“GOOD MORNING!” HE greeted me with a hottie smiled on his face.
I glanced at some of the staff he was talking to, who were scrambling to leave in front of me before
looking back at him.
I simply nod, subtly cross my arms across my chest and try my best to act normal.
“What can I do for you, Mr. Saavedra?” I ask.
His dark eyes lock with mine. He looks even better when I’m this close. I sighed and quickly averted my
eyes.
“Your dad called me early this morning and asked me to help you out for the party,” he said in a serious
tone.
I scoffed and let my eyes wandered around and end to his deep-set eyes.
“As you can see, everything is in order. Your staff is really hard-working, so you don’t have to watch
them anymore,” I stated.
“Margaux—”
I hold up my hands to cut him off. “Mr. Saavedra, I’ll just call you if there is a problem. Maybe you
understand what I want to happen?”
He did not answer; only the sloe-eyed disapproval gleamed will be visible.
“Do you understand?” I bluntly said.
He didn’t bother to answer. Instead, he gripped my hand tightly in front of everyone and dragged me
outside the door.
“What the hell are you doing?!” I struggle.
None of the staff wanted to drown in the scene. I finally thought that Lawrence’s staff was all inside.
“Let me go!” I grumbled.
But he did not obey my command. We were completely out of the room. From there, he quickly let me
in just across the door.
Everything happened so fast. Before my anger spilled from my mouth, Lawrence has pressed me
against the door.
I did not prepare myself for what he did next. I was punished and controlled by his cold lips. His fingers
tangle in my bold hair. I could feel the trembling of my knees because of his explicit kiss. Without the
door behind me, I probably wouldn’t be able to stand it any longer.
My hand held the hem of his shirt to steal some strength. He continued kissing me hungrily. Feeling we
have ‘run out of gas’ emotionally.
I tremble with the caress of his hands’ slide, slowly and possessively down my waist and over my hips.
The delved of his tongue growing softer and drawing deeply.
Slowly he tears his mouth, forehead rest against mine. I closed my eyes; both our breaths are shaking.
I try to calm the lost heart the most.
“Let go of me,” I said in a low voice.
“I call off the engagement. I’m choosing you, Margaux,” he said in a hushed voice.
I bit my bottom lip, I escaped with all my strength, but he exerted more pressure on my body, shoving
me up against the door.
We exchanged look for a moment before I could feel the edge of my tears.
“You don’t know the feeling of being cheated and hurt. That feeling of stupidity,” I said with full of rage.
I burst into tears. One by one, the pain of yesterday returned to me.
“The person I was supposed to be with for the rest of my life cheated on me. That fucking bastard
screwed me! You don’t know how painful that is for me, Rence!”
“I was vulnerable. It was the darkest day of my life. There was no reason for me to continue my life,
and suddenly you came . . .” I smiled, a sad smile on my face.
I gasped heavily, violently wiping away the tears that kept running down my cheeks. “You came to me
like a knight and shining armor. You ease all my pain and my hatred. You taught me how to trust again,
even for a short time. I fucking trusted you!” I shouted. I used all my strength to push him.
“But I just thought all of that. You’re just like them. You’re the same!”
His brow slanted in strong disapproval, “I can’t do that to you, believe me, I don’t want to hurt you.”
I laugh, a cruel mocking laugh. I saw a muscle in his jaw flexes.
“You already did, Lawrence. I was hurt. I regret everything that happened between us!” I clearly said.
I didn’t wait for him to speak again. I violently turned around to open the door, but I immediately felt
very dizzy.
“Margaux, are you alright?!” I could feel his warm palm holding my back.
I violently shook his hand and tried to open the door, but he held me tightly.
“You need some rest. My staff says you may be lack sleep and need to rest for a few days.” His voice
was sounding more concerned.
“I’m fine.” For some reason, my voice was suddenly soft. His masculine scent gives and strong hand
electrified me.
“I-I have to go . . .” I finally said I did not give him a chance to stop me.
I went straight out of the hotel and got in my car to drive away.
I gripped the steering wheel tightly. I just looked straight at the road, not knowing the direction to go.
My heart aches completely. I want to shout and scream at the top of my lungs. If I could just not go
back to the hotel so I wouldn’t see him again, I would. I want to forget him, like what I did to Lester. It’s
funny because I feel more pain now than Lester cheated on me before.
I chuckled while shaking my head with disbelief. I never think that I love someone so much, but I never
thought he would hurt me this much.
I blinked for a moment as I spotted a drugstore across the street. My grip on the steering wheel
tightened. I’ve never been so confused in my entire life, not at this very moment. I glanced at the
drugstore in my rearview and bit my lip hard before turning.

MY HEART WAS pounding so fast. If I used to be anxious, now I feel like I’m going to have heart
disease because of too much nervousness. I’m holding the pregnancy test I bought at the drugstore in
my right hand tightly. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
A few minutes ago, I was walking back and forth in the CR in my room, and until now, I have not yet
decided if I will use it. I bit my bottom lip and check the calendar again on my phone. I never noticed
that I missed my period last month.
I sharply inhale while sitting in the toilet bowl. “Come on, Margaux! You can do it!”
I shut my eyes and lay my frail body on the bed in a crouching position after seeing the pregnancy test
result.
I have three pregnancy tests at my side, and they showed up the same result.
I’m pregnant.
I bit my lower lip harder as I could. Too late for the tears to be wiped off. Uncontrollably, I started to sob.
This can’t be happening! That was just one night!
No, I’m not pregnant. Maybe I’m just tired at work. Maybe I just lack sleep. I was slightly anemic and
having a very bad headache. I’m sure that’s the only reason.
I’m not ready to have a baby. I still have many dreams in life. I’ll be the new president of Collins hotel
very soon. What will my father tell me? I know he has high expectations of me, and I don’t want to
disappoint him, but I regretfully say I failed him. I’m a failure!
I lowered my gaze to my flat stomach, and I gently caressed it. I sighed deeply, then blinked
emphatically.
I’m pregnant! And soon to be a mother!
