Nikki's POV"I want to get away from Krystal as soon as possible."Richard's words from last night kept ringing in my ears. If Richard's wish really came true, then what would happen next? What would happen to me and this child? Richard didn't say anything else after that. There was no plan or anything about my fate. Will he still be good to me? But until when? Then, about the contract we signed together. Would it be void now that Richard and Krystal were actually divorced?I let out a long sigh. It was early in the morning, and I was already burdening my mind with things that were out of my control. Richard had left for work an hour ago, leaving me alone in my room.I idly check my phone and find that it's already time for pregnancy exercises. Unfortunately, ever since Krystal caught Richard in the apartment the other day, I haven't been able to attend the exercises.It looks like Krystal dismissed the coach. Since moving into Richard's house, he never said anything about the coach

Nikkie's POV "What do you mean by talking like that? Look, Richard, I never considered you a useless man. Stop beating yourself up like this. You also have other things to do; you're not a God who can solve all problems simultaneously. And that's okay," I said quickly. I think I've hurt Richard's ego as a man, even though I didn't mean it that way. Richard glanced at me with a forced smile. "Then why do you permanently hide everything from me, Nikkie? Why do you make me the last person to know when you're in trouble? Am I that unreliable?" My heart said it was useless to say any comforting words to Richard. Richard is compassionate and not in a positive frame of mind. "I'm sorry, Richard. But I never thought of you that way. It was all a misunderstanding," I said, at a loss for words. Richard didn't answer. Silence enveloped the atmosphere around us, sending a sense of unease through me. When the silence became unbearable, Richard suddenly got up. "Get some rest, Nikkie. Ther

Nikkie's POV"Richard, help me!" I cried to my own hands. My legs were tired of running, and I lost focus to realize that my phone was no longer in my hand. It had been thrown somewhere, I don't know when.There were three big guys, and one of them was huge. They were still excitedly chasing me. Running around suddenly made me feel like my stomach was cramping, and I had to stop on the side of the road while holding my stomach. Even so, I still walked away from them. At least I had to try, even if it would end in vain. "That's enough. I said, stop right there!" one of them shouted. I didn't know who was crying, too scared to turn my head because it would only make me panic even more. "Never mind, this isn't working. I feel bad for forcing a pregnant woman," said one of the others. I continued to listen as I hobbled along."Don't equate this woman with other pregnant women. She's willing to impregnate for money! She's even willing to take our client's husband!" said another man

Nikkie's POV"Richard...," I called weakly. My eyes, which had been closed, opened forcefully to hear Richard's cry. He sounded terrified and panicked. Richard breathed a sigh of relief. His gaze looked very sad. "Please stay with me," Richard's whisper sounded heartbreaking. He hugged my body tightly to his body, and I suddenly felt something warm and liquid on my forehead. Amongst the pain that wracked my entire body, I could still think if those were Richard's tears. If so, why isn't it me who is in pain?The scenery outside the car window was moving fast, making me nauseous. Not to mention that my eyelids felt very heavy to keep open. But I didn't want to make Richard even more panicked and sad, so I forced myself to stay awake. I never thought that Richard would come to save me. When he appeared, breaking down the front door like a superhero with the sunlight behind his back. I felt like I was dreaming.Or like my dreams and hopes had come true. But when I discovered that Rich

Nikkie's POV"Nikkie!"I jerked awake when I heard someone shouting my name loudly. I didn't recognize the owner of the voice. The sight I saw after I woke up was something I didn't recognize. I was in a vast green meadow on a summer afternoon that didn't feel hot."Where am I?" I asked in astonishment. I looked around but found no one but myself. "Hello? Is anyone here?" but I did something else stupid, shouting. After waiting for a full minute, no one answered me at all.I looked down at myself in a calf-length, short-sleeved white dress made of silk that fell beautifully."Why does this look like a wedding dress?" I muttered, looking at my dress. The cut of this dress reminded me of Richard. Most of the dresses he bought for me were cut like this."Wait. Richard? Wasn't I with him earlier?" I asked again. I walked forward, ran, and walked again when I felt tired. Surprisingly, I couldn't find the end of this meadow. I felt tired and fearful at the same time. The sunlight in this
