Ch. 456..460: The President's Pregnant, Ex-Wife Chapter 456-460

Chapter 456: Chapter 456 – Our enemies are dead

"You are already in your death pit where I want you to be," Robin said, confusion clouded their eyes once again as Mara said,

"I don’t understand."

Robin turned to his comrades and asked, "Does anybody have anything for them?" He wanted to get this over with and go spend time with his twins.

These people were not worthy of his time.

"Won’t you give me a chance to slap them?" Daniel asked, and everyone outside the cubicle was nodding their heads, seeking the opportunity to torture the four people, but Robin shook his head.

"That would make your hands dirty."

Daniel could still not get over how he almost lost his unborn child and suggested, "Then let the agent do it for me."

The corner of Robin’s lips curled upward as he said, "I don’t intend to let them out of the cage or let anybody in."

No one understood Robin’s plan, as he hadn’t informed them. The agent was eager to see how Robin intended to end the lives of the four people if he didn’t want to use his services.

"Then are you going to leave them like that?" Devin asked, slightly disappointed, but Robin chuckled and asked,

"Are you ready to see what I’m going to do to them?"

"Yes," they all nodded their heads in agreement. When he requested for this cubicle to be made in place of continuing the villa, he was charged a lot for it but knowing the purpose for which he requested it, it was all worthwhile.

Robin pressed a button on the remote and the four people began to struggle for air, as if they were under water without oxygen masks.

"What is going on?" Sabrina asked, seeing them pale and gasping for air.

Robin responded calmly without tearing his gaze from them. The video of how the cubicle worked was sent to him but this was the first time he was testing it.

"I already denied them food and water so I’m denying them the air they breathe," Robin explained, eyes widened.

No one knew that an equipment like this existed. This was a painful death and just as Robin said, he was not going to dirty his hands.

The four people suffocated and gasped, feeling their breath cease as if they were underwater. In less than two minutes, they were unconscious on the floor, foaming at the mouth.

"Are they dead?" Matilda asked, not wanting any more surprises, especially as a new mother.

Robin shrugged, not having time to check their pulse or ask the agent to do so.

"I don’t know, but it’s time for cremation," he said seriously. Dead or not, only their ashes were to remain.

As he pressed another button, they witnessed the four bodies in the cubicle burning within fifteen minutes, though they couldn’t see the fire with their naked eyes. It looked as if the human beings were in a hot oven and all that remained were their ashes.

"They are dead, no doubt," Lizzy said with a satisfied smile. This was a good punishment for what they did to her, her husband, and their unborn child.

"What technology, Mr. Jewel," the agent complimented Robin. When Robin said that he didn’t want to get his hands dirty, the agent was curious to know how it was going to happen.

Robin smiled but he wasn’t done. He wanted to make sure that even their ghosts would not make it out alive. However, the agent was worried about all the money spent.

"Everybody should leave now. I’m burning down this place."

"Mr. Jewel, this is a lot of money. Why not sell it?" the agent asked seriously. Robin shook his head. If he sees whoever he sold the place to complete it with his original plan, Robin would feel guilty every time he sees it.

"I intend to destroy everything on this soil that reminds me of them, and turn it into a very beautiful garden for my wife."

This cubicle could be reused and the villa could be completed and sold as well. Robin could make a billion from it but he was ready to waste all the money and invest more to turn it into a beautiful garden.

Sabrina was shocked as she never imagined it. Robin knew that she loved gardens and didn’t mind all the money he was going to lose to position the garden where her enemies were destroyed.

She hugged her husband and they shared a few kisses as she said, "Thank you, my king."

Robin hugged her tightly to his chest before pressing the remote once again. The glass cubicle lowered and they saw the ashes of the four people on the floor.

They had witnessed it all, their enemies were now ashes remaining on the floor.

Robin pressed another button on the remote and they saw a room filled with gallons. "Help me sprinkle the fuel," Robin said to the men.

They would not have known that all those gallons contained fuel. Robin had everything planned out.

After dousing everything in fuel, they drove a distance away from the villa before the agent threw a bomb that ignited the flames.

They waited and watched as the fire reduced everything to ashes once again. Suddenly, Devin began to clap, and everyone stared at him in shock.

Then he said, "We should celebrate tonight. Our enemies are dead."

"How can we celebrate with two nursing mothers and one pregnant woman?" Robin chuckled and asked, referring to alcoholic beverages, as he couldn’t consume anything else.

"Celebration doesn’t have to involve alcohol for those who can’t take it," Devin replied. "Let’s eat, drink, and dance in celebration of our newfound freedom and joy."

"Now you’re talking," Robin agreed. There were already enough maids at the villa. "The party will be at the villa. Mark is already there."

So, they drove to the villa as they had come, with only the agent driving in a different direction. The security man had been moved to a different property.

As soon as they reached the villa, Robin’s phone rang. He answered it, and a smile stretched across his lips as Sabrina asked,

"Who is it? And why are you smiling so much?"

Chapter 457: Chapter 457 - Everyone deserves a chance at love

"Who is it? And why are you smiling so much?" Sabrina asked.

"Our joy is complete. I’ve just been informed that Zayla’s father had a heart attack and died after finding out that his daughter had died in prison," Robin lowered the phone and spoke excitedly.

It was the first time Sabrina saw such a level of excitement in him and could tell that he was indeed very happy about the news.

"He had no idea that she faked her death and was rather baked?" Sabrina asked with a hint of mockery.

When evil people fall, everyone is happy and she was not an exception. She also felt safer and felt that her children would have a more peaceful life.

"Coincidentally, he just found out today, following suit," amusement laced Robin’s voice as he spoke. Sabrina felt like celebrating so much that she felt restricted as a nursing mother.

"I wish I could have a sip of wine."

Robin smiled sadly at her, as he couldn’t grant her wish this time. "Don’t worry. There are other exciting things waiting for you," he pinched her cheek playfully, just as the villa buzzed with music.

"I don’t see whiskey in your wine cabinet," Devin interrupted their moment, Robin forced a smile and warned,

"Please make sure you don’t get drunk."

Devin scowled, not agreeing to the warning. "Isn’t it the reason why we are having the party in your house? I can just sleep it off," he shrugged.

He was among family and couldn’t understand the reason why Robin was being overly restrictive of him.

"You also have a newborn to take care of," Robin reminded him but Devin glanced in the direction of his three-day-old baby and smiled,

"Laura and grandma are doing a good job. Your grandma seems to want more grandkids and Jacob is doing a great job too."

Robin was speechless. He knew that Jacob was with the twins and Mark because of how much time he wanted to spend with Laura.

As such, he didn’t join the partying men. "Be careful Devin, your tolerance for hard drink is quite low," Robin warned once again.

With Daniel, he wasn’t disturbed due to his high tolerance for liquor, but it wasn’t the same for Devin.

"I won’t take more than a glass," Devin insisted. He didn’t have such drinks at home and only enjoyed them that night at the club when he got drunk and was rescued by Daniel and Robin.

"Okay. Then I will show you," Robin gave up and said, but Sabrina’s eyes widened and she asked seriously,

"Are you really going to allow him to drink?"

Robin was uneasy by the way Sabrina glared at him. "Come on, my queen, everybody needs to celebrate, but I will keep an eye on him," he said reassuringly, as he began to walk Devin to where he kept those hard drinks.

Sabrina wanted to stop them but was pulled back by her best friend. Today was a happy day for everyone, and Matilda didn’t want her man to be left out.

It was just as he said. They were among friends and family.

"Brina, I got you orange juice," Matilda said. Sabrina frowned a little. Merely seeing the orange juice, she felt nauseated, as she had had too much during her time of pregnancy.

"I haven’t had orange juice ever since I gave birth," she revealed. Matilda was amazed and asked,

"So what do you want?" She never thought that Sabrina could get over her obsession for orange drinks.

"Grape juice, I guess."

"Grape juice for me too," Lizzy said beside the two women. As Matilda got the drinks, Lizzy asked, "So, is it that painful?"

Both Sabrina and Matilda gave her a look, forcing her to elaborate. "I mean, labor."

Sabrina was beginning to have a headache, not believing they were going to have this conversation again. Lizzy never stops asking silly questions.

"No. It’s the coolest thing in the world," Sabrina replied sarcastically. Matilda shook her head and said to Lizzy,

"It’s better not to think about such things. Just enjoy your life to the fullest. Who knows, you might even have triplets and have to opt for a Caesarean."

Lizzy didn’t seem happy with the idea. Both Sabrina and Matilda had pushed their babies themselves, so why should she be the one to undergo a caesarean?

"Can’t one push out triplets?" She asked in an almost teary voice. Sabrina’s headache felt worse.

"Some do, but doctors don’t advise it. The stress of labor is something you just have to endure for yourself," she advised her sister.

"I wish to have quintuplets and I will push them all out by myself," Lizzy said joyfully and took a glass of grape juice from Matilda.

Nobody said anything to counter what she had as their attention shifted to the men who were battling in a dance against one another.

"Gosh, Brina, did you know that Robin could dance like that?" Matilda was wide-eyed as she asked.

The men cheered for Robin as he turned the middle of the living room into a dance floor and showed off some sexy dance moves.

Sabrina laughed and blushed. "I never knew that Devin could even dance," she said as Robin passed the spotlight to Devin, who was also dancing like crazy. Maybe it was thanks to the vodka.

Matilda was shocked to see her husband dancing like that, and the next moment, it was Daniel’s turn. The women watched as the men took turns to dance their hearts out.

Even Jacob had joined them along the way, and from the way Laura was staring at him, Sabrina became suspicious and excused herself from the two women by her side.

"Laura, what is going on between you and Jacob?" Sabrina asked suspiciously. It was all she ever wanted since she set them up but had no idea when things picked up between them.

Laura smiled shyly, "nothing Sabrina, why do you ask?"

"I see the way you look at him."

Laura smiled, but this time, it was a bitter one. The twins began crying due to the noise, so grandma took them away with Mark.

"Sabrina, love isn’t meant for me." Laura was suddenly moody as she spoke. Sabrina wrapped her arm around her and gave her a glass of grape juice.

"I disagree. Everyone deserves a chance at love," Sabrina countered.

Laura stared at her for a while and said absentmindedly, "Even if I explain it, you won’t understand."

Chapter 458: Chapter 458 – I met a guy, Julius

"Even if I explain it, you won’t understand," Laura said.

Sabrina was determined to know more about Laura, as Robin had mentioned that Laura’s life was secretive and she might be married.

It was Sabrina’s hope that Laura wouldn’t be married so that Jacob could also have a chance at love.

The attraction between the two of them had been evident to onlookers for some time. "Why don’t you try? See me as a sister or best friend," Sabrina suggested, unaware that she had touched a sensitive spot in Laura.

Laura’s expression suddenly turned moody. "Sabrina, there is a price to pay for having a sister or best friend. If you become either of them in my life, then yours would be at risk. I prefer that we keep things formal."

Sabrina didn’t need to ask. She understood. It was the same with Robin. Anyone who wanted to attack him could go after those close to him.

However, Sabrina felt that Laura was referring to her job. She couldn’t see that there was more to the calm woman in front of her.

"Laura, what will you do if your job ends?"

"Death?" Laura smiled mockingly at herself. Her future was bleak, and she couldn’t see it.

Her heart was too clouded for hope. "I don’t mind dying after I give justice to those who deserve it, even if they aren’t alive to see it."

Sabrina was at a loss and said plainly, "I don’t know about you, but when we worked together at the office, I always saw you as a friend, and when you moved in with us, I always thought of you as a sister. Family shares. And family keeps each other’s secrets."

Laura chuckled, feeling that Sabrina had no idea what she was getting herself into. "Sabrina, my burden is heavy."

"Then share it with me. My enemies are gone and I no longer have to look over my shoulders," Sabrina shrugged. Even if the last thing she could do was help Laura, she was willing to do it wholeheartedly.

"Have you ever heard of the name Gershon Clide?" Laura suddenly asked. In spite of the loud music, Sabrina heard the name and her heart thumped a little.

"The governor who was murdered with his wife, three children, maids, and bodyguards?"

Laura was amazed by how she knew the details offhand, which meant that the news had traveled very far.

"You know the details quite well, but he is my father and I was the reason why my family was murdered."

Laura’s face was expressionless, Sabrina could understand that though she had grown a thick skin to the past, her heart was still fragile.

This was going to be indeed heavy for Sabrina. Looking here and there, she beckoned to one of the maids before asking Laura, "Do you need more grape juice?"

Laura’s glass was empty, so Sabrina didn’t wait for an answer and said to the maid, "Please get us some more grape juice."

The maid returned with a tray and four glasses of grape juice. After Sabrina thanked her, she sipped the juice and felt herself ready to hear more about Laura’s story.

"Please tell me what happened."

"It was all because of that four-letter word, ’love,’" Laura recalled bitterly. "My father was very strict with my relationships and I was homeschooled. I always kicked against the way he controlled every part of our lives."

A small smile stretched Laura’s lips as she recalled her elder brother. "Can’t go anywhere without a bodyguard and can’t have friends. My sister was younger and brother was older, he loved to spoil me and sneak me out sometimes."

"If I had known, I would have been obedient to my father. My brother and I disguised on the day before my seventeenth birthday and we went to one of his friends’ graduation party."

With a small smile, she continued to recount the story of her past. "I met a guy, Julius. I never knew that he knew my identity before I told him and I never knew he was a spy."

"I gave him my number and we talked a lot on the phone. I told him everything about myself but all he fed me were lies. The relationship took almost a year and in between, I sneaked out to meet him twice, he spoiled me like a little princess. I was in love with him and we shared light kisses. He said he was afraid because I was seventeen."

"When I was about to turn eighteen, I was excited. I wanted to experience my first real passionate kiss, and he promised to disguise himself and make it to my birthday party. The night before the party, three people broke into my father’s villa and murdered everyone in cold blood."

Laura’s expression was still emotionless, and though Sabrina knew the end, she was now learning the shocking details of the story of the governor and his family, who were murdered years ago in cold blood.

"They wore masks and I was the only one left. One of them spoke, and I felt like my heart was ripped from my chest. It was Julius. He removed his mask and said, ’thank you for making it easy for me.’ Right there and then, he shot me in the chest without regret."

"The pain of the betrayal was worse than the pain of the bullet," Laura concluded, but Sabrina was still a little confused.

"The governor never had a daughter named Laura."

"My real name is Genesis Clide." Sabrina’s brows raised in shock. Genesis Clide was indeed the eldest daughter of the governor.

"When I woke up at the hospital, a man told me that they couldn’t find the person who killed my family but feared the person might try to finish what he started if he finds out that I survived," Laura continued to say, and due to how shocked Sabrina was, she couldn’t even speak.

"I mentioned the name, but there were no records of a man named Julius. Everything he told me about himself was lies. The man, that’s our top boss, suggested it was best to spread the news that the whole family died and called me Laura."

"It was the name of his late daughter who was also shot in the chest but didn’t survive it, and that was how I joined the agency."

This was the first time Laura opened up about her private life, and it felt strangely relieving.

Sabrina soon recovered from her shock, her respect growing for the woman who had endured so much in life.

"I’m so sorry."

Laura shrugged. "Ever since I completed my training at the agency, I’ve been using all my resources to track down Julius."

Sabrina’s eyes lit up, and she wanted the man to be brought to his knees. "Did you find anything?" She asked eagerly.

Chapter 459: Chapter 459 - Give me a night, Laura. Just one night

"A lot. I know where his secret pregnant wife lives and his parents too. I have eyes all around him but I can’t strike until I resign from the agency."

Sabrina was relieved but also surprised that Laura had made headway but could not understand the reason why the latter could not act immediately.

"Why is that?"

"If anything goes wrong, the agency will be in trouble but if I strike as a rogue agent, then the blame will solely be on me," Laura explained.

Every day that she received information from the spies she kept paying to keep an eye on Julius and his family, her heart itched for vengeance but she had kept to the rules.

She had the chance to resign earlier but she had gotten close to Sabrina and fell in love with the twins that she could not refuse Robin’s proposal to move in with them.

His pay was also great as she needed more money to continue paying the people she was working with.

She never thought about a future and never cared about her life. For as long as her family found peace in their grave, she would be fine.

Besides, Julius was still taking down innocent people and had to be stopped. Laura took it upon herself to be the one to bring him down after researching about him and knowing that he had no moral values.

For as long as money was put on the table, Julius did not care about whom to send to the grave, whether innocent or guilty.

"So, you are going rogue?" Sabrina asked with worry but Laura was confident about it and replied,

"Everything is ready but Julius is very smart and tough. He is in Chicago today and in Tanzania tomorrow. He always succeeds with all his missions. I don’t want him to be aware when I take down his family but he himself would be the last to join them."

It seemed to Sabrina that Laura was going to take on someone stronger than her. Thus, she could not help being more disturbed about the plan.

"I support your revenge but it shouldn’t stop you from giving love a second chance. Not all men are like Julius you know," Sabrina advised, feeling that if Laura had something or someone to look back on, then she would be more careful about her life.

"I will remember that but I don’t think Jacob would like me by the time I’m done with Julius," Laura said with a bitter smile.

What she had planned was gruesome and she felt that no man would want a woman with a heart so black as hers.

"Why don’t you let him decide?" Sabrina asked, not believing that Jacob would give up easily.

Laura felt relieved to finally share her feelings, but she also worried that she had said too much.

"It was great talking to you, Sabrina, but I can’t stay here for more than a week. I already submitted my resignation letter to the agency after your enemies were captured, and it has been approved. I only have four more days of work," Laura explained.

Sabrina was surprised by this news, but she knew there was nothing she could do about it. There was also no way to stop Laura from what she was going to do.

However, Sabrina knew that the villa would never be the same again without Laura.

"I’ll miss you, Laura," Sabrina said as she hugged her, speaking from the heart. Laura smiled in response.

This was the only job where Laura had let her emotions guide her. Being with the Jewels felt like being with family, as they never saw her as an agent.

They treated her like one of their own, without any restrictions.

"You’ll see me again, if I’m not caught. And if I am, I’ll make sure he doesn’t live to see the sun," Laura vowed. She had never failed a mission before, and this wouldn’t be her first.

Laura’s commitment to her mission made Sabrina worry about her leaving without a commitment to Jacob.

"Isn’t falling in love again worth considering?" she asked.

Laura smiled and asked, "You mean Jacob?"

"Yes. I can see the way you look at each other," Sabrina said plainly, noticing a pink stain on Laura’s cheek for the first time, but it quickly disappeared.

"I can’t be devoted to him when my family died because of me. They deserve justice," Laura explained. Sabrina pleaded with her, holding her hands and begging,

"Then please don’t get yourself killed. You have a family waiting for you here."

Laura was deeply touched by her words, her eyes becoming glassy. "I will try. Julius is the best in his agency, so it won’t be easy, but I have an advantage over him."

"What is that?" Sabrina asked curiously. Laura explained, "I know all his moves, but he thinks I’m dead."

Sabrina smiled. Being ahead of one’s enemy was a great advantage, as Robin had often used to his benefit. "I wish you all the best."

"Thank you, but Jacob must not know about this," Laura said seriously, leaving Sabrina at a loss.

If she doesn’t inform Robin to tell Jacob, then how would he have hope? However, if Laura has trusted her with this secret, she couldn’t disappoint her.

"This is girls talk so why should a man know?" Sabrina asked casually. Laura smiled and responded,

"Thank you."

"I will always be here for you and you should remember that we are your family too," Sabrina reminded her. Laura had tears in her eyes but before she responded, Robin’s voice cut through.

"My queen, it’s your turn to dance."

Sabrina was shocked and had a frown on her face. She never planned to join their dancing craze and thought of an excuse to give.

"Oh no, I think Robert is hungry. I will go and breastfeed him."

Robin was already by her side, dragging her by the waist. "Sorry, my queen, you can’t escape this one. Everyone has danced except you and Laura."

Laura knew she was going to be next and instantly refused, "I don’t dance." Jacob countered, "I know you can."

Laura was helpless as Jacob dragged her to the dance floor, and she danced with Sabrina with everyone cheering for them.

That was how they all joined the dance, with every man dancing with their partners. The fun continued late into the night before everyone retired to bed.

Four days later, Laura had news for Robin. "Mr. Jewel, my job is done and I resigned from the agency."

She was already carrying her bag and Robin was not surprised, as he already knew a lot about Laura through Jacob and made her an offer,

"How about you work directly for me?"

Laura looked around, tempted to take the offer but her desire for revenge burned so deep. "I don’t know about that but there is something very important I need to take care of."

"What is that?" Robin asked, pretending not to know. Laura glanced at Sabrina before saying to Robin,

"I’m sorry, I can’t tell but if everything works out, then I would return but if not, I’m glad to have served you and your family."

Robin was saddened as things had not progressed between Laura and Jacob. "I don’t know what to say."

"I should leave then." Laura turned around and was almost at the door when Jacob spoke from a distance,

"Leaving without saying goodbye?"

Laura forced a smile. She didn’t want to see Jacob before leaving, as it would make things difficult for her.

Without turning around, she responded, "It’s better this way."

Jacob was saddened and his heart was heavy as he walked to her and she turned to face him. He stared at Robin and Sabrina, they instantly excused themselves before he said to Laura,

"So everything we had, was it just dust?"

He knew that Laura could not lie about not feeling anything for him, just as he felt for her, and he asked, but Laura didn’t want to get her hopes up.

She didn’t want Jacob to know about her next course of action and didn’t want to be affected by his hatred for her afterwards. "

I don’t know what you’re talking about," she said, reaching for the doorknob, but Jacob held it in place, his gaze boring into hers.

"If you’re leaving, don’t you think you should give me something?" He took a step closer to her, and Laura tensed up, her heart rate increasing dramatically.

"Something like what? I don’t think I have anything to give," she said, lowering her gaze. Jacob lifted her chin, and their gazes met once again.

"Give me a night, Laura. Just one night."

Laura hesitated for a moment, and Jacob thought she was going to say no. She took a step back, opened her backpack, removed a card, and handed it to him. "Don’t be late."

Jacob was confused, but the door was shut, and she was gone. He stared at the card, and his lips stretched into a thin smile.

Chapter 460: Chapter 460 – I fell in love with you within the short time we spent together

Laura had invited Jacob to her apartment in the next hour. It was obvious that she didn’t want anyone to know about it, so Jacob did not immediately inform his twin brother.

"Robin, can you keep an eye on mom? I have to check something," Jacob dashed into the garden where Robin and Sabrina were playing with the twins and spoke.

Robin still did not like Ethel but had to tolerate her since she was a condition for Jacob to move into the villa with them.

After the time spent away from each other, he couldn’t bear being away from his twin brother, thereby accepting that woman to live with them.

Because of her health, she was constantly indoors and never gave anyone problems.

"Sure. My wife would look out for her," Robin pushed the responsibility to Sabrina, who did not refuse as he asked Jacob.

"So where exactly are you going?" Jacob smiled and replied. "I promise to tell you when I get back."

At that, he turned around and left. Driving to the address on the card, the door was locked, but he detected a sensor and flashed the card. The door opened instantly with a beep and green light.

"Make yourself comfortable. I’m in the shower and will see you soon," a robotic voice said. Jacob looked around, impressed.

The apartment wasn’t too big and perfect for a single woman. There were sensors and computerized items everywhere.

This wasn’t a homely place but rather one of work where one had to constantly be alert. However, the setup was ultra-modern and luxurious.

Jacob’s brows raised as he pressed a button. What was Laura doing in the shower? Didn’t she just shower at the villa? His heart thumped as he began to convince himself that she was indeed going to give him a chance.

As the doors to the button he pressed slid to the side, it revealed a wine cabinet. Impressed, he poured himself a glass of vodka as a familiar voice spoke behind him, "you asked for a night, but I can do day. What do you say?"

Jacob smiled and gulped down the wine before turning to face her. Laura only had a towel wrapped around her chest, her hair was wet with drops of water falling to her shoulder.

Jacob swallowed hard. The woman didn’t make any seductive moves, but everything about her exuded seduction. Thanks to years of training, she was sexy and took his breath away.

For a moment, he wanted to lick the drops of water from her shoulders. Laura’s mission was simple: even if she was going to die in this vengeful plot, she wanted to experience good sex.

At twenty-six, she had no idea what sex tasted like, so when Jacob proposed it, she didn’t refuse.

After all, the attraction was undeniable. However, Jacob didn’t just want sex, as he had initially suggested. He only used that as an excuse because there wasn’t enough time to build a strong relationship.

"Do you want to give me a chance without a relationship?" He fixed his desirous gaze on her neck, and Laura squirmed under his gaze.

Throughout her training, she had been taught not to get entangled with emotions. Now she understood why. Jacob had a hold on her emotions and was using them to his advantage.

Still, Laura wanted to be strong and let this pass as a one-night stand. Bottling her emotions, she replied,

"Just one night, as you asked. I don’t know if I will make it out alive."

Jacob’s eyes dulled with pain, and he poured himself a glass of martini, gulping down the contents as it burned his throat.

"Please tell me what you are going to do. Let me help you. I love you, Laura." The desperation in his tone was not hidden, and he wished she would just open up to him for once.

Laura was not willing to, fearing that Jacob might stop her. "You are wasting time. If we want to talk about it, then there won’t be time for the main thing."

An idea crossed Jacob’s mind as her words slowly sank in and he asked, "Are you on pills or something?"

If she was not willing to open up to him, there were other ways around it. Laura paled instantly.

"No, but I can get the emergency one after and I can assure you that I’m not ovulating." She sounded desperate but didn’t care and added,

"Also, I’ve never done it with anyone so you shouldn’t be afraid of STDs."

Jacob already knew about her sexual life but didn’t reveal that it was equally going to be his first time. However, he made his real intentions known.

"I will do it on the condition that you won’t take emergency pills."

His palms caressed her cheeks as he spoke and Laura felt a strange electricity cruising through her veins.

"Should anything happen, you have to protect what is ours, and return him or her to me with yourself," Jacob stated.

Indirectly, if Laura got pregnant after this, she had to ensure that nothing happened to both she and the baby in her womb.

Laura’s job was a violent one so this condition was a bit too much for her. Jacob didn’t want her to use emergency pills, making her helpless as it was obvious that he would not buy her idea to use a condom if she suggested it but still tried.

"I can’t predict the future. Why not use a condom instead?"

Jacob refused and said honestly, "I haven’t done it before and you want me to waste my first seed? No. If you don’t want to carry my seed, then why would you allow me inside you?"

Laura’s cheeks reddened, feeling embarrassed by the question as she leveraged, "This is just for fun."

Jacob’s gaze darkened a little and his hand wrapped possessively around her thin waist, as his gaze bored into hers.

"It’s for fun when two strangers without feelings do it, but I fell in love with you within the short time we spent together. It’s the reason why I’m here. Think Laura, please think about this."
