My eyes widened in shock. After all, I could not believe what I was hearing. The person on the other end of the phone was not James. Rather, it was Oscar Melrose.
Oscar had been my childhood sweetheart. Before I went to Cambridge University, he left the UK. Hence, we lost contact.
Yet, how could the child in my womb be his? Even though it sounded impossible, I stopped the operation.
“Oscar, do you really know what you’re saying?”
My voice felt heavy as I asked him.
Indeed, I had a small hope in what he just said. This was the only pregnancy I had carried to eight months. If James and the others had not caused my miscarriages, I would not have thought of ending it. But because of everything they did, I had planned to let it go.
If … if the baby was really Oscar’s …
On the other end, Oscar laughed softly.
“Adrianne, have you forgotten I came back eight months ago? You only had James in your heart, so how would you even notice me?”
“But that night, you took my virginity. Your baby is definitely mine. I already did a paternity test. If you want, I can send you the results now.”
The moment I heard his confident voice, it made me breathe out for the first time in a long while. When I finally calmed down, I realized I was crying.
Oscar continued to talk, “Adrianne, what’s on your mind? You know that I hate the idea of my woman having my child with someone else.”
Hearing that, I answered Oscar seriously over the phone, “In a month, I’ll be single. Come get me. I’m going to Spain. But I have one condition.”
“You must work with the Venus Group and launch a strike at the Goldwyn Family. I want the Goldwyn Group wiped out. I want James to be left with nothing.”
There was a short pause from Oscar’s end, but he eventually laughed before agreeing without hesitation.
After we finished planning, I dragged my tired body back to the mansion. Before I entered, I heard Celine’s high, loud moans. Her voice was full of seduction, mixed with James’ low moans and echoed through the house. I clenched my teeth and stared at the sight.
The place Celine had mentioned was our home. The bed they used was my favorite bed. They had made love on it!
