Chapter 39 Paris

CHAPTER 39 Paris

HE LOOKED DOWN at me; eyes were a shade of acorns, a muscle in his jaw flexes. I do not know when this burning stare of his on me will heal. They glow with humor and playfulness that sent a shiver down my spine. And here I am, cowardly losing.

He grabbed both of my legs, spreading them wide, then he thrusts again. Our eyes lock for a second. “You were on the dead-end, Sweetie . . .” he said huskily.

I didn’t bother to answer. Instead, I wrapped my legs around his waist tightly and gave him wide access to my wet mound.

I moaned in pleasure, and I arch into him, wanting to balance his movement on my surface. He’s driving me wild, and he firmly pulls me against his erection.

“Ah!” I pant seductively.

I bit my lip to meet every thrust of him and dig into his readiness with all my heart.

He accelerated even more on my surface. His hand was caressing and squeezing my peak. I shudder in pleasure, his touch is heavy, and he thrusts harder until he explodes his final juices inside me.

Our heavy breathing is the only thing that can be heard in the room. He slowly lay down next to me but immediately pulled me to hug me tightly. He lowered his head and pecked a kiss on my head.

“I love you, sweetheart.” He kissed my forehead goodnight, and I cuddle into his arms.

***

A FEW MOMENTS passed, but my spirit was still awake. I do not know what to think because many things are running through my mind now.

One of those is the thing between Lawrence and me. I looked at him. His low heavy breathing makes my heart throbs harder, but at the same time, it was a beet red.

Oh! Margaux, why do you have to feel this way over and over again?

Despite everything, why do I still feel my heart beating fast for him?

Maybe because he’s the father of my child, and nothing can change even if he marries someone else.

That’s right! I have made a decision; I will confess my pregnancy to him tomorrow. I will admit that this child I’m carrying is his. I will not think about what will happen to his engagement with Elliesse. What’s important now is the two of us and our future child.

I was in such a state of mind when I heard a series of knocks on the door from the outside. I looked up at Lawrence’s face. He was still in his deep sleep. And I decided that what I really needed to do was learn how to do it right.

I quickly got dressed and fixed myself before opening the door. But to my surprise, the woman with her raven eyes and her furrowed brows appeared in front of me.

“Elliesse . . .”

***

THE DARKNESS OF the night sky had turned into daylight, and the warm glow of the sun filtered in.

In plain sight, I could see the large Eiffel Tower of Paris, France. An indication that the plane we were traveling in was about to land.

“Ready?” a soft tone whisper in my ears gently.

I looked at him and gave him a sweet smile.

“Yes, I’m excited!”

I turned my attention to where the plane will land.

He let out a long sigh before sitting down next to me, so I glanced at him again.

My hand landed on the hard surface of his hip and looked up at him calmly.

“Peter, I’m okay.” I smiled at him again.

He leaned closer to me. His large manly hand settled on my cheek.

“I know you’re not.” He looked at me with his pale blue eyes. I know he was not happy with my sudden decision. He tried to stop me a few times, but I dared to leave the country.

That same night after Elliesse and I talked, I booked a flight to France. After all, there is no reason for me to stay there.

“Elliesse . . .”

I stiffened from where I was standing because of the kind of look she showed to me.

“Is my fiancé there?” she straightforwardly asks.

I swallow. I cannot answer immediately. I feel like I’m a mistress caught in his wife’s actions.

I close my eyes for a second and breathing in steadily. “Yeah, he’s asleep.”

I saw how her eyes glazed over at what she heard. Her lovely sweet jelly face is turning to be a real monster.

“How dare you?!” she spat out.

She was about to step in and tried to get inside, but I quickly blocked my body.

Her brows draw apart, and I’m sure her blood began to boil.

I confidently crossed my arms around my chest, and I lift my chin in front of her.

“As far as I know, this is not your room,” I say steadily.

“How dare you spout that nonsense?! Who are you to stop me? My fiancé is inside, did you hear? My fiancé!” She emphasized the word with a louder voice, attracting the attention of other people.

I laugh a bit, not wanting to send feelings. I arranged for us, towering her with my height.

She looked up slightly at me because of my height. I secretly celebrated her withdrawal, but she did not want to lose as I knew she was ready to fight.

“Just your fiancé . . . heard it?” I say, then I throw her a mocking laugh.

I saw her eyes narrow even more at what I said. She was shaking in anger. At any moment, I thought she would start a fight, but I did not move. I do not even move an inch. I showed that I could fight her.

“You don’t know what you’re saying because even if you love each other, he will still choose me in the end because the ace is mine!” she said in a rough voice.

I frowned at what I heard, “What do you mean?”

My heart started pounding because she didn’t seem to be joking with what she was saying.

“I’m pregnant!”

I held my breath for a long time as I waited for the pain to subside. A minute ago, I was ready to fight her, but now, my knees suddenly soften.

She raised her head and looked at me full of sarcasm. “You heard it. I’m pregnant. You probably won’t want to lose the father of the child I’m carrying, right?” she said sarcastically.

I soak up her words for a beat second. My heart soared. I can barely summon the energy to deal with her.

“Aside from that, we hold the biggest share in their company. Simple as it is! If the marriage does not continue, I can easily withdraw my share, and their company can lose everything!”

I instinctively close my mouth and swallowed her word, leaving my heart aching. So, this is it. I’m done.

Whether I want to fight for my rights is not possible. I was devastated, and I feel raw. All the plans I had for my future child with Lawrence suddenly came to naught because of what I heard.

Is there nothing more painful here? Am I at my limit? Can I still endure the pain?

I took a deep breath to stop the tears from forming in my eyes. And I succeeded. I still composed myself in front of her while wearing a smirk on her face.

“So, if I were you, you better get out of my sight. Forever!” she said with finality.
