Chapter 500


    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’tpare to the Kingsleys when ites to connection and influence in Franche.’


    She set her ss 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.”


    Maia’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 cab.


    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 littlete for a


    couple of days.”


    Dy 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 difited 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 rtionship with Cedrick, he had purposely not used protection multiple times.


    Once the doctor was gone, Maia swung at Richard. “This is all your fault!”


    Richard’s cheek wentpletely 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!


    Maiaid 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 ns


    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.”
