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
"You overestimate me. Even if I borrow money from Freddy, he will not send money to me. I know who I am." My words make the Barnett family feel relieved. They do not know that after Freddy woke up, he was eager to divorce me. So how could you send money to me?After drinking some coffee and having some desserts, People in the Barnett family have calmed down a little. And when I am about to let out a sigh of relief, Carl holds my hands. I know she has another plan to make use of me."Alina, If you want to help your father's company, why not have a baby for Freddy? By then, Freddy will definitely give you money." I touch my belly subconsciously and glance at Freddy. He is drinking coffee in a calm and relaxed manner , as if he does not hear his mother's promise to me.We leave Carol's house after lunch. When we sit in the backseat of the car, Freddy stares outside silently. Suddenly, he says, "Alina, even if you have my babies, I will kill them by myself."His voice seems to be from a
When I finally see the car running away, I let out a sigh of relief. I check the time and rush to the Miller company. I have decided to sell all my father's properties to pay the debt. I want to pay the debt first and then look for investment.Looking for investment may be difficult because I have humiliated the two bankers and day have said that they would not send me any money.After what happened yesterday, I finally meet Bill. "Alina, do not be worried or feel guilty. If you drink alcohol according to their order last night, they may do something more terrible. I know you are not that kind of woman, so I will not push you."I smile politely. "Even if you push me, I will not do that."Bill looks embarrassed. "I made a list last night. On the list, there are the most powerful and rich people in the city. They have the ability to save our company. If you can persuade one of them, our company will be saved."I purse my lips and have a look at the list. There are many names on the list
"Has he sensed anything? No, there should be nothing related to pregnancy in medicine. I have warned the clerk that there should not be any words related to pregnancy on the package of the medicine. But I did not check it after the clerk gave me the medicine. Did the clerk obey my orders? I do not know... What if she did not obey my orders and Freddy found out that I am pregnant..." I talk to myself.There is sweat coming out of my hands and my hands are totally wet. I try not to tremble and shout loudly, "Do you tell everyone what medicine you take?"I escape quickly after saying this. Then I put the medicine in the drawer of my room and throw myself into my bed to calm myself."I can not lead a life like this anymore. I need to escape from here as soon as possible, otherwise, Freddy will find out that I am pregnant one day."actually, if Freddy wants to know whether I am pregnant, checking my room will be a good way. My pregnancy report and the photo of the children are both in my r
I go to the doctor's in the morning. Because there are so many examinations I have to do, it is almost noon when I finish all the checks. Because some of the results can only be received by the afternoon, and I plan to go to a nearby restaurant to grab something to eat.When I walk out of the doctor's and stand there to look around to look for a good restaurant, someone pat me on the back.I turn around and see a delicate face. It is Denise."It is really you. Are you sick?" Denise is wearing a medium length dress today and there is a black suit outside the dress. She looks beautiful but not sexy, just like any other decent office lady.I shake my head. "I am here for a regular physical examination." I do not want to have a deep conversation with her."Is this doctor good or not? If he is very professional, I will see him next time."I smile. "I am here because of the advertisement. In the advertisement, it is said that it is cheap to do physical examinations here." I bet she will not
When I am thinking, I hear Denise say in a weak voice, "Alina, who told you he has someone he loves? Where did you get the news? Do you know the name of the woman?" I raise my head and see her in sweat. Her delicate face looks pale. She really loves Freddy. Although she seems to be confirmed that around Freddy she is the only woman, she is afraid that Freddy may have other women. I shake my head. Maybe out of sympathy, maybe because I do not want to be in trouble, I say, "Denise, what I said is only my judging. I know little about Freddy. You know, far less than you."I change my words after I calm down. I suddenly find that things about Freddy are not that easy. I do not want to be in trouble. I only want to give birth to my babies and live in this world, if possible, away from the Barnett family.Denise let out a sigh of relief. "I thought you saw Freddy be with other women. You scared me. Freddy is not the kind of man you imagine. He does not like women or children."I pretend to
I walk out of the doctor's and go back to Freddy's house directly. I want to have a good sleep before I learn how to be a mother. I throw myself into the bed as soon as I reach my bedroom. When I wake up again, it is dark outside.I sit on the bed with my brain blank and my stomach empty. I am very hungry and tired, but I do not have the strength to go downstairs to have anything to eat.suddenly, The phone rings. I pick up the phone. It is Bill. "Alina, have you talked with the bosses on the list I gave you?"I am like suddenly woken up from my dream by some cold water. "Oh sorry. No. I will talk to them tomorrow."" Alina, tomorrow is the weekend. It is impolite to bother them at the weekend. Why do n't you talk with them tonight?"I sigh. "OK. Do you need me to send you another list?" I shake my head. "No need. I have it." "Then, remember to have a try tonight. Remember to be frank and sincere. You should..."I interrupt, "Enough, Bill. I see. I need to grab something to eat now
Alina's POVWhen I get back to my bedroom, I feel that my head is heavy. I put myself into a quilt and cover myself carefully. I do not know if it is because I got a cold while I was standing outside just now, but I do curse inside, "every time I meet Freddy, I suffer. Freddy is a devil!"When I wake up and this morning, except for some wet on my body, I feel well. I smile and open the window to air the room. I take a bath and dress myself quickly. Then I pull the door open. What makes me happier is that the smell of food is already spreading in the whole house. I rush towards the dining room and ask Amy, "did Freddy finish eating?" Amy smiles and shakes her head. "No. Mr. Barnett has not come down yet." I sit down with a smile, drink up the milk in the glass and eat the bread on the plate. The milk is a little sweet and the bread is well baked. I finish breakfast within five minutes and stand up. "I am done!" I say to Amy in a loud voice. Now I am energetic and brave enough to fa
