At the Harrington family house.
Ivy sat comfortably in the spacious living room drinking an orange juice while rubbing her tummy.
Baby, don't worry; Mom is going to protect you. Your father loves you; he's just been bewitched by that vacuous woman, muttered Ivy slowly.
Ivy Why are you talking to yourself?" asked her mom, entering the room with Mr. Harrington.
Tell Mom what's wrong with you. Has Mason done something to you?
No mom, I'm fine; a.... actually, I'm pregnant!
she nervously blurted out
Her parents froze, taking in what she just blurted out. What did you say, Ivy?
I said I'm pregnant mom,, Ivy said again, this time more confident.
What? That's great news, dear; this calls for a celebration. exclaimed Serena, suddenly on her feet.
Now all you have to do is take care of the baby in your womb. Don't worry; I will take charge of your wedding preparation.
Ivy, now that you're carrying Mason's baby, you must make sure he marries you.
This child will secure the future of our family. I'm really proud of you, daughter. praised Mr. Harrington.
In Ivy's heart she was looking for a way to convince Mason to marry her.
********************
On the outskirts of the city, in a magnificent mansion, a petite girl with a snow-white body lay in the spacious room. The dim light reflected in the bedroom, making her snow-white skin shine brightly.
Victor's fiancée, Mia, closed her long lashes tightly; you could see she was trying to pretend to be sleeping.
Outside the balcony door, Victor's voice rang out, revealing eagerness and concern. Any news yet? asked Victor on the phone.
No, Young Master replied the other person.
Hearing the response, Victor immediately became angry, his once shiny eyes fuming with anger. He has put so many resources into finding the person, but all prove infertile.
Keep searching and report to me any slightest information! Don't call me again unless you have something. commanded Victor.
Yes, sir! Rest assured, we will do everything possible to win her.
After hanging up the call, he pushed the door open, walking straight to the bed. Reaching the bed, he looked at Mia, who was still forcing herself to sleep.
Her long hair scattered on the bed, her slender legs showed through her light dress.
The woman was so beautiful that he always lost himself whenever she was near him.
Mia Why can't you be innocent and stay by my side? he said while running her fingertip on her rosy lips.
Mia, who was pretending to be sleeping, opened her eyes wide immediately as his finger touched her lip. trembling, she tried to back away to the other side.
but Victor was so fast, immediately clicking the bed.
Hump... where do you think you are running to? pretending to be asleep err Victor asked coldly.
Mia became afraid, her body trembling with fear.
Victor approached her with a vacuous smile on his face, removing the quilt covering her.
Victor?! What do you think you are doing?
You can't treat me like that, Victor.
Still don't know what I want to do; wait till I finish with you; you will know by then.
replied Victor angrily, removing her thin dress.
Stop, Victor, please stop.
All her cries and pleas fall on deaf hears. like a triggered demon, the man pounced on her. kissing her neck, leaving a mark.
The man went for her lips, kissing her possessively.
ouch… Mia winced in pain, struggling to stop him, but the man's strength was no match for her.
The man didn't stop; he continued to abuse her body, leaving no room for her.
by the time he was satisfied, Mia struggled to catch her breath, breathing heavily to steady herself.
Victor tried to kiss her again, but this time Mia beat him to it, slapping his face.
Victor You jerk, let me go. How could you do this to me? I hate you! She said while trying to slap him again. but this time he dodged reaching for her hand. trying to slap me again hmm
Not again! Unless you want me to bury you alive, sneered Victor.
His angry face, staring deeply at Mia, you could see from his dark eyes that he hadn't slept for days.p
let you go? Keep dreaming; in this lifetime, you can only be entangled with me unless I die, shouted Victor.
Tell me, where is Lia? Where did you send her? Victor asked angrily.
I've told you, Victor. I don't know where she went; she's intentionally hiding from.
Shut up! Lia doesn't know anyone. I brought her up myself; apart from me, she doesn't know anyone from here, so where could she possibly go? replied victor angrily.
You sent her away because you were jealous, even when I told you Lia is just my innocent sister.
No Victor I didn't, she said while shaking her head.
Victor struggled with her neck with force. What, trying to justify yourself? I don't believe you unless you tell me where Lia is.
That night Victor had his way with her until late at night when he was tired before he let her go.
He left the exhausted Mia on the huge bed and went to the bathroom. He turned the shower on, letting it run through his body.
A few minutes later he turned off the water and dried himself with a towel.
He walked into the bedroom, water dripping from his hair.
He headed to the bed, covered the sleeping woman with a quilt.
The woman was sleeping peacefully, but even in her sleep, you could see the hurt in her face. He wanted to apologize to her, but in the end he stopped.
Mia What if I'm wrong? What if I wrongly accused you? Will you ever forgive me?
He muttered to himself.
No matter what happens in the future, even if I'm wrong, you can't leave my side, Mia.
I won't allow that. With this he pulled the sleeping woman into his arms. sleep engulfing him.
Immediately he closed his eyes, the woman beside him opened her eyes, staring into the darkness. With tears in her eyes She said to herself, Victor, why don't you believe me? Will you ever believe me?
Mia questioned the sleeping man beside her.
