Billionaire’s Mistress

Chapter41



The driver got off the car, glanced at the door number and walked inside.

Seeing this, I walked forward and asked, “who are you?”

“Excuse me, is this Mr. Edmund’s home?” The driver asked.

I nodded, “who’s that?”

The driver said, “I’m the driver of Miss Fisher’s house. The wedding photos of her and Mr. Edmund have come out. Miss Fisher asked me to send them to the house of Mr. Edmund.”

When I heard the three words “wedding photos”, my heart suddenly sank, and an indescribable pain spread in my heart.

“Miss? Miss? Where should I put it?” The driver said.

When I came to my senses, I pointed to the room and said, “put it in the living room.”

The driver took the huge wedding dress out of the car and put it on the wall of the living room.

I have no idea when the driver left.

? My attention was all attracted by this exquisite wedding photo in front of me.

Under the ancient and elegant castle of the middle ages, the setting sun dyed the sky red. A couple stood together by the lake, with a happy smile on their faces.

Before that, I still had a glimmer of hope that Edmund could give up the engagement and choose to marry me. When I saw this photo, I completely understood that there was no other possibility between him and me except separation.

At the same time, I also realized that he was busy these days for the upcoming wedding.

I was heartbroken, but it was strange that I couldn’t cry.

I took out my phone and dialed a number.

“It’s me. You said you would marry me that day. Is that true?”

Edmund’s POV

The old house was brightly lit and bustling.

The marriage in this century caused a sensation in the city.

The three streets outside the mansion were full of reporters.

After the wedding ceremony in the afternoon, I went back to my room to change my clothes and was about to go to the dinner party in the evening. Oarlan walked over from the side with her mobile phone in her hand. “Mr. Brian, I just called Miss Leanna, but no one answered. Do you think she might have watched the news and taken things too hard…”

I changed into another formal suit and ordered, “call again.”

Oarlan called Leanna several times, but no one answered.

“Go to the apartment right now and find her. Look after her and make sure she is safe and sound.” I’m a little flustered.

If she really dares to hurt herself, I will teach her a lesson.

“Okay, I’ll do it right away.” Oarlan turned around and left the room at once.

Myrna came in at this time, “Edmund, what’s wrong with you?”

I didn’t want her to find out that I was in a bad mood, so I frowned and put on a gentle expression. “It’s okay. You change your clothes. Let’s go out.”

Myrna smiled sweetly and held my arm. “Edmund, thank you. My parents are so happy today. They can finally rest assured. My uncle and uncle can finally give up.”

I didn’t say anything. I just patted the back of her hand and said, “let’s go.”

……

In the hall of the first floor, guests gathered and the atmosphere was warm.

Standing at the bottom of the stairs, the emcee announced to everyone with a microphone in an impassioned voice, “next, let’s give the warmest applause to welcome our protagonists today, Mr. Edmund and Miss Myrna.”

When the music started, Myrna and I walked down the stairs.

All of a sudden, the people downstairs were amazed.

All of a sudden, the guests were in an uproar. I looked up and saw Eugene in a brand new suit at the gate.

Beside him stood a young and beautiful woman.

When I saw her face clearly, I was furious.

Leanna’s POV

Eugene turned to look at me with a gentle expression. “Leanna, don’t be nervous. Follow me.”

I nodded slightly, took a deep breath, raised my head, and followed him forward. Inadvertently, I met a sharp gaze from the center of the hall.

He stopped and looked at me in astonishment and shock.

How could it be?

Edmund, Eugene

They were actually two brothers?

Oh my God! What am I doing?

These two people both have the surname King. Why haven’t I thought that there might be some relationship between them?

I lowered my head, trying to escape from this absurd meeting, but my hand was grabbed by Eugene beside me. “Leanna, let’s go. I’ll introduce my parents to you.”

I don’t know how to react in front of so many people.

Eugene forcibly took her to a middle-aged couple and an old man. He introduced, “Grandpa, dad and mom, this is Leanna, my wife.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst into an uproar.

“What day is it today? The King family and the other two get married at the same time.”

“Oh my God! I was thinking about the two prominent figures just now. Now, even the two prominent figures have their own names.”

“……”

I raised my head and looked at Edmund. His eyes were like a knife with cold light It hurt so much that I could hardly breathe.

“Leanna, say hello to Grandpa and mom.” Eugene reminded me.

When I came to my senses, I endured the sharp pain in my heart and bowed obediently to the three elders in front of me. “Grandpa, uncle, aunt, nice to meet you.”

Rudolf, Eugene’s father, was also shocked. He looked me up and down and said in a low voice, “it’s not like that. Why did you cheat on us to get married?”

“I didn’t mean to carry you on my back. I didn’t mean to give you a surprise.” Eugene said with a doting look, wrapping her arms around my waist.

Eugene’s mother was also scrutinizing me. She looked at me with a serious expression and said, “Miss Leanna, right? Who is your father and what kind of business does your family do?”

“Mom, let’s not talk about this now. Today is elder brother’s big day. I go to congratulate him first.” Eugene interrupted her and pulled me towards the center of the hall.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

My mind is in a mess now. My heart is beating fast, and my face is pale. Cold sweat is dripping from my back.

At this time, Edmund was surrounded by a crowd of people, congratulating his wedding one after another.

Myrna waved to us and said, “Eugene, you’re finally here.”

Eugene took me to them with a happy smile on his face. “Brother, Myrna, I’m sorry. I’m late.”

“It doesn’t matter.” With a smile, Myrna looked around and teased, “Eugene, is this beautiful lady your girlfriend?”

“No.” Eugene shook his head and looked at Edmund with a smile.

“Not girlfriend? Then?” Myrna seemed to be interested and asked.

With a mysterious smile, Eugene glanced at me and said, “let me introduce to you solemnly. This is Leanna, my wife.”

“What? Wife?” Myrna asked in disbelief, “when did it happen? We didn’t know it. Besides, Miss Leanna, aren’t you Edmund’s butler?”

Hearing what Myrna said, Eugene looked at me curiously. “Oh? Really? Are you my brother’s butler?”

I’m completely stunned there. I don’t dare to look up at them or breathe heavily.

Edmund’s eyes were so frightening that even if I didn’t look at his face, I could feel that I was being stared at by him.

“No… I’m sorry. I want to go to the bathroom. Excuse me.” I didn’t dare to stay in front of him. After saying that, I turned around and walked towards the corridor.

Eugene’s POV

Looking at her back, I smiled apologetically. “Don’t mind. She is pregnant, so she goes to the bathroom frequently.”

“Pregnant? Really? Congratulations! I didn’t expect you to be so quick.” Myrna said happily.

However, when brother heard the words”pregnant”, he turned around and walked silently towards the direction where Leanna had left.

“Edmund, where are you going?” Myrna asked immediately.

“Elder brother might be drunk today and want to go to the bathroom.” I laughed and raised the glass of wine in my hand to propose a toast to Myrna. “Myrna, oh, no, it’s time to call you sister-in-law. Happy wedding to you and Kirk.”

“Thank you, too. Happy wedding.” Myrna clinked glasses with me and smiled brightly.

Leanna’s POV

I stood by the sink and retched.

What happened just now made me feel like I had gone to hell.

What a coincidence?

But Edmund was Eugene’s brother?

What should I do in the future?

How could I face the change of status with Edmund?

Holding up the cold water in the tap, I wanted to wash my face to calm down, but I heard a scream outside the door.

Out of curiosity, I turned around and walked to the door. When I reached out to open the door, I bumped into a warm chest.

I raised my head and saw Edmund’s gloomy face.

I was frightened by his sudden appearance. I took three steps back in a row and leaned against the wash basin with my back.

He approached her step by step, closed the door and locked it.

“What… What are you doing?” I’m afraid of him, especially when I can clearly feel his anger.

He didn’t answer me. His cold eyes were like searchlights, staring at my flat belly.

Noticing his gaze, my heart shrank in an instant. I covered my belly with my hands subconsciously and looked at him with a pair of eyes full of fear.

His voice was cold and emotionless. “Whose child is it?”

Child?

Does he finally know that I’m pregnant?

Looking at his gloomy and terrible face, his expression tells me that he cares about who the child’s biological father is.

But he is not qualified to question me?

I smiled ironically, “who do you think it is?”

“I’m asking you!” He was really angry. He grabbed my neck and said coldly.

I obviously feel that I can’t breathe. My neck is pinched so hard that I can’t breathe. It hurts so much.

I frowned, but didn’t beg for mercy. Instead, I laughed even louder, with tears of disappointment in my eyes.

“You want to know? Then I’ll tell you, the child is your brother’s. it has nothing to do with you.” I gritted my teeth, glared at him and said word by word in a hoarse voice.

After a long while, he loosened his grip on my neck and looked straight into my eyes. He opened his mouth and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Leanna, is this the way you use to revenge on me for not marrying you?”

I took two deep breaths, but my lips were slightly pale. Enduring the tears in her eyes, “revenge? Edmund, you think too highly of yourself. For me, you are just an ATM from beginning to end. The reason why I want to marry you is that you can give me money to satisfy my rich life.”

He raised his hand and pinched my chin hard. Staring at me with his cold black eyes, he warned, “say it again!”

“It doesn’t matter if you say it one hundred times. Edmund, you should be glad that I met your brother and had his child. Otherwise, do you think you can get rid of me so easily?” I told the cruel truth in an extremely ironic tone.

Looking at his angry face, I suddenly felt happy.

Edmund, you taught me how to fight back.

The pain I give you now is less than 1/10 of what you give me.

“How much did he give you?” He asked.

I didn’t know how to answer him.

“Don’t you just want money? Tell me, how much money can buy your life?” He gritted his teeth.

“You want to buy it? I smiled.” unfortunately, I’m tired of you. ”

“Really?” A cruel smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He grabbed my shoulders with both hands and turned me over directly. My back was against him, and the upper part of my body was on the wash basin. He lifted up the hemline of my dress.

“Edmund, what are you doing? Let go of me!” I was so scared that I screamed and struggled hard.

“Shout louder. You’d better let everyone outside hear you!” He threatened me behind my back.

I shut up immediately.

Yes, I can’t. this is the King family. There are so many guests outside. If anyone knows what happened between me and Edmund, I don’t care about my face. But what about Eugene?

What should he do?

I’m here as his wife today.

Closing my eyes, I gave up struggling and bent over the wash basin. “Edmund, I hate you!”

“Leanna, me too!” He responded.

Eugene’s pov

Leanna has been in the bathroom for a long time. I was worried about her, so I went to find her.

When I arrived at the door of the bathroom, I saw the door was opened from inside. Leanna walked out of the bathroom with a trembling face. Her makeup was completely gone and her face was as pale as paper.

“Leanna, what’s wrong? Are you okay?” Seeing this, I immediately stepped forward and reached out to hold her. He glanced at the corner of her dress and found that it was torn open.

When she saw me, her legs became weak and she fell directly into my arms. She grabbed my arms tightly and begged, “please take me out of here. Please.”

I held her in my arms, took off my coat and tied it around her waist to cover her torn dress. Then I lifted her up horizontally and walked to the other end of the corridor.

I left the side door of the mansion with her in my arms. Except for the few servants of the King family, no one noticed our departure.

After leaving the mansion and getting on the car, Leanna sat on the passenger seat, still trembling.

Seeing the fear on her face, I asked worriedly, “Leanna, what’s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Do you want to go to the hospital?”

She suddenly burst into tears.

I opened my mouth to comfort her, but I didn’t know where to start. In the end, I just patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.

She cried for a long time. It was not until she exhausted all her strength that she gradually calmed down. “I’m sorry… I just can’t help it for a while…”

“The baby in your belly is Edmund’s, isn’t it?” I looked straight ahead and asked in a low voice.

Her expression froze, her nose twitched, and tears were about to fall down again.

I turned to look at her and promised, “don’t worry. Now you are my wife. I will protect you like a husband protecting his wife. I won’t let you suffer any harm.”

“Why? Why are you so good to me?”

With a faint smile, I pushed her messy hair away and said gently, “because you are my woman now. If I don’t treat you well, who should I treat well?”

Leanna’s POV

His answer was so natural and righteous.

For a moment, I felt as if I and Eugene were a normal couple, and Eugene’s care for me really came from the love of a husband.

Seeing that I was absent-minded, he frowned and asked, “why don’t you believe me?”

I shook my head and wiped the tears on my face. “Don’t you really mind the matter between me and your brother?”

“Why should I mind? He is him, I am me.” He said frankly, “what’s more, I’m different from him. At least, I can’t abandon him all the time.”

He had never given up!

This word can’t be more accurate to describe the relationship between Edmund and me.

“Thank you, Eugene.” I don’t know how to repay him except saying thank you.

Fortunately, I met him. Otherwise, I really don’t know how to continue my life.

……

That night, Eugene took me back to the Silver Garden of The King family.

It was said that The Silver Garden was the dowry of the King family, which was also the granny of Eugene, when she married into King family.

Eugene’s grandmother loved her two sons Rudolf very much when she was alive, so before she died, she gave her favorite The Silver Garden to her two sons.

Rudolf, on the other hand, was cunning and selfish, and had never been liked by old master. After Granny’s death, he drove his family out of the mansion and moved to The Silver Garden.

When Eugene took me back home, Mr. and Mrs. Rudolf were still at the dinner party at the mansion and didn’t go home.

So after greeting the housekeeper, I was taken directly to Eugene’s bedroom.

Different from the simple style of Edmund’s bedroom, Eugene’s bedroom looked full of literature.

Although it was a bedroom, there was a bookshelf on the whole wall, on which there were all kinds of literature in various languages, which was amazing.

On one side of the bedroom was the balcony, and even on the balcony, there were bookshelves. Beside the bookshelf, there were some delicate potted plants, and in the center of the balcony was a deck chair.

I can imagine the scene that Eugene made a pot of tea and lay here reading on a sunny spring and autumn afternoon.

“Are you satisfied with your new room?” He pulled me to a chair and asked.

“My new room? What about you?” I looked at him strangely.

“Me? Of course I want to sleep here.” He looked at me with a smile.

“How about I sleep in the guest room?” It was too embarrassing and awkward for a man and a woman to stay in the same room.

But as soon as I proposed, he said lazily, “on our wedding night, my wife left her husband alone in the wedding room and went to sleep in the guest room. If my parents know this, guess what will happen?”

I forgot that I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with him this afternoon to get our marriage license. Legally, we are a legal couple now.

“Then make a bed on the ground. I’ll sleep on it.” I thought for a while and said.

“You are pregnant. If I let you sleep on the ground, will I abuse a pregnant woman?”

She couldn’t let him sleep on the ground?

After all, he is the real owner of this room. Besides, he and I pretended to be a couple not for one or two days. I can’t let him sleep on the floor for a long time. Then I will be a shameless woman.

“Well, I won’t make fun of you anymore. Just sleep on this big bed.” Then he stood up and walked to the bookshelf.

“What about you?” As soon as I asked, he picked up a remote control from the bookshelf and gently pressed the direction of the wall. He saw the originally made bookshelf move aside, and there was a room inside.

“I like reading here in winter. It’s quiet, bright and warm.” He walked in and turned to me.

I didn’t expect that there would be another world in this bedroom. When I walked to the door and stretched my head in, I saw the Japanese tatami structure, with a soft cashmere cushion on it. There was a small red wood table on the tatami, on which there was a small and exquisite orchid.

A pile of pillows were placed at one end of the tatami. I can imagine how warm and secure it is to stay in such a warm place and read my favorite books in a snowy winter.

“Can you rest assured now? ” Then he pushed me to the door of the bathroom and said, “now, you go inside to take a shower and then have a rest.”

I nodded, but there is one question that makes me hard to answer.

I didn’t bring any clothes with me. What should I wear to sleep after taking a shower?

Eugene seemed to have seen through my doubts. She pulled me to one of the wardrobe doors and opened it. “Here are all your clothes. I don’t know your specific size, so I bought you a few sets of the smallest. I don’t know if you like them or not. You can try them on first. I’ll take you to the street to buy your favorite tomorrow.”

Looking at the beautiful clothes hanging inside, I was stunned.

“When did you prepare these?”

“The afternoon you called me.” He smiled and patted me on the shoulder. “Well, go to take a shower. There are towels in the bathroom. They are clean and disinfected. You can rest assured to use them.”

It seems that he has considered everything for me. I looked at him gratefully, took a pair of pajamas and went to the bathroom.

Edmund’s POV

It was late at night when the guests left.

When I walked in from outside, Myrna immediately ran to me, grabbed my arm and pointed at the big bed. “Edmund, there is only one bed. How can we sleep?”

“You sleep.” After these two words, I walked to the wardrobe, took off my formal clothes, changed into a casual suit, and turned to walk out.

“Are you going out?”

“Okay.” I answered yes, opened the door and went out.

When I came out of the mansion, Oarlan had already parked the car at the gate and waited for me.

After I got in the car, Oarlan started the car and said cautiously, “Mr. President, we’ve found her and are waiting for her in the villa. But I’ve asked him before, and he said that he didn’t know about Leanna and the two prominent figures. I’m thinking that maybe the two prominent figures have used some means to make Leanna marry him, or maybe…”

“Really?” I looked up at Oarlan.

Oarlan lowered his eyes immediately.

The car left the mansion and headed for the villa.

Half an hour later.

The car drove into the garage of the villa.

I walked into the house with a long face.

As soon as I entered the room, i smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Kerr sleeping on the sofa drunkenly.

“I’ll wake him up right away,” said Oarlan

Then he walked quickly to the sofa and pushed Kerr’s arm. “Mr. August, wake up.”

“Wake up!” I sat down on the sofa opposite, crossed my legs and said mercilessly.

Hearing this, Oarlan turned around and went to the kitchen to get a small glass of water. I poured it directly on Kerr’s sleeping face.

All of a sudden, the drunk Kerr was splashed with cold water.

“Are you awake?” I said coldly.

“Mr. Edmund, you’re back…” he said with a fake smile on his face.

Oarlan threw him a towel and said, “dry your face before talking to Mr. Edmund.”

Kerr took the towel and wiped his face. Then he asked with a smile, “Mr. Edmund, where is… Leanna? Why didn’t I see her?”

“That’s exactly what Mr. Edmund wants to ask you.” Oarlan said, “your daughter is a good woman. She coaxed Mr. Edmund on the one hand, and on the other hand, she hooked up with another man. Is this how your family goes?”

“What… What? Another man?”.

“You really don’t know, or do you want to get both sides benefits just like your daughter?” Oarlan continued to deceive him with a cold face.

Kerr rolled his eyes and said immediately, “Mr. Edmund, I really don’t know about it. How about this? You give me two days to figure it out and I’ll give you a satisfactory reply then.”

“What if your reply doesn’t satisfy me?”

“Then I’ll tie her up in front of you and let you do whatever you want.” He gritted his teeth and promised.

“Do you know the consequences of lying to me?”

“No… No. Mr. Edmund, don’t worry. I promise I will keep my word. If I can’t do it, I will be hit to death by a car when I go out.” He raised his hand and swore.

“Good.” I waved my hand and said to Oarlan, “see the guest out.”

“Mr. August, please.” Oarlan gestured to the door and sent him out.

The living room suddenly became quiet. I leaned back on the sofa and looked back. My eyes fell on the ceiling and slowly closed.

Oarlan, who came back, thought for a moment and whispered, “Mr. President, it’s already early in the morning. You must be tired today. Why don’t you go back to the mansion and have a rest first?”

“I’ll stay here tonight. You can leave now.” Opening my eyes, I stood up from the sofa and said.

“Well…” Oarlan hesitated for a moment and reminded, “you have to accompany Miss Fisher to serve tea to [old master] and his wife tomorrow morning. I’m afraid…”

I’m upset now. I don’t want to go anywhere. I just want to be alone.

Oarlan continued, “what’s more, if Leanna really gets the marriage certificate, I’m afraid that the people from the two bedrooms will come tomorrow morning…”

“Go back to the mansion!”
