WIFE CONTRACT DEBT REDEEMER
Surprising fact
“You're up?” That was the first question I heard when I opened my eyes.
“What happened to me?” I tried to get up, but a hand stopped me.
“You are still weak, no need to force yourself, Angelina,” the voice was heard again warning me.
After I fully realized I just remembered that I had passed out before I was here in my own room.
“Mr. Axel Campbell??” I looked at her questioningly as I recalled that it was the man who had helped me just before I fainted.
“Tell me, since when did you get this kind of torture, Angelina?” Axel's gaze looked at me so probingly.
“A-pa?? What do you mean?” I asked spontaneously pretending to be stupid.
“Do you think I know nothing? And don't try to cover up Henry's actions to you!” it made me feel more cornered.
Trying to avoid her increasingly domineering gaze, making me turn my face away from her, “That's none of your business!” ketus.
“Listen, Angelina! Even though we haven't known each other for a long time, I can't keep quiet if I see Henry torturing a woman like this! Moreover, the woman is his own wife!” Axel faced my body for our gazes to meet again.
“Do not need your pity, Mr. Axel Campbell,” I said coldly.
Axel snorted then smiled smirk at me, “So you love Henry so much, that you covered up his bad deeds to you?” satirical sharp.
Somehow I just fell silent, unable to deny the words of the man who now looks at me meaningfully.
“Good. I won't force it, after all, it's your family's business. Going to waste energy if I deal with the thing about the loser Henry Bastian Campbell,” Axel got up and stepped out the door.
“One more thing, congratulations on your pregnancy. If Henry hurts you again, come to me. I'll be ready to help you, Angelina Louis,” she said to my surprise.
I closed my lips instantly feeling shocked and in disbelief at what I just heard, “A-what?? Ha-mil??” I was shocked to death at that very moment.
I wanted to ask him more, but the man had now disappeared from my sight. Yeah, God. I pregnant? Am I really pregnant now? If so, how does that guy Axel Campbell know I'm pregnant right now? Why am I so careless not to know the changes in my own body? I cursed my own stupidity then and there, pregnant for my present state that was very unlikely. Nope, no! I had to make sure if what Axel told me was true or not.
“Yes, God. The madam?! Why did you get out of your bed?” Miranda immediately moved closer to me and then looked at her body which still felt weak.
“Miranda, tell me. What really happened to me after I passed out?” I hurriedly asked feeling curious.
“I just did what Mr. Axel Campbell told me. That is contacting the doctor to check you,” explained Miranda.
“Then?” I squinted both of my netra at Miranda to ascertain what she said.
“Doctor explained if you are pregnant therefore your health condition is weak now,” added Miranda did not look hesitant at all when saying it.
Yeah, God. So it's true? What Axel told me about my pregnancy turned out to be true. If this is how I should be? What should I do to deal with a situation with my unexpected pregnancy like this? Henry's marriage to me was a contract marriage, if I were pregnant it would be highly unlikely that Henry would accept the presence of the child in my womb right now. Moreover, clearly Henry has another woman, of course the woman he loves, Carla.
“Good. I ask you not to tell anyone this at this time, especially your Master, Miranda. About my pregnancy, let me handle it my own way. You understand?” I'm strict with Miranda.
“Good Mistress. I understand.”
After Miranda left, I sat alone on the balcony of the room that night. So far I don't know what to do about my pregnancy? Don't even know if I should be sad or happy? I stroked my stomach which still looked flat. If only Henry and I were a married couple in general, pregnancy would be the most expected. But unfortunately, our marriage is not an actual marriage, let alone a marriage based on love. Only a few months later, the contract will be over. So if it's like this, what about the fate of my son who is still in the womb? That night, I was in my own mind. Lamenting my fate and thinking about what steps I should take to face it all.

In another place at the same time. The Penthouse has been home to Axel Campbell for several days. The man was busy talking to someone on his phone.
“So now Henry is spending the night with his girlfriend, the model woman? Nice work.” Axel raised the corner of his lips.
“Alright, you make sure to investigate Angelina Louis and keep an eye on that woman! I don't want the slightest bit of information from him to be missed!” axel's orders were firm, after which he disconnected his phone.
“Henry, Henry. You're a real loser. Your wife is pregnant, you are making out with another woman.” Axel snorted violently, “If you are like this you will be destroyed by your own actions without the need to intervene from me,” he said monologously.
After Axel finds out that Henry went to Angelina's house that night, he becomes interested in finding out how far the two of them have come and finding out everything about Angelina Louis. And at that time Axel got the unexpected surprising fact, if Henry married Angelina secretly. Of course it becomes increasingly makes Axel wonder, what is the motive of Henry to do the marriage with Angelina Louis? Henry had a clandestine marriage, unbeknownst to the public while on the one hand news about Henry's relationship with a model woman named Carla Queen Baker was trending everywhere.
When Axel wanted to find out for himself by meeting Angelina directly at his house earlier, he unexpectedly just got a more surprising fact. The wounds on Angelina's body and the woman's pregnancy. Two things that made Angelina Louis fell unconscious this morning. What a poor woman. That's one word Axel Campbell had in mind. After knowing all the facts that Axel Campbell also has other plans, he is increasingly interested in knowing who is actually Angelina Louis and what is the real motive of Henry marrying the woman? And clearly Axel is increasingly challenged to get involved far with the wife of his half-brother.
