Chapter 500
Richard grazed Maia’s earlobe with his lips as he spoke, “Mai, have you forgotten that Franche is the territory of the
Kingsley family? Even if you wanted to hire assassins, you should’ve done so through me.”
“The Kingsley family?” Under the influence of alcohol, she stopped before pushing him away.
‘That’s right. How did I forget about this?’ she thought to herself. ‘The Kingsley family has been slowly moving their
assets overseas across the years. Even the four most powerful families and other families in
Sapphire City can’t compare to the Kingsleys when it comes to connection and influence in Franche.’
She set her glass down and turned to throw herself into his arms, drawing circles on his chest. “Are you saying this
so that I’ll try to please you?”
“I just want you to be happy.” Richard breathed heavily as he palmed her waist. “Cedrick is with Catelyn now. Won’t
you stop thinking about them? I’ll love you forever.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaia’s eyes glittered with malicious intent, but she simply leaned into his embrace instead of saying anything. “Take
me.”
Richard gulped upon hearing this and lifted her up before pinning her against the wine cabinet.
A heavy scent of blood filled the room.
Just as Richard and Maia were indulging in pleasure, Maia felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen and felt blood
coursing down her thighs.
Richard seemed to have noticed it, too, and hurriedly carried her to the bed.
The crimson liquid stood out on her fair thighs, and Richard paled.
Maia reached her fingers to touch it and gaped. “Why is there blood?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll send you to the hospital right away-”
“Hang on.” Maia pulled him back, her eyes filled with fear. “I think my period has been a little late for a couple of
days.”
Delay in period and blood?
“Goodness, Mai, you could be pregnant!” Richard came to the sudden realization and frantically tried to dress her,
wanting to send her to the hospital despite how discomfited he looked.
“You can’t send me to the hospital.” Maia grabbed onto his arm with one hand and rested another on her lower
abdomen. “Get a doctor here. Remember; keep a low profile.”
Richard was displeased that Maia would care about such a thing when he desperately wanted the entire world to
learn that she was pregnant with his child. However, when he saw the way she looked at him pleadingly, he gave in.
The doctor arrived shortly after to check on her. As expected, she was indeed pregnant-two months in, even.
This must have happened during the time they sneaked around prior to Maia’s wedding with Cedrick. They tried
constraint but were both reckless at the same time.
Wanting to destroy her relationship with Cedrick, he had purposely not used protection multiple times.
Once the doctor was gone, Maia swung at Richard. “This is all your fault!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRichard’s cheek went completely numb. He continued staring at her stomach and consoled gingerly.” You’re
pregnant with my baby now, so don’t get too emotional. If you need to blow some steam off, I’m right here You can
scream at me or hit me all you want”
What a loser!
Maia laid back on the bed and refused to look at him, but she then seemed to have remembered something all of a
sudden,
I’m sorry, Richard. I didn’t do that on purpose. It’s just that getting pregnant right now is… All my plans are messed
up now,” Maia squeezed out her tears and bit her lip in the most innocent manner she could manage
Not wanting her to shed a single tear, he said, “I’ll marry you. I might not be as powerful as Cedrick, but I’ll make
sure that you have all the luxury at your expense.” “No, I have a better idea.”
