Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany Novel by Rex Ring

Chapter 576

‘Would I accidentally get pregnant?‘ she thought.

Tiffany jolted upright in the bathtub.

Without wasting another second, she scrambled out of the tub, Hastily dried herself off, threw on some clothes, and slipped quietly out of the house.

At the curb, she hailed a cab and directed the driver to the nearest drugstore.

It wasn’t too late, and a few pharmacies were bound to still be open at this hour.

When they arrived, Tiffany leaned forward and said, “Please wait for me.” The driver nodded as she stepped into the store.

“Good evening. How can I help you?” the pharmacist asked politely.

Tiffany opened her mouth, but the words “birth control pills” seemed to lodge in her throat.

Her hand unconsciously rested on her flat stomach. She wasn’t ready for children–not now, not with her life as it was. But if it turned out she was pregnant, could she accept it?

But if it came to that, she was sure that Richard would be overjoyed.

Tiffany shook her head and apologized softly. “No, thank you.”

Wrapping her coat tighter around herself, Tiffany turned and walked back to the waiting cab.

“Miss, where to?” the driver asked.

“Back to…” She started to say home but stopped. A mischievous glint lit her eyes. “Royal Bay,” she said instead.

“Got it,” the driver replied, pulling back onto the quiet streets.

At this time, there were few pedestrians and cars on the empty and quiet street. Tiffany leaned back and gazed out the window.

The city lights grew sparser, and the serene night sky revealed a scattering of stars. A gentle breeze brushed against her cheek as she rolled the window down slightly, easing the tension in her chest.

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at Royal Bay.

Reaching for her bag, Tiffany suddenly froze. In her rush to leave the house, she hadn’t brought any cash–or even her phone.

She then rang the villa’s bell. Moments later, a maid hurried out to greet her, surprise evident on her face.

“Mrs. Hampton?” The maid quickly opened the gate, stepping aside to let Tiffany in.

The noise drew Richard’s attention, and soon he appeared at the door.

-Tiffany stood by the car, shivering slightly in the evening breeze, her nose tinged pink from the cold.

She looked up and saw Richard walking out.

His tall figure exuded a quiet authority, and even under the dim light, his features remained striking and refined. His dark, penetrating gaze were fixed on her.
