Chapter 175 - First Step (1/2)

Ch-174

Cedric didn't sleep after Edward left. He wanted to get drunk senselessly. He wondered if he turned into a monster or what?

If not, the woman whom he loved didn't even say a word about her pregnancy to him. Was he that cruel? He wondered if he overdid the things. Feeling guilty, he went to his bar and took an alcohol bottle to drink. He finished one by a fourth of the bottle. As seconds passed he was turning angry at himself.

And he realized that… without Eleanor… he was nothing but an empty vessel. He has to tell her the truth no matter what. He couldn't go on like this anymore. Cedric would face everything from now on. No matter who came, he will fight head-on. Throwing the bottle onto the ground, he was about to go ahead and grab his jacket.

”CEDRIC!! LOVE!!” a voice could be heard from the hall.

He held his head in pain when he recognized the voice. This woman… he has to deal with her. The sooner the better. If not she would ruin his and Eleanor's life further. But before that he needs to get some information from her.

”What happened?” Nathaira asked worriedly.

She was about to come in and spend her time with him. She would rather not go on a date but would spend time with him. For now… her mission was to sleep with him and get pregnant. She even bought some lingerie with her. Maybe she should take the chance of getting ready in his apartment to seduce him. But the moment she entered she heard a loud breaking voice from his room.

Running towards the source of noise, she saw Cedric breaking the bottles. She was worried that he might be hurt, if that happens her plan wouldn't work. Frowning her brows, she checked him and found no injuries. She felt relieved when she saw him well and fine.

”Those people… how dare they make me go jail!?” he said through his gritted teeth. He didn't expect Nathaira would be coming here at this point… Since she was already here, he has to cover the things.

Nathaira was displeased thinking that Cedric was feeling frustrated for missing Eleanor but now… it turns out that he was displeased because of sitting in jail. Nathaira couldn't understand why he was making it such a big deal. It's just a day of stay in jail, wasn't it? Even she stayed there for nearly a month once upon a time. Well… that was her biggest secret.

”We will deal with them after tonight,” Nathaira said as she placed her hand on his chest making him feel disgusted which he hid with a smile as he held her hand.

”Indeed… let's celebrate our return,” he said wrapping his hands around her which made him disgusted furthermore.

”I will change,” she said. He nodded. She walked to his room boldly and stripped herself before entering the bathroom. She was displeased when she didn't see Cedric following her.

Clenching her palms into tight balls, she stood under the showerhead. Whatever… tonight would be hers and she would sleep with him. If not… they already returned to the country Lucren, she was afraid that Cedric's buried feeling would be resurfaced and would slip from her fingers. Anger was the only thing that she could feel right at this moment. If not how dare he not follow her and have sex with her.

But on the other hand… she satisfied herself saying that he was beyond angry at Eleanor and Valene for putting him in jail and couldn't feel anything for her. Meanwhile… Cedric got ready in his guest room. He badly wanted to use his phone but he couldn't. Sigh… but he has to put on a nice show to Nathaira. Picking his phone, he continued to wait in the hall. He knew what Nathaira was expecting. She wants to have sex with him. And he knew she came up with a few tricks. Walking inside his bedroom, he saw her purse on the couch. Opening it, he saw a few drugs in it. And he knew what kind they are. He replaced those drugs with similar-looking tablets. One could directly say the tablets and drugs are different looking. Cedric placed the drugs as usual in her purse and didn't change them. He took out his other phone and informed Edward about his sister's doing.
