2023-06-26 10:23:16"Huh?"
He turned to her and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. He couldn't believe his ears.
What!? His wife offer to massage his hand? It's really hard to believe her statement because she'd never show him care as a wife ever since they've married as husband and wife.
He wouldn't believe her because it was a contract marriage. He didn't plan to but he didn't have choice since the Grandpa chose him for his first elder daughter.
"So what do you think?"her soft voice brought him out of his thoughts.
He looked up and swallowed the lump that formed in his throat. She is serious. He thought.
Although he's yet to recover from the shock, he nodded his head affirmatively to her statement.
"Yes…"though he wanted to speak firmly but his voice shook the moment he uttered the word.
He can't possibly lose the chance. A massage from his wife.
"Okay. Wait while I get the balm,"she said, stood up from the chair and walked to the cabinet on the floor.
He couldn't believe his eyes as she returned back with a balm in her palm.
Georgian, who noticed the look on his face, shook her head with a sigh.
She's not suprised that he looks shock by her change of behavior. She didn't understand also.
She can't explain why she suddenly want to be with him. She can't describe the feeling, it's something she couldn't understand.
"Bring your hand closer,"she sat on the wooden chair beside him and held his hand.
He watched her closely as she rubbed the substance gently on his left burned wrist.
He whined as she massaged the wrist with her palm. "Sorry,"his heart skipped a bit as she muttered the word.
He smiled inwardly as he stared at her intensely. He couldn't stop staring at her even though he tried to take his eyes away from her.
This is the first time he would ever be close with her, and this made his body react somehow.
His body shook subconsciously as she rubbed her soft hand on his wrist, a cold shiver ran down to his spine. Her contact made on his skin made him feel uneasy because he'd never be this close with her.
Although it's almost impossible, he wish there's more to their marriage than this.
He want her to see him as his real husband not for contract but for love.
"I'm done,"she said, exhaled and stood up from the chair.
"Thanks,"he muttered. He smiled inwardly as he stared at his wrist.
He wish she never stop massaging his wrist.
He wonder when he would ever be close to her.
He shrugged off the thoughts from his head as he stood up from the chair. He walked to his small wardrobe which was beside his wife gigantic closet.
She changes her wardrobe outfit every month while he manages the clothes he has been using for months.
He brought out thick blanket from tnt wardrobe and closed it. He yawned as he stood beside the bed.
He stopped abruptly when he was about to spread the blanket on the floor. She called him.
"What are you trying to do?"
He was confused by her question that he'd to raise his head and look at her. Why is she asking him such question?
"I want to sleep,"he replied, his hand at the hem of the blanket.
"You can't sleep on the floor,"she replied curtly, and he looked up.
"Huh?"he blinked his eyes.
"What do you mean?"he couldn't help but ask her that question because he has been sleeping on the floor while she sleeps on the bed.
So why is she permitting not to sleep on the floor? Does she want to send him out of the house in the middle of the night?
This disturbed his mind badly.
"I mean you… I think you should sleep on the bed with me…"she muttered, and he looked up in an instant.
"What!?" A soft gasped escaped from his lips.
He couldn't hide the shock anymore.
Few minutes ago, she massaged his wrist, and now she wants him to sleep on the bed with her for the first time.
What's wrong? What happened? Why does it seems like she suddenly changed?
"I mean it wouldn't be good to sleep on the bare floor especially with your injured wrist,"shw defended herself even though she knows her excuse wasn't genuine.
Smith couldn't help but stare at her intensely.
Georgia couldn't tell what's wrong with her. She just suddenly want him beside him. She crave for him. Even though she try to fight against the feeling but it seems almost impossible to resist it.
"Oh! Okay,"he agreed reluctantly even though it felt weird.
He climbed on the bed and lay on it. It feels so soft and succulent. He couldn't remember when last he'd slept on the bed.
He somehow found it out to sleep with his wife, Georgia, on the bed. His head was filled with different thoughts.

Next day
"This is the results for your test,"the doctor said as he stretched the white paper to her.
Regarding the look on his face, she collected the paper from him harshly. She gasped out in shock after reading the content of the paperwork.
What!
*PREGNANT TEST
POSITIVE*
She couldn't believe her eyes as she read the bold heading of the paper given to her.
How? That was the first question that came to her mind. She haven't had anything with any man after she married Smith.
She turned her gaze to her flat stomach.
"Congratulations Mrs Georgia,"
"You're going to be a mother very soon,"
Her heart shook in fear as she read the lips of the doctor.
She actually thought she'd lost her sense of reading until the doctor congratulated her.
"Are you sure the symptoms are for a pregnant woman?"she asked, finding it hard to believe the doctor.
"Of course, it is," he said, and her heart skipped in fear.
Her face turned pale and cold after getting the affirmation of the doctor.
"Thank you,"she muttered with a low and cracked voice. She clenched the paper to her chest.
"What's wrong with you Mrs Georgia?"
She didn't bother to answer the doctor as she walked out of the office.
*
"Why do you call for such impromptu meeting?"
She swallowed hard as madam Kate asked in a cold and authoritative tone.
The courage she felt walked earlier suddenly left her after noticing the stares of her parents on her.
How could she tell the family that she's pregnant for Ethan?
She wonder how she would he able to break the news to her parents and grandma before the entire family.
"I'm sure you know you're delaying your grandma,"her mother reminded her in a cold voice.
She took a deep breath and said.
"I… I'm pregnant,"

"What!"Georgia lowered her head in fear as she stared at the angry looks on their faces. Madam Kate's expression suddenly turned cold and stoic. She looked up at Georgia who averted her angry gaze. Pregnant? With who? She doesn't want to believe it was with Smith. She wouldn't dare get pregnant with him. "What's wrong with you? What are you saying?"Olivia asked as she dragged her into a place beside the hall room. "Nothing is wrong with me. I'm pregnant mum,"she muttered with her voice laced with pain and sadness. "With how? How can you get pregnant now?"her mother asked in an angry tone. She scoffed loudly and rolled her eyes at her mother. "What do you mean? I'm old enough to give birth, right?"she grunted, and her mother shook her head with a sigh. "I never said you're not old enough to give birth,""That isn't the matter right now. I need to know who is responsible for the baby,""Mum,"she groaned, trying to mask the frustrated look on her face. "Who's the father of the

Next morning, Smith yawned softly as he woke up from the slumber. He turned to the other side of the bed and sighed as his gaze met with the empty side of the bed. His wife wasn't on the bed. He wondered where she'd gone. She must have left her work, modeling agency.He whined as his wrist twitched in pain. A smile formed on his face when he remembered how Georgia massaged and caressed his wrist. Though her attitude yesterday was right, he couldn't help wishing for more. He wanted to be a real husband even though it's almost impossible. He exhaled after sniffing her whiff of perfect and intoxicating scent on the bed. His body reacted to the scent in such a way he couldn't describe. Though he wanted to forget and act like nothing happened yesterday night, he couldn't take the scene from his head. It's indeed strange to him that his wife offered to help him massage his arms and allowed him to sleep on the bed for the first time. It's a scene he couldn't take away from his head eas
Rise Of The Secret Trillionaire Heir Chapter 8: The Disagreement
What!?Smith stared at her with a surprised expression, taken aback by her action. She hugged him with tears rolling down from her eyes. His shoulder was drained with her tears but he didn't mind it. He couldn't hide the shock after she hugged him. Why wouldn't he be surprised? This was the first time he'd hugged her apart from the aisle of their wedding where they pretended to love each other. He breathed in as her fragrance hit her nose. He made use of the opportunity and hugged her back even though he was somehow reluctant. She is his wife, right? He asked himself as he began to feel guilty for hugging her back in such a state. He felt like he was taking advantage of her. He stared at her and stroked her hair for a while until she sniffed back a bead of tears and stepped backward.Though the hug wasn't long, it felt so real and good that he wish she didn't stop hugging him. "What's wrong?" He managed to ask after stretching out a white handkerchief to her. "Thanks," she mutte

Smith shook his head with a sigh as he stared at the old and outdated design of his in-law house. It's hard to believe that the second daughter of Madam Kate could be living in such a place. This is one of the reasons Georgia's mother, Olivia, is desperate to marry someone rich who can afford to buy her a good house. He shoved his hand inside his pocket as he passed through the hallway that led to their house. He wanted to turn and leave when he remembered how they humiliated him in the presence of Edward just because he couldn't visit and greet them with gifts. He shoved the thought away from his mind. He believed they might change since their daughter seems to be becoming close to him. And if they humiliated him like they used to, he would not take it to his heart since he's used to their insult and abuse all day. He suddenly stopped as he came closer to their room. He heard some familiar voices oozing from the house. He knew something could be wrong though he couldn't tell what

What! A gasp escaped from her mouth and she turned her cold gaze to her mother, Olivia. "What did you just say, Mum?" She asked in a surprised tone. She wanted to know if her mother was joking even though her mother's expression said it all. She was dead serious. "You heard me right baby girl so you should find something to do about this before it gets too late,""And besides, there's nothing you're going to lose if you choose to lose him. He's poor and useless. He's the family dog and good-for-nothing being…""That's enough mum," she growled deeply, and her mother scoffed then crossed her arms under her breasts. She is quite angry that her mother keeps throwing shade at him because he's poor even though he'd been trying his best to satisfy the family in one way or the other. His efforts are quite useless because he isn't rich and comfortable. Though she doesn't like him, she feels bad for him.

Smith gulped down into nothing as he stared at his clothes which were stained by the mud water. He bit her lower lips and narrowed his gaze to Micheal's car which drove off speedily. "I'll make sure you pay for this dearly someday," he muttered beneath as he stared at his dirty shirt. Though he didn't know where the feeling was coming from, he was going to make Micheal and his family suffer most miserably. He can't manage to get to the restaurant dressed in this way. He has to return home and change. He took a deep breath and cursed Micheal inwardly. He clenched his fist with a cold look on my face.He had to cover a few kilometers before he could return. By the time he returned home, his legs burned with excruciating pain. He walked into the compound and passed through the first door where he met Georgia's parents discussing Olivia and Joseph. "What were they discussing?" He asked himself with a confused look as they suddenly jerked up and sat up, clearing their throats nervou

"Sadly, you can't have an abortion because it would damage your womb and you wouldn't be able to give birth in the nearest future,"What! A soft gasp escaped Georgia's lips as the doctor dropped the bombshell. She shifted on her chair uncomfortably as she turned her gaze to the doctor who had a serious look on his face. She was in a daze for a moment. She was taken aback by shock. What is she hearing? How could that be possible?"Are you for real, doctor?" She managed to ask after she recovered from the shock which overwhelmed her. "Yes, Mrs. Georgia. I've been your family doctor for the past ten years so I won't lie to you," she stared at him for a while hoping to find his words funny but she couldn't find it. He looked serious, and she could also sense the sincerity in his voice and eyes. "Check the results yourself if you're doubting me," he said and stretched a printed paper at her. She quickly grabbed the paper from him. She opened the front page and her breath ceased when

"What's the problem?" Georgia opened her eyes and looked up as he retreated and dropped the injection on the wooden table. He didn't answer her. He remained silent until they walked out of his laboratory to his office. "Nothing," he muttered, and she scoffed. "Why did you suddenly stop?" She asked, and he dropped the stethoscope on the table and turned his gaze to her. "I'm sorry the abortion can't be carried out on you at the moment,""Why?" She was confused by the doctor's statement. A few minutes he wanted to abort the unborn child but now he's doing otherwise. "The system doesn't permit me to carry out the abortion today. So if tomorrow is not too far, come as early as possible so I'll abort the child for you,""You can also use that as an opportunity to think about your decision thoroughly.

“The Ember Scales dragon spirit fruits,” the spirit beast muttered in a low tone as he stared at the spirit in Smith's hand. “How did you get this fruit?” The spirit beast asked in a low tone as he stared at Smith curiously. Smith, who was trying to buy time so he could recuperate and fight back with his last strength, looked up with a fierce and unyielding look on his face. “It was simple. I got it from the trio dragons,” Smith said and the spirit beast looked up instantly.“They must have given the fruits to you willingly because there is no way you could defeat them with their combined strength.”“I, myself, am wary of them because of their energy. What have you done to make them give you those fruits and not me?” The spirit beast asked in a jealous tone as he stared at Smith contemptuously. “I earned it and it was simple. I can tell you the tricks but you don't deserve to know,” Smith said in a calm tone despite feeling excruciating pain burned through his veins. “You’d bette

“Who are you? Where are you? Come out and stop hiding,” Smith yelled with a cold look on his face as he looked around cautiously, trying to find the person whose voice spread across the place. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find the trace of the person despite feeling the presence of the person around him. “Since you won't come out of your hiding, I'll have to do it in the hard way,” he said with a cold look on his face as he walked toward the Golden box that was chained at the top of a mountain. The Golden box had an ancient crescent moon design on it. “That box must hold a lot of resources,” he thought to himself as he walked towards the mountain. Just as he attempted to near the tall mountain, he was repelled by a strong force that was filled with enormous dark energy. “This is bad,” he thought to himself and shook his head with a sigh as he staggered back to his feet and stared at the tall mountain before him. “How dare you go close to the BloodFall Sacred Mountain

The leader of the dragons flew toward Smith happily and rubbed its head against Smith's head gently. “I guess I'm done here. I kept my promise,” he said with a cold look on his face and took a deep breath after he was done. “Hey. You don't have to do that,” Smith laughed heartily as the dragon licked his body vigorously. For whatever reason, Smith felt connected to the dragons in a way that he couldn't explain. “You're doing well,” he said with a cold smile on his face. The two dead that just got revived elevated from the floor and flapped their wings graciously. They flew around Smith happily and gratefully. Smith felt fulfilled and satisfied with their presence. He stayed with the dragon for a while and they had quite a fun time together. He left the midst of the dragons that were surrounding him protectively. He approached the trio who were lying dead on the floor. He squatted low and took out the rings on their fingers.“This must be the spatial ring that Sandra was talking

The dragon looked up as soon as Smith finished his statement and stared at him with his fiery gaze longingly, hoping Smith was serious about his offer. Although some of the spirit beasts can't talk, they had the intelligence of a human so they could hear and understand human language. Smith, who had noticed the look, nodded his head affirmatively. “You have less than thirty seconds. If you don't finish them up, I won't hesitate to kill you afterward,” Smith said with a cold look on his face and the dragon looked up coldly.The trio looked up at Smith in despair. “What are you doing?”“You're going too far.”“Please stop this dragon. Why are you like this?” The trio shouted and cried out in pain as they struggled against the dragon. They kept cursing at Smith because Smith had ruined their plan. Although the dragon had entered the Berserk Mood earlier and its strength had been amplified, they would be able to survive and kill the dragon after dragging out for about twenty minutes.

“What!” They gasped out in shock with their eyes widened in shock after seeing what had just happened. The atmosphere became stiff as though nothing existed around them. The three of them stared at Smith momentarily with a shock expression on his face, unable to tell how he managed to kill the dragon with a single strike. The last dragon shivered in fear as soon as its gaze met with Smith's gaze. It could tell that Smith wasn't an ordinary person to be able to take down his companion in a single streak. Although some spirit beasts and animals couldn't talk or take human form, they're all intelligent and have the natural survival instinct. It would be seeking death to attack Smith recklessly. Smith paid no attention to him and struggled with a cold look on his face.The dragon roared out angrily as it turned to the three weak humans trembling before it. “How did you do that?”“Aren't you just in the mid stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm?” “How could you kill it with ju
Chapter 272: Ember Scales Of The Dragon Fruit 2
The enchanted forest stood a magnificent tree unlike any other. Its towering trunk was thick and gnarled, its sprawling branches covered in shimmering emerald leaves that glowed faintly under the moonlight. This was the Dragon’s Bounty, a tree of legend, said to bear the rarest of fruits—twin dragon fruits, each a marvel of nature.These fruits, known as the Ember Scales also known as the Dragon Fruit, resembled the hide of a slumbering dragon. Their outer skin was layered with hardened, overlapping scales in deep crimson and fiery gold, glistening as if embers pulsed beneath. The scales were tough to the touch, yet when peeled away, they revealed a luscious, glowing core of translucent nectar. The fruit’s flesh, infused with the energy of the tree’s ancient magic, shimmered like molten amber, releasing a sweet, intoxicating aroma that carried hints of wild honey and exotic spices.Legends spoke of those fortunate enough to taste the Ember Scales, claiming the fruit granted temporary

After they were done repelling the thunder that was directed at them, they looked around cautiously and vigilantly. Only Smith seemed calm and indifferent. “Is this tree trying to play with us?” The finely dressed young man asked with a cold look on his face. “I don't know either,” the young lady replied with a frown as she looked around with a cold look on her face. “See! Look at those creatures!” The bearded man yelled out and pointed at the mountain behind the vibrant tree. They arched their eyebrows as their gases landed on some creature in huge numbers that appeared mysteriously and stood before the tree protectively before turning to them. Those creatures had legs and hands just like humans but what they lacked was life. Their eyes were devoid of life. “This must be a puppet that is set up to protect this ancient tree,” the young lady said and they nodded their heads in agreement. “Hey. Come closer to us if you don't want to die,” the young lady added as she turned to gla

“Hello, you all.” “As you can see, you are all grouped with four people each in different places. The reason is for you all to work together as a team to get the treasures since the challenge would be increased progressively and it would be almost impossible to survive alone.”“You're not allowed to kill any of your team members because you're supposed to work together as one and try as much as possible to stay alive.”“That being said, the challenge shall begin now,” his voice echoed heavily, shaking their souls vigorously before it vanished into thin air like it never existed. “So we aren't allowed to kill him because he's a member of our team,” the finely dressed young man said in a low tone and the bearded man scoffed with a cold look on his face. “That's right. He's lucky. If not, you would have killed him a moment ago,” the bearded man said and Smith scoffed.Smith took a deep breath and sat down on the floor with a cold look on his face as he muttered to himself inaudibly, “

Before Smith was drawn into the dark vortex, he couldn't help but wonder why Sandra was acting strangely. He remembered asking her what was wrong and she claimed that it was because she was going to miss him. It seemed she was hiding something but he couldn't tell what it was. What could it be? He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer.However, he didn't doubt her. The force that came upon him from the vortex void in the space was so that he could barely move his body until he was dragged into the void which seemed bottomless and dark. Alvin, who noticed what had happened, smirked wickedly after realising that Smith was alone and Sandra wasn't going to come with them just like she told Elder Steve. He has gotten a better chance to eliminate Smith. “What's your name called? I didn't bother to ask but I have marked your face. I will make sure you die a painful and regretful death. In the next life, you won't dare cross a member of the Bloodling clan.”“And as for you, I will as
