37 37. Lea’s Attack

Paula’s last words left a deep scratch in Lea’s heart. Paula humiliated her in the worst way possible. So, Paula already knew that the child in her womb was not William’s child? So William had told Paula about that? Who else was it? Only William knew that his baby maker was not the one who made the baby dough and put it in Lea’s womb.

Lea’s body was shaking. Why did William say that to Paula? What was the importance? Did William want to embarrass her in front of Paula? Had William changed that much? Did he say that he can’t have enough of Paula? Was he the one who seduced Paula first last night?

However, there was one thing that scared her even more. Would Paula tell the secret to William’s parents? If she did that, then her story would be over soon.

Bewildered, Lea took her cell phone from the table and immediately sent a message to Samuel. Samuel was disgusting and cunning, but Lea had no choice but to ask him for advice. She had indeed been ensnared by the devil’s trap and could not get out of it.

Lea: Sam, what should I do? Looks like William was the one who don’t want to leave Paula.

Sam: Is William awake?

Leah: Not yet.

Sam: Has Paula left?

Leah: Just now.

.....

Sam: Get out of the room before William finds out that you kicked Paula out. Make William sure that Paula doesn’t want him anymore!

Lea was restless. She had to leave before William woke up. She had to set up the fake situation where Paula happily left William without bothering to say goodbye.

Lea grabbed her handbag and intended to leave immediately. However, her foot stepped on a book, causing her to stop moving. The woman bent down to pick up the blue-covered book.

The book was nice and cute. Not so girly, but adorable. When she turned the book to check the other side, she immediately knew what it was.

It was Paula’s pregnancy journal!

Lea opened it to check what was the content. There were medical records of Paula’s pregnancy. There were also two sonogram sheets, each of them showing a bean-sized fetus.

“Crap! Paula must have left this here on purpose to let William know that she is pregnant. I can’t underestimate her at all,” Lea cursed exasperatedly. Her hands were shaking out of anger. “I never think I am dealing with a cunning demon queen.”

Lea then put the book into her bag. There was no way she would let William find out about Paula’s pregnancy. Ignited by anger, Lea, who had wanted to go straight from the room, decided to stay for a while. Her brain got a dirty idea to corner her rival.

The woman took a paper and pen from her bag and wrote:

“Thank you for your service last night. I appreciate your efforts. I give this small reward in return.

However, after this, I don’t want to do it again with you. Your little needle was the worst. I almost couldn’t feel it at all. Moreover, your poor stamina will never satisfy even half of my needs.

Bye, William! I need to find another dick to do the task.”

Trembling, Lea placed the paper on the small table next to the bed, along with a grand she had in her purse. Lea glanced at William who was still fast asleep and immediately tiptoed to the door. However, when she opened the door, she was surprised to find the hotel maid delivering breakfast.

“Put the food on the table and leave immediately! Don’t let him wake up!” Lea ordered hastily.

“Okay, ma’am!” The female waitress dressed in black and white then immediately entered the room, placing the food tray on the table-carefully, she was doing it slowly, avoiding making noises.

As Lea was about to leave, she remembered that her dark hair would never be mistaken for Paula’s blonde hair. She then came back and gave 100 bucks to the waiter saying, “You didn’t see me here, okay?”

The confused maid hesitantly took the tip from Lea and nodded. Lea then left the room with relief. At least, she did the task well.

***

It was almost noon when William groped the sheet next to him. Cold. There was no warmth he was looking for. Reluctantly, the man slowly opened his eyes and looked around the room.

“Paula! Are you in the bathroom?” William called, feeling worried.

Because there was no answer and he also heard nothing from the bathroom, William hurried out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. How shocked he was when he found the bathroom empty.

In a huff, William picked up his pants and checked the room. There was just a huge pile of pancakes and two cups of coffee that had gone cold. It was obvious that the food had been delivered hours ago and no one had touched it at all.

William found the digital clock on the table showing 11:12. William gulped and realized he was waking up too late so Paula left first. Too bad, though, he was planning on spending some more time with Paula and persuading her to go home, at least until the problems were all done.

William then put on his clothes, going to the restaurant because his stomach was growling. He opened the door, then went back inside when he realized that he didn’t have the cell phone and wallet he put on the table last night. However, of course, he found a surprise there. A sheet of paper with a message on it and a pile of money. He was trembling out of rage, reading the message.

“Fuck!” William cursed angrily. “Didn’t she have multiple big orgasms last night? She was the one who begged me to stop!”

At the same time, the panicked Danica arrived in front of William’s room and immediately entered deeper into the room because the door was half open. She walked closer to the bedroom and found William-only-standing stiffly with his back to her.

“Will, I’m sorry I couldn’t find a suitable outfit because Paula’s favorite store wasn’t open yet, and .... I don’t know if Paula will like this or not but I have tried my best.” Danica, who was still gasping for air, walked slowly toward her boss while holding a dark blue paper bag with three capital letters GAP written on it.

When she was close to William, Danica saw the gloomy face of her superior, looking completely humiliated and hurt. Was it because she made a mistake? Will she be fired?

“Am I too late?” asked Danica out of worried.

William snapped out of his thoughts and crumpled the paper and bills in his hands, throwing them on the floor. He faced his assistant with a blank stare. “Forget it! Let’s get back to work!”

“But, don’t you take a day off today?” Danica protested. She complained because she had already planned a lot of things.

“Do I look like I’m having a day off?” William yelled, wide-eyeing Danica. He knew that his assistant was not at fault. He was not supposed to vent his anger on her. But he couldn’t control his emotion.

Danica was frightened and swallowed hard. Something must have happened to Paula that made her boss on a rampage. She could only follow William’s order and rushed out of the room.

However, Danica’s curiosity was unbearable. She picked up the paper William had thrown away and checked it. Of course, her eyes popped out in disbelief. No wonder his boss’s mood was ruined. His performance on the bed was utterly insulted.

Danica then looked at the untouched food, thinking something was off. Of course, her behavior made her employer upset.

“What are you doing, Dani?” William snapped again. “Come on! We are late for work!”

“Ah, sorry! I just feel weird. Who ordered breakfast and left them untouched?” Danica replied as she rushed out of the room.

“Of course not me! Do you think I ordered room service while sleeping?” William grumbled the whole way.

Danica just nodded, agreeing with William’s words. “So ... Paula ordered the food and left?”

“So what?”

“Nothing,” said Danica. “Just think that ... It’s weird.”

Danica didn’t say what was bothering her because William was in an angry state. Ordering that much food meant Paula planned to have breakfast with her husband. Strangely, she left the room, leaving a message and money to mock William-as if he were a gigolo who failed to satisfy a customer.

Arriving at the office, Danica checked the messages in the inbox. One of them was a party invitation from Mark Stevens, Alan’s biological father, who celebrated his union with his son. He wanted to officially introduce his son to society.

Danica then passed the invitation on to William and as expected, William was still showing an unpleasant expression. “I’m attending the party.”

“Okay,” said Danica. “Oh, it said that you should bring your wife ...”

Hearing a ‘wife’ word, William threw a glare at Danica and said, “Then, I am not attending the party.”

“But,-”

Danica couldn’t finish her sentence because a man’s voice startled her. “You should attend the party and bring Lea as your plus one!”

William turned his gloomy face, only to find his father standing in front of the door.
