startled, Emma sat up from her bed. "Who are you?"
The hoarse voice on the other end was still asking for help, "H--help me..."
"Lily?"
"Mm..." Lily struggled to respond.
"Aren''t you with Holden Payne? Aren''t you pregnant with his child? what happened to
you?"
Meanwhile, Lily was locked inside a cell and her lips were so dry that the skin was peeling.
Had she known that she would end up like this, Lily would have never gone to Holden for
help. She had thought that he would keep her around for the sake of the child in her belly,
but she had underestimated his viciousness. 2 Holden had gone from South City to Kidon
City before Axel sent him overseas by ship merely three months ago with Sean and Rose''s
retirement fund. Sean had wanted to send Holden to Europe so that he could extend his
career with his sharp mind, but Holden changed his path halfway. He did not go to Europe,
but instead went to the Middle East.
The Middle East was gued with wars and no one with an ordinary mindset would decide
to go there, but for someone as bold and fearless over losing his life as Holden, the war
zone provided him the perfect opportunity to utilize his talents.
Holden had great judgment and had chosen to settle down on one of the inds near the
borders that was closest to the country.
Because of the constant warring, it had only cost Holden a small fortune to purchase the
ownership of the ind. With the ind as foundation and the ocean behind him, all he
needed to do was to train his team to a certain strength and he would be able to realize his
ambition in the future.
Holden was incredibly experienced in managing inds from a young age. Back on Star
Ind, his eldest brother, Harry, was not capable at all and all operational matters had
been managed by Holden. All that had changed was that he was on a different ind, but
his management skills were still there.
With his extraordinary wit and vicious personality, Holden managed toplete a few
enormous trades and recruited a team of mercenaries in the midst of war, consisting of
people that were experienced inbat and were reluctant to suffer any longer in the war.
They all agreed as soon as they heard about the great benefits that Holden offered. Within

two months, Holden had be a king of his own kind, and that was when Sean and
Rose sent Lily over to him out of the blue.
Sean and Rose were the only two who knew where he was and Holden did not have a clue
as to why those two would send Lily over. Was she here to be his punching bag during
training? Did they not know that he disliked this woman?
What surprised him most was when Rose told him, "Holden, Lily is pregnant with your
child. II
Holden''s eyes widened, "she? she is pregnant with my child?"
Rose deadpanned. "Holden, you have been wandering overseas and it''s already
considered not bad for you to even have a wife. Not to mention the fact that Lily''s father
all over Kidon city, and their business has grown in incredible scale, so marrying Lily- - "
Holden interrupted her and asked, "What I am asking is how did she get pregnant with my
child?"
"My son, how could you not know that you had a one-night stand with Lily?" she responded
earnestly. “I counted the days; it''s about that time."
"..." Holden was at a loss for words. After hanging up, he sneered. It was from that time?
Both of them had been acting on impulse.
That woman, Lily, had been too aggressive and he had drunk two to three bottles of liquor
that night because of his background. He had been drunk to the point that he wasn''t even
conscious. Wouldn''t they worry about the baby having Fetal alcohol syndrome over a
pregnancy that urred under the influence of alcohol? That aside, he had no feelings
towards Lily at all to begin with. On top of that, they even had a grudge! Why would Lily
she some locked-away conservative country girl?
