Abel, alarmed at the frosty look Mitchel gave out, managed to free himself from the ropes and hurriedly wrapped his arms around Katie from behind.
âMiss, please stop this.
The child is mine.
Iâm sorry, but it was me with you that night⦠It really was meâ¦â
âGet off me!â Katie screamed furiously.
âYouâre worthless! You donât deserve to touch me!â
Abel didnât release Katie.
He shielded her belly, fearful she might harm herself.
In a fit of rage, Katie grabbed a nearby ashtray and struck Abel on the head, causing him to bleed, but he still didnât let go.
The drama was unfolding, Katie lashing out and Abel accepting each blow.
Mitchel watched the entire scene in silence and then rose slowly.
His eyes cold, he declared, âTomorrow, I want all those rumors gone.
Donât try to pin this child on me.
Otherwiseâ¦â
A chilling threat crossed Mitchelâs handsome face.
âIâll release a detailed account of how Miss Glynâs bodyguard got her pregnant.
â
The child in Katieâs belly was innocent.
Despite the darkness in its parentsâ hearts, Mitchel didnât want the child to be tainted by their scandals.
He was offering them one last opportunity.
Only Katie and Abel were left behind.
Katie grew weary of her destructive outburst and slumped against the sofa.
Blood smeared Abelâs face, yet he knelt with resolute strength.
âAbel, I wonât have the child of someone as vile as you!â The repulsion was clear in Katieâs eyes as she thought about having been intimate with Abel.
Katie kicked Abel forcefully and spat out, âYou despicable bastard! How dare you touch me?â
Abel kept silent, enduring her physical outbursts.
It was only after Katie had exhausted herself from hitting Abel that Abel finally said, âMiss, I want this child.
â
Katie froze, her voice shaky.
âWhat did you just say?â
Abel wiped the blood off his face, being careful not to scare Katie, and said with firm resolve, âI want this child.
â
âYou bastard! How dare you say that? Do you think youâre worthy?â As Katie raised her hand to strike again, Abel caught it.
Abelâs eyes were intense, filled with a darkness and determination that took Katie back to the moment they first met.
Back then, Jayceon took Katie to the arena to choose a bodyguard where she spotted Abel.
Battling barehanded against five hyenas, Abel had just defeated the last one, his eyes blazing with determination.
Impressed by his resilience, Katie chose him on the spot.
Now, with the same old intense look Abel gave out, Katieâs instincts sharpened instantly.
She stood tall, her voice tinged with arrogance.
âIf you want this child, thereâs only one way.
