The Queen's Back

The night was pitch dark with the cold wind blowing.

Teddy got drunk and his assistant helped him out of Pleasantview Plaza and walked towards the car as he was muttering. "Mona, I already know my mistake. Why didn't you give me a chance? How can you be so cruel? Can you just let go of Maxwell?"

He kept rambling on, but Mona was not there. The assistant acted like he heard nothing and drove ahead.

At the same time, in Teddy's private villa, Elene was sitting on the sofa in the living room, staring intently at her phone. It was a photo of a man and a woman having a meal. The people were none other than Mona and Teddy.

This photo was taken from a special angle. When Teddy picked up the pizza for Mona under the dim light, he gave out a bright smile that Elene had never seen before. His body blocked Mona, so she could not see the expression on Mona's face, but she could see the way Mona used her fork to pick up the food on the plate.

There was another photo of Teddy holding Mona's arm when they stood side by side, especially intimate. In fact, at that time, someone had spilled some water on the ground. Mona stood up abruptly and almost fell. And Teddy helped her up, but Mona pushed him away. Elene did not see what was going on between the two of them. She only suspected that they had a special relationship, and

dimmed. Mona looked quite similar to her. Elene touched her cheek and her eyes

She knew that Teddy kept her here purely because of her face. As a substitute, she had no reason to be jealous of Mona. Instead, she should even be grateful. However, she felt especially uncomfortable. She was indeed jealous of Teddy smiling at Mona and putting his food on her plate.

The person who had sent her these photos was from an unknown number, followed by a long message. [See? They are getting back together. If I were you, I would definitely do something.

[Mona's marriage is in a crisis, but her first love, Teddy, comes up to her now, so their relationship will soon be healed. Then what about you, Teddy's lover? If I were you, I would destroy their relationship right now.] Elene finished the message with tears in her eyes. 'What could I do?'

She was just a pet that Teddy kept in his home. He might come to fondle her like a kitten when he was in a good mood while she would become his punching bag to vent his anger whenever he had problems. He even possessed the right to end this abnormal relationship at any time while she had no freedom at all.novelbin

If she had found out about this a few months ago, she would have been desperate but she had no guts to do anything to Mona. However, just yesterday, she learned a piece of shocking news. She was pregnant. It was her and Teddy's child. She had been fantasizing about how to tell Teddy this good news, but what awaited her was the cruel fact that Teddy was about to end their relationship.

She used to be a little girl, but now, about to be a mother, she had to be strong.

She was wondering if, in Teddy's heart, she and her child would weigh more than Mona alone. If so, she chose to go on with Teddy in peace and love. But if not, she would force herself to abort the child. In a moment of crisis, Teddy only had one choice. Would he save her and their child, or would he save Mona alone?

Then she heard the sound of the car stopping outside. It was already eleven o'clock, and Teddy was finally back. She stood up to welcome Teddy as usual, just like an obedient maid.

Teddy's assistant saw Elene and handed this drunk man to her.

When she approached feddy, not only did she smell the alcohol, but she also sniffed the faint fragrance of a woman. She knew it was not the perfume, but more like a natural fragrance of a woman's body. She had been closer to Mona before, who was also her love rival, so Elene deliberately kept it in her mind,

This time, she smelled it on Teddy again. A few minutes before, he still had a pathetic hope that the photos were fake. Maybe Teddy and Mona were not that intimate, but could she still lie to herself now? If they were not extremely close and had spent a long time together, he wouldn't have been tainted by Mona's scent.

Her nose was filled with the mixed smell of alcohol and fragrance and her lips were crushed. The pain brought her back to her senses and she realized that Teddy had already pressed her gainst the corner of the wall and kissed her deeply.

"Mona, I really regret it. Please give me another chance. I'm willing to do anything for you now." Teddy's voice mixed with the cold wind reached Elene's ears.

Tears streamed down her face. As the wind blew past, it was exceptionally cold. Elene really wanted to know if she and the child were more important than Mona when they were in danger. Without overthinking, Elene hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and helped Teddy in. The seed of jealousy had already sprouted in her heart, about to sprout and thrive.

Mona had already showered and changed into her pajamas. Then she received a message from Nigel saying that Maxwell had already come out of Mystique.

Mona replied: [Got it. Is there any progress on that matter?] She knew in her heart that it would not be so soon, but she could not help but ask. She desperately wanted to know the answer. She didn't want to see Maxwell trapped in the basement in her dream tonight. Nigel: [Not yet. It might take some time. Don't worry. I'll keep you informed.]

Mona: [Thank you, Nigel.]

She lay down. She didn't want to wait for Maxwell to come back tonight. The shadows under her eyes seemed to have worsened.

She was in a daze when she heard violent knocks on the door. Bang, bang, bang...

Mona frowned in frustration. A voice came from outside. "Mona, come out. I'm not back yet. How dare you sleep!"

It was obvious that he had drunk a lot. Mona did not bother to get up and pretended to be asleep.

However, the knocking continued. One after another, especially loud.
