Nikkie's POV"Why are you always telling me to go back to Krystal? Don't you already know the reason I decided not to be with Krystal anymore?" Richard exclaimed with offense.I just stared at Richard's gray eyes without saying a word.Richard held both my up sleeves, the look in his eyes showing pain and anger mixed. "Tell me something, Nikkie. Why do you want me to go back to Krystal?" Richard demanded again. My head bowed deeply. My hand unconsciously stroked my stomach, which was starting to form curves. "Don't you love Krystal? After all, this child needs a complete set of parents to grow up properly," I said softly. Richard released his grip on my sleeves and then held his forehead while laughing softly."Oh my God, Nikkie. Are you jealous?" Richard asked in the midst of his laughter."I'm not jealous! I'm really thinking about this child," I lied. Yes, I lied. I just wanted to test Richard.Richard took a deep breath after running out of breath from laughing for a while."T

Nikkie's POV"The intercom is fixed. You'll be able to see whoever is standing in front of your door again," Shawn said the following afternoon. I nodded and handed Shawn a glass of orange juice. Shawn had just finished fixing the problematic intercom. I wouldn't have even realized that the intercom was broken if it hadn't been for the series of prank interruptions over the past three days.Shawn drank the juice down, then wiped his lips. He glanced at me, then at Sharon, and his gaze turned to astonishment. Sharon happened to be passing in front of us carrying a basket of dirty laundry. "Hey, what's wrong with your faces? You two don't look good," Shawn commented. I smiled slightly, then shrugged helplessly."We're fine. Just sleep-deprived and a little stressed," I replied matter-of-factly. An answer that further confused Shawn. "What's really going on?" he pursued.I exhaled a tired breath. My head felt a little dizzy from lack of sleep, and it made my body feel weak.I glanced

Krystal's POV"Did you manage to get that bitch Nikkie to miscarry? What did your goons report?" I asked Jeremy.Jeremy returned his cell phone to the nightstand, not immediately answering my question. I became impatient and quickly jumped out of the covers.Jeremy's face flushed as I rushed to him to take his phone."Oh my, my Lady. At least put something on. You're turning me on again just by looking at your naked body!" Jeremy scolded while restraining my body. I didn't care about Jeremy's teasing. All I could think about now was for that bitch Nikkie to miscarry. She doesn't deserve to be happy!"Let me go, I need to know how that bitch is doing!" I screamed in annoyance. Surprisingly, Jeremy didn't listen to me and hugged me even tighter. The innocence of our bodies and the lack of distance between us allowed me to feel something hard prickling my stomach. I quickly looked down to check, and my guess was correct.I glared at Jeremy. "What the fuck, why are you so horny!"

Richard's POV"Cheating? Wait a minute!" exclaimed Mr. Mayer in shock. He seemed to be struggling to digest what I had just said.I wasn't kind enough to pause, going straight for the next punchline."Not only with Jeremy. But also with many other men, gigolos, and countless other men, her one-night stand partners, sir," I added. I looked at Krystal with a triumphant look.Unlike me, Krystal looked back at me. But with a vengeful look. If I were still the old me, I would have immediately lost my mind to find a way to keep Krystal from getting angry with me anymore.But it was different now. The love was gone, vanished into thin air. All that's left is an endless disappointment that I don't know how to heal. "Do you know what you're saying that could get me charged? This is a serious charge, Richard Moonstone!" scolded Mr. Mayer in a low but warning tone.I took a long breath and adjusted my sitting position to make it more comfortable. "I know the consequences of my actions, M

Nikkie's POV"What are you thinking about? Did something bad happen at the office?" I asked in a soft tone. Since returning this afternoon from the Goldman Inc. building, Richard seemed to be in deep thought. He just sat cross-legged on the single sofa, with his hands linked in front of his torso.Richard had not even changed his clothes. He did look more seductive with the suit look, but my focus is not on that anymore. Ever since I learned from Sharon that Richard had gone to Krystal's company building, my anxiety had been mounting.Richard blinked his eyes several times, looking like someone who woke up from a dream. "Are you okay?" I asked as I handed him a glass of water. Richard smiled slightly, then accepted the glass and drank the contents to the brim. He then put the glass down while his gaze was glued to my stomach. I stared in the same direction and again felt surprised because I thought nothing strange. Richard then looked at me then signaled me to come closer. I obeyed
