Chapter 138

ISADORA’S POV

I poured a generous amount of the lavender–scented liquid soap into my palm, ready to wash my face and unwind for the night. The scent filled the air, calming my nerves.

Just as I leaned forward toward the sink, I heard the sharp buzzing sound of my phone ringing on the nightstand in the other room. My body tensed for a

second.

I was expecting two important calls that evening–one of them potentially life–changing.

Without hesitation, I quickly wiped my hands on the towel and rushed out of the bathroom, my feet padding against the tiled floor. I snatched the phone from the table just as the screen lit up with the caller ID I’d been hoping to see. I swiped to answer.

“How was it?” I asked immediately, skipping the pleasantries. My voice was low and eager.

“I got the job done,” the male voice responded on the other end. His tone was confident, and emotionless–exactly what I needed to hear.

“You’re sure it exploded?” I pressed, needing to confirm every single detail.

“Yes, ma’am. Just like we planned. Everything went off without a hitch.”

“And you’re absolutely certain they’re all dead?” I asked again, enunciating each word slowly, needing him to hear the weight of what I was asking.

“Of course. They were cuffed to the chairs inside. There was no way out. When the place went up, they were still inside. No survivors,” he replied,

assured.

A slow, satisfied smile stretched across my lips. My chest rose with relief, joy, and triumph.

“Good work. Your payment will be transferred to you and your boys before the end of today,” I said smoothly.

I didn’t wait for a reply before I ended the call. I had heard enough.

Twisting on the spot, I let out a giddy laugh and twirled once, overjoyed. It was finally over. That conniving gold–digger Olivia was gone for good, and with her, every last trace of the chaos she had brought into my life.

Now, things could finally return to how they were supposed to be me beside Adrian, undisturbed.

Still smiling, I immediately called Jessica. She answered before the first ring even finished.

“Hey babes!” she greeted, her voice laced with curiosity.

“I have great news,” I announced, unable to contain my excitement.

“Okay, spill it.”

“First of all,” I began, already pacing the room with a spring in my step, “a few weeks ago when that pathetic leech Olivia was still living in this house, I was walking past the main bedroom and the door was slightly open.”

“Okay…?” Jessica said, prompting me to continue.

“I was going to ignore it, but then I overheard something that caught my attention. She was on a phone call with someone, and at first, I didn’t think much of it–until I heard her say something that made me stop in my tracks.”

Jessica was quiet now, listening carefully.

“She said she was pregnant,” I said, lowering my voice even though no one was around. “I couldn’t hear much more because she suddenly got suspicious

and came to check the door. Luckily, I slipped away in time without her seeing me.”

Jessica gasped. “Pregnant? For who?”

“Who else? Adrian, of course,” I replied. “I was shocked, honestly. I thought she had taken care of that problem a long time ago. But apparently, she kept it hidden from him.”

“But I didn’t waste time,” I said proudly. “As soon as I processed what I heard, I went straight to Adrian and told him I was pregnant instead.

“Of course. I had to. This is war, Jessica. I couldn’t risk her getting back into his life because of some unborn child. So, I told him I was expecting his baby

“and now that I’ve told him, am sure I’ve secured the spot, we haven’t really had much time to discuss about the baby since I told him but am planning to discuss it with him today or tomorrow, depending on when he’s free,” I said

I rolled my eyes and sighed, not because she was wrong, but because I already knew that. “Yeah, I know,” I replied with a low voice. “I’ve thought about that too. But Adrian thinks the pregnancy is still really early, so I’ve got a little time. I’m going to keep trying my best to actually sleep with him so I can get pregnant for real.”

There was a brief pause before Jessica responded. “Okay, now that is a good plan. But girl, you need to make it quick. Time isn’t on your side.”

“I know, I know,” I said, pacing slowly around my room. “I’m just waiting for the right moment. He’s been distant lately, always on the phone or cut of the house. But once I get the chance, I’ll make my move. Sooner or later, he’ll fall into my trap. But that’s not even the main reason I called you.”
