Upon the divorce, Bella Chase found out she'd been pregnant for three months. To hold ex-husband responsible? She then found he and his childhood sweetheart had already paired up. If that was the case, she would just raise the baby herself! Screw you, ex-husband! But she never thought that an accident forced her back to Dane Floyd's side and pretended to be his wife. Some day, Bella couldn't resist her morning sickness. Right after she turned around, she saw the man with a sullen face...
Italy.
Bella Chase arrived at the seven-star hotel where Dane Floyd was staying.
In the morning, Mrs. Floyd made a phone call and secretly told her the hotel and room number.
She said she's graduating soon, so she can use her free time to bond with Dane and give her a healthy great-grandchild.
Bella silently wrote it down, but she came with the divorce agreement.
She was able to marry Dane because her mother donated her organs two years ago to save the critically ill Mrs. Floyd.
Her mother wanted the Floyd family to take care of her for the sake of the marriage, preventing Bella's scumbag father and stepmother from marrying her off casually in exchange for a sky-high betrothal gift.
Dane was the heir to the Floyd family and a business tycoon with a net worth of 15 billion dollars.
And she was just a very ordinary girl.
But in order to reassure her mother, she agreed.
She had discussed it with Dane.
They agreed to get married, after which she went abroad to study. And they would find an excuse to divorce two years later.
Today was exactly the end of that period.
After the doorbell rang, Bella obediently stood by the door and waited.
After a while, the door opened from the inside.
Dane's handsome face appeared out of nowhere.
He was dressed in black, his eyebrows were sharp, and his aura was heavy and intimidating.
After two years of separation, Bella was still nervous when she saw him.
"Mr. Floyd, I'm here..."
"Bella Chase, it's you!" Dane gritted his teeth and bellowed.
He never thought that Bella would set him up.
Bella's heart tightened when she heard the anger in his tone.
Seeing that his forehead was covered with sweat, his shirt button was unbuttoned to the third one, and his face was unusually red.
Unlike when they first met. He was dressed in a suit, elegant and noble at that time.
Bella suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Did I come at the wrong time?"
There was a hint of awkwardness in Bella's eyes.
The aura around Dane became colder, and a dim light flashed across his eyes, which were just like deep pools.
"You came at the right time, of course."
Dane grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the room. At the same time, he slammed the door shut.
Bella felt her body being yanked forcefully into the dimly lit room, completely out of control.
When she hit the wall and felt dizzy, Dane's tall and sturdy body pressed against hers.
Like a mountain, heavy and hot...
"Mr. Floyd! What are you doing?"
Bella was pressed hard against the wall, and her leg was lifted by his hand.
She was trembling with fear.
What happened caught her off guard.
To her, Dane was an aloof and abstinent gentleman.
But at the moment, he was like a dangerous person who couldn't control himself!
"Dane Floyd, let go of me!"
Bella pushed his chest with her hands, trying to distance herself from him.
Dane seemed to have run out of patience from her non-cooperation.
He pressed one hand on her shoulder and looked down at her coldly.
"I thought you'd be a person who knows your own place. I didn't expect you to come to me so eagerly when the agreement expired. Huh?"
As soon as he arrived in Italy, he was drugged with the strongest drug.
Soon after his escape, she came to the door.
Who else could it be?
"Two years ago, you traded your mother's life for my wife's identity.
Now two years have passed. Do you want to use your body to secure it? Bella, you're so cunning."
"I'm not! I'm here to get a divorce. I brought the divorce papers with me. Calm down!"
Bella broke down and cried to explain to him.
She didn't. She really didn't.
She admitted that a perfect man like him would make people secretly fall in love with him.
But she was well aware of the gap between them.
During the two years of marriage, she never had any improper thoughts. Today was the only time she took the initiative to look for him.
Dane's heart softened for an instant when he heard her sobs.
"I brought the divorce agreement, really. Let's get divorced and I'll never appear in front of you again for the rest of my life."
Bella choked up and begged.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Her determination to divorce inexplicably upset Dane.
"It's not up to you!"
After saying that, he kissed Bella's lips with the smell of alcohol.
His hand smoothly lifted her skirt upwards.
The man who had always been gentlemanly no longer had his usual calmness.
...
Late at night, Bella woke up from the pain.
Looking at the sleeping man beside her, she remembered what he said.
In his eyes she was a vicious woman, who had no scruple in trading her mother's life for glory and wealth.
He had promised her to protect her, but now him was the one who hurt her the most.
After two years of marriage, they had never crossed paths before. On the day she came to divorce him, however, he had taken away her precious virginity.
Bella slowly got out of bed, picked up her clothes, and put them on. She took out the divorce agreement from her bag and placed it on the bedside.
She has already signed it.
Standing on the edge of the bed, looking at the cold man on it, Bella's red and swollen eyes reddened again.
Dane, let's go our separate ways after tonight.
I'll never see you again!
Bella took her bag and left. As soon as she left the room, the woman who walked out of the other elevator instantly returned to the elevator.
After Bella left, the young woman walked out, took out the room card she had prepared in advance, and opened the door to enter.
There was an amorous scent in the room. Zoie Garza looked at the sleeping man on the bed and gritted her teeth in anger.
She had taken a good deal of trouble to conspire with this rare opportunity. Unexpectedly, Bella beat her to it.
She was really pissed off!
She was terrified when she plotted against Dane.
But she was pregnant. It was that man's child!
He said he would destroy her if she got rid of his child.
Although Zoie was the adopted daughter of the Floyd family, she was imperative to become Mrs. Floyd.
That person was right. As long as she plotted Dane to be the father,
she might even be noble by her child!
After making up her mind, Zoie immediately dialed a mysterious number.
...
Three months later.
She thought that after that night, they would never see each other again after the divorce.
However, a phone call forced Bella to return to the Floyd residence.
Mrs. Floyd was feeling unwell and wanted to see her again.
After her mother passed away, there was no one else but Mrs. Floyd who would love her.
Maybe it was because Mrs. Floyd had a part of her mother.
Shortly after the international flight she was on took off,
Bella felt dizzy, nauseous, and kept vomiting.
The ten-odd hours of flight almost took Bella's life.
Because the symptoms were so severe, Bella was pushed off the plane by a flight attendant in a wheelchair.
After she got out, the ambulance took her straight to the hospital for a checkup.
In the examination room, the doctor took a look at the report.
"Ms. Chase, do you know you're pregnant?"
The doctor's words struck Bella, who was in a daze, like a bolt of lightning. She widened her eyes in shock and sat up straight.
"What? Pregnant?!"
Perhaps because she had sat too hard all of a sudden, Bella felt dizzy and fell back onto the bed.
"Yeah, almost three months."
Three months!
Bella's eyes were full of disbelief.
The only time she did it was with Dane three months ago!
