Stop It She's Remarrying by Stellar Strands

Chapter 16

Conrad grabbed Fia’s arm and dragged her to the black Bentley. “Just do as you’re told!”

Fia was offended. This man, while cold, would never say something that aggressive before Esme came back.

It was all because of Esme!

“Who’s the one that’s in the wrong here?! It’s you and Esme!”

Conrad did not expect someone as gentle as her to ever say something like that. “Are you saying that I’m in the wrong for divorcing you?”

“Ha! I don’t have the courage to say that! Since in your eyes, I’m the cowardly, shameless thief that stole you from the woman you love when she went overseas!”

Conrad could only frown as he stared at her speechlessly. He was worried that she would cry, and wanted to say something but his phone suddenly rang.

Fia freed herself from him and walked away when he answered the call.

“Hello?”

“Conrad! I really don’t want to marry someone else! I came back for you! Why is Grandmother forcing me like this for Fia?! Conrad, when I die, don’t blame her. Take good care of her just like how my grandmother and aunt want it!”

After sobbing, Esme hung up.

Conrad could feel the chill in his bones. Last night, Esme had cried and said that she wanted to end it all. The call made him even more worried.

He quickly got into the car and stepped on the gas, and the black Bentley sped away.

Fia, who was walking by the side, didn’t manage to move away fast enough and a gust of powerful wind threw her to the side. She stared at the black Bentley that sped away like an arrow fired from a bow before the pain from her bloody palms caused her to tear up.

After spending a few more seconds to suppress the terrible feeling inside her, she stood up again when she suddenly felt a jolt of pain in her lower abdomen. She was in so much pain that she bent down.

She took in a few deep breaths before cursing under her breath. “Why is my period so painful this time?”

She was somewhat worried that the needle therapy in the private clinic had had some sort of effect on her and she quickly called for a taxi to take her to the hospital.
