Conrad's POVI looked at Atasha intently and she did the same. We remain standing close to each other not until Mr Lim arrived and interrupt us."I didn't expect that you would be here as well Conrad?" he spoke. When I heard his voice I immediately put Atasha behind me and then faced him.I flashed a fake smile and then extended my hand to greet him."It is nice to see you again Mr Lim," I greeted. Mr Lim took my hand then smiled back after a while he took a peek at Atasha who is standing behind me."I heard that your wife will be handling the transactions of guns and explosives, tough job but I am confident that she will do well since she is a Quinn," he said then looked at Atasha once again."It's nice to see you again Atasha," he said. Atasha took a step forward and then took Mr Lim's hand."You look exactly like your mother," he said while looking at Atasha's face intently."I am glad you didn't forget her," Atasha said, without breaking off their gazes.Mr Lim's smiled then nod h
Atasha's POVWhile looking at Andrew Lim my mind is busy thinking of ways how to kill him in the cruellest way possible."Your Mom is a great person Atasha, I can't easily forget her," he said then smiled at me. If I didn't know what he have done to my mother I would've believed him but I know better. After that, he looked away and turned his head to the cargo."I will check the cargo then we can proceed on the payment," he said but I didn't respond so Conrad nod his head and let Mr Lim's men check the cargo."Are you okay?" Conrad whispered in my ear. I looked at him and then smiled."Just tired from work," I responded to ease his worry."Just stay in your car, I'll follow once we are done here," he said but I shook my head and stay on his side.After a few minutes, Mr Lim came back with a huge smile plastered on his face."Give them the money Alex," he commanded and one of his men holding a briefcase took a step forward and handed the briefcase to Conrad. Conrad took it and then fa

Atasha's POVWhen Mr Lim was gone we decided to head home.Conrad is the one driving while I am sitting in the passenger seat, eyes focus in front.I didn't bother to open any topic because I am still in the middle of absorbing everything the Hudson's told me.Hours had passed but I can't still get it off my head.In my peripheral vision, I can see Conrad stealing glances at my side."Is something wrong?" he asked after a while.I looked at him then shook my head and flashed a small smile."I'm just tired," I repeated the same excuse I used earlier.Conrad let out a deep breath then reached for my hand and gently squeezed it.He didn't say anything, he just held my hand until we reach his condo and that is what I needed.Feeling the warmth of his hands is better than hearing comforting words from him because I might doubt his words...I might think he is lying.Conrad open the door for me and after that, we headed inside.We walked in the dark hallway and the only sound that I can hear
Conrad's POVI stared at Atasha's face intently. She is peacefully sleeping in my arms. After a while, her eyes opened and she stared at me intently probably wondering who I am but when she finally figured out a smile appeared on her lips."Good morning," I greeted then planted a soft kiss on her lips. Atasha's smile grew wider."Good morning," she greeted back.We stared at each other faces for a few seconds but after a while, she pushed me away and run towards the bathroom.My forehead creased, confused about what just had happened.I followed Atasha towards the bathroom but the door is locked after a while I heard her vomiting.Fear consumed me so I knocked harder and a sigh of relief escaped from my mouth when Atasha open the door and faced me.I cupped her face and examined her. Atasha looks pale, her face became paper white and cold sweat are forming on her forehead."Are you okay?" I asked with my voice filled with worry.Atasha smiled at me weakly then nod her head."I feel na
Atasha's POVI didn't go to work just like Conrad wanted. "Are you sure you don't want to get checked?" he asked for the nth time.I let out a deep breath to calm myself then shook my head."I'm fine," I responded then leaned on the chair while he is busy cooking our breakfast."I'm almost done," he said and after a while, the smell of garlic reeked in the kitchen. I immediately covered my nose because of the strong smell then after a while I decided to run towards the bathroom when I can no longer take it."Atasha!" I heard Conrad calling me but I ignored him.After a few seconds, I heard loud knocks on the door."Atasha what's happening?" he asked in a tone filled with worry.I kneeled on the bathroom floor and then held the bowl tightly as I vomit."Open the door, love," he begs.I sigh then reached for the tissue to wipe the side of my lips.When I regained my strength I stood up and open the door for him."That's it I am taking you to the hospital," he said then held my wrist an
Conrad's POVAs I kneel on the cold floor I now realized everything my father has said to me...love is indeed a weakness but I am not regretting anything.I held Atasha's hand tightly and look at her directly in the eyes desperate to convince her to keep our child."I already told you I don't want a child," she firmly said as if she already decided everything.I aggressively shake my head. Tears fell from my eyes. I feel like I am losing all my strength."How about me Atasha? That is also my child, you can take away my right," I said. Atasha looked at me coldly and those stares scared the hell out of me.This is the first time I hate looking into her eyes."You want this child to live?" she asked looking at me in disbelief."And then what? Teach him/her how to use guns? Force him/her to live in a world filled with cruelty? You can't even get me out of this life. Don't you think you are being selfish if you drag this child to this hellish world just to be with us?" those words slap me
Atasha's POVI looked at Conrad's face intently. He remained poker face refusing to show any kind of emotions which made everything even harder."Do you have a warrant?" he asked turning his head to the police I am with.The police fell silent. They looked at one another which simply implies that they don't have a warrant for arrest."You are the last person seen with Ruby Taylor which makes you the primary suspect. You have to come with us for further questioning," the police almost the same build as Conrad spoke.Conrad looked at me once again."I'm innocent," he coldly uttered not to defend himself from the police officer but from me.I looked away when I can no longer hold the intensity of his stare."The court will decide whether you are innocent or not Mr Sawyer," said the officer and after that it was followed by silence.When I turned my head on Conrad he is still looking at me intently and the way he stares made me even more nervous.After a while, he looked at the police off
