Perfect Stranger

"No, don't..." The whimpering cries echoed from the bedroom. Sweat dripped from her forehead as she tried to escape from the man's grip, but she found herself overpowered by the weight of his body.

"Louisa! Louisa, wake up!" Susie Shu shook her roommate awake from her abysmal nightmare. As soon as she opened her eyes and saw Susie Shu, Louisa Xia threw herself into her arms and said, "Susie, I just had the worst nightmare!"

Ten months ago, in order to go abroad and take part in a show, Louisa Xia promised her younger sister to have a baby.

"Don't be afraid, Louisa. It's all going to be over soon. Look, the baby is coming. After you become a mother, all your attention will go towards the baby. You'll be too busy to worry about those nightmares again." Susie Shu lowered her head to look at Louisa's pregnant belly. She was nine months pregnant now and her due date was just few days later.

"Louisa, you need to take good care of yourself, especially now. You're going to experience prenatal depression and you don't want that to affect child birth. The doctors said that if pregnant women are not in good health before they give birth, they will face many difficulties during child birth. I'm sure you don't want to be in a lot of pain." Susie Shu clearly wanted to scare Louisa Xia.

"Susie, are you serious?" Sure enough, Louisa was convinced and her nervousness was evident from her facial expression.

The pain was what bothered her the most. What happened ten months ago had become a traumatic memory in her mind.

"Of course not, you little fool. My godson is very obedient, I can tell. He won't hurt you," said Susie.

With a sigh of relief, Louisa lay on the bed next to Susie. Although she felt a little relieved, a part of her still felt uneasy. Grabbing the sheet under her body, she prayed in her heart, 'Dear baby, you must be healthy and happy. I can't wait for you to come to this world. Mom loves you.'

Ten months ago, in Louisa's house.

"Mom, look! Why does that bitch get to have an invitation to the Hua Group's party, but I don't?" Justina Xia was clearly displeased with Louisa's invitation. Both she and Louisa were the heirs of the Xia family, but Louisa was better than her in every aspect. Louisa always got whatever she wanted before Justina did.

Meanwhile, slouched against the sofa, Nora Zhao had her own set of worries to deal with. With her beautifully painted eyebrows furrowed, she threw the newspaper onto the table angrily and said, "Are you still in the mood to care about Louisa? Why don't you take a look at your own problems first. Your fiance is becoming a massive headache for me."

Nora Zhao brought her palms to her temples and squeezed tight as if to show that she was in pain.
