Before I run my fingers across the books, I notice that there is a notebook specially kept. This notebook has a leather cover and looks different from other items in this room. I do not know why, but I can sense that it is a precious thing for its owner and it is well-kept.
I really want to open it. Maybe because I am a human, a curious human. But my fear controls me not to open the notebook. Otherwise, I will be killed by Mr. Barnett, the owner of the notebook.I take a deep breath and carefully move the notebook away from the book I want to pick. But to my surprise, something falls out of the notebook and drops onto the floor. I bend over to pick it up. It is a photo. I close my eyes subconsciously hoping that not seeing it carefully can save my life. My heart jumps rapidly. A voice in my heart tells me that I should not stay in this room and continue reading the notebook anymore, but I still need to open my eyes to walk out anyway.I open my eyes wide in fear and put the photo back into the notebook carefully....Two hours later, I walked out of the study. Amy lets out a sigh of relief. "Look, I have told you that Mr. Barnett would not be back so soon, right?"I feel complicated. It seems that I have found his secret. Now I really hope that I did not go into his study or open his notebook."Amy, is there a monitor in his study?"Amy says, "There is one outside the study." My face gets pale immediately. "Then he will definitely know that I have been to his Study."Amy comforts me, "After he comes back, you take the initiative and tell him about it. I have checked the time. You have only used it for two hours and they are all for your homework. He should not be angry."Suddenly, my phone rings. I pick up the phone and see a message from my teacher. She has praised me for my paper. Her compliment eliminates my panic. I tell myself that I was not using his study deliberately and in terms of his secret, it was only an accident.When he comes back, if I explain to him, he will not be angry. Maybe...After all, I have agreed to divorce with him. After the divorce, we will not meet again. No matter how many secrets he has, it is none of my business.After lunch, I go back to my room and close the door. I sit in front of the dressing mirror and lower my head to look at my belly. I say to myself, "Baby, I am reluctant to kill you too. But if I give birth to you, you will lead a more miserable life than me..."I do not know if it is because of the pregnancy, not long later I sleep on the dressing table.In the afternoon, I hear people walking hard outside my door. I wake up immediately. But before I come back to my senses, the door to my room has been opened."Mrs. Barnett, have you touched anything in Mr. Barnett's study?" Amy looks scared.I feel afraid and stammer immediately. "Has. ..Has. ..Has he come back? Has he discovered?"Amy looks anxious. "So you really did. You told me you were just using the library for homework. Then why did you touch on other things in the Study? Mr. Barnett is in a rage now. Mrs. Barnett, this time I really can not help you anymore."I feel nervous and scared. My heart beats loudly. I only have one thought in my mind. I do not need to divorce him because he will kill me directly.I start to cry. "Amy, I am sorry. I did not read his stuff on purpose. I was just moving the notebook and the photo dropped out. I did not do it on purpose. I put the photo into the notebook at once. I have only glanced at it. I did not even look carefully..."Amy purses her lips. "I believe you but I can not help you anymore. Mr. Barnett just blamed me. Maybe I will lose my job."I feel terrible. I can be punished but I can not let Amy suffer for me.I run out of my room and I am about to explain to Freddy to save Amy when the lift opens slowly and Freddy comes out with a bodyguard pulling him.His face looks gloomy and in his eyes, I can clearly see the boiling rage.I know he would be angry but I did not expect him to be so angry."Freddy, I am sorry. I needed to write a paper this morning, so I used your library. This has nothing to do with Amy. Amy stopped me at first but I did not listen to her." I am nervous and there seems to be something blocking my throat.I try to shoulder all the responsibility. He stops in the living room and looks at me coldly. his eyes look red. It seems that I have irritated him badly. I open my mouth again. "I am sorry.""You have seen it, right?" His voice sounds deep and chilly. His two hands are crossed. He looks relaxed but I can not see his fingers clenched hard. I think if he were not in the wheelchair, he would knock my head down.""You stupid woman. How dare you? Do you think that you are the mistress of this house? How dare you go to my study and touch my stuff? Damn it!"I tremble and shake my head. "I can not remember it clearly now. I only glanced at it. It dropped out, so I glanced at it. I did not do it on purpose. I do not want to know about your secrets. We will soon have no relations. You know it, right? I was only too nervous...""Shut up!" It seems that he hates me even more. "Go back to your own room. Before the divorce, do not ever walk out!"I stop the exclamation I was about to say and I walk back to my room. I can clearly sense his distaste towards me."Before I close the door, I hear Freddy say, "Amy, do not give her any food."Is he going to imprison me and starve me to death?Amy looks sorry for me, but she does not say anything now. In this house, Freddy is the law.Two days later.Carl Barnett feels better and comes to visit Freddy. "Freddy, how do you feel? what did the doctor say? When can you stand up again?" Looking at the healthy Freddy, Carl smiles happily.Freddy says, "The doctor said I am better now. Mom, I want to discuss something with you."Carl looks unhappy immediately. "Do you want to talk about your marriage? I arranged for the wedding. Alina is a big girl. I am satisfied with her. Oh, where is she now? Have you let her leave?""No." Freddy signs Amy and Amy walks to my room. For two days, I have not eaten anything or drank anything. When the door is open, Carl Stands by the door and looks inside. I sit by the wall hugging myself to keep warm. My hair is messy and I feel cold. Hearing the voice from the door, I turn my head to look."Alina, what happened to you?" Carl screams when she sees my face. I must look pale. "Why are you like this? Did Freddy torture you?"Carl trembles when she says. "You look much thinner than before.
"Congratulations, you have triplets.""What?" Last time when I came to check my body, the doctor did not tell me about the triplets. I did not expect that I have three babies in my belly with you in just a week.I sit there silently. It seems that I am thinking about something, but also it does not seem like I am thinking about something."So, what's your decision? Will you keep the babies?""I do not know," I murmur."If you decide to have an abortion, you may not have triplets again. The possibility of bearing triplets is very low, let alone you are human..."I was surprised when I heard this so I interrupted, "You told me something about werewolves and Alpha of the pack last time that you did not tell me so much. Can you tell me something about it now?"The doctor smiles. "You are really lucky. Humans can hardly bear werewolves' children.""But since the Barnett family wants the children for Mr. Barnett rather than me. Then why did they not find a werewolf? It will be easier to have
I stare at the woman for a few seconds and frown."You are Alina Miller, right?" The woman stands up and walks towards me enchantingly. "I heard that Madame Barnett made you his wife. She has a good taste. You look good but you are so naive... I did not mean you were young and cute. I mean your air shows that you are imbecile!"Insulting me in my face? I smile. "You look good and you are smart. You are better than me in all aspects. When will Freddy marry you?"I sound calm but she is irritated at once."Alina! How dare you talk to me like this! Do you know how many years I have followed Freddy? Even if you are his wife, even if I slap you now, he will not help you."After that, the woman raises her arm.suddenly, something breaks Loudly. It was me who threw the vase on the shelf in the corner onto the table in front of them. The vase broke into pieces spreading on the carpet. It even hurts me, so my blood is dropping onto the carpet too.I bend to pick up a piece. I hold the piece t
Although I have never been pregnant before, I know that many people vomit or even stay in bed when they are pregnant. Luckily, except for feeling sick, I have never vomited.But looking at the steak on my plate, I feel sick immediately, so I pick it out. "Mrs. Barnett, is this steak badly cooked?" Amy looks at me nervously.I shake my head. "I want to eat some vegetables recently."Amy answers, "OK. I will make you vegetables Tonight.""Thank you..." Suddenly, my phone rings. I glance at Freddy and rush towards my bedroom. I do not want to pick up phones in front of Freddy and I do not want him to hear what I talk to others."Miss Miller, I am your father's lawyer. Are you free today?"I keep silent and listen carefully. I feel moved when hear from a man related to my father. Although The lawyer did not tell me anything Important, I can guess what this talk will be about. "Sure. Let's meet at 11 o'clock."After dressing up formally, I go out with my bag. Unexpectedly, I see Freddy's
The Barnett group.In the most luxurious office on the top floor.In front of the bright and clean floor to ceiling window, there is a man standing against the golden sunshine. His eyes are deep and extraordinary. In his hands is a document which was sent by his beta, Roy."Alpha, the miller group has 5 billion debt. Mrs. Miller and her daughter went abroad this morning. In my opinion, they will not come back if the miller group affairs are not settled. I think Alina may also give up the Miller group. After all, 5 billion is incredible for her." Roy analyses."Roy, let's make a bet." Stephen, the CFO of the Barnett group smiles like sly fox. He walks towards Roy and puts his arm around Roy's shoulder. "I bet Alina will come to Freddy for money. If she comes to Freddy, I guess Freddy will give her some. After all, they are nominal couple."Roy shakes his head. "She dare not."Stephen laughs. " you know a little about her. Last night when we celebrated our first birthday, she broke a va
By 10 o'clock at night, I finally get home, Freddy's home. It is cold today. The leaves on the ground fly with the wind dropping onto my coat. I get out of the taxi and walk quickly towards Freddy's house.against the darkness, the Black low cut dress on me makes me feel upset and nervous. It shows half of my breasts and my whole legs. I feel cold from my bones. Dressing like this at night is not a good way to keep safe.He is wearing a black shirt now. I must admit that he is cold and handsome. If he were not so dangerous and cold, I might fall in love with him. But now I only want to keep myself safe before divorcing him."You were wearing pants this morning."His words surprise me. What does he mean by saying so?"Ah... So what..." I answer ambiguously."Are you wearing this to please other men?""What?" I am confused. Is he insane? I look around. Today, the atmosphere in this house is pretty weird. Amy usually comes to me and helps me with shoes and bags when I get home, but toda
I pick up the pieces on the ground in tears. I feel aggrieved and tired.The dinner tonight was arranged by Bill, my father's assistant and the dress was also bought by him. When I saw the dress, I did not want to wear at the first thought. It was so short and I knew it was used to please men. I even thought that maybe Bill was the kind of bad person who wanted to take advantage of me. But the only thing I could do was to get dressed and go to the restaurant. After my father's death, Bill was the only one who were willing to approach me and talk about the company affairs. Before I have the chance to be independent and to know more about the company, I can only depend on Bill. So I need to believe him. If I believe him, the most important thing for the company is to get investment, so I need to have a dinner with the two bankers. But when the two bankers wanted to force me to drink, I could no more stand it. I only wanted to escape. I have babies in my belly and I am a mother of thre
Alina's POVThis morning, I woke up pretty early. I planned to get up early to have breakfast so that I could avoid meeting Freddy, but when I come out of my bedroom and walk towards the dining room, Amy greets me with a smile, "Mrs. Barnett, you also got up early today. Luckily, the breakfast is ready."When I hear the word "Also", I know I can not enjoy a happy breakfast today. I turn around and I am about to go back to my room when Amy continues, "Mrs. Barnett, yesterday you said that you wanted to eat some vegetables, so I made you a fruit pizza and some potato soup today. I also made you some salad. I hope you like them."Amy is really kind to me, so I cannot reject her. I sit beside the table reluctantly, with an air of unhappiness when I see Freddy.Although Freddy does not look at me either, I bet he can sense my air of anger, so he says coldly, "We will go to visit my mother after breakfast. You must know what to say and what not to say, right?"I feel impatient when he order
