Second Chance At Love

Chapter 17

The overpowering stench of bad breath assaulted Ada’s senses, causing her stomach to churn. She instinctively recoiled, gagging at the offensive odor.

The scar–faced man observed her reaction, and his scarred face darkened with displeasure. He seized her slender neck and lifted her off the ground. “What’s this? Now that you’ve landed yourself a wealthy man, you’re too good for me?”

Gasping for air, Ada vigorously shook her head. “Nol That’s not it at all. It’s just the morning sickness from your child, I would never disrespect you, Liam.”

Liam emitted a cold snort, planting aggressive kisses on her cheeks before releasing his grip. He forcefully pulled her toward the bed in the room. “Serve me well and keep me satisfied, or I’ll expose all your sordid secrets accumulated over the years, reducing you to nothing but a plaything for men.”

Submissively, Ada snuggled against Liam’s chest, her crimson lips tracing a path of kisses along his rugged neck as she playfully murmured, “When the old woman of the Wilson family cast me out of Cester City, I would have perished if it weren’t for your protection, Liam.”

“I believe in showing gratitude. After all, I’m carrying your child, aren’t I?” Ada continued, her tone sweet and coaxing, “Once I become Jason’s wife, we can join forces to gradually seize control of their assets, paving the way for our escape.”

Both of them understood the consequences if Alison were to discover Ada’s pregnancy, which is now more than two months along. It would utterly derail their dreams of attaining wealth.

Ada shot up from her reclined position, her voice laced with resentment. She declared, “That interfering old hag! Four years ago, she destroyed everything. Now she’s at it again. This time, I won’t let her get away with it.”

Unable to resist or vocalize her refusal, Ada felt trapped beneath him. As Liam’s hands roamed over her, Ada’s thoughts turned bitter. “Sophia, this is all because of you,‘ she silently seethed, clenching her fists in frustration. “I swear, I’ll reclaim everything and make you pay for

With a sharp motion, Alison slammed the photos onto the table, the sound reverberating through the room. “Eve, get Jason on the phone- Rmediately. He needs to see these photos.”

Ashadow fell across Eve Hill’s face upon hearing Alison’s orders. “In addition to contacting Mr. Wilson, should I also send someone to fetch Mrs. Wilson?” she asked tentatively.
