Pampered Like A Princess

Nelissa realized that he was so tall now that they were glued as one. He was so powerful that she couldn’t get out of his arms. Frantically, she reached out for the desk behind him in search of a tool.

Splack! The desk lamp fell on the floor and broke into pieces.

“Master Hale, you alright?” Eliza heard the noise.

“I’m good.” Edward stared at Nelissa like a hunter that had spotted its prey, his eyes sparkling with a dangerous gleam.

Nelissa’s lips were numb. She felt like she was the meat on his plate, awaiting to be swallowed alive.

She screamed, “Eliza! I broke the desk lamp. I think it’s best to remove its shards before anyone gets hurt.”

A while later, Eliza came in. Nelissa successfully escaped from Edward. She backed out further from him and lowered her head. His tastes were stuck on her clothes and inside her mouth.

Eliza took a look at the floor and said, “I’ll go downstairs and get a broom. ”

Nelissa thought, “Would Edward lunge at me again if Eliza leaves?” She was not sure.

But she was sure that she did not want to stay to be harassed once more. “I-I-I gotta go now cause I have some emergency, Mr. Hales. Here’s your money and, bye.”

She didn’t so much as look back at Edward before she left the study with Eliza. She ran away from the mansion as if she was fleeing from a monster.

She called a cab instantly. Only in the car, she pulled out her makeup mirror and looked at herself. Her eyes, face and lips were all red. She definitely did not look normal.

It was like she was in love!

Soon, she arrived at home. Jolene had already brought the twins for dinner and were playing board games with them.

On the sight of their mom, Nathan and Noelle rushed to Nelissa at once. Nathan said with a cool smile, “Mummy, a classmate wanted to lift up Noelle’s skirt and I stopped him!”

Nelissa’s brain froze for a second. They were only in kindergarten now. “Whoa, are kids these days all so rude?”

“I am not rude! I am gentlemen!” yelled Nathan with pride and character. Noelle pulled her skirt down further. “Mummy don’t worry. I will not date in school.”

Nelissa looked at Jolene, stunned at the twin’s vocabulary. Jolene had always brought them for all kinds of movies and shows; it must be where they had picked it all up.

The four sat around the table and continued the board game.

Jolene nudged Nelissa and asked, “How is it?” Nelissa knew that she was talking about Edward.

“What a mess.” Nelissa sighed.

Jolene gasped. Did Nelissa mess it up?

After the game, Nelissa lied on the bed, pretty confused. But with Noelle and Nathan beside her, she wasn’t that upset anymore.

Well, she had only been taken advantage of by that man and lost a big client. It was not that big of a deal.

But if she didn’t leave a while ago, what would Edward have done to her?

Nelissa didn’t dare to think it further; she had messed up all the plan already anyway.

The twins had already fallen asleep. She turned off the lights and went to sleep too.

Right when she was about to fall asleep, Nelissa was woken up by her own phone ringing. The children fast-asleep beside her budged a little, seemingly disturbed by the noise.

Nelissa covered her phone and rushed out quietly, not wanting to wake up the kids.

It was Edward who called.

Nelissa’s heart skipped a beat. It was 10 o’clock at night. Well frankly, it wasn’t too late. She thought that Edward would never call her again because with her behavior earlier, she thought that he must have loathed her already.

But…

Nelissa picked up the call. Edward’s voice was even more charismatic at night. He spoke with a hoarse yet sexy voice, “You left in a hurry just now. I thought you wanted to discuss business with me.”

Nelissa was blushed. It was good they were on the phone. Little did he know that she left in a hurry a while ago to escape from him.

She replied, “I thought that you may need a rest. Hence, I took my leave so I wouldn’t disturb you further. We can discuss business at another time.”

Edward stayed silent for a few seconds, and replied, “Tomorrow noon, 12 pm, at Mozalynne Hotel.”

Nelissa knew that he was giving an order, one that she could not reject! Believing that he was going to discuss business with her, she agreed, “Sure.”

After hanging up the phone, Nelissa thought, “So does he sober up now?”

She downed a glass of water. Her lips could still vaguely feel the temperature of his scorching lips.

She had only made out with a man before, but even that was a long time ago.

After Edward’s call, Nelissa did not feel sleepy anymore. She then went to the living room and sat beside Jolene, who was watching a TV show. Nelissa then mentioned her meeting with Edward the next day.

Jolene shouted with joy, “Lucky you did not mess that up! I was even considering signing you up to a dating show, so you could marry someone wealthy!”

Nelissa nodded her head and agreed, “You should go for it. You are Noey’s and Nate’s godmother. If you marry someone wealthy instead, we definitely will gain some benefits from it.”

Jolene said with annoyance, “You alone, have gone through so much with the two kids. It would be so much easier if you find a man to carry the burden with you. Nelly, don’t tell me that you really want to wait for that ridiculous man?”

Nelissa laughed without commenting.

Jolene had always thought that she had been abandoned by her ex-boyfriend at 18. Therefore, she left her home pregnant and raised the twins on her own.

Nelissa discovered that she was pregnant a month after she arrived at Haleston City. This unexpected surprise had brought her a glimmer of light in her already hopeless life.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Nelissa’s only family member who was still alive was her mother, who was now in a comatose state in the hospital. The chance of her awakening was slim, or nearly zero, according to her attending doctor.

Hence, the arrival of these twins-her flesh and blood-had since become the sole reason for her existence in this lonely world.

Her life was but full of adversities. Her mother’s medical expenses had always been a load that weighed on her shoulders, forcing her to bow to the cruelty of life. Everyone turned their backs on her when she needed help the most.

Never would she forget those hopeless days when she cried herself to sleep. Thankfully, Noelle and Nathan had come into her life, thereby bringing her out of this seemingly endless misery.

She didn’t know who the father of the twins were. It wasn’t important to her. That piece of information wasn’t going to serve her any good anyway.

Hence, she never once looked for the answer and the turth.
