chapter 9

Early morning in the outskirts of Marion near Germenia, in the middle of nowhere a woman's screams fill the air, her screams are coming from the only house in that area.

Inside a maid said "almost done mistress, push!" she was standing beside the midwife, "give me one more big push, she is almost near" instructed the midwife to the delivering woman.

The woman cried out "no, I don't want her. I need a son, not a girl" she continued with her screams while pushing.

The room's door was open and a little girl around 7 years old was standing in the corner holding a stuffed toy in her arms, her face full of tears. "Mommy" she whispered.

The woman gave a big yell and a faint cry came, "She is alright" said the midwife while cleaning and inspecting the newborn, "congratulations".

With a high-pitched voice and sore throat, "call him" she ordered her maid. The maid was panting and ran fast to the living room calling Mr.shelford as instructed.

She dialed him holding the phone waiting for the man to answer when she heard a voice different from whom she expected she asked "Mr. King Shin? "

The other man replied "I am Mr.King Shin's butler. May I know who I am talking to?"

"I am Mrs.Xianlong's maid. She gave birth. Pink. My mistress asks for a visit"

"I shall best throw the message as ordered, never call again, I have no more business with you nor know your news. I have nothing to do with the pregnancy." the call was ended. the maid placed her hand on her mouth, "she won't like this" walking towards the master room. She saw the little girl standing in the hallway, "Mei..." she whispered. The girl Mei looked terrified at the maid and ran to her room. The house was full of moans and groans of the mistress, her maid was terrified to tell her the message.

"Mistress Daiyu... Calm down everything can be fixed" the maid was shaking.

Daiyu looked at her with terror glowing from her black eyes, "what did he say?" asked with her teeth closed.

"His butler answered and gave us the message as to never call again and he no longer wishes to know news about you. And... He has nothing to do with the pregnancy."

She fainted when heard the message, and her maid and midwife rushed to wake her up.

"rose water, vodka anything bring me to wake her up" the midwife yelled over the maid, the maid ran over the perfume bottles and tossed some over the fainted mistress. Daiyu woke up with a big breath "I won't let it go"

The newborn returned to crying as it needs her mother, the mother at first refused but she was persuaded by the midwife who the later excepted to feed her.

Rage and hate were fuming from her face. "I will make them pay; my promise to a lifetime"

Back to Shelford mansion:

Scarlett was in her parents' house while Rex was finishing up some business documentation and would later follow them. His in-laws were making a small family celebration for their only and first grandchild.

As he finished and started to undress, john knocked on the door "sir, King Shin"s butler wishes to speak with you downstairs it is very important."

His breath froze in his throat 'may God be Merciful'

"coming" re replied and walked over the butler. The butler nodded when he saw his master, "sir i delivered the message as you planned. Pink."

Rex a lope his head 'she did not do her promise nor stay faithful. Her loose. now he will work with John as his assistant and no evidence there'.

"John, may I have a few minutes please" called out Rex.

John walked in from upstairs "yes sir" he walked downstairs and stood politely beside the baron, "what do wish sire"

"From this moment Rick will be working in this household and will be your assistant, show him around and prepare for him the empty room."

He later headed upstairs, entered his office and called the house landlord where he rented by the Alias King Shin. Rex stated that he wishes to buy it, to his delight the owner accepted and they chose the day for the appointment and sign the contract.

He then called his business assistant explaining his desire to gift the small house to the orphans he wishes to adopt and asked to prepare for the renovation as he wishes to upgrade the house.

Later he changed into autumn's casual wear the weather is cold for him and followed his family to his in-laws' house.

'if i gift the orphan siblings the land and the house will make Rouge and her family delighted plus best coverage of any evidence. Thank God we never met in that house.'
