Secret Billionaire’s Contract Bride: Marrying My Enemy’s Lover

Chapter 121

Tabitha brought a glass to my lips. Her hand laying under my chin gently.

“You need to drink, Adelaide. Your baby needs it”

My eyes went wide as I took the water into my mouth. I ripped my lips away from the bottle.

“I’m not pregnant, I don’t know what baby you are talking about.”

If she knew, did that mean that Ashton and Angela knew too? I couldn’t risk them finding out I was pregnant. I would have to convince them I wasn’t pregnant. No matter what happened, I had to keep this baby safe.

“Don’t worry, I’m the only one that knows. I didn’t tell them that you’re pregnant.” She smiled softly at me before she brought the water to my lips again. “I am not a cruel person. A baby is a gift and should be treasured, not abused or used as a bargaining tool.”

1 took the water from her and made sure that I was hydrated. My hands were still bound to the chair but at least Angela and Ashton had stepped away.

Ashton may have thought that he was the mastermind behind this whole operation but the poor fool was being played like a violin. This was Angela’s plan. She didn’t need the money, she wanted the one thing that she knew she could never have as long as I was around.

“Tabitha.” I looked into her eyes just praying that somehow I could get through to her. “Please, you don’t have to do this. I know that you are innocent in all of this. You have been roped into doing this by these two psychos. You are a good person. Please just untie me and let me go.”

I could see the conflict in her eyes. She wanted to let me go but I also knew her blind loyalty to that man was unwavering. She had stayed with him after everything with Corinna for crying out loud. If she could put up with that, who knew what she was willing to do?

“I can’t.” She looked away from me, placing the water down. “I need to do this for Bella. The money from the ransom will be used for her future and her education later on.”
