Chapter 2 She Remained Proud

The familiar clicking sound of high heels echoed along the hall with the pungent scent of perfume.

She was Cedric’s lover and the woman who had taken her eyes.

Natalie furrowed her brow in disgust. Before she could call for help, Isabella spoke first.

“Don’t bother calling for anyone; I’ve sent them all away.”

Her tone was triumphant.

“Why are you here?”

Natalie was anything but polite. She had lost everything, so what else could Isabella possibly want from her?

Isabella paid no heed to her attitude. She merely smiled and said calmly, “I’ve got some news for you. Well, I have good and bad news.”

Natalie remained silent and waited.

“You’re pregnant.”

Pregnant?!

Natalie’s face turned ashen in an instant.

Seeing this, Isabella grinned with satisfaction. “Of course, Ced has no intention of keeping this child! Because I’m also pregnant!”

Isabella was also pregnant?!
