บททั้งหมดของ A BABY FOR THE BILLIONAIRE : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

LESLIE’S POV Thoughts of the things Echo said about my dreams kept me awake almost throughout the night, but I managed to get some rest.I woke up earlier than any other person in the mansion, including the guards who were supposed to be vigilant, and the only thought that came to my mind was to take a walk.I wasn’t sure where I was going, but the more steps I took, the more it felt like I was walking to someplace where I was going to encounter relief. I found my steps along the path that led to a beautiful garden where I sat for a very long time. There were so many thoughts going through my mind, but I was still concerned about the dream.Then I felt my stomach grumble, and I was reminded that I had not tasted anything the previous night. I decided to head back to the mansion.I didn’t even realize that the sun was up; the shelter from the garden made it almost impossible for me to feel the sunlight, and I hastened up with my steps.Morgan appeared, and it looked like he had been

MAX’S POV“What is it, Morgan?” I asked, but he said nothing.Even in his silence, I could still see from his eyes that all was not well. “ Mr. Crane ?” He said with a shaky voice, but he wasn’t looking at me. His eyes were staring hard at Nara.“What is it, Morgan? Talk to me?” I waited for a response, but Morgan was still busy staring at Nara.“She has brought trouble, Mr. Crane. I think she has to leave. You have to send her away.” Morgan didn’t sound like he was making a demand; he sounded like he was making a command, and I didn’t like that.“She has done nothing for me to send her away, Morgan. Why are you here?”“He is here to make sure that I leave. He has always wanted me to leave.” Nara interrupted.She had her eyes on Morgan, just like he was staring hard at her. “He can’t even deny it, Mr. Crane. Look at the way he looked at me; all he wants is to make sure that I leave.” Nara turned to look at me, but her gaze didn’t last for too long before she shifted it back to Morg

LESLIE ’S POV I wasn’t sure of what I was supposed to say at that moment, but everything Ravenna said had made my heart beat faster. I stared at her, hoping that she was going to say something different, but she was silent. “What does this mean? Does this mean that I could be truly killed?”“I don’t know, Lysandra. But sometimes Echo’s visions change; most of them don’t really happen the way she sees them. Some can be altered, while some others don’t just happen.” Ravenna thought that what she said was going to be a consolation to me, but I had already been surged into a state of perplexity. There was nothing else she was going to say to get rid of the intensity of what she said to me. But death was not something strange to me,The fact that I had already witnessed it once made it a bit easier for me to bear the news. Maybe I was going to survive by the time it came to me just like the first time, but it could also be a narrow escape. “You are a very powerful seer, Lysandra. I am

MAX’S POV Asher forcefully dragged CEO Ethan away and pushed him to the square where his execution was to take place.A lot of people were gathered to watch, and no one seemed like they wanted him to live after what they heard he did to me. Nara appeared beside me while I was walking to the position left for me at the square. I thought she was not going to be in attendance. “Are you really sure about this?” I asked, but she said nothing. She just kept on walking alongside me. While we walked to the square, curious eyes kept on staring at us. They must have been wondering who Nara was because they usually saw me with Catherine. “War will come to this land!” Ethan was still struggling with the guards, but more of them grabbed him and forced him to his knees.It was time to do the needful, and the only thing remaining was for me to give my command. Everyone was waiting, and the moment I lifted my right hand, there was silence. I couldn’t hear the sound of Ethan’s heartbeat, but I

LESLIE ’S POV Max sounded like he was telling me to walk into a trap, but it didn’t seem like I had any other choice at that moment. When I opened my mouth to speak, something stopped me, and it felt like I was about to go dumb. It had happened before, but not as intense as it happened earlier. “What do you want me to do to prove to you that I mean no evil?” I walked right into the trap, and Max smiled briefly because he was about to get what he had always wanted.“I need you to give me your word, Leslie. Promise me that you will do what I will ask of you. That is the only way I can guarantee your trust.”“I give you my word. You have my word.” I was struggling with the sensation after what I said, and then the voice inside my head came back to warn me just like it had always done.“You are making a very terrible mistake, Leslie. You will die.” It sounded like a warning that was going to remain in my head for a very long time, and it made me shiver.“Are you okay?” Max noticed that
