Billionaire’s Mistress

Leanna’s POV

I felt a little guilty. “But this child is not yours. Is it really appropriate for us to deceive them like this? I always feel sorry for their concern for me.”

“Don’t think about it. Now that you married me, your child is my child legally. As long as we two don’t tell each other, no third person in the world will know this secret. All lies that are not exposed are not lies, understand?”

Although I understand that he said that mostly to comfort me, I still decided to accept his kindness and stop blaming myself for these things.

“Well, go to bed and have a rest. I have to go to the study to deal with some business.” He helped me lie down on the bed and then turned around to leave the bedroom.

I lay quietly on the bed, staring at the ceiling. I have experienced too many things today, and my emotions fluctuated greatly. At this time, I am quite tired.

Before long, I fell asleep.

When Evelyn knew that I got married, she was so happy that she called me.

In the end, I treated her a big meal.

Because I’m newly married, Whitney accepted me as her daughter-in-law for the sake of my baby, so she carefully arranged and taught me to become an elegant and dignified lady like her.

So after I adapted to the life of the King family, she took me out to socialize.

Most of the time, it was Whitney who played cards with those rich ladies. I sat next to her and chatted with her.

On the date of the dinner with Evelyn, I changed into casual clothes and was about to go. But before I went out, my mother-in-law stopped me.

“Leanna, where are you going?” She looked at me and asked.

In fact, I had told her that I was going out today, but apparently she forgot it. “Mom, I have an appointment with my friend to invite her to dinner today. I have told you this.”

She thought for a while and remembered, “it seems so. What kind of friend is he? A man or a woman? What does he do

“She is my best friend in high school. Now she works in The Fisher group.”.

“Leanna, I don’t mean to care about you, but you have to remember your current identity. You are not the former Leanna. You are now the daughter-in-law of the King family. Everyone is watching you. If you are not careful enough, it is very likely that you will lose the face of our King family. Do you understand?”

When I heard this, I roughly understood what she meant, so I said, “Mom, thank you for your advice. ”

Speaking of this She just said lightly, “Okay, you should be honest. Since you have made an appointment, then go. But don’t forget that you are pregnant now. Don’t stay outside too late, okay?”

“I see. I’ll be back soon after dinner.” I promised. When I went out of the hall and walked towards the door, the driver had already driven the car to the door and waited for me.

The Fansa Restaurant was the most high-end French restaurant in City Y, and they had to make an appointment in advance to have dinner here. Otherwise, there would be no seats for them to come here temporarily. Evelyn asked someone to book a table in advance.

I made an appointment with her at the door of the restaurant. We waited for the elevator in the elevator and were about to go upstairs.

The elevator came up from the underground parking lot., the elevator door opened. Evelyn and I were about to walk inside when we heard her exclaim with joy, “Mr. Edmund…”

When I heard what she called me, I suddenly looked up and saw Edmund’s cold eyes.

What kind of tragedy is it that we all meet like this?

The first thought in my mind at that time was to escape!

But before I could put my idea into action, I was dragged into the elevator by Evelyn.

“Mr. Edmund, what a coincidence! Are you here for dinner too?” When Evelyn saw Edmund, a flattering smile appeared on her face.

“Mr. Edmund, who are these two beauties?” A middle-aged man next to Edmund asked curiously as he glanced at Evelyn and me.

Edmund stared at me without saying anything.

Evelyn broke the awkward atmosphere. “Hello, sir. The man next to me is… From Mr. Edmund…”

“Friend!” A cold voice suddenly came from the front. Taking over Evelyn’s words, Edmund also looked away from me.

“So you are a friend of Mr. Edmund.” Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and asked Evelyn, “are you two going upstairs for dinner too?”

“Yes.” Evelyn replied with a bright smile.

“Since you are a friend of Mr. Edmund, then you are also our friend. Since we are destined to meet, how about we go together?” As the middle-aged man spoke, he glanced at me and said, “Mr. Edmund, what do you think?”

“No, thanks. We won’t disturb you two.” I came to my senses from the shock just now and refused without hesitation.

At this time, the elevator had arrived at the door of the restaurant. The door opened. I quickly pulled Evelyn out of the elevator and walked into the restaurant.

After checking our information, the waiter at the door took us to the reserved seats. After ordering, Evelyn looked at me with suspicion. “Leanna, what’s wrong with you? Why do I feel that you are afraid of Mr. Edmund?”

“No, I didn’t.” I denied, but the trembling hand holding the glass betrayed me.

Seeing this, Evelyn thought for a while and said, “is it because you used to be his housekeeper, and now you suddenly become his sister-in-law, who is on the same level as him? ”

That’s true. But it’s not because I was his butler before, but because I’m his woman.

I don’t want to continue this topic, so I asked, “how are you doing recently?”

Evelyn became weak all of a sudden. “What do you mean? I’m not married to a rich man. I have to work hard every day to earn money and support myself.”

“Don’t you think it’s a good idea?” God knows how much I envy her.

A decent job, loving her parents, enough to support her own salary, free every day without any trouble, how relaxed she was.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Of course not. Especially, you have married into a rich family, and I am still single. I don’t care. After dinner, you have to invite me to go shopping and buy me gifts, or I will be jealous of you.” She looked at me with resentment.

“Okay, I’ll buy you anything you want.” I agreed without hesitation. Eugene gave me a sub card with an unlimited credit limit.

I don’t need money, but if buying some gifts can make my best friend happy, I’m willing to spend it.

“That’s what you said. You can buy anything you want. Wait a minute. I’ll take out my phone and check the strategy of The Emperor Mall to see what’s the most expensive one.” She took out her phone to browse the news.

Looking at her cute appearance, I showed a faint smile.

Edmund’s POV

Sitting in the box, a group of businessmen were talking. The originally elegant French style dinner, after their commercial baptism, was now filled with the smell of stink money.

Halfway through the meal, I was already a little impatient.

Putting down the tableware, I picked up a napkin and wiped my mouth. Then I stood up and said, “I’m full. Enjoy your meal. Just send the details of the cooperation case to my assistant.”

“Mr. Edmund, you… You are leaving now? Your dishes are still untouched…” Payne asked cautiously as she saw me get up.

“I’m full.” Then I turned around and walked outside.

When I walked out of the room and passed by the hall, I was about to leave when I accidentally saw two women talking happily in a seat near the window.

I used to like her bright and clean smile, which made me want to give her a lot of love.

But now, when I see the smile on that face, I feel particularly dazzling.

Because I met her, I lost my appetite to eat.

But on the contrary, she ate happily.

How can a person who has betrayed me smile?

Leanna’s POV

I suddenly felt a chill on my back, as if someone was staring at me.

But when I looked back, I saw nothing but a familiar figure disappearing in my sight.

Did I have an illusion because I was too sensitive?

I shook my head and told myself not to think too much.

After lunch with Evelyn, we were about to leave. Evelyn couldn’t digest the expensive food here, so she had a stomachache and went to the bathroom.

When I was waiting for her at the elevator door, a man suddenly walked over from behind me. He looked at me and asked, “Miss, are you a friend of Mr. Edmund?”

I looked at him suspiciously and did not answer.

“Here is the thing. Mr. King is in the parking lot downstairs. He wants to talk to you and let me take you to him.” The man added.

At this time, I can basically conclude that the man’s Mr King was Edmund.

But what else can I say to him?

“Go and tell Mr. Edmund that I’m waiting for my friend. I don’t have time to see him.” I refused coldly. I didn’t intend to see him at all.

“Miss, it will be difficult for me to do so.” The man refused to give up.

I don’t want to talk to him anymore. I just stare at the elevator door in front of me without saying anything.

“Since you don’t want to cooperate, I’ll offend you.” He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and covered my mouth and nose before I could react.

The pungent smell rushed into my respiratory tract. In only two seconds, I completely lost consciousness.

I didn’t know how long I had been in a coma. When I woke up, I found myself lying in a luxuriously decorated room.

Judging from the decoration of the room, I think this should be a club, and it is at least a five star club.

Outside the window, it was already dark. Looking out of the room, I could see the lights of the whole city. The scenery was beautiful.

But I’m not in the mood to appreciate the colorful night scene at all.

I’m eager to know who brought me here.

Why did those people bring me here.

I got out of bed and was about to check outside when I heard footsteps coming over.

I was stunned at once. I picked up a handy furnishing and hid it behind my back as a weapon. As long as someone dares to approach me, I will never be soft on him.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and a slender figure appeared at the door.

Since the light in the room was off and all the light was reflected from the outside, the view in the room was very dark.

The figure walked to the door. The bright light behind him cast in, and his face was in the shadow. I couldn’t see his face clearly.

But it doesn’t matter what he looks like now. The most important thing is that I have to knock him down first before I have the chance to escape.

Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth and rushed to that man. I raised the ashtray in my hand and smashed it directly towards that man’s face.

Maybe it’s because my movement is too fast that I hit him by surprise, but because of the difference in height , although the ashtray hit him, it failed to hit his face.

With a muffled groan, he covered his chest with one hand and grasped me tightly with the other hand!

“Let go of me. Don’t touch me.” I struggled hard, waving my other hand in front of him randomly.

“Leanna!” At this time, a familiar voice rang in her ears, which apparently contained anger and was terribly deep.

It was him?!

By the way, I should have thought of the man who kidnapped me in the elevator. Didn’t he say that he would take me to meet him?

I raised my head and stared at the man in front of me. “Edmund, what do you want?”

“What do I want?” He stepped forward and forced me to the corner.

“We’re over long ago. I don’t want to see you. Why do you still ask someone to kidnap me?”

He just can’t let me go? If so, why did you leave me and marry another woman?

“What did you say?” He looked a little surprised.

“Isn’t it?” I gritted my teeth and stared at him.

“Of course…”

He let go of me, took a step back and ordered in a deep voice, “you stay here.”

Then he turned around and walked out.

How could I continue to stay here? When I was about to rush out of the room, he suddenly stopped, turned around, stared at me with his cold eyes and warned, “stay here. Don’t let me repeat it!”

I was still a little scared of him, especially when he gave the order. Although I didn’t want to be obedient, my body was always like a conditioned reflex, and I could not help but follow his orders.
