“What if in the end, I don’t want to divorce you!”
Felicia shook her head, then rubbed her forehead slowly. This was not right. Edward’s words yesterday were ringing in Felicia’s head right now.
All this time the girl knew where she stood. She knew what to do and what not to do while being Edward’s wife, and Felicia had never expected more.
“Instead of daydreaming, you’d better help me with this project,” Diana said, carrying a stack of papers. Felicia was astonished.
“I’m already busy enough with my own work. How can you add to my life with this annoying pile of papers!” she protested.
“If you’re busy, you won’t have time to smile to yourself,” Diana said.
Smile to yourself. Really? Felicia didn’t realize that at all. Was it because she was thinking about Edward. In the three years of their secret marriage, it seemed that Felicia had never behaved like this.
“Oh no, I seem to have forgotten something. Don’t tell me you’re in love. Oh my God, this is great. Come on, tell me who it is!” Diana asked half-insistently.
“I can’t fall in love with anyone, Diana. I’m married,” Felicia said casually.
“Oyah, you’re good at bragging. Who is your husband?”
“Mr. Edward Collin,” Felicia replied casually.
Diana pouted, and pointed a middle finger at Felicia.
“If you’re Mr. Edward’s wife, then I’m his lover,” Diana said.
Felicia shrugged and said, “Whatever if you don’t believe me.”
Even the whole world might not have believed that Felicia was Edward’s wife if Edward himself had not admitted it. But certainly, if that had happened then Felicia would have been the center of attention in the news media.
But suddenly, something strange happened. Felicia, who initially felt fine, suddenly felt dizzy in her head. She held her head in pain as her vision began to blur.
“Why is my head so dizzy,” Felicia said quietly.
Diana realized something strange was happening to Felicia. She quickly tapped Felicia on the shoulder and asked, “Fel, are you okay? You look terrible.”
“I’m fine, Diana. Really,” Felicia replied. That was Felicia’s attitude, she always didn’t want to make the people around her worry. But this time, Felicia couldn’t lie anymore.
Because after Felicia said she was fine. Her vision became even more blurry. Her vision turned dark, until she finally fell down, accompanied by the sound of Diana screaming in panic because of her situation.
“Are you awake?” The question came from the male doctor beside Felicia.
Felicia had just opened her eyes after fainting in her office a few moments ago.
“Who brought me here, Doctor?” Felicia asked.
“Your friend Diana. She brought you here, but left in a hurry because she had some business to attend to. But... she asked me to call her when you regained consciousness,” the doctor explained.
Felicia understood that Diana had a lot of work to do. That’s why she had to leave in a hurry. But really, Diana didn’t mean to intentionally leave Felicia behind.
“You should rest more, and take care of your current condition. A young pregnant woman’s health is very sensitive,” the doctor said again.
Felicia opened her eyes wide with her mouth agape after hearing the doctor’s explanation. A young pregnant woman? Who is a young pregnant woman anyway.
“What did you say, doctor? Young pregnant? But... who?” Felicia didn’t understand, or was just trying to escape reality.
“Of course you are. You’re about 7 or 8 weeks pregnant right now,” the doctor said.
By God, Felicia could face all the cruelties of the world on her own. But for now, getting pregnant was not a wise choice.
“You don’t have a good look on your face. Is there a problem? You have a husband, don’t you?” the doctor asked.
Felicia took a moment to compose herself. For her, this was a surprise. One of the things she had to avoid in this marriage was not to have feelings, and not to get pregnant. But it seemed that Felicia had violated both. She was now pregnant and... probably also had feelings for Edward.
“Yes... I have a husband,” Felicia replied then.
“Ohh, that’s good. A child should grow up in a good environment. Tell your husband to pay extra attention,” the Doctor ordered.
This was probably the first time Felicia had actually admitted that she had a husband. Usually, she would just joke about it with her friends.
“But what would Edward do if he knew about this pregnancy. Would he accept it, or would he... kill her,” Felicia thought.
For some reason, Felicia wasn’t sure. Even though Edward had said that he might not want a divorce from Felicia. It didn’t feel like love. Edward probably just thought that he still needed Felicia for now. But what would happen afterward?
“No... I won’t let the child in my womb die. I will tell Edward about this pregnancy once I am sure enough. If he doesn’t want this child, then I will raise it by myself.
Just when her mind was in turmoil, Felicia received a phone call from her husband. It was a pretty good chemistry. It seemed that whenever Felicia thought about Edward, he would immediately call her.
“Are you busy?” asked Edwrard as Felicia picked up the phone.
“Yes... quite. Mr. Steve gave me a lot of assignments after I managed to impress you during the presentation yesterday,” Felicia replied confidently. She even lied and didn’t mention the hospital at all.
“Really?” replied Edward.
“Of course. That’s why, as a good husband, you should make it easier for me to get a promotion in the office,” Felicia said again.
“You know yourself, I don’t like nepotism, dear.”
“Can you make an exception?”
“Uhmm... well, that depends on how good you are at teasing me. But...forget about that for now. Tonight, I want to take you out.”
Felicia frowned,
“Go?”
“Yes... go to the Blue Moon Hotel tonight,” Edward ordered.
“Wow, finally, you have the courage to expose the existence of your secret wife,”
“Remember one thing, Felicia. I have never wanted our relationship to be exposed by the media.”
Felicia had almost forgotten one thing. In reality it was true, she was the one who gave Edward the condition that his name not be exposed by the media. Because for Felicia, the less people knew, the better.
It seems that things are different now. Perhaps it would be better for Edward to make their relationship public to the world. Or would Felicia dare to ask Edward for that. “Well, I look forward to the day when the whole world knows that I am the wife of a billionaire,” Felicia said.Her tone may have sounded like a joke. But deep in her heart, it was possible that Felicia really wanted to tell the whole world that she was the wife of Mr. Edward. “Then hang in there for a while longer,” Edward replied. Felicia smiled before finally replying, “Okay,” “Alright, I’ll see you at Blue Moon tonight.” The phone call was cut off just like that. Unconsciously Felicia was still smiling while looking at her cell phone. Imagining Edward’s face as well as his request to stay for a little while longer, seemed to give the girl a new hope. Would Edward finally admit their relationship status to the world. As it was, Felicia couldn’t imagine what kind of happiness she would get.“You must maintain
Tonight everything seemed so beautiful to Felicia. The sky was clear, and even the city air, which was usually so hot, was soothing tonight. It was like she was living a life of perfection. No one would have thought that this perfect day would turn out to be the worst day for Felicia.A faint smile appeared on her sexy red lips. She looked back at Edward so casually.The expression on Felicia's face was completely unexpected for Edward. And to be honest, this was not what the man had in mind. It was also not the expression Edward wanted at the moment."If you want a divorce, just get a divorce," Felicia replied so casually. As if what they were discussing really didn't matter."You seem to understand your position quite well. Or have you been waiting for this moment?" Edward asked later."I don't think so. But, sooner or later, it has to happen. Don't worry, the most powerful cure for a broken heart is wealth. So, make sure you give me enough assets and pay me enough to enjoy my old a
"Hatciuh!" Felicia rubbed her nose, which was so itchy right now. For the umpteenth time, the woman sneezed. Ever since before Felicia went to bed last night, she had felt a bad feeling in her body. Not only did she have the flu, but her head also felt very heavy. Apparently, she was affected by the heavy rain last night."Aaah, I don't understand. Why did I have to do a rain dance ritual drama last night. I'm not a Hollywood actress," she said to herself.Felicia's cell phone suddenly rang. There was an incoming call from Vilia. The woman took a deep breath, then sighed wearily. It was almost noon, and Felicia had forgotten to call someone at the office. They must be wondering about her situation today, or why she was absent without explanation."Hello.""Felicia, what's wrong with you!" shouted Vilia as soon as she heard Felicia's voice.And of course, the sound of Vilia's shout had so startled Felicia that she had to put the phone away from her ear for a while."Could you please sp
"No, sir. Please forgive me. I was framed, I was loyal to you all along, sir." A man was kneeling right in front of Edward.Edward sat with his feet on a swivel chair. Several men and confidants stood beside him. Witnessing how someone in a desperate situation, could only plead with the man."Jack, tell me what evidence of treason this man has committed," Edward ordered one of his subordinates, while smoking the cigarette tucked between his fingers.The man named Jack, smiled. He didn't even need a note to tell the cunning of one of Edward's men who had been caught red-handed."Of course. Mr. Gery has been embezzling employee salaries for the past three years, adding unspecified financing to several projects, falsifying financial data, harassing female employees in the office, as well as selling various important secrets of the Atlanta company to other competing companies," said the man named Jack loudly.The man named Gery was still kneeling with a feeling of anxiety and was so surpr
Rick, Vilia and Sharon entered Felicia's house with both enthusiasm and confusion. It was clear that the house they were admiring was not an ordinary house. Everything looks luxurious and classy."Felicia, do you come from a conglomerate. Or perhaps, you come from a noble family. It's strange that your house is so nice and luxurious. But you're working for a small company like Escape," Sharon said suddenly."What noble family? I got all this from being someone's pet," Felicia thought.Vilia narrowed her eyes, looking intently at Felicia."Perhaps, you're the second wife or mistress of a tycoon!" guessed Vilia idly.It was like Vilia had read Felicia's mind. Only, this time her guess wasn't quite right. Felicia had never been second, in fact, she would probably be the only one. "Almost right! I am the mistress of Mr. Edward Collin," Felicia replied casually.And of course, no one believed a word she said. Everyone always thought that what Felicia said was a lie or a joke. But no matte
Felicia returned to the house. She found Sharon and Rick with sour faces. It was a sign that they had tasted Vilia's cooking.However, Felicia's arrival caught the attention of her three friends. Their eyes were drawn to the beautiful bouquet of flowers the girl was holding."Wow, it's beautiful," Sharon murmured."Yes, it's very pretty and looks... expensive. Tell me, which businessman sent those flowers?" asked Vilia.Everyone seemed to have forgotten about Vilia's cooking that could kill people because of the flowers brought by Felicia."It's beautiful, of course, who else but Mr. Edward would have sent it," Felicia said casually.But, of course. Everyone assumed that Felicia's answer was a joke, even though the girl had been completely honest all along."I'm sorry about Felicia's impossible-to-realize dream," Rick said, responding to Felicia's answer."I think Felicia should start looking for a partner before she goes completely insane from obsessing over Mr. Edward," said Vilia.
"This is a golden opportunity for us! Are you sure you're going to pass up a good opportunity like this?" a man said to Diego.Diego turned his gaze in the other direction because he was too lazy to listen to a man he had called Uncle for years."Are you listening to me? Are you starting to argue with me now? All those years studying abroad didn't make you any smarter. You've just lost respect for me. I've been desperately defending you in front of your family all this time," the man said at length.Diego took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a moment, then turned around, looking at Mr. Jimmy. Diego's uncle and Edward's uncle, of course."But that opportunity you spoke of, it's not the opportunity I wanted at all," Diego argued lamely."Then what kind of chance do you want? Are you going to wait until you're as smart or lucky as that son of a bitch?" said Mr. Jimmy fiercely."This sounds painful. But you have to accept the truth. Luck alone is not enough to defeat Edward. We must ha
And Diego's words were no joke. In the afternoon, in front of the Escape Office, a luxury car was parked that made some people chuckle. A man with a simple casual style was leaning against the body of the car while playing with his cell phone. And his presence really caught people's attention."Oh my, who is that handsome man. Why does that man's face look familiar?" muttered Vilia.Felicia and some of her coworkers had just left the office. Felicia herself was walking while playing with her cell phone. And guess who was exchanging messages with her right now."I'm in front of your office right now!"Felicia stopped walking as soon as she read the message on her cell phone. She raised her head and immediately found a dazzling sight on the other side."Felicia, did you see that? That guy is so cool. But... I feel like I've seen him before, where is he? He looks so much like someone," Vilia said to Felicia.Diego stopped playing with his phone. He then turned his attention to the girls
