The Woman From Hell

"No, I couldn't tell!" After he said that, he lowered his head and bit me hard on the lips.

He was heavy-handed all of a sudden and it hurt, so I shouted angrily, "Theo, are you an idiot? Can't you see that he's spouting nonsense and deliberately trying to make you angry? I can't believe you're the president of a big company yet let someone push you around like a foolish king."

Clearly, I was the one who caught him having lunch with someone. However, now it was him calling me out. I felt aggrieved and looked up at him, staring fiercely.

He laughed and lowered his head again, whispering beside my ear in a deep voice, "Since you say that I'm a foolish king, I won't disappoint you."

After he said that, he picked me up and put me on the bed. He looked at me from above. "I shall excuse you from the death penalty, but you’ll live a sufferable life. Your punishment is to serve me well.”

Without waiting for my answer, he kissed me lightly.

"No, the doctor said we need to be gentle with the baby.

"The doctor said that the fetus has gone through several dangerous events and that special care needs t NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

o be taken in the later stage of pregnancy."

It was true. The last time I went for a maternity checkup, the doctor specifically mentioned that it would be a critical time during my second trimester and I should have less intercourse.

My understanding was that we were not to have intercourse at all.

He looked at me with a deep expression. He stared at me as his thin lips slightly parted. "Is that what she said? Should I call and ask?"

"If you don’t mind, go ahead and ask." I stared at him, unafraid. I was sure that he would not call the doctor specifically for this.

He rolled over, sat up on the bed, and took out his phone when my phone rang.

I looked at the caller ID on the phone on the bedside table. It was Tyler. My heart tightened instinctively as I glanced at Theo a little sheepishly.

He frowned, and his eyes looked darker than before. Obviously, he had seen Tyler's name as well.

The phone kept ringing. Not answering it felt like I was making the elephant in the room bigger, so I braced myself and got out of bed. I picked up the phone and was about to go outside to answer it.

"Answer it here," Theo said, his voice sounding a little eerie and domineering.

"Theo, I have the right to privacy." I looked at him.

Even though it was just a phone call, I resented how domineering he was being.

"I always answer the phone on speakerphone when I'm with you. Out of fairness, you should do the same.” He was unmoved and said matter of factly, even reaching out to answer the call on speakerphone. 1

I was speechless, but the call was already connected. I could not say anything else to him. The only thing I could do was pray silently that Tyler would not say anything strange or else I would not be able to explain myself.

"Mr. Schuman? What is it?" Without waiting for Tyler t o speak, I took the lead. I was polite and formal.

I could see Theo's face soften compared to earlier, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can I only call you when there's something important?" Tyler's voice came through. He sounded a s languid as ever and with a bit of frivolity. "Have dinner with me tonight."

His tone was domineering, leaving no room for discussion. He was merely informing me, which was the same as how Theo was like.

I was a little upset and immediately refused. "I'm busy and don't have the time. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up now."

I was about to hang up the phone when Tyler's slow, low voice came through, "Even Jerome is coming back here. Were you just going to hide it from me?"

I was stunned and subconsciously looked at Theo. His brows were furrowed tightly as he pursed his thin lips. His eyes darkened a few shades compared to just now.

"There's nothing for me to talk about.”

"Wandy, I know everything about you. There’s no need for you to hide anything from me. I even know why Jerome left this place back then.”
