Love Is Fair by Kerri

Chapter 217 Condition Suddenly, a bolt of lightning crackled through the sky, lighting everything up for a second. Hearing the thunderous sound, Eve trembled with fright. Edwards Mansion was good everywhere else, but the roof of this attic was leaking! The attic was humid and sultry, so she felt more unbearable when it rained. Eve wanted to move to the wall to avoid the water, but her hands were tied with ropes, and her ankles were tied with short dog chains, so she couldn’t move. The Edwards family thought she was noisy, so they had gagged her with a rag that she didn’t know where it had been used. There was a strange smell in her mouth, but she couldn’t scream. They would untie her only when it was time to have meals. She had been here for just a few days, but her eyes were swollen from crying. She had lived for more than 20 years till now, but she had never suffered from so many grievances before. The entire Edwards family was inhuman! She was pregnant with Luca’s child, but they abused her ruthlessly. Thinking of this, Eve wanted to cry again… She suddenly felt a little homesick. She missed her father, her mother, Ava, and… D*mned it! She even missed Hailey now! She used to think that Hailey was the cruelest person. Sure enough, no comparison, no harm. Hailey had never intended to kill her, but the Edwards family really wanted her to die… When Eve was about to burst into tears, she suddenly heard some footsteps. So, she became so frightened that she forgot to cry. She subconsciously moved to the wall with a scared face like a moving earthworm. The skin on her ankles had been rubbed raw by the chain, so she was bleeding. But she did not care. She was really scared! She was afraid that Luca would step on her face and insult her again and was even more afraid that Candice would evilly kill the baby in her belly. When she had read romance novels in the past, she had thought the imprisonment plot was very exciting. She had thought those yandere male protagonists were sexy and charming. But when it happened to her, she just wanted to escape back home! If Hailey came to save her, she would be willing to admit her mistakes and make amends for all the bad things she had done to her before. She would do whatever Hailey wanted her to do! But she knew she was having a pipe dream Hailey hated her so much, so she would never come to save her. She must wish that she had died in the Edwards family. After all, out of sight, out of mind. Thinking of this, Eve wanted to cry again… As the footsteps were getting closer, she got more and more nervous. She wanted to scream for help, but she was gagged so tightly that she couldn’t make a sound. She had no way to escape like fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered. When the door to the attic was knocked open with a bang, she closed her eyes in fright, curled up into a ball, and subconsciously covered her stomach, for fear that the comer would hurt the child inside. Old K walked in front for fear of danger. After he pushed open the door of the attic and confirmed it was safe, he let Hailey in. When Hailey stepped in and saw the situation inside, her pupils suddenly shrank. Then, she clenched her fists with a frown in silence. The Edwards family were all inhumane beasts! “Chris,” she said in a deep voice. Hearing this, Chris immediately took the hint, stepped forward, and began to take pictures with his phone, but he felt sick underneath to see the scene here. Eve had closed her eyes tightly and was stunned when she heard the familiar voice, suspecting she was hallucinating. After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Hailey! “Hailey!” She let out a cry in her heart as if Hailey were the Savior. Her eyes lit up, and her mouth whimpered. Alter Hailey moved her fingers, Chris stepped forward and removed the rug from Eve’s mouth. Eve’s throat was too dry, so she could not make a sound when she wanted to cry. After a while, she shouted in a hoarse voice, “Hailey!” Her voice was full of gratitude and grievances, so Chris was stunned for a while, staring at her. Had she become sensible after suffering hardships outside? Had she become a grateful person? Hailey was not as emotional as her. Instead of asking Chris tountie Eve, she just stood still and asked calmly, “Will you leave with me?” Eve nodded heavily without hesitation, “Yes!” “Have you made up your mind?” Hailey said, “If you leave with me now, Luca will never get back together with you. It is up to you whether to give birth to the baby, but your relationship with the Edwards family will be cut off from now on. You will never be Mrs. Edwards again.”

Hearing this, Eve hesitated and murmured to herself, “If… I stay here, will I be Mrs. Edwards?” Hailey felt as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, so she sneered, “What do you think?”

Eve pursed her lips. Although she didn’t want to admit it, it was obvious that Candice was more capable than her. She was just a sultry slut, but Luca was obsessed with her like crazy. Luca had said, “Candice was prettier and gentler than you, and she has more sex tricks. Why should I choose you and dump her? Eve, who do you think you are? Do you think I will give up on the whole forest for a tuft of grass like you? What special thing do you have?” She had been with him for three years, and she had not expected she was like a tuft of worthless grass in his eyes. At the thought of this, she felt heartbroken.

pregnant, so she would never let her give birth to the baby smoothly. Eve had watched a lot of movies, so she knew women’s plots well. Even if she smoothly gave birth to the baby, the Edwards family would keep the child and kick her out. If so, she would get nothing in the end. So, why bother to stay? : During the past few days, Eve felt as if she had spent a lifetime here. Many things that she couldn’t understand before suddenly became understandable, and she had seen Luca through. He might like Hailey and Candice but had never liked her from the beginning to the end. He had just wanted to make use of her. And she had always been in one-sided love. Eve bit her lower lip and’nodded with tears in her eyes, “I’ve made up my

you.”

he still cares about you. I came because of him.” Hailey said with a cold look, “But I remember all the bad things you did to me before.” Eve’s heart throbbed violently. She was afraid of Hailey would get it even with her now and leave her here ruthlessly,

and said, “Are you kicking me when I am
