Sophia was in the midst of practicing yoga, her face expressionless as she had a face mask on. She pursed her lips slightly as she uttered, “What is there to be afraid of? I’m not the one who’s pregnant. The pregnant woman who’s trying to force a married man to get married to her isn’t worried at all, so what reason do I have to be worried about this?”
Stanley felt like he had nowhere else to release the anger he felt in him. “Where’s my uncle?” He looked around to see that Michael wasn’t home even though the pregnancy incident was now a huge matter.
“He’s busy!” Sophia shifted into a different yoga pose.
Michael had been acting rather mysteriously since the incident occurred. The Mitchells were simply too wild; they utilized the powers and strength of their entire family just to go against him. But this was both a disaster and an opportunity to him—he should grasp this chance to benefit from the Mitchell Family’s acts! Apart from his business, he also had to care for Celine every now and then.
Stanley thought that it was over for Michael—although acting in movies wasn’t his main source of income, it was his passion and career. Who would ask him to star in their movie now that this scandal had surfaced?! If he got canceled from the industry, no one would be able to see him in any movies in the future!
Throughout this period, Sophia was indeed calm. Natasha was the one who should be worried. One day, Natasha was just pacing around in the Mitchell Residence, looking through all the news articles and updates about Taylor’s whereabouts. She then realized that he hadn’t responded to anything at all… Things are starting to look bad for me! The baby in me isn’t even 8 months old! And it isn’t even Michael’s child!
She didn’t know whose child it was. She was too afraid to recall the most torturous period of her life and how she had been violated, ravaged, and torn apart by those people. She was tied onto a bed frame as the people took turns with her. Every once in a while, she would be punched and kicked, and her meals were leftovers served with dirty water. She had no knowledge of the day, time, and season in the outside world, and she had considered killing herself multiple times, but she managed to endure and get through all of it in the end.
She was waiting for the Mitchells to save her—she knew the sort of power and influence they had, and she knew that they’d be able to find her soon. By the time they saved her, she had already been pregnant for a few months. She thought that she had finally escaped from her problems, but she then realized that she had another issue once she returned to Bayside City—she had no explanation for the baby in her belly!
However, if others found out that Young Lady Mitchell had been sold off into the mountains to be gang raped by a few men, what would they say? How could her blue blood tolerate such judgements under public scrutiny? Only a few people in the Mitchell Family knew where she actually was when she disappeared.
They only had to know that the baby in her stomach was Michael’s—that was enough! She wanted to use this opportunity with her child to get married into the Fletcher Family, but the fact that the child’s father wasn’t Michael would soon be exposed. She therefore had to get Michael to agree to marry her quickly before she could find a way to give herself a miscarriage! Then, no one would be able to prove if the child was actually his!
Now, she just had to wait for Michael to give in to her wishes. The Fletchers didn’t recognize Michael as a part of them and knew better than to get involved in this, so Michael was alone in this. Under the pressure and coercion of the Mitchell Family, it was likely that Michael would soon give in and get a divorce with Sophia to marry Natasha.
