Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

At this hour, it was usually Emily or Eric who came by. Paul sighed helplessly and said, "Kim, when the kids aren't around, there's something I want to talk to you about."

Kimberly didn't answer, but her heart pounded wildly. Paul returned to the bed.

"Come in."

The person who entered wasn't Eric or Emily. Instead, it was a woman Paul least wanted to see-Alison.

She walked in carrying a food box, and Paul's brows furrowed tightly. "What are you doing here?"

Over the years, Paul had done many things that let Kimberly down, but he had no affection for the women he fooled around with. To him, they were merely a distraction- a way to release stress. They wanted money or gifts, while he sought temporary relief. It was a mutual exchange, nothing more.

But now, Paul had made up his mind. Whether or not his marriage with Kimberly ended, he was determined to treat her well and make up for his past mistakes.

However, Alison was a reminder of a different time. She still held grudges over what Kimberly had done to her back then-a feud that remained unresolved.

Kimberly also noticed Alison's arrival. The affair between Paul and Alison had once become the talk of the town, forcing Kimberly to storm into the company in a fit of anger, unknowingly planting the seeds of future trouble.

This world is fair-whatever wrongs you commit will eventually catch up to you; it's only a matter of time.

"I... I just came to see you," Alison said as she approached Paul.

"No need. There's nothing between us anymore," Paul replied coldly. It wasn't just because Kimberly was present-he truly meant it.

Paul had genuinely repented. Regardless of whether Kimberly forgave him, he would never hurt her again. Some mistakes had already been made, and some pain was inevitable.

"I'm pregnant."

Those three words hit like a thunderclap. On the bed, Kimberly's face turned pale, and her hands gripped the corner of the blanket tightly, though she made no sound.

Even though she had told herself to let go of Paul, how could she so easily give up on someone she had loved for so long? Especially when Paul had just spoken words that reignited a spark of hope in her heart.
