When Felix returned home, he found the sprawling suburban house still ablaze with lights.
Carol was planted on the couch, lost in ssion the TV.
He draped his coat over the armchair and turned to the nanny with a question.
"Did she have dinner yet?" "Mrs. Brown wasn't feeling hungry," the nanny replied.
His gaze shifted to Carol. Even with his return, she didn't spare him a glance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA pang of sourness hit his heart, but he pushed it down and took a seat beside her.
"Why aren't you hungry?" "I wanted to call Maja about something." He shot a look to his assistant, who immediately fetched Carol's cell phone.
Clutching the phone, Carol stood up and walked to a quiet corner of the room.
A message from Nathan flashed on the screen - an auclip.
She furrowed her brow, turned the voldown low, and held the phone to her ear. Felix's voice, laced with an odd persistence and animosity, cthrough.
"I married her just to keep her tied to me, so I can torment her whenever I want. She can never be rid of me." Carol stared blankly at the screen; her fingers were stiff as she tried to type a response.
Nathan, noticing her 'typing' indication, hurriedly sent over a few more texts.
"That's what Felix spilled while he was drinking with me. In vino veritas, Carol. He really doesn't love you." Carol found it almost comical. She didn't need Nathan to tell her that.
She knew better than anyone that Felix didn't love her.
She lowered her lashes; initially she wanted to discuss with Maja her thoughts about eloping with Nathan, feeling uncertain about causing such a stir. But now, with the suspicion of being pregnant, she felt restless, fearing that if she didn't leave the next day, she might never get another chance.
She didn't want to remain shackled to a man whose only intent was revenge.
Moreover, she had thrown up again that evening, and the suspicion of pregnancy grew stronger.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat did Felix intend to do with the child? Was he planning to hand the baby over to Listina to raise after birth and then marry her? That was Felix's plan - calculating even a child into his schemes. He truly was ruthless.
But if he weren't ruthless, he would never have cthis far.
She didn't want any further entanglement with this devil of a man, nor could she risk the life growing inside her. Dropping her gaze, she paused, then sent Maja a message asking for a favor the next day.
She didn't divulge her plan to Maja, but she trusted that Maja would help her.
After sending the text, she returned to the couch and handed the phone back to him.
He tossed it aside and had the nanny bring over a tray of warm food.
"Try to eat something." Carol caught a whiff of the faint scent of alcohol on him and turned her head away.
He sniffed himself and promptly stood up, "I'll take a shower. You start eating, or I can join you afterwards." Seeing her reaction, Felix said nothing. He simply raised his hand and ruffled her hair.
She frowned and batted his hand away, disgusted by his recent overbearingly affectionate behavior. Such tenderness, she thought, was utterly misplaced on her.
