Chapter 101 Is The Baby Yours (Part One)

When the other two men saw this, they were so scared that they nearly peed their pants.

"Let him go. He already stopped," Essie said, consoling the thin, tall man as she glanced towards him.

The tall man looked at Essie with gratitude.

"Fuck off," Zac growled before he let him go. The man rushed out and disappeared in a flash.

Zac turned to face towards Valery and with a face contorted with venomous rage, he growled, "Look straight into my eyes and don't you dare blink! If you do anything harm my woman again, I swear to you, by the time Baron comes to collect your dead remains, they would need DNA testing to figure out that the body belongs to you!"

Valery was clearly frightened and angry, but resorted to stamping her feet on the floor with her hands on her belly.

Essie was silent, but her deep black eyes glared at Valery coldly. Despite not uttering a single word, her eyes manifested a certain kind of void that was filled with gloom and emptiness.

They spent two days in the hospital, making sure that there were no other issues with Essie's body. Zac finally took her back to his villa by the bay to avoid any trouble from Finney.

During that whole period, Zac was dedicated to staying closely by her side. However, Essie did not say a single word throughout.

In the morning, he ordered his servants to prepare bird's nest congee to bring to her room.

He stayed by Essie's bed to make sure he could take care of everything for her. When she tried to get up, he wanted to help, but when he reached his hand out, Essie quickly pushed his hands away. "I wouldn't dare bother you, Mr. Zac!" she said, finally opening her mouth after two days of ominous silence. However, this time, her voice was alienated and cold.

There were four families of great power in Dragon City, these consisted of the families of Zac, Jim, Valery and Leila.

Amongst them, Zac's family was the richest in the East, and naturally this came with also having the most power amongst the four families.

Essie had spent months with this man thinking he was simply a poor hobo, and never expected that he was actually a rich, young master. The most shocking part, was that he was the fiancé of her half-sister, Valery.

In her youth, before she turned seven years old, she was born into a noble, upper class f

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

ut how her big brain had such erratic imaginations. However, his reasons were much more complex than that.

"You can ask anything else. I can answer all your questions, except about the child," he said, immediately changing the topic.

She was well aware that he was capable of hiding anything that he didn't want her to know, just like how he had concealed his true identity all this time.

The problem was that he didn't trust her enough.

The idea that he didn't trust her made her feel a bit heavy in her heart.

She finished her porridge and with her last sip, she drank some water silently.

After a lingering silence, she asked, "Do you like Valery?"

"Can't you tell?" he asked in response. He couldn't understand why she would ask such things as it was obvious how much he despised her.

She shrugged her shoulders. It was clear what he had meant, and she was satisfied with his answer, but she couldn't help but ask more.

"If you didn't like her, then why did you sleep with her?"

'Is it true that men only think with the lower half of their bodies? It seemed that they weren't capable of using their brain to solve such problems,' Essie pondered in the middle of their conversation.

Zac coughed several times to put some ease towards the uncomfortable atmosphere. He really wanted to let this dense woman know that she was the only woman he had been in bed with. He had dedicated and given himself only to her that night. However, it wasn't the time to tell her, as it would only indirectly reveal the child's secrets.
