Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 15

It was late at night. Fia went into bed despite how unwell she was feeling. She didn’t know why her lower belly was in discomfort. 

Suddenly, she woke up and she could feel some warmth flowing out from inside of her.

She gave it a count and realized that her period was about half a month late. Ever since she started taking the medicine two years ago, her period had never gone according to schedule.

“Is it my period?”

She mumbled to herself as she got out of bed. She felt a different kind of pain in her lower abdomen from the usual pain she felt when she had her period.

She then remembered the needle therapy that she went through earlier, and so blamed her pain on the treatment. She changed her underwear and wore a pad before going back to bed.

Several minutes later, she looked at the lamp on the ceiling and couldn’t fall back to sleep no matter how hard she tried.

She looked at the time using her mobile.

It was two in the morning.

He was not home yet.

Did… Did he really go to Esme?

After being married to him for three years, she knew that he was not someone patient when it came to fulfilling his biological needs. Even if he didn’t love her, she would do what he wanted for him.

There were a lot of places in this mansion where there were marks of him making love to her.

And when the thought of him and Esme…

When the thought…

She didn’t want to think about it, but her thoughts were out of her control.

“Ah!” Fia screamed as she covered her head. Her heart was thumping in distress as her body shook uncontrollably.

She grinded her teeth together as she grabbed the edge of the blanket and stuffed it into her mouth. She chomped it to the point that her veins were popping, and her tears dampened the pillow.

After a long while, she finally let go when her body was out of strength and she was covered in sweat.

“Conrad… if possible… I’d rather you didn’t help me. I’d rather you didn’t become my big brother.”

Then, she wouldn’t have fallen in love with him that easily when she lacked love. After loving him for so many years, her love still was not reciprocated even though she sacrificed her own freedom for him.

The door was suddenly pushed open as the man walked into the room with cold air from outside.

Fia raised her head, surprised.

She thought that he wouldn’t come back.

Conrad gave her a cold look and went to shower after he took his pajamas. After he was done, he pulled the blanket over himself too.

Several minutes later, he said in an impatient tone, “Don’t tell Mrs. Taylor to call me again and again next time!”

She had never asked Mrs. Taylor to call him. She never thought that Mrs. Taylor would call him back home.

“Do you know that Esme is raising hell at home because Grandmother Thea is forcing her to get married?” The man asked in a serious tone.

Fia pulled the blanket again and answered dispassionately, “It has nothing to do with me.”

Suddenly, the man rolled over and put himself over her. One of his hands was on her collarbone as he gazed at her.

There was disgust in Conrad’s expression. “I always thought you were a kind woman during the three years that we’ve been married. Only now do I realize how manipulative you are! Despite saying that you’ll agree to the divorce, you asked your mom and your grandmother to help with dealing with Esme instead!”

“Is that how you view me?” Fia asked in a whisper as she took in a deep breath, trying her best to suppress the pain in her chest.

“I was originally planning to delay the divorce because your mom had terminal cancer. But seeing that this is how you deal with Esme, I don’t want to wait anymore!”

Fia’s coolness once again cracked as her breathing became tumultuous and her chest heaved.

Before she could say a word, the man lowered himself and kissed her lips before saying, “We’re husband and wife, after all. Don’t force me to abandon you completely!”

“Don’t touch me!” She screamed as she pushed him away, but he simply caught her wrist and held it above her.

Meanwhile, his other hand grabbed her collar as he said, “Since you don’t want to divorce, you’ll have to fulfill a wife’s obligation!”

Fia couldn’t breathe as he choked her because he was holding her collar. She pushed him away as best she could.

“I’m on my period!”

Conrad was stunned.

“Get off of me, you animal!” She pulled the blanket and covered herself as she trembled. It was both out of anger and sadness.
