Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 881-Pathetic Worm
It was a beautiful woman about five-foot-seven in height. Her curly hair was dyed purple-red.
She had the typical face of an internet celebrity - big eyes, a tapered chin, apple-red lips, and puffy cheeks.
She had heavy makeup on her face, though it was obvious that she had many hyaluronic acid injections. Her appearance made her stand out from the rest of the tour group.
Bianca could tell that the woman was Hera Sanchez, her classmate in junior high.
Hera was once the prom queen.
She was quite different from how she looked in high school, but her overall shape did not change. Bianca remembered Hera very well because she used to be her bully.
Bianca did not remember the names of the two young women next to her, but she remembered seeing them before.
They were part of Hera's gang.
Hera was hugging the arm of a plump middle-aged man and resting her head on that man's shoulder.
The man was a full head shorter than Hera.
His face was as round as a plate, and his eyes were tiny because of the folds of fat. His neck was short and thick, and his body was like a moving ball. 1
He enjoyed the attention that Hera was giving him, and his meaty palm was wandering wildly on Hera's body.
Hera hated it, but she hid her true feelings and pretended that she was enjoying his advances...
Bianca watched for a while and prepared to leave. At that moment, Minnie Franklin and Astra York, two of Hera's lackeys noticed her.
Astra rubbed her eyes to make sure that her eyes were not playing tricks on her.
"Hey, Minnie, look at that girl. Isn't she... Bianca Rayne?"
Minnie was also staring at Bianca."... Bianca?" She called out.
Bianca wanted to steer clear of those women, but one of them had already called out her name. She braced herself and returned the greeting, "Long time no see."
Hera was not looking anywhere else because she was busy flirting with her boyfriend. When she heard her good friend calling out "Bianca," she was surprised.
She turned toward the direction of the voice and saw Bianca. "Why are you here, you pathetic worm?"
The "pathetic worm" from junior high had become a beautiful woman. Not only was she dressed in luxury clothing, but she carried the air of a noblewoman.
As far as Hera remembered, Bianca was not like that.
They were from the same town, and they were classmates in junior high. Bianca back then was incredibly old-fashioned. She would be in a bowl cut, and her clothes would be old and sometimes patched.
Bianca in junior high was diffident and self-abased. She looked as though she deserved to be bullied.
However, she was always the top scorer.
Hera was the most beautiful girl in school, and boys often flirted with her. She was arrogant and haughty. She and her friends often bullied Bianca, and she always called her a "pathetic worm."
Bianca frowned when she heard that familiar nickname.
Even so, she was not going to bring up the past.
She smiled gently, even though it was only superficial. "I happen to be on a work hiatus, so I'm here on a vacation, and at the same time recover a debt
Hera grimaced, and her hand that hugged her boyfriend's arm stiffened." That's impossible! How did you come here? This place is expensive. I don't think you have the time or money... so how..."
She remembered that Bianca came from a poor family and lived with her grandfather.
Bianca would work odd jobs on weekends and during the summer break. Sometimes, she would help her grandfather peddle various trinkets. How could she afford a trip to Europe?
Bianca smiled and mercilessly interjected, "No one knows what happens in the future. I'm not the only one who's changed, Hera. Have you forgotten the bet you made with me?"
She glanced at the plump middle-aged man sitting next to Hera.
The man's eyes were transfixed on Bianca's body. Bianca could not help but feel appalled.
Hera knew that her boyfriend was perversely attracted to beautiful women.
'Damned fat pig!'
She glared at Bianca angrily. "What bet is it? Why don't I remember it?”
Bianca narrowed her gaze. "Oh? Are you making excuses now?" "Hah! Am I that kind of person?" Hera repeated, "I've never made any excuses. What bet was it again?"
Bianca stared at her coldly. "Looks like you're really forgetful, Ms. Sanchez. Have you forgotten what you've said? This came out of your mouth: If I ever go on vacation in another country, you'll pay for a seven-day trip for the entire class. I remember that these two beautiful ladies were there when you said that. You can ask them."
She pointed at Minnie and Astra.
The two young women tried to avert Bianca's eyes. They shot a knowing glance at Hera as though reminding her that it was really the case.
They remembered Hera saying that while they were teasing Bianca in school.
At that time, Hera remembered it too.
She pressed her lips together reluctantly.
She had said that because she wanted to humiliate Bianca. She thought that Bianca would never be rich enough to step out of the country for a vacation.
Now, she had met the pathetic worm from junior high in Greece. She could not believe her eyes.
What should she do?
Should she fulfill her promise? She was now a minor Internet celebrity and could afford it, but she was unwilling!
Hera glanced at her boyfriend, her two BFFs, and the rest of the tour group. They were whispering to each other as though looking down on her.
She did not want to fulfill her promise, but she did not want to be humiliated by that pathetic worm. What should she do?
Suddenly, Hera had an idea...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 882-His Gaze Sent Chills Down Her Spine
Hera chuckled and spoke to Bianca arrogantly, "I'd love to bring my classmates on a trip, but I don't think I can do it this year."
Bianca blinked, and a hint of mockery appeared on her lips. "Oh, why is that?"
Hera grinned smugly. "You should know that you need a visa to travel, and it's such a hassle to apply for one. It'll take forever for everyone to get ready. Also, everyone's busy with their careers and families now, and we won't gather everyone. What's the point if we can't get everyone?"
She thought that she was quite smart for thinking of such an excuse.
Once she got out there, Bianca would not be able to find her.
Bianca frowned. "There are some countries..."
She wanted to say that certain countries, such as the Maldives and Mauritius, did not require a visa or offered visas upon arrival.
Hera interjected before she could finish her sentence.
She opened her eyes exaggeratedly. "You look confused. Don't tell me that you don't even have a passport!"
Minnie and Astra both smiled contemptuously.
"I don't think it's any of your business if I have a passport or not." Bianca was not going to answer such a stupid question, nor was she willing to entertain those women.
She glanced at them and was about to leave.
Hera rushed over and grabbed her. A hint of malice appeared in her eyes." Don't tell me that you were smuggled here, Bianca Rayne!"
The tour group whispered to each other when they heard that. novelbin
Everyone wondered if that young woman in luxury clothes had come to the country illegally.
It would be a serious crime if that were true!
Hera thought that her guess was correct, seeing that Bianca did not reply." Heh, I didn't expect that it's the case! How gutsy, you pathetic worm! Do you know that if the police arrest you, you'll be immediately sentenced to prison?"
Hera's boyfriend noticed that Bianca was frowning and thought that she was in distress. He grinned and walked up to her. "How about you come with us? It might be a little tricky since we're overseas, but it's not hard for me to get you a passport. You can call me Harvey."
His podgy hand reached toward Bianca.
Bianca took several steps back, and her expression sank. "Please mind your manners, Mister."
The plump man was stunned by Bianca's reaction. 'She's got quite the character!' He thought.
Hera was furious, but she dared not lose her temper. "I'm right next to you, Harvey. What do you want to do? Tell me, are you interested in that seductress?"
The plump man named Harvey said perversely, "Why would I? I won't be bothered with other women when I have you. I'm taking pity on your classmate. After all, she's from your town. It'd be very unlucky for her if she's arrested!" "Her luck has nothing to do with us!" Hera said maliciously, "She probably deserves it anyway. Alright, that's all I'm going to say about it. Serves her right if she gets caught. After all, she's only a pathetic worm..." "Oh, is that so?"
A clarion voice was heard. It was low and resonant like a double bass.
Following that was the firm stride of leather shoes on the floor.
Hera shut up instantly. Her eyes were transfixed on the incredibly handsome man that was walking toward Bianca.
All the eyes of the people from the tour group were looking at the same person too.
Bianca's horrid mood instantly brightened the moment she saw Luke.
The man's body was tall and well-built. The sun was shining behind him.
His face was hauntingly handsome, but his lips were pressed together coldly.
Luke shot an impassive glance at Hera, and his gaze fell on Bianca.
His gaze turned gentle when he saw that Bianca was composed.
"Wow, that man looks so handsome! He's a hundred times more handsome than any actor!" A woman from the tour group was instantly smitten. Her hands pressed on her hot cheeks to stop herself from shrieking.
"Huh? Isn't he Mr. Crawford, the CEO of T Corporation back in our country?" Someone soon recognized who he was.
After all, Luke's face frequently appeared in newspapers and on television. He was the face of T Corporation, and many people had a lasting impression of that impeccable face.
The tour group was prepared to watch the comedy unfold, but they were shocked when they saw Luke's appearance.
Some single women were already obsessed, while some were admiring and coveting him.
The man had tried to keep a low profile in the country, but he was very attractive. They did not expect to meet him in a foreign country.
Hera's expression changed drastically when she saw Luke. All the malice was instantly gone.
Her gaze became eager. "L... Luke?"
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief. The man in front of him was indeed Luke Crawford, her upperclassman in high school.
Luke was an outstanding student. He chaired the student council, and he was an elite basketball player. However, he was extremely aloof and distant. Many girls dreamed of being his girlfriend, but they could never realize their dreams.
Hera had always been obsessed with that boy. She had even handed him a love letter.
Unfortunately, Luke had rejected her.
Hera could not contain her excitement. She stepped forward and greeted him, "Are... are you really Luke Crawford, the upperclassman?" "Mm," Luke replied coldly. He went up to Bianca and gazed at her gently." Why haven't you gone back to the room?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard that. Hera's jaw dropped.
Why would that aloof and invulnerable upperclassman speak to that pathetic worm with such a gentle tone?
Hera stared at Luke with a hint of resentment in her gaze. She walked up to him and asked him, "Do you know Bianca Rayne?"
Luke shot an icy glance at her, which sent a chill down her spine...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 883-Like A Feather Tickling His Heart
Hera was shocked by Luke's icy gaze. She felt as though her heart was popping out of her chest.
She tried to calm herself down while still trying to dress down Bianca. "You probably don't know about her, Luke. Bianca and I used to be from the same town, and she's been a sleazy girl since I knew her. Not only does she have multiple boyfriends, but I’ve also heard that she secretly dates her teacher and trades her body for good results. Don't be deceived by her pure looks."
Bianca crossed her arms and watched in amusement how Hera was trying to slander her.
If she had a shorter temper, she would have slapped Hera several times already.
Of course, she did not do that. novelbin
If Hera found out that the "pathetic worm" had become Luke's wife, Bianca could not imagine the expression on her face!
'Hmm... this'll be interesting.'
Bianca could not help but grin when she thought of how Hera was digging her own grave.
Hera thought that Bianca's grin was supposed to instigate her.
She glanced at Bianca and said, "How are you still in the mood to smile, you pathetic worm? I'm ashamed to be from the same school as you."
Bianca's grin became even wider. "You're the one who should be ashamed of yourself. Don't involve me in this."
Bianca did not put on any makeup except for some moisturizer and sunscreen, but her fair and tender skin was many times better than Hera's rough skin covered by layers of makeup.
That grin utterly charmed Luke. He felt as though a feather was tickling his heart.
Luke could feel a warm current flowing within him as he stared at Bianca. He felt that his throat was dry.
Hera did not expect Bianca to talk back. Instantly, she retorted, "You must be out of your mind, you pathetic worm! You're the one who came here illegally, not me!" "You've always thought that you're in the right, Hera Sanchez. You can say whatever you want. I'm not in the mood to talk to idiots," Bianca said pleasantly.
Hera was shaking with anger.
She was trying to insult Bianca, but Bianca somehow seemed unaffected, which made her even angrier.
She hugged her boyfriend's meaty arm and said with equal parts of coyness and anger, "That pathetic worm is bullying me, Harvey. Won't you do something?"
Harvey was a businessman and naturally knew who Luke was. He might be rich, but he was nothing compared to Luke of the Crawfords.
He dared not say a word in front of Luke. He could not afford to offend him.
That man could ruin his fledgling business with just one finger.
Harvey glanced at the man fearfully and awkwardly shoved Hera away." Stop making a fuss. Don't you know who that man is? He..."
Before Hera could say anything, a low and resonant voice interjected," What is your name?"
Hera thought that she could melt when she heard that voice.
The women in the tour group were smitten, especially Minnie and Astra, who could not look away.
Hera was slightly disappointed that Luke did not remember her name.
However, she was ecstatic that the cold and aloof upperclassman was talking to her right now.
She blushed and quickly replied to Luke's question, forgetting that her boyfriend was standing right next to her. "I'm Hera Sanchez, Luke. Don't you remember me? I made you chocolate truffles when you were in a basketball match in school...”
Unfortunately, Luke tossed the box of chocolate truffles into the trash can in front of everyone, making Hera the subject of ridicule in school for a while.
"Hera Sanchez, is it? I remember you now.” A hint of impatience flashed in Luke's eyes.
He had to remember the name of his wife's bully.
Hera continued to speak boldly, "How about we have dinner together and catch up with each other, Luke? We're old friends after all. Also... are you married?"
Luke thought that it was a waste of time to talk to her. "I'm already married. Also, my wife and I are very busy. Let's not catch up with each other."
Hera was stunned.
'Luke is married? How is that possible?'
Luke did not publicize his wedding. Only the social elite of A City knew about it.
Hera was disappointed to find out that he was married, but she could not stop her emotions.
She stared at Luke's face without any reservation.
Her boyfriend felt awkward because of Hera's brazen gaze. Luke also found it appalling.
He strode up to Bianca and hugged her waist. "This is Bianca Rayne, my wife."
The people were utterly shocked when they heard Luke say that.
Hera was the most shocked of all.
She nearly jumped up. "How... How is that possible? That pathetic worm can't be your wife!"
Harvey could not believe it either. He stared at Bianca incredulously.
He had nearly offended the woman earlier. Would Luke do anything to him?
Luke's company was so powerful that it could even sway government policy. Harvey's company could never reach that level, no matter how he tried.
One would expect that someone of that status would marry a wife of an equally lofty status, so it was not surprising that no one believed that Bianca was Luke's wife.
However, they had to admit that it was true when they saw how intimate Luke and Bianca were...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 884-Hera Is Arrested
The people from the tour group began to discuss animatedly after hearing what Luke said.
A girl with a round face almost collapsed. Her friend managed to steady her. "I didn't expect that the girl was Mr. Crawford's wife. If that's the case, she couldn't have smuggled here..."
They did not expect that sudden revelation.
The subject of ridicule was actually the wife of the CEO of T Corporation.
"That's right!" The round-faced girl's friend was a tall young woman in glasses. "I thought that she looked somewhat extraordinary earlier. I bet Hera insulted her only because she's jealous of her." "Right. Hera looked so confident too! I nearly believed her. Tsk tsk, how shameless!" "Mr. Crawford's wife is so pretty. Look, I don't think she’s wearing any makeup. Her skin is so smooth. She's the perfect match with Mr. Crawford." "Look at Hera's boyfriend. He might be rich, but he's probably a windfall tycoon... Not to mention he looks like a pig. Poor Hera... heheh..."
Hera became the focus of discussion instead.
It was normal for those people to behave that way when they realized who between the two was the more influential figure.
Harvey glared angrily at the people in the tour group, but he dared not say anything.
Hera remained in shock, not knowing that the public opinion had swayed against her.
She could only shake her head in disbelief as she stared at Bianca. "That's impossible. You're a pathetic worm, Bianca. You don't have the right to marry Luke. His family won't accept her... if it were
true, she must have seduced him! You're a shameless woman, Bianca! You haven't changed since junior high!"
Luke pressed his lips tightly as he heard that woman insult his wife.
His icy gaze fell on Hera like the reaper's scythe.
He would have gotten physical on her, if not that he was principled enough to not be violent against women.
When Hera was about to continue insulting Bianca, several uniformed police officers came out from the hotel. They were in the middle of their regular patrols.
The police captain noticed Luke and went to greet him respectfully. "Is there any trouble, Mr. Crawford? How can we help?"
Luke glanced at Hera disgustedly and grimaced. "That's right. This woman here is slandering my wife." 'Who dares slander Mr. Crawford's wife!' The police captain thought as he turned toward where Luke was looking.
"Is this the woman who slandered your wife?"
Hera felt guilty when she saw the police officers appear. She began to panic when she heard the question. "I didn't slander you, Bianca. Minnie and Astra can be my witnesses. I swear that every word I said is true. How dare you deny it! Haven't you investigated her background, Mr. Crawford? She doesn't deserve you..."
Bianca's delicate face remained calm, though her gaze was icy. "You can tell the police that. We don't have time to listen to your nonsense here." "Don't hand me to the police, Luke. We were from the same school, and I used to have a crush on you!"
Hera turned to look at Luke pleadingly. She hoped that he would forgive her.
She did not expect that her insulting words would land her in legal trouble.
Perhaps Luke might forgive her. After all, they were from the same high school.
It would be very humiliating for her to go to jail in a foreign country, not to mention that no one would bail her out. The rest of her life would be ruined.
Of course, Hera did not know how ruthless Luke could get, or that Bianca was the only woman that Luke showed his gentle side.
Luke shot a hawk-like glance at the pathetic Hera. "That's enough. Take that crazy woman away," he said coldly.
The police captain took out a pair of handcuffs and locked them on Hera's wrists.
"Ah... don't arrest me. I was only joking. I didn't mean what I said... Please save me, Harvey..." Hera began to panic when she saw that the police officers were being serious. She turned to look pleadingly at her boyfriend. novelbin
The police captain asked Harvey sternly, "What relation do you have with this woman?" "I... I don't know her at all!"
Harvey did not want to get into trouble and instantly broke up with Hera. It was humiliating enough to have such an idiotic girlfriend!
Moreover, he had nearly offended Mr. Crawford's wife because of Hera.
Instead of offending Luke Crawford, he would rather break up with that stupid woman!
Hera nearly passed out from anger when she heard what her boyfriend said. She could only turn to look at her two "good friends." "Help me, Minnie, Astra! Please..."
Her two so-called BFFs did not want to have anything to do with her either.
They hurriedly explained to the police officers, "We're here with the tour group, officer. We don't know who that woman is!"
Hera was livid when she heard that.
Bianca smiled at the police officers. "There should be security cameras here, right? You can get the evidence from the footage. Thank you, officers.
"No problem at all, Mrs. Crawford," the police officer replied courteously.
"How dare you treat me like this, you pathetic worm! Just you wait!" Hera continued to bark like a rabid dog as she was dragged away by the police officers.
That was the end of the ridiculous episode.
'Hera dared to offend Mr. Crawford. Her life is ruined!' Everyone thought.
Bianca did not know that the episode would bring her great trouble some time in the future...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 885- Don't Touch My Wife
Bianca and Luke’s honeymoon lasted for almost two weeks.
On the last day of their honeymoon, they had planned to take a flight back to A City.
However, Percy's cruise ship happened to dock in the city they were in, and he invited the newly-wed couple on board.
The couple delayed their plans of returning and went on the ship.
The Mallory family ship was called the Zephyr. It was the property of the Mallory family, and it could sail freely on the open sea.
The cruise ship was more than ten floors high and could hold more than a thousand passengers. It cost a billion to build it.
The amenities of the luxury cruise ship included buffet restaurants, swimming pools, clubs, bars, gyms, galleries, space simulator rides, casinos, and so on.
Only the top hundred wealthiest individuals in the world would receive an invitation to board the cruise ship. All other passengers would have to pay for an expensive ticket to enjoy what the ship had to offer.
Everything above the tenth floor was private Mallory territory. No visitors could enter there.
Bianca stood on the deck and admired the immensity of the cruise ship.
She could not imagine that the incredibly wealthy Mallory family had built several gardens of different styles on the ship. There were all sorts of tropical flowers, verdant shrubs, towering trees, and even tantalizing fruits.
"I've never seen such a luxurious cruise ship before. Percy is too rich!" Bianca could not help but exclaim as she held on to the railings."... I wonder how much of it is illegally earned?"
Luke hugged her from the back, rested his head on her shoulder, and smiled. "Mm. If you'd like it, I can build a bigger and more luxurious ship for you."
Bianca shook her head hurriedly. "I was just saying. Please don't be rash. The Mallories run their business on this ship, but I have no use for one. That'll only be a waste. I'm not going to waste your money..." "Heheheh..." Luke hugged Bianca more tightly and took a deep breath.
His nose was buried in her hair. "I’ll do whatever that makes you happy."
Bianca smiled when she heard that, and she gently pecked his lips. "That’s all I want to hear. I don’t need anything but you."
Every second with him was pure bliss.
She hoped that she would never tire of that sensation.
The Zephyr set sail into the shining sea. Melodious music could be heard in the air.
Thanks to Luke, Bianca managed to ride on a cruise ship.
If it were her alone, she would never want to pay for the trip.
Nina was also on the ship, keeping Percy company. She was dressed in a dark red Bohemian dress that contrasted with her fair skin and delicate face.
She seemed to be in good spirits, but she had become thinner.
She seemed out of place when standing next to Percy.
Percy and Luke reclined on lounge chairs and discussed business while Bianca and Nina were at the side, chatting.
"How have you been, Nina? Did he... bully you?" She asked.
Nina's gaze wavered when she looked at Bianca. She forced a smile. "Look at me, all decked out in luxury clothing. I'm finally in high society now, and I have unlimited money to spend. Can't you see how carefree I am?" "You..." Bianca did not know what to say when she looked at the smile on Nina's face.
Only Nina would know if she was truly happy.
"Percy, Percy! I’m back!”
A crisp and girlish voice from the deck broke the silence between the two women.
Bianca and Nina turned their heads in surprise. They saw a petite girl skipping and hopping into Percy's arms.
The girl hugged Percy's neck and said coyly, "I miss you, Percy! Do you miss me?" "Mm, I miss you." The usually stern Percy Mallory landed a wet kiss on the girl's cheek and tousled her unkempt hair. novelbin
It was the first time that Nina had seen Percy so friendly.
The man rarely smiled. Even if he did, it was always a sinister or plotting one. The smile on his face now was completely carefree.
She was shocked as she looked at the two people.
The girl seemed young; she was probably about sixteen years old. She wore a pink pearl hairband. Her delicate face was petite and round, her long and curly hair fell carelessly on her shoulder, which added to her cute charm.
The girl pushed herself away from Percy, then kissed Luke heavily. "I miss you too, Luke!" "..." Bianca was speechless.
She was surprised that Luke had allowed another female to kiss her, though she guessed that they must have known each other for a long time.
Luke noticed that Bianca was staring at the girl. His expression sank, and he hurriedly explained the situation to his wife. "Bianca, this is Daphne, Percy's younger sister. I've known her since she was a baby... Daphne, this is Bianca Rayne, my wife."
Daphne ran in front of Bianca and carefully looked at her. "Nice to meet you, Bianca! Wow, you're so beautiful. You look like you've walked out of a fairytale!"
The young girl gently touched Bianca’s face with her fair and tender finger, but Luke instantly glared at her.
"Don’t touch my wife!"
Daphne pouted and complained, "You don't love me anymore because you have a wife now! Of course, if I were you, I wouldn't want anyone else touching my beautiful wife either."
She turned to look at Nina, who was sitting beside Bianca, and could not help but poke her chest out of curiosity. "Wow, these are so big! Are they real?"
Nina blushed and turned around to avoid the young girl’s finger.
She could not imagine how a man as cold and ruthless as Percy could have such an innocent younger sister.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 886-When Will She Taste Freedom?
To Bianca, that young girl was innocent, carefree, and perhaps a little too naive.
She could not bear to see Nina being embarrassed, so she blocked Daphne's hand and asked her, "Are you really Percy's younger sister?” "Of course. Don't you think that I look like Percy?" The girl smiled brilliantly like the starry sky.
She looked like an angel.
Bianca carefully studied Percy and Daphne's faces. Other than the face, there was no similarity at all.
Percy's eyes were thin, almond-shaped, and had an exotic charm to them. On the other hand, Daphne's eyes were round like a cat's eyes and had a glint of mischief in them.
Most importantly, what differentiated Daphne from her elder brother was her warm, sweet, and innocent demeanor, unlike Percy, who seemed like the devil.
No one would have realized that the cold and ruthless man would be related to the adorable young girl.
"Welcome back to the Zephyr, Ms. Daphne."
Several servants stood neatly in a row and greeted Daphne.
Daphne was used to such scenes. She nodded at them and went back to pester her elder brother. "Let me tell you about the countries I've visited, Percy..."
Percy began to patiently coax Daphne. It was the first time that Nina had seen the man's gentle side.
"Did you come back yourself, or did Pierre bring you back?" "Pierre brought me, of course. He's busy flirting with women now, and he doesn't care about me anyway. Why don't you talk to him about it,
Percy..."
Nina shuddered involuntarily when she overheard their conversation.
'Pierre is here too! What should I do if I meet him?'
Nina had been distracted ever since she knew that Pierre was also on board the Zephyr.
When Percy brought her to his private quarters, she found the courage to ask him, "Why did you bring me along?" "Don't forget your status. As my partner, you should know what to do. I don't have to teach you." "You've already told me, and we've already signed a contract. Our time together ended a few days ago..." "But I'm addicted to you, Nina. You're as endearing as a rose. Can't I have you for a little longer?" 'Addicted?
'To me?'
Nina's eyes opened wide in surprise and stared at Percy uneasily.
Before she could ask him what he meant, he lifted her in his arms and placed her on the handrail.
"What... what do you want?"
Nina was afraid of water. She would feel dizzy whenever she looked at the sea.
A flock of seagulls glided through the air around her. Appearing sporadically among the clouds.
The silver waves crashed onto the ship, and the droplets that scattered through the air sparkled like diamonds.
Nina was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty. She did not know how to swim, and all she could do was hold on to Percy's shirt tightly, in case she fell overboard and became the sharks' next meal.
"Don't be afraid. Try to enjoy the beauty of the world with your heart. You don't have anything to worry about with me next to you."
A smile appeared on Percy's face. He pulled her face away from his chest and forced her to look at the horizon.
Nina's fear subsided a little when she saw his encouraging gaze and the seemingly mocking smile on his face. She grunted reluctantly, gradually loosened her grip, and began to look around her.
The ship had sailed out of the port and into the open sea.
The ship's bow sliced the sea into two and formed waves as it moved forward.
The horn sounded proudly, as though nothing in the world could stop the ship.
As the ship sped across the waves, the entire world seemed to spin around one's feet.
"Aaaaaaaaa! Aaaaaaaaa!"
Nina cupped her hands around her mouth and began to yell at the sea, pouring her suppressed emotions into her voice.
That was the first time she had released her emotions. It was a cathartic experience.
Percy's arms were around her waist. He seemed indifferent to Nina's changing expressions as she yelled.
The man's profound gaze fell on her delicate face. No one knew what he was thinking.
About ten minutes later, Nina's voice was almost hoarse. She leaned backward and fell on his chest.
Once, she had dreamed of being able to spend a day at sea with the man she loved.
However, the man beside her now was not one that she loved.
They were neither lovers nor friends, even though they had made out in bed with each other. That was a purely financial transaction that fulfilled each other's needs.
"When will our contract end?" The couple seemed intimate as their skin touched, but Nina's words were as cold as ice.
Percy glanced at her. His heart continued to thump rhythmically.
Suddenly, he pinched her lower jaw hard as though threatening to crush it." Why, do you want it to end so that you can look for another rich man?"
Nina's heart sank, and she closed her eyes in agony. The comfortable sea breeze had become countless sharp knives that dug deep into her heart.
"I don't get it, Mr. Mallory. You should have been able to get any woman you want with the amount of wealth and influence you have. There are so many beautiful women in the world, and I'm the most unremarkable one. I don't know what makes me so special to you. We've been together so long, and you should have been bored with me. Aren't you going to get yourself someone fresh?" She roared.
She had always understood that they were from different worlds.
To him, her status was as low as dust. A plain woman like her would not have been able to captivate a man of his status, and he would not be satisfied by one woman.
Nina was tired of her current life.
As she grew in age, she began to desire a normal life like Bianca or Sue. They already had a significant other and children. Whenever she hugged those children, she did not want to let go. She would also like to be a mother and enjoy marital bliss...
However, she was nothing more than a pet in a cage to Percy!
She was almost losing her mind. When would the man give her the freedom she deserved?
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 888-I Didn't Expect That You’re Such A Good Friend
Nina's face turned pale very quickly after seeing Pierre's appearance.
Even her body began to tremble slightly.
"You don't look too good, Nina. Do you want to go back and rest in your cabin?" Bianca also noticed Pierre. The same hatred appeared in her eyes, and she held onto Nina's hand to comfort her.
Nina's heart turned cold when she saw the man who had gravely hurt her appear in front of her eyes as though nothing happened.
The sensation was like walking on a knife's edge. The pain spread through her limbs.
Pierre Mallory, that animal that had ruined her life!
"Nina..." Bianca seemed worried about the change in Nina's demeanor." How about..."
Nina shook her head and said determinedly, Don't worry about me, Bea. You don't have to try to comfort me. I'll eventually have to face this obstacle myself. Moreover, I'm not the one who's at fault here. Why should
I suffer alone while the culprit remains free?"
Nina nearly screamed when she asked that question.
She was quite an easy-going woman and rarely lost her temper, but the events of the day made her want to vent completely.
She could not control her emotions when scenes of her violation resurfaced in her mind.
"Nina..." Bianca did not know what else to say to her friend.
She could see the tears in her eyes and the sorrow that spread throughout her body, which made her seem extraordinarily frail.
Nina's broken voice seemed so forlorn in the spacious lobby. "I'm fine, Bianca. You don't have to worry about me."
She tried to calm herself down and make her sound as normal as possible, but she could not hide the timidity in her voice.
Pierre walked over with a bevy of women surrounding him, like an ancient emperor surrounded by his harem.
His face was almost perfect and stood out even among the beautiful women. The disdainful smirk on his face made him seem like a villain.
"Pierre..."
The women around him tried their best to gain his favor. They tried to push away the two women in his arms so that they could take their places.
"There's no rush, my queens. You all will have your turn." Pierre pinched one and fondled another. His indulgent behavior disgusted Nina, especially when considering that he had violated her.
If she had a knife in her hand, she would not hesitate to stab it in his heart.
"What a pig of a man. Pierre is so different from his elder brother. I bet he'll get his just desserts sooner or later!" Bianca spoke up because Pierre had hurt her best friend.
She was not at liberty to criticize Pierre because he was Percy's younger brother, but she could not help but say something considering that he had harmed her best friend. novelbin
Nina seemed to know what Bianca was thinking and gently pulled her hand. "It's fine, Bea. He's only a dog who had once bitten me. I'm not going to bite it back."
She knew that Bianca was stuck in a tough spot because Bianca’s husband was a good friend of Pierre's elder brother. Luke would help Bianca if she offended Pierre, nor would he blame her, but Nina did not want to owe Bianca another debt of gratitude.
Nina did not want trouble, but trouble always found her.
Pierre also noticed Nina. He was surprised at first, but he soon smirked sarcastically. "Hey, isn't that Nina Langdon? Why, the famous miser in high school is aboard the Zephyr! It doesn't look like you can afford to ride here. Did some man pay for your ticket? Fine, seeing that we were once bed partners, I'll pay for your expenses today..."
He sounded as though he was a charitable man.
Bianca stood up angrily from her seat and flung a glass of champagne at Pierre's face. "Watch your mouth, Pierre Mallory! Not every woman wants to flatter you. I haven't gotten even with you for bullying Nina yet. Do you even consider yourself a man?" "Ah, who is this woman, Pierre? She just threw a drink at your face!" "Yes, you have to punish her! She's too arrogant!"
The women around Pierre took out napkins to carefully wipe Pierre’s face while shooting daggers at Bianca.
Pierre pushed the women around him away, wiped the champagne off his face with his hand, and glared sinisterly at Bianca. "Don't think that I won't do anything to you just because you have Luke
Crawford behind you! He might be my elder brother's friend, but he's not my friend. Do you understand?"
Nina clenched her fists. Her gaze was like a bloody dagger that stared at Pierre. "Come at me if you want anything. Don't harm Bianca!" "Heh, I didn't expect that you're such a good friend. I've underestimated you." In the next second, Nina felt a warm breath next to her ear.
Nina felt as though a venomous snake was sticking its tongue at her neck.
Instantly, her eyes widened, and she slapped toward Pierre's face. "Get lost, you animal..."
Nina wanted to slap him again, but Pierre grabbed her by the wrist and laughed in anger. "I knew that you're a naughty little kitten. Looks like you need to be taught a lesson!"
He pulled Nina toward him and hugged her tightly. She could not get away no matter how hard she struggled.
"Looks like you've forgotten the lesson that I've taught you. You'll need a refresher!" Pierre narrowed his gaze, lifted Nina over his shoulder, and walked toward the cabin.
Everyone was stunned by the scene. They could only watch as Pierre brought Nina away.
Only Bianca stood in his way angrily. "You'd better behave, Pierre Mallory.
Put Nina down now!"
Pierre shoved Bianca away with his strong arm. "Hmph! Who do you think you are?"
Bianca stumbled and fell, and her forehead struck the corner of the seat. Drops of blood stained her fair forehead...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 889-Kneading Her Body Into His
Bianca felt a sharp pain on her forehead. She touched it and felt that it was wet. The bright red strains on her fingers told her that her forehead was bleeding.
However, that was not the time to care for her wounds.
Bianca was extremely worried, seeing that Nina was about to be taken away. Suddenly, she saw Luke and Percy coming from afar.
"Luke!"
Bianca cried out hurriedly. Luke stopped talking to Percy when he heard his wife calling his name and looked around to find his wife.
When he saw that his wife's forehead was bleeding, his usually profound eyes were filled with anger.
He walked toward Bianca in big strides, hugged her tightly in his arms, and said, "Who did this?" His voice was like thunder.
Bianca pointed at Pierre with her delicate hand and said anxiously, "Pierre bullied Nina, and he's taking her away against her will..."
Luke's fiery gaze shot toward Pierre, and he frowned. "Did Pierre hurt you?"
Bianca leaned against his chest and bit her lip. She did not confirm it, nor did she deny it. She only gazed resentfully at Pierre as though her eyes were needles dipped in poison.
Luke instantly understood what happened, and his gentle demeanor suddenly turned as cold as ice. "Looks like it's time for your younger brother to learn a bloody lesson, Percy. I don't mind teaching him
a lesson if you're not willing!"
Percy went ahead and blocked Pierre's way.
His hands were in his pockets, and his eyes gradually turned bloodshot as he looked at his younger brother carrying Nina over his shoulder.
He did not say a word, but his imposing demeanor inspired fear from the people around him. Even the usually brazen Pierre began to stammer.
"I didn't mean to hurt her, Percy. She should’ve minded her own business... Nina has been disobeying me repeatedly, and she nearly sent me to jail. I want her to know that I'm not one to be trifled with, and she should pay the price for what she's done to me! Mind your own business, Percy!"
Nina had been struggling in Pierre's arms, and she had even drawn blood from biting Pierre's shoulder. When she saw the two brothers in a standoff, she suddenly became quiet.
She stared mockingly at Percy, wondering how he would deal with his younger brother.
Percy was a head taller than Pierre.
He took a step toward Pierre and glared downward at him. "You're not a child anymore, Pierre. Don't you feel embarrassed for causing such a scene? Put her down now!"
Nine could not tell Percy's emotion from his voice.
Pierre was not going to obey his elder brother just like that. "I'm not going to, Percy! Don't you know what she did? She..." He shouted exasperatedly.
"I said, put herdown!"
Percy's thin almond-shaped eyes under his thick brows were usually profound and enchanting. Whenever he got angry, he would slightly lift his eyelids, which made him look eerily sinister.
The passengers of the cruise ship stood around and watched the sudden family drama expectantly.
The Mallory siblings were arguing because of a woman. That was sensational news. They were surprised that the woman seemed unremarkable despite having a rather shapely body. She was not that special after all...
Perhaps those brothers had unique tastes.
Pierre was shocked by his brother's expression. He did not want to let go of his "prey," but he was eventually cowed by his brother's authority.
He tossed Nina on the floor and said, "Hmph, I guess it's your lucky day today. I wouldn't have forgiven you otherwise!"
He left angrily with his bevy of women.
Before he walked away, he shot a murderous glare at Nina.
"Nina..." Bianca wanted to go ahead and check on her friend, but Luke was hugging her tightly.
Bianca smiled apologetically at Nina. She wanted to say something, but Nina smiled weakly at her and indicated that she was fine.
Luke led Bianca away. Nina breathed a sigh of relief, but Percy's slender fingers propped up her chin and forced her to look at him.
He towered over her, but she looked at him defiantly.
"Not bad. You've somehow managed to seduce my younger brother while seducing me." He sounded unhappy, but at the same time condescending.
"Let go of me!" Nina wanted to struggle, but all strength seemed to have left her body. Her body did not seem to be under her control.
Percy's finger traced a path on her delicate face and neck. "I don't know what's so charming about you. Your figure is barely passable, so I don't know what my younger brother sees in you."
Nina closed her eyes and ignored his insults. She had nothing to explain to him.
'Heh, how ridiculous.'
Was she the one who seduced Pierre Mallory? That was the funniest joke she had ever heard.
"Why, don't you have anything to say?" Percy took her hand and frowned slightly.
Her palm was not tender like other women's. Instead, it was rough and calloused, as though she was used to menial labor.
Nina had never hated Percy's gaze on her as much as she did now. He had piled baseless accusations upon her, and he was inspecting her as though she was an item on display.
The gaze made her feel humiliated. It was not the first time she had been humiliated like this, but she felt uneasy when looking into his eyes.
She had enough of her current life.
One day, she would eventually break free of his clutches!
In the VIP cabin, Luke cleaned Bianca’s wound with antiseptic and applied some cooling ointment. Throughout the process, his demeanor remained ice-cold.
He was quite rough with his actions, as though he deliberately wanted to hurt Bianca.
Bianca looked at his face and tugged his shirt sleeve guiltily. "Don't be like that, Luke. I didn't mean to hurt myself. It was only an accident. It won't happen again."
Luke wanted to ignore her.
However, when he looked at her pitiable face and the slight bump on her forehead, he could not help but hug her tightly in his arms, knead her body into his, and take in her fragrance...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 887- Intertwined, But Thinking of Separate Things
Nina lowered her head and used her shoulder-length hair to obscure her face.
She did not want anyone to see her weakness, especially that man in front of her.
"Don't you feel any affection for me after being together for so long?" Percy smiled sinisterly as he gripped Nina's jaw and maintained his superior demeanor.
Nina felt her heart wrench.
Her head remained lowered. "Both of us have something we want, and affection doesn't come into the picture. If I have any affection toward you, it's because I can't find a more generous man."
Nina's voice was soft, but her words were mocking.
Percy's sinister gaze wavered. He turned her around by her shoulders. "Do you like it here?"
Nina tried to swallow her tears, but she could not control them from falling down her face.
She lifted her head to look at the boundless blue sky. When she managed to compose herself, she nodded without showing any hint of her previous emotions. "The sea and the sky are beautiful. I don't think anyone would not like it here."
Percy suddenly laughed.
His beautiful face bloomed like a flower in spring.
His thin eyes were transfixed on Nina's face as he asked gently, "Then... do you like me?"
Nina was startled. She suddenly felt uneasy.
She touched his face in bewilderment. "What's wrong with you today, Percy Mallory? Did you... knock your head on something?"
Nina could hear her heart thump wildly as she stared at his bewitching face and those "soulful" eyes.
She did not want to fall into that man's trap.
She turned her head away to avert his passionate gaze. Keeping true to her personality, she declined his advances.
Percy's lips opened and closed as though he only wanted to hear the answer he desired. "Not even the slightest bit?"
Nina brushed the hair next to her ear.
She was not an idiot, and she knew how to give and take.
She tried to regain her composure so that she sounded like her normal self. "Our relationship is nothing more than employer and employee. Don't you think that it's ridiculous to talk about our feelings? Why, don't tell me that you like me?"
Percy smiled as though he was told a funny joke. "You're a smart woman, Nina. Why would you ask that stupid question?"
Nina took a deep breath and felt bitterness flood her mouth. "I can ask you the same."
She knew that Percy was a heartless man and that she was insignificant to her.
He might treat her nicely, and sometimes he might even give her the feeling that they were lovers, but that was nothing more than an illusion.
She could not escape the fate of being abandoned, so why should she try in the first place?
If he did not love her, then she did not have to love him either. However, was that really the case?
Percy held her clammy hand with his hefty palm and hugged her in his arms.
She leaned on his sturdy chest.
Percy's cheek rested on Nina's shoulder. He indicated to her to look up." The weather is nice today."
The water was as blue as the purest sapphire, and the horizon glimmered with golden light. The sky reflected the color of the sea, and the seagulls were calling. It was like a dream.
"The weather is nice indeed." Nina tried to forget her worries, and a smile began to bloom on her face as she looked at the beautiful sight.
Percy gently pecked her cherry lips.
Nina's body stiffened for a while before she rested her head on his shoulder.
"Percy Mallory..." Nina called out his name.
"Hm?" Percy's profound eyes glanced at her gently, waiting for her to continue.
"Do you know, Percy, that I once bore your younger brother's child in my womb? The baby has become nothing more than a puddle of blood, and my womb is damaged because of him. If you found out that the two of you have had relations with the same woman, would you find it disgusting?"
That was what she wanted to say, but she did not have the courage to say it. She could only bury that shameful secret deep in her heart.
When they first made out, Nina was happy as though she had avenged herself.
She wanted to see the brothers turn on each other. Now, she felt that she had been so silly. Before she could carry out her revenge, she had already fallen into his trap.
She wanted to cry, but she had to force herself to smile in front of him.
The man seemed to be able to read her heart. Nina could not hide her emotions in front of him.
She did not want to say another word. She could only climb up his neck and deliver her lips to his.
Percy was surprised that Nina had taken the initiative, but he did not ask any questions. Instinctively, he pried open her lips with his tongue.
Deeper, deeper...
The two bodies became more intimate.
Even though their bodies intertwined, they were thinking of separate things
In the lobby, Bianca sipped a cocktail while chatting with Nina. "Where have you been, Nina? I've been searching for you. I also tried calling you, but you didn't pick up. I thought that you had fallen into the sea..."
Nina sat lazily on a high stool. "Don't worry. Even if I fall into the sea, I'll drag you along with me."
Bianca chuckled, though she noticed something on Nina's neck.
She gently touched the deep red mark on Nina's neck and said knowingly," Mm? Were you making out earlier? You're not even hiding the obvious evidence..." "What?" Nina slapped Bianca's hand away and took out a hand mirror from her handbag.
Through the mirror, she saw the deep mark near the back of her neck.
'Percy, you b*stard!'
She cursed at Percy under her breath as she took out pressed powder from her handbag and smothered the mark, only taking a breath of relief when the mark could be barely seen.
As Nina closed the hand mirror, she caught a glimpse of the repulsive face that she could never forget.
The man was walking amid a bevy of women in their direction..
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 890-Looks Like You Need a Lesson!
Bianca knew that Luke was blaming himself for not taking care of her.
However, there was little that she could do given those circumstances.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. If I didn't try to stop him, Pierre would have taken Nina away. Pierre once harmed her because of me. If she falls into his hands again, I don't know what he would do to her... I'd feel even more guilty if that happens. Do you want that to happen?"
If Nina was once again violated by Pierre, she might not recover from the trauma.
Bianca's puppy-dog eyes would usually work on Luke. However, they did not seem to have any effect this time.
The man looked at her with a scorching gaze, i
He pinned her arms against the wall.
Luke kneaded Bianca's delicate neck. "That's not the reason why you should act on impulse. You don't know what Pierre Mallory can do to you. This time, you hurt your forehead when you tried to go against him. Next time, he might want your life instead. Why didn't you give me a call or ask someone to get me? Hm?"
He did not use excessive force, but Bianca could not help but cry out in pain."... I know I'm wrong, Luke. I won't do it again. Please forgive me..."
Luke pinned Bianca on the bed and frowned. "Should I do something practical to make sure that you've learned your lesson?"
He seemed to have pressed his entire body weight on her body.
Bianca almost could not breathe, and her petite mouth was almost contorted. "Don't be angry anymore. How about I make dinner for you later?
After she said that, she remembered that they were on a luxury cruise ship.
Any of the professional chefs on board could cook better than her.
She frowned in frustration, but Luke gently nibbled her earlobe. "I'm hungry, but not for food..."
Bianca struggled and grabbed onto his neck. "No, I cant. We just did it yesterday, and I still need time to recover."
Luke's hands swam under her clothes. "You'll have to do it anyway. That's for making me angry." "... Ugh... I thought that you're a gentle and caring husband, but you're not caring at all... ugh... you b*stard..."
Luke smiled sinisterly, tore off her gown, and breathed next to her ear. "If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll be rushing head-on into danger again
Bianca did not have a reply to that.
Luke abruptly got off the bed.
Bianca saw Luke rummaging for something in the drawer.
Tm in the safe period now, Luke. You don't need it," she said softly as she stared at Luke's handsome side profile.
Luke bent down and gently kissed her forehead. No, I'll have to make sure that your body is protected. I know that childbirth is very damaging to a woman's body, and I'm grateful that you have given me
three cute and smart children. I'm already satisfied, and I don't want your body to go through the process anymore. Moreover, I need to attend many business dinners lately, and I don't want to have an accident happen when I'm drunk."
Bianca thought that it was indeed the case.
She wanted a few more children, but it was quite troublesome to raise them.
She still had her business to grow, and she would rather spend her time on her career, not staying at home and becoming a housewife ignorant to the happenings in the outside world.
Meanwhile, Leia dressed herself in exquisite clothes and went to Brody's house to meet his parents.
Brody had only opened the door when the caretaker came with his indoor slippers. "You're back. Master Brody. She is..." "Oh, this is Leia Norman, my girlfriend. I'm bringing her to meet Grandma today." Brody held Leia's hand and smugly introduced Leia to the caretaker.
Leia smiled sweetly at the caretaker and said courteously, "Nice to meet you. Please..."
Bang!
Before Leia could finish her sentence, the sound of a teacup slamming heavily on the table could be heard in the living room.
An old woman with a noble demeanor sat on a velvet couch with gold trimmings.
Her well-maintained face barely had any wrinkles, and she looked young. However, she seemed to be not in a good mood.
Leia was shocked by the sudden loud sound. When she glanced over, she saw the old woman pulling her braceleted hand away, while the coffee table was wet with small puddles of spilled tea.
The caretaker frantically ran over. "Is the tea too hot, Madam?"
Brody saw that his grandmother was angry. He quickly went up to her, took her hand, and gently blew on it. "Is your hand hurt? I'll cool down your hand for you..."
The old woman broke into laughter, and her frowning face turned into a loving one. "Why did you only come home after so long? Don't you know that your grandma misses you?"
Brody smiled too. "I know that you miss me, Grandma, and that’s why I'm here to visit you. Right, this is Leia Norman, my girlfriend. Weren't you always worried that I don't have a significant other? She's here to visit you."
He shot a glance at Leia, indicating that she should greet the old woman.
Leia walked over timidly and stood in front of the old woman with her most dignified pose. "Grandma," she greeted her.
"I’m not your grandma!"
The old woman glanced at Leia coldly before standing up and walked to the stairs.
Leia stood there awkwardly. She did not expect that the situation would go out of control
