortable around your belly, Ma’am?” Stella—one of the female employees who were in charge of my wardrobe—approached me with other maternity gowns on her arm.I shook my head so that she could go. “No, I’m fine,” I replied.Those three girls suddenly whispered to each other behind my back.“But she doesn’t seem to be fine,” said one of them, Sophia. The other nodded in agreement.“Right, should we call Doctor Petra, then?” Lidya suggested.The moment I heard those girls had acted without my permission, I quickly raised my voice and startled them.“Don’t call the doctor!” I snapped, losing my patience already. “I said I am fine! Can we just finish up here? Lidya, you said you wanted to do my hair, didn't you? Then do it now!”“Yes, Madame,” Lidya stammered, flinching as she approached me.‘Gosh, they almost put me in a dangerous situation!’ I growled inside. I just realized that in this mansion, I couldn’t really lower my guard for even a second. T

Elena Beaumont’s POVHer hand stretched out to reach for my phone. “Unknown number,” she said, looking at the screen. “Should I just block it? This might be one of those numbers that bastard keeps using to call you…”“No,” I shook my head. “Give me that. Let me answer it.”Daniela was right. Unknown number. I really had a bad feeling about it. But ever since I got married to Jake and became his wife, every single moment could be a clue. This might be Jake’s number since I still don’t have his private number even now.“Hello?” I answered the call. I glanced at Daniela who kept mouthing, ‘Who’s that!? Who’s that!?’—eagerly waiting to see who was calling me.“Is this Elena Beaumont we are speaking with?”“That's correct,” I replied. It seemed to be a young man. The voice was very familiar. Where had I heard it before? I forgot where I had met this person—“This is Godrick Harold speaking.”My phone slipped from my fingers."Hello?" That young man kept calling out to me. I didn’t know who

Elena Beaumont’s POV"Sir."Gilbert suddenly stepped forward, blocking his arm.Before Jake tried to snap Godrick's hand away from me, his assistant stood firmly between them."Please, refrain from hurting your grandfather. He just finished his heart surgery," Gilbert snapped.A heavy, sharp breath escaped from his strained lips. He yanked the neck of his tie; his jaw clenched at the sight of his grandfather.His gaze shifted fast to me. "Are you okay?" he murmured gently, his thumb brushing the edge of my lips."I told you to wait for me in our house. You are pregnant; you shouldn’t be exhausting yourself.""Y-Yeah," I stammered, unable to move my jaw properly. "I-I'm okay. I'm sorry... I shouldn’t have left without asking..."“What’s wrong if your grandfather wants to see his great-grandchild for a moment?” Godrick’s voice rose. Jake didn't welcome his old man’s response as warmly as before. His hand suddenly wrapped around my waist and pulled me out of Godrick’s bedroom."Amala."J

Gabriel Beresford’s POV"We broke up," I snapped, brushed off the fact that we were just in the same car before, and had a serious fight.I grasped Elena's hand, locked my fingers around her small wrist. "Listen, it's about my uncle. You will regret it if you don't listen to me. You barely know anything about him, right? I bet you don't. As if you two were close to each other.""You bastard—" Elena tried to slap my hand right away, but I moved faster to drag her into my car.My hand moved fast; I needed to make sure my cabin was clear of Catherine's stuff. Before Elena stepped inside, I grabbed her leftover bra from my car's seat and threw it out."Gabriel! I don't want to hear anything from you!" she yelled, completely out of her mind. "How dare you imply that I knew nothing about my husband? I love him! If you can cheat on me with that slut behind my back, then why can’t I? You are not the only one who can have an affair here!”'Oh, wow. She is truly a terrible liar,' I muttered to

Gabriel Beresford’s POV"You are late."Daniela walked down the stairs, just shrugged. She reached her hand out to my car's dashboard, grabbed a pack of cigarettes that I left there. That girl looked completely indifferent to the whole mess that just happened, in contrast to the fact that I still gasped for air, clutching my stomach where that bastard masked man dared to kick me.Daniela didn’t spare a single glance at me, completely enjoying my cigarette."Then again, you kept ignoring my warnings," she muttered, blowing out the smoke. "I told you to play it easy. Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to make her come here? I went all the way here, and you messed it up.""Where were you when those men dragged her off?" I hissed, snatching back my cigarette. "I didn’t pay you just to sit back and enjoy the fucking moment."That damn girl just shrugged again. She tapped the car’s window, curled into a smile in front of the empty seat where Elena had been just moments ago.“Man, y
