Chapter 1819: She Might Be Pregnant

On the other side.

Cloud brought Vicki to a hidden semi-basement. Vicki had her eyes

covered at the time, so she had no idea where she was.

The semi-basement was never exposed to sunlight. Although it was a

dim corner, Cloud kept it clean. There was no musty smell, and the

fresh air system was on 24/7. The floor was covered with old European

tiles, and the walls were uneven with textured silicon mud. The furniture

and decorations exuded a dark atmosphere.

Vicki figured this must be where Cloud usually hid in Khebury.

Vicki still had handcuffs on her hands, but her feet were not chained.

However, there was an electronic lock tied around her right ankle. If she

moved beyond a five-meter radius of the room, the guards outside

would immediately know.

Vicki never considered running away.

On the contrary, during this time, she had been secretly observing

Cloud's arrangements. Although Cloud was cautious, she managed to

pick up on some clues. For example, Athena was currently being held

captive by Christian. Naturally, Cloud had to find a way to rescue

Athena; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to proceed with the next

mission assigned by Rohomes. Additionally, it seemed that something

had gone wrong on Rohomes' side. So Cloud's plan had to be

expedited.

After a while, Cloud walked in carrying a plate. It contained today's

lunch.

He placed it in front of Vicki and sat down in front of her.

"Vicki, Felix didn't continue looking for you. You said a few hurtful words

to him, and he easily gave up on you," Cloud said.

Vicki scoffed. She wouldn't easily believe Cloud's nonsense.

She glanced at the plate Cloud brought, and although it contained

dishes she used to enjoy, she found no appetite for them. In fact, they

made her nauseous and disgusted. Her taste had changed long ago,

and she preferred the Western cuisine Felix would take her to. Steak

paired with red wine, French escargots with watercress, Atlantic salmon

pasta with the aroma of sage. Times had changed, and she was no

longer the same person she used to be.

She picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites to fill herself up.

Maintaining her strength was crucial now, even if she felt

uncomfortable.

After finishing lunch, she suppressed the discomfort in her stomach and

pushed the plate forward.

She asked, "Cloud, how long do you plan to imprison me?"

Cloud looked at Vicki, his eyes darkened. Since he arrived here, she

hadn't called him Rayan anymore. Abandoning their previous address

was equivalent to abandoning their past relationship. She had indeed

done it.

His heart ached as if he had taken a few punches, leaving him

breathless.

“I said I'll take you away once I finish my business. I will get enough

money to buy a small island in the Caribbean. We can start anew

there,” Cloud said expressionlessly. He took out a piece of paper and

handed it to Vicki.

A small island in the Caribbean? Vicki sneered inwardly.

Once involved with OGW, she could never escape. Eternal peace was

impossible to achieve. Even though Charity was dead, Athena

remained. Even without Athena, there would be others. In any case, the

Rohomes royal family would never give up control over OGW.

Annihilating them all was the only way out.

"What do you want me to do?" Vicki pointed to the paper in front of her

and asked.

“It's simple. It won't be too difficult for you.” Cloud handed her a pen.

"Write a letter to Joyce. I will have someone deliver it to her home. I

need the design plans for the anti-electromagnetic pulse. That's all I

want."

Vicki sneered, "Even if she gives you the plans, you won't deliver both

the plans and me. Am I right?"

She knew him well. It would definitely be like that.

Cloud frowned. She understood him too well. Nothing could escape her

notice. Indeed, he had no intention of letting her go. It had been so

difficult to gain control over her; he couldn't easily give up.

"Vicki, give me some time. Once I have the plans, we can fulfill our

wishes quickly," he promised.

"Stop dreaming. It's impossible,” Vicki said disdainfully. “I will never be

with you. You're dead to me."

After speaking, she suddenly felt a strong wave of nausea. The lunch

she had just eaten was greasy, and she could tolerate it while eating,

but now it made her even more nauseous during digestion. She had

been experiencing such symptoms for two days now.

A vague suspicion arose in her mind. She might be pregnant. She

might be carrying Felix's child. Heh, it happened at a time like this.

However, she should have anticipated it. They had been intimate so

frequently during this period, and she hadn't taken any precautions.

A child was a blessing from above. Being alone in the world, she now

had a blood relative of her own.

She quietly placed her hand on her abdomen, feeling the weight on her

shoulders increase. She had to protect them.

She forcefully endured the discomfort and nausea, not wanting Cloud

to notice anything unusual.

Cloud didn't perceive her condition. He placed the pen in her hand.

"Joyce should recognize your handwriting. I'm only asking you this one

thing. You know, I never intended to harm Joyce's child. I would never

harm you either. But you have to help me. I need to obtain these

plans,” Cloud's expression turned cold. "Handing over these plans

won't cause any significant harm to the warlords."

"Heh, that's how you see it? This thing is related to the power struggle

within the Rohomes royal family, the selection of the next emperor. It

also affects the tense situation between the two countries. This fire

from Rohomes will surely burn Pascaylia's land, and there will be no

peace. Cloud, you're aiding and abetting tyranny,” Vicki despised him.

“I can't worry about all that. Vicki, right now, I only want you! I want to

be with you,” Cloud roared.

Vicki stood up abruptly, looking down at Cloud. “Listen to me carefully!

If you didn't hear it clearly last time, then today, listen to each word

clearly. I love Felix, I love him! I am his wife, and I will never be with you

in this lifetime! Even if I die, it will be the same!"

As she spoke, her anger caused her long hair to fly, showcasing her

stunning and glamorous appearance.

Cloud was stunned. Although he knew it, hearing it again shattered his

heart once more. The intense pain was almost unbearable.

He gritted his teeth. "Write what I asked you to write! If you don't write, I

will have to take action through Anderson. You wouldn't want to see

that.”

Vicki glared at him, her lips almost forming a straight line.

Suddenly, she picked up the pen, her handwriting flowing, and wrote

down Cloud's request, signing her name. Then, she forcefully slammed

the pen onto Cloud's face.

"As you wish."
