The Woman From Hell

When we got home, Miss Woods came out to greet us with a huge smile on her face “Madam, you

gave us all a fright! Go lie down quickly, I’ve made you soup!” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“What are you doing here, Miss Woods?” I was genuinely happy to see Miss Woods. She was one of

the few people that had sincerely cared about me back in the old mansion, other than Grandma.

“Young Master requested that I come. Look at you! Why didn’t you announce your pregnancy? It’s such

big news! What would we have done if something really bad had happened to you? Thank the

heavens! Old Madam would be elated if she was here.” Miss Woods wiped some tears from her eyes.

It was obvious that she was genuinely happy for me.

I was slightly moved. I thought no one wanted this baby or cared about it. It looked like I had been

mistaken.

Theo cast a glance at me, warmth filling his eyes. “Let’s go up and lie down for a

while.”

I nodded. I had not slept very well the previous night, so because of that and my already weary body, I

felt weak and unwell.

Miss Woods was quick to agree. “Go on, o on! I’ll let you know when lunch is ready.”

Theo laid me on the bed and tucked mei n. He got up to close the window and said, “Rest well now, I’ll

finish up some work i in the study.”

He left hurriedly after that.

It was clear his absence from work had caused some major delays in quite a few departments. I had

wanted to remind him about Cecilia but had to let it go for now,

I did not know how much pressure he was going through running the entire Grant Corporation alone,

but it seemed like he was always working, no matter rain or shine.

Theo woke me up around noon when lunch was being served. Miss Woods had

I did not have much of an appetite because I was still full from breakfast, and my anxiety about Cecilia

made it hard for me to feel very hungry.

It had been 24 hours since Cecilia was dragged into the police station. That fact flustered me, and after

a moment of hesitation, I asked, “Theo, could you accompany me to the police station, please?

“Eat first.” His face was emotionless and cold.

“But…” My initial plan had been to head t o the police station before noon, but because I had been too

tired, and because I knew Theo would certainly not agree, I had waited until now to ask.

“Finish all this, then we’ll talk,” he said solemnly. I lowered my head to find my bowl filled to the brim

with food,

Was he trying to fatten me up like a goose?

I grimaced. He stared intently at me, his face apathetic as he added, “Finish it.

“Are you sure you’ll come with me after I finish all of this?” I pointed to the mountain of food before me.

He did not respond to me.

I had no choice but to force-feed myself the entire bowl.

Slowly, don’t choke…” He passed me a bowl of soup.

“L’un done! Let’s go! After a grueling time, I was finally done with the food in m y bowl. I stood up, ready

to go.

He stared at me, his pupils constricting slightly. Before I knew it, he had scooped me up in his strong

arms once again and headed upstairs. “You still look very weak. Take a nap.”

I was furious. I struggled the entire way there as I shrieked, “Theo Grant, you assh *le! Let me go! I

wanna go to the police station now! Cecilia has been there for a day and a night now, I HAVE to see

her!”

I had not expected him to go against his word. I bellowed my protests with anger

Te lovered his head and kissed me on the lips. My lips were instantly covered with a warm, soft

sensation. I was no longer able to speak. After what seemed like forever, he spoke. “If you’re so

worried about her, stay at home like a good girl. I’ll head to the police station.”

I thought he had not wanted to help me. Little did I know he had his own plans.

I laid down once again, quietly and obediently this time. “You’ve gotta update me immediately if you

have any news.”

He nodded and pecked me on the forehead before leaving

After Theo left, I could not sleep, so got u pand prepared to go to my office. It was a few days before

shooting was about to commence, so I needed to keep a close eye on everything

I sneaked downstairs and was relieved to not find Miss Woods around. Maybe she had left? I patted

my chest and walked out the door, carefree

As I stepped into the office building’s elevator, I heard a cry, “Wait up!”, so I

vator, I heard a cry, “Wait up!”, so I held the door open.

I soon saw that the cry had unexpectedly come from Zedd Nichols. I should have read through my

horoscope before I left the house today, so I knew to prepare myself to bump into such a disgusting

person. How unfortunate!
