Natalie took a deep breath. "If he finds out later about something he doesn't know now, things will spiral out of control!"So, whether Bianca wanted this child or not, Natalie thought that Malcolm should at least know about it.And when Bianca heard this, her heart felt a bit choked up. She had to admit Natalie was right. "Okay, I'll do as you say.""After all, we're all adults here.""Yeah."Bianca understood.-Meanwhile, Malcolm, upon returning to the villa, went straight to Seraphine.Since she arrived, Malcolm had never sought her out, but now her face was all smiles."You finally agreed to see me," she said.Though they had been living under the same roof for days now, Malcolm had always avoided her.It was a rare sight for him to seek her out!Malcolm said, "Speak. What are your terms?"Seraphine hesitated.At his words, her face paled a bit, and she looked at Malcolm. "What do you mean by terms, Lord Malcolm?!"What terms?Was he trying to drive her away? Was
On Bianca's side, her whole world was in chaos. Curtis took a long time to digest the sudden news before glancing at Bianca. "What's your plan?" He didn't ask how the child came about or make any serious accusations. Instead, he inquired about Bianca's current plan.Yes, this matter was urgent! Although it was sudden and confusing, the decision had to be made.Bianca looked at Curtis. She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but at this moment, she couldn't find the words. After taking a deep breath, she said, "Nat said whatever decision I make is right."Natalie?Hearing her mention Natalie, Curtis couldn't help but sigh again. Their relationship was really good. It seemed like now, no matter what happened, Bianca would confide in Natalie."And what about you?" Despite whatever Natalie might have said, Curtis was most interested in Bianca's thoughts."I don't want this baby!" Bianca said without hesitation. At that moment, she thought about Natalie and Cedric. It wa
The atmosphere, already tense and icy, became even more charged with danger as Bianca remained steadfast in her resolve. Malcolm's gaze bore down on her oppressively, as if he could somehow will her to comply. However, Bianca remained unfazed."Not possible?""That's right, it's not possible!" Bianca's tone was resolute.Malcolm's eyes flashed dangerously."If anything happens to the child in your belly, I'll make sure everyone around you pays the price!"All eyes in the cafe turned towards them. Seraphine, who had originally thought Bianca was trying to seduce Malcolm, now watched with shock and confusion. Bianca was pregnant...!What about her? What was she going to do?The sound of water splashing and the cup hitting the table echoed as Bianca threw the water from her cup at Malcolm without hesitation. Her anger was palpable.Malcolm watched her with a dark intensity, his eyes filled with a menacing gloom. Bianca grabbed her bag and stormed towards the exit. "Stop right
After returning to the villa, Bianca found Curtis already there. Unlike before, there was a faint worry in his eyes when he looked at her, especially when he noticed her less-than-rosy complexion."How did the conversation go?" Curtis inquired.Bianca hesitated.Talking to Malcolm was one thing, but being asked about it now? Her expression darkened even further.Observing his daughter’s demeanor, Curtis probably had a good idea of how it went even without her saying anything."Shall I arrange things for you?" he offered.Bianca nodded without hesitation. "Yes."Unlike Malcolm, Bianca's thoughts on this matter were more mature. And anyway, she had expected Malcolm's reaction today, so she didn't let it bother her."What would you like to eat later? I'll have Carol prepare it for you," Curtis said.Bianca paused. What did she want to eat?She found herself at a loss. Before, she could have listed off a multitude of dishes she desired, but now, even if she saw something appetizi
When Bianca told him to leave, Curtis' expression stiffened for a moment as an indescribable sense of desolation washed over him. Bianca, sensitive as she was, easily picked up on this."I'm worried about your health," she said, looking at her father.Curtis' demeanor softened slightly at the mention of Bianca's concern. Warmth flickered in his eyes."I'm worried about you too, Bia," Curtis admitted.Ever since learning of his daughter's pregnancy, he had been anxious about leaving her in someone else's care.Bianca fell silent. Curtis noticed her tendency to withdraw from social interactions. She seemed to feel pressured when around too many people.At his daughter’s continued silence, Curtis said, "I'll head back for today, then."He didn't press further. As long as he was in Simeria, by her side, that was enough. Everything else could wait. He didn't want to add any more pressure on her.With that, Curtis left Bianca alone in the dining room. She sat there, feeling an indesc
Malcolm had once been a demonic figure that terrorized Simeria. Now, there was finally a woman who had truly captured his heart, and this seemed to have completely changed him."Aren't you worried? He's your brother," Natalie asked her husband.Her use of 'brother' darkened Austin's gaze even more."Nat, you still don’t get it!""Okay, okay, I was just kidding."Their world had been so depressing lately; she just wanted to lighten the mood a bit.A smile tugged at the corners of the man's lips. Natalie knew there was no room for sentimentality in their world."This time, he's really in for it. Bianca always handles things with maturity. She won't keep this child," said Natalie.That was right!Bianca was mature, so Malcolm's antics were like child's play to her. They just couldn't see eye to eye on anything, whether it was their outlook on life or... how they handled things. They were on opposite ends of the spectrum.-Malcolm was furious.Just the thought of Natalie's att
Crystal's expression froze when she heard Seraphine say she wanted to leave Simeria."Miss, what are you saying?"Leave Simeria? What would that mean for Seraphine? It meant everything she had once possessed would vanish, and her life might even worsen."Mother is gone. In Simeria, no one will protect me," Seraphine stated.Even if Eleanor were here, what difference would it make? Both Seraphine and Crystal knew that Eleanor's attention would still have been on Bianca."You don't know how terrifying he is," said Seraphine, Malcolm’s suffocating presence making her want to flee.But Crystal interjected, "The outside world isn't as beautiful as you think."Beautiful?In her world, that word was nothing but wishful thinking. But hearing Crystal say this made Seraphine wonder if she could endure an even worse life than now."She's proud, she won't keep the child," said Crystal, who understood Seraphine's concern.Because Bianca was pregnant now, Seraphine was worried that Malcolm
After all, the Holly family and Malcolm had been at odds for a long time. Especially with Eleanor's attitude before, which was something Malcolm couldn't stand. Now that he had become part of Bianca's family, there were still some things he hadn't quite adjusted to…-Malcolm was having a tough time, and Cedric wasn't faring much better. Natalie had trapped him in Simeria this time. As for Wexford, she was going all out, aiming to crush him and everything he stood for.After receiving a phone call, Kyle approached Cedric with evident concern. The tension in his voice was palpable as he spoke."Sir!"Cedric inquired, "What did Irwin say?""He wants you to talk to her as soon as possible."Her, meaning Natalie. Just one member of the Jarvis family would have been enough trouble, but now she had Austin backing her up too.Cedric closed his eyes briefly, a glint of cold determination flashing in them."Mr. Frazier said that this time she..." Kyle trailed off, not continuing.She
