“I will assemble the two other people. We will go tonight. ” She said and the car became silent.
............
It has been freaking three days Ray stepped his leg in the mansion and it was beginning to annoy her.
Was he going to take such trivial matters to his heart? Can he not understand she was just being emotional with her words?
She stomped her feet on the bed and screamed out throwing the fluffy pillows from the bed to the floor.

“You! If not you I would not be locked up in this mother fucking house!” She pointed to her stomach which had a little bump.
Since the bump came out, Miss Naomi refused her to go out and made her stay either in the living room or bedroom.
She became a living corpse in the Ling Mansion and it pissed her off. Not able to do anything about it, she could only murmur or stump her feet.

“Humph!” She bounced on the bed back and stretched her leg. This baby was a tough one always demanding food and sleep.

“Look! You demand too much just for a little fetus!” Pissed off, she got down from the bed and opened the closet.
She made up her mind to escape from this lonely tower and see the outside world.
She picked up a black striped shirt and loose pants along with a flat shoe. Packed her hair in a ponytail and smiled.

“Operation escape is ready!” She encouraged herself and tripped on a black box and she fell to the ground.

“Ouch!”
She gripped her stomach and got up. Luckily, there was no damage to the baby or she would be dead.

“Who keeps a large black box on the ground in my closet?” She pushed it open and found tons of pictures of a woman in the box.

“Could it be?” She gasped and held her mouth open. Is Ray a pervert?
It could not be. He could have all the women in the world and no one could stop him yet there were tons of the same woman face in the box.

“Audrey?” She read the name written on a little pink note. “The one who died last five years?”

“Who exactly is this woman and are her pictures here?” Alexa could not hold herself from asking such a question.
If truly there was a hidden truth about this woman and why Miss Naomi refuted to tell her who exactly she was to Ray.

“Audrey?”
She repeated the name once more. The only person she knew that had such name was an annoying model in the past which died from suicide.
Apart from her, she had no idea of who this woman could be. Brushing off the idea, she picked up her LY handbag and sneaked through the back door.

“Mrs Hudston, it is time to see the physician. Do you want to go now?” Miss Naomi knocked on the door, waited for a response and when she did not get anyone, she barged into the room and found it totally empty.

“Damn it! ” She cursed and turned around. Why was this young lady giving her a fuss? She was just made to follow her boss's rule!
Miss Naomi took her cell phone and dialed Ray's number.

“The young Miss is gone ”
She reported after the call went through.

“Just make sure she is guarded ” He cut the call and stood up from the business meeting he was having. He tugged his hands into his pocket and walked out of the restaurant and into his Rolls Royce.
Plugged his keys, he drove to her spotted location and parked in the lot. He silently waited for her and saw her car reversing.

“Finally! Freedom!” Alexa breathed out and adjusted her side mirror to make sure she was not followed by any of his men.
She pushed open the door, came down and licked the door putting the key in her vintage handbag.

“Where are you going?”
Alexa froze on the spot with her hands trembling. She slowly turned around with her face sweating to meet the devil himself.
She gulped hard and watched him from a short distance. His long feet rested on the car door and his hair parted halfway covering his eyes.
His suit perfectly matched and so did his shot and watch. She looked away and turned to run when he swiftly held her hands and pinned her to the car.

“Going somewhere?” He titled his head, raised her two arms and placed on her car.
He carefully avoided the bump on the stomach and shifted to the left. He lifted her chin to his eye level.
Afraid to talk out loud, Alexa just gulped hard and stared at him. Her voice seemed to disappear at the close distance of them.
Luckily, it was a private venue and was free from paparazzi.
At last she had some courage and stuttered.

“Would.....you let me go?” She begged and hissed with the force he held her chin up. When he let go, she clutched her chin and rubbed them lightly.

“What? It is not like I ran away!.....I just wanted to have freedom!” She justified her actions.
Obviously no one wanted to be locked in a place. She had some training to attend to and had a lot of catching up to do concerning her modeling career.

“Freedom? I just said you are not allowed to leave the house, that is all.”
He let her have her space and held her hands. The little girl in his arms felt pitiful, maybe locking her up wasn't the best idea.

She shot a hot glare. Her fingers itched to tear off his funny face.

“Why are you angry?” Fuxin held himself from bursting into an unending laughter. “Shouldn't you be worried about what to tell the big boss?”
He came back to his serious mode.
“What do I need to tell him? That I was tricked all because of a kiss? Damn that sounds stupid!”
She ran her fingers through her hair. She could not think of anything else to make her justified.
This situation was just so troubling to her so she decided to rest.

“Tomorrow, we will be meeting with the big boss and make sure you don't speak about

this!” She ruffled her hair and ran upstairs. She needed sound rest to face the crises she had on her shoulders.

Next Day, In Olivia Apartment.
Yawning and stretching on the bed, Olivia laid tiredly on the bed and clutched to her stomach.
Her monthly flow as early as possible was already knocking on the door and didn't give chance for an option.
She rolled to the other side of the bed and grabbed the pillow tightly. Her hands were weak and exhausted. Her whole body felt like it had been crushed by a heavy train.

“Why this fucking period? Why now?” Olivia murmured with her fist clenched together.
Her phone beeped with a message. She looked at it and sighed. Her friend didn't have the time to babysit her son so she dropped him off at her house.

“Why today?!”
She screamed out loud in her head, stood up, went to shower and came downstairs.
She walked sluggishly to the kitchen where she sawAnthony with an apron on cooking.
Damn it! She forgot that she even had a male visitor at her house.

“You need to get going ”
She snapped at him, rushed to the kitchen and pushed him out to leave.

“But......I am still cooking ”
He held back. Was she that embarrassed having him around her? He frowned and arched his brows.

“Well....my house! I'll tell you when to leave!”
She snorted back but was very harsh. He gave up and headed towards the door when it opened.
A cute little boy standing with a blue traveling bag and a cartoon figure in his left hand. He gave a cute smile when he saw his mother.
Anthony observed the little boy and his bags. He resembled so much like Olivia and that even made it more cute.
His eyes brown, his hair curly and brown and had these little cute dimples Olivia had when she was small.
And yes that is right! He had little childhood images of her. He hopped inside the house and ran into the embrace of Olivia.
She squatted down and pinched his little cheeks.

“I hope you were not a bad boy when you were staying with aunty?”
She asked in a sweet voice. The boy shook his little head and smiled.

“I promise! I wasn't! You can ask her ”
He pouted his lips which made him even cuter.Anthony stood there like a zombie waiting to be introduced to him, however his little hope was broken.

“I trust you ”
She wiggled his arms in the air and planted a kiss on his forehead. The little boy's face brightened up and then tilted to the man standing next to him.

“Mommy? Is this my new father?”
Lionel excitedly jumps up and down. He heldAnthony fingers and smiled brightly.
His dimples stood dominant in his smile. Olivia held herself from choking.
New father? What has her friend been teaching him? She thought.

“You must be Lionel?” He squatted down to look at the boy. “I am Anthony ”
He introduced himself. His arms wrapped around the little boy.

“Are you in a relationship with my mommy?” He pouted his lips and shifted away from the man.
He stretched out his hands for him to be carried up. Olivia shot a ‘ shut your mouth ’ glare at him and he ran to the couch.
