“It’s done, come down. “The nurse instructed, handing out an ultrasound form , “Congratulations, you are pregnant, precisely four weeks.”

Olivia took the B-ultrasound form handed over by the round-faced nurse. To Olivia, the little nurse looked like an angel when she smiled.

Olivia has been married to Alexander McBroom for a year now, she knew it was the right time to have his child.

Alexander McBroom was never home, always busy. People said it was a seven-year itch, but she felt the marriage falling apart in just a year.

With this child , Olivia thought the connection between them and the marriage bond would become strong, as it once was.

Olivia put away the receipt happily and left the B-ultrasound room with gratitude.

Many people were coming in and out at the hospital’s entrance. She looked down at the receipt walking out, immersed in joy. Was interrupted when she was about to go down the steps by a soft voice piercing her eardrum unexpectedly.

“Alex, the baby is moving again. He kicked, here.”

Olivia raised her head and stared blankly at her husband and the person opposite, and couldn’t figure out why Penny White’s arm was holding her husband so tightly and asking him to feel her baby bump.

They walked up to meet her.

Next to Olivia stood two best people in her life. One is her dear husband, Alexander, and the other is her best friend, Penny. The picture of them together is dazzling.

When Alexander McBroom faced Olivia’s frustration, his body paused an awkward expression forming on his face.

“Olivia , listen to my explanation, I…”

Penny White exclaimed, covering her stomach with one hand, the other hand was still tightly hooked on Alexander’s arm: “Olivia , I didn’t mean it, I’m sorry. I’m leaving you guys to sort things out”

Penny White turned around ready to enter inside the hospital when Alexander McBroom grabbed her by the waist embracing her into a tight hug.

He said, “Forget it, Penny, tell her.”

Alexander’s tight hug with Penny lasted forever, and he looked at Olivia’s surprised and painful eyes throughout. Her naïve self didn’t get to ask herself why they were there in the first place, it hit her hard.

“Olivia , it’s not Penny’s fault. In fact, the only problem with her is that she’s too pretty.

What we had is no more, Olivia, let’s get a divorce.” Alex blurted out reluctantly taking his arms off Penny.

The word divorce exploded above Olivia’s head, and her mind went blank for a moment.

As if sleeping with her husband and getting pregnant was not enough, Penny had the audacity to ask Olivia to be godmother to her unborn child. She had given it a thought, now it just hurts.

Furious, after realization, she raised her hand ready to slap snake friend, Penny, on the left cheek.

Alexander stopped Olivia’s hand midair, and flames lit in her eyes.

“Olivia , it’s good for everyone if you leave. I hate for you to make things difficult for Penny.”, Alexander roared.

Olivia couldn’t help the sore corners of her eyes, bitter tears rolled out of her eyes crying,

“Alex, we have been in love since college, we worked hard to save money to get married after graduation. Now we have just been married for a year, and you tell me that we are going to divorce?

It is not April Fool’s Day today, so stop joking with me, okay?”

Olivia grabbed his arm tightly. Alex forcefully freed his arm from her grasp.

Olivia couldn’t believe all of this, she loves her husband to death. Olivia had been faithful to him as her girlfriend even before marriage. Husband after marriage, he became her everything from their wedding. She devoted herself to him, ready to spend their entire lives together.

It had been only a year, only a year!

“Alex, talk to me…”,she begged.

She looked at him humbly as he pushed her. Alex’s indifference and cruelty made her feel as if she was in an ice cellar, and she shivered from the cold.

When she was most desperate, she remembered the receipt in her hand. Unfolding the paper hastily, she moaned.

“Alex, you can give up on me, but how can you give up on your child? Didn’t your mother keep urging us to have a child? I’m pregnant, four weeks in… Look…”

She held the receipt out like her only lifeline, a glimpse of hope forming on her hurt heart.

Olivia focused all her hopes on the test results. She was even ready to forgive him.

As long as he doesn’t divorce her, she can pretend that the matter between him and Penny White never happened. She would go to that extent to save her marriage.

Olivia was full of anticipation, but Alex’s eyes widened suddenly, and his voice was distorted: “What? You are pregnant? Four weeks?”

At first, thought he was excited, so she relaxed her tense heart and nodded hurriedly: “Yes, I just found out. Alex… ah…”

She said eagerly, the sudden slap that landed on her cheek shut her up. Alexander McBroom stared at her with bloodshot eyes, like a beast about to swallow her whole, he lost it.

“ Olivia! You bitch! How dare you give me a bastard? I have been home for less than a month. Let alone this month, how many months has it been since I touched you? Uhm!”

Alexander’s roar attracted the attention of countless passers-by. Those gazes were like ice knives stabbing her inside, and Olivia ’s body was growing weaker.

“Alex, what do you mean?”

Covering her face, she looked at Alexander in puzzlement and agitation. She continued.

“On your birthday, I booked a room in The Heritage Hotel. We stayed there after we celebrated your birthday, don’t you remember?”

“Who was sleeping there with you? Olivia , don’t force yourself and your bastard on me. Find someone else to pin it on!

That day Penny said that she had a stomach ache, so I left early.

I came back late. Seeing that you fell asleep, I didn’t wake you up. Tell me, which man did you make that with, Uh!”

Olivia was stunned by Alex’s roar. The B-ultrasound sheet in her hand, now fell to the ground. She involuntarily stroked her flat belly and looked at Alexander in a daze.

Penny White’s sneering voice came to her ears, “There are a lot of losers and escorts in The Heritage Hotel, which one did you find? You need to find out who the child belongs to before it comes out. ”

“The pregnancy is his!” Olivia let out a broken roar, Penny White glanced at her stomach, and said with a sneer:

“Where did you find this child? Olivia… I didn’t expect you to be this kind of woman. It’s unfortunate that you repay Alex’s good heart like this, don’t you think?”

What kind of woman is she? The woman in front of her is her best friend, she and her husband rolled into the same bed behind her back to make her baby and she has the audacity to call her out? She must have deliberately called Alexander McBroom away that night. All of this today was caused by her, Penny White . Olivia felt a bitter spit.

Olivia stared at Penny White fiercely, and the rationality in her mind was completely wiped out by the ridicule on Penny’s bushy eyebrows.

She raised her hand again, wishing she could slap the hell out of the fake bitch in front of her, that was not her best friend. But Penny White saw it coming, carrying her big belly, she hid behind Alex.

Penny said delicately:

“Alex, look at the poor thing, she obviously couldn’t help being lonely, she slept around and now she has the audacity to try striking me!”

“Olivia , enough of you! Get lost, I don’t want to see you ever again. We’re done!”

With a dark face, Alexander grabbed Olivia’s arm and threw her aside as the crowd witnessed.

Olivia staggered two steps, fell directly, and rolled down the steps like a ball. After rolls and hits, she landed on the cold concrete floor.

She felt the piercing pain in her abdomen then spread all over her body in an instant, and she…

This was the first time she felt such kind of pain, felt like a knife was cutting off her flesh and draining her blood drop by drop.

Olivia felt it, life growing inside her suffering. “Oh, my baby.”

She didn’t have the strength to call for help as she struggled, she could only curl up on the ground trembling. Burning tears fell out of her eyes as she tried to stay conscious.

Passers-by quickly gathered around her, but none of them offered to help. They just looked at Alexander McBroom and Penny White and urged them to take her inside the hospital quickly.

Alexander McBroom stood on the steps, looking at her coldly, there was no warmth on his face, only disgust in his eyes.

“It’s a bad seed she is carrying, better to get rid of it.”

These cruel words pierced Olivia’s ears, and seeing Alex’s disgusted and contemptuous face, she couldn’t take it anymore more. She passed out.

When she woke up, she was on a hospital bed. She wasn’t told who had sent her there, only that she had lost her pregnancy. Tears filled with regret fell as her heart ached.

No more, no more…she thought bitterly. It didn’t matter whether the child belonged to Alexander McBroom or some unknown man. She had set up her mind, she was leaving him.

She laid there for three days breathing in the smell of disinfectant and then left the hospital.

The day of discharge from the hospital was gloomy, there were many people outside the hospital, and it was not easy to get a car. She waited for a long time by the side of the road but did not find an empty car.

Just when Olivia was about to drag her painful body to the bus stop at the end of the road, a shiny white car stopped in front of her.

Olivia thought she was blocking its way at first, and hurried to the side, but at this moment the car door opened, and a man in a suit and leather shoes came down and stood in front of her.

“Miss , my boss invites you to get in the car.”

Olivia subconsciously looked behind, there was nobody else there. She stared at the man in black suit. She saw a man behind him looking at her from inside the car.

Me? Nah, Olivia thought about scrutinizing the man.

The man was wearing a white shirt with a slightly open neckline, simple and chic attire. His face held a thin chin, a high nose bridge below slanted straight eyebrows, and a cold starlight on his dark eyelashes.

He held no expression on his face, her eyes met with cold ones. Her eyes narrowed in realization.

A glance more and suddenly felt like she knew this man. And it seemed that she had known him for a long time, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn’t recognize who he was.

“Miss, please.”

The man in front urged with an orderly tone. She looked at the cold face of the man in the car, and felt uneasy for no reason.

“I don’t know your boss, sir. I have something to do, so I’m leaving first. Sorry.”

She didn’t dare to delay, she just wanted to escape from this dangerous aura.

Unexpectedly, after only one step, one hand grabbed her by the collar. She panicked and was about to shout for help, but the bodyguard quickly pulled her over and forced her into the car.

The car door slammed shut behind her, and she bumped head-first into the man in the back seat.

Such unreasonable treatment made her feel lost and furious. Just as she was about to get up, a man’s finger held her chin.

His fingers were slightly cold, just like his current expression, without any warmth. He had a handsome face that angered people, but it was as cold as an ice sculpture.

“ Olivia .”

He opened his thin lips lightly, was startled, and then recalled the flash of familiarity she had before getting in the car, and asked in surprise:

“You know me?”

The man ignored her, just looked at her, and said in a cool tone, “On June 4th, the person in room 108 Heritage Hotel is you, right?”

“…”

That was Olivia’s humiliating day, which sent her to the hospital and destroyed her life.

“What do you mean?”

She stared at the man, her heart trembling with horror. She thought, what did I do?

“There’s only one meaning, don’t you think?.”

He lifted her chin with his fingertip as if he didn’t want to touch her: “I drank too much that day. I was about to go next door to you, but I just walked in when your door was open. I thought you were arranged by a friend, but I just found out … No. I came to you to confirm one thing.”

“Wha…what?”

Olivia ’s brain was stunned by his words, but he still asked mechanically following his words.

In the man’s deep eyes, there was an unreadable gaze “Are you pregnant?”

Thinking of the scene three days ago, her heart trembled: “No.”

“That’s good. It came to my attention last night that I didn’t use protection, I would hate to forsake you if you got pregnant.”

The man answered quickly, and with a wave of his hand, a check was stretched out in front of her: “This is your compensation, and besides, it’s also the cost of buying you.”

“What did you say?”

Olivia thought that there was something wrong with her ears, but the man’s face was calm as if he was talking about a very normal thing:

“I’m going to stay in the city for a while, and I’m quite satisfied with you. You should understand what I mean.”

“Understand what? Am I like you …”

Olivia couldn’t bear it and yelled,

“You want me as your hired …what? Who do you take me for? Better, who do you think you are, you freak! Not only did you defiled me a month ago, now you are back to humiliate me, again? Is there no shame in your devilish self?”

Annoyed, she grabbed the check in his hand, tore it into pieces without even looking at the number, and then threw the pieces in his face:

“You are so…

You sick f… Is this what rich people like you do? Can you buy out about anyone at will just because you have money? Is it your right or something?”

Olivia was so angry, but at the same time, the alarm bell sounded in her head. From his aura to the way he appears, this man might be a big shot and he is definitely bringing hell with him. She had to keep away from him as soon as possible.

She couldn’t wait to escape from his claws before it got more weird. He hardly explained himself, but her confused mind didn’t do much in trying to understand the situation. He should have been glad she didn’t slap him.

Thinking of this, she was too lazy to talk nonsense, turned her head, and opened the car door.

Outside the door, the bodyguard was still standing there. She anticipated being forced back in again, but the bodyguard didn’t stop her from escaping.

Olivia got out of the car, fled quickly, and walked for a long distance. Only relieved after making sure that the car behind was not chasing her.

She just had a miscarriage, and this kind of rush made her stomach hurt like hell. There happened to be a bus stop sign next to her, so she walked over and rested there, holding onto the sign.

Before she could recover, the phone rang.

“Nick, where have you been? I am at your house and Ronnie says to wait for you to explain. What did you do this time? Uh! Forget to make your husband food? “

Olivia’s heart immediately rose to her throat when her mother’s worried voice inquired from the other end. She thought, what am I going to say? I must hurry!

It was Sarah’s voice, she didn’t dare delay. She put away her cell phone, endured the abdominal pain, and paced waiting for the first cab home.

As soon as her foot crossed the door line, a thunderous slap swept over her, hitting her face. Two starry pairs of eyes bore at her reddening face.
