A Force Love Contract With GANG LEADER

The two of them made loud noises that Laura could hear from the kitchen. She ran out hurriedly to separate them. “What’s wrong with you two? Can’t you talk it out?”

She helped Kate sit down and stroke her belly nervously.

Laura blamed Daisy, “Don’t scare the little baby. If there is something wrong with it, we three cannot get away with it.”

Daisy stared at them for a while and went to her room to pack her things up.

After she felt pacified, Kate told Laura, “Don’t tell him what happened just now.”

Laura sighed and said, “Okay, but you have to be careful from now on. I can’t take responsibility if something happens.”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I know.” Kate touched her belly. “I know.”

After she returned to her room, Kate took out the ultrasonic picture. She could not distinguish the limbs of the baby. After a while, she held it upside down. She laughed out loud and put it right side up. “This was the heart,” she pointed at the picture and said, imitating the doctor.

Her baby, only less than ten weeks old, had a heart. What a strong life! How could its mother take its life carelessly?

Everything works the same way: Only when you are going to lose it do you realize how important it is to you.

Kate stayed detached because she always regarded it as the morbid child of Tristan. She didn’t want to have anything binding them together. Now she thought the kid was inside her, close to her, fresh from her body.

Her decision was made after many debates inside.

She put the photo in her mouth and kissed it with tears.

When she looked out the window, the sunshine seemed brighter, full of mercy and energy. It made the ugliness and despair escape.

Kate was happy because of this new hope, this new life.

In the evening, when Tristan came back, Daisy had already gone. Kate didn’t try to stop her. She asked Laura to help her get a cab.

Even though she didn’t say anything, she looked different, as if she was bathed in blessings. Being sensitive, Tristan detected this immediately.

After dinner, he held Kate’s hand and went to the balcony to see the stars.

He sat on the chair, holding Kate in his lap, and sighed, “It is better we two are left alone.” And then he corrected, “No, three. Three of us.” And he touched her belly gently.

Kate felt in his arms how he was hatefully proud. She couldn’t help giving him a blow, “It could be a fool.” But she regretted it immediately after she said it. How could she curse her own child?

Tristan didn’t care much, “It is good to be simple-minded. It is a blessing.”

His tone was affectionate. Kate sighed. This man looked gentle and harmless sometimes, but she really wanted to ask him why he did so many evil things.

Didn’t he worry about bringing misfortune to his child?

The wind brought the fragrance of plants and flowers from the garden. The Camellias were blooming quietly, and their soothing sweet scent was flowing secretly in the air. Everything was so tranquil that nobody wanted to break the silence.

Kate said softly, “I went to the cemetery a few days ago.”

Tristan didn’t expect her to mention it, though he already knew that. His heart shrank.

Then she muttered as if she was speaking to herself, “When I first came to LA, I was less than 19. I knew nothing about LA. I came with somebody and got a job. I didn’t like the job, but I had to do it…It was in a Karaoke bar. I met all kinds of guests, and the drunken men were dreadful animals to me. You don’t know what he could do the next second. I had to be very careful. Every day when I left the place, I celebrated surviving the day. But one day…”

She went stiff and could not help trembling. Tristan understood what she might say and wanted to stop her, but she continued, “A guy pressed me on a couch and touched me, ripped my clothes off, and reached his hand under my skirt…”

She breathed fast and said with a trembling voice, “I was so scared, but the people around wouldn’t help me. I had to fight for myself. I grabbed a bottle from the table and hit him on the head…He bled. The blood came from his head to his face. I thought, great, he was dead, and I was free. But then I thought if he died, I had to die…”

Kate sniffed.

Tristan didn’t have the heart to listen, but he knew she had the need to talk. So he hugged her tighter to comfort her.

“Then the police came. They asked the waitresses there to stand in a row with their hands behind their heads. They wanted me to stand there too, but I wouldn’t. I said I was not a prostitute, but they didn’t believe me. They said I not only prostituted myself but also injured somebody intentionally. I was scared to death. If it wasn’t for Jimmy…”

Kate had tears all over her face, “I don’t know if now I would still be in jail or I would have killed myself at the scene.”

Tristan wiped the tears on her face and showed deep sorrow for her in his eyes. He seemed to feel the pain she experienced with regret.

Kate said chokingly, “He not only saved my life but also saved my self-esteem.”

She cried like a child now and breathed shortly.

Tristan held her in his arms tightly and closed his eyes. He felt her body curl up and tremble. Each tremble of her pulled his heart and caused his heart to ache.

After a while, Kate said, “As I have been with you, of course, I will not be with any other man. I surely will not cheat on you. But why did you take away the last chance I could see him? Why?”

“He was different from you. So different!”

She beat him with her fists. “I hate you, hate you.”

Tristan bore with it and didn’t make a sound.

Kate was overwhelmed with sadness. She could not accuse him, and she could only blame herself.

She hated him, but she also hated herself.

She told Jimmy about Caroline because she felt guilty inside. But to protect her own family, she kept the most important part of the story from him.

When he was so close to the truth, she still could not stand up, to tell the truth. If Jimmy knew the truth, this man might be brought to justice, and Jimmy could not have died in vain.

Now innocent people had died and the murderer and her, the indirect murderer. We were here enjoying the peaceful night and were going to have a baby. It was so unfair.

Too unfair…
