I’d never bought any of that stuff with Liam.
He was enough all on his own.
Brad started breathing faster.
He reached for me, and I spat the gag in his
face.
“Let me go! This is illegal!”
He cackled.
“Who cares? No one knows you’re here.‘

“I could screw you, kill you, and no one would
care!”
He ignored me.
“Mandy, I’m begging you. You’re still not

“You’re such a tease.”

“When I–treated you like dirt, you were all
over me. I should’ve kept being an asshole!”
I was weak, unable to fight back.
“Rip!”
“Bang!”
Brad ripped my clothes.
The door burst open.
I looked up and saw Ashley.
Her skin was covered in bruises.in
She ran to Brad, hugging him.
“Please, don’t do this. It’s illegal!”
Brad pushed her away.
“Get off me!”
Ashley grabbed his leg.
She pulled out a paper from her pocket,
trying to give it to Brad.
“Brad, please, I’m…‘
“”
Before she could finish, Brad smashed a
glass over her head.
“Shut up, bitch! You’re the reason Mandy left
me!”
The paper fluttered to the floor.
Brad kicked Ashley, didn’t care.
Then Liam burst through the door, tackling
Brad.
He punched Brad over and over until he
passed out.
Liam ran to me, untying me.
“Mandy.”
He hugged me, checking every inch of my
body.
“Are you hurt?”
“Did he touch you?”
I was burning up.
“Liam, I can’t… I can’t…”
“Brad drugged me.
وو
“Mandy, don’t scare me. I’m calling a
doctor.”
I bit my lip, looking up at him.
“Liam, I need you.”
“…?”
“He gave me an aphrodisiac! I need you so
badly.”
Thirty minutes later, the police burst in.
They restrained Brad and started examining
the scene.
Ashley wasn’t breathing.
The policewoman picked up the paper.
“She was a month pregnant…”
Brad screamed.
“No! That’s impossible!”
He couldn’t believe he killed Ashley and his
child.
Brad was sentenced to life.
Later, Liam and I had a huge wedding.
The wedding was in traditional Chinese style.
Liam had a dress custom–made, covered in
gold phoenixes.
I wore a phoenix crown.
Our friends and family gave us their
blessings.
Liam and I exchanged rings.
A year later.
“Mandy.”
Downstairs, Liam was in a designer suit,
standing by the car.
He waved to me.
“Come on, let’s go to that new dessert place.
There’s a surprise for you.
“”
I smiled, running downstairs and into his
arms.
Liam held me.
“What are you smiling about?”
I pinched his face, smiling.
“You can surprise me, but I can’t be happy?”
“Of course not. I’ll do anything to make you
happy.”
happy.”
Liam pinched my nose, full of love.
“What if I said I was pregnant?”
I winked, looking at him.
Liam froze.
“Are you serious?”
“Of course!”
“Will it be a shifter or a succubus?”
“Who cares? The doctor said twins!”
