A Force Love Contract With GANG LEADER

Kate knew she had changed a great deal.

After she got pregnant, she felt a ponytail didn’t suit her, and she made a simple bun behind her head, showing more of her forehead. This made her face smarter and more fashionable.

Though she barely wore makeup, her skin was shining with a healthy gloss because of being taken care of properly. Kate was wearing a white cashmere coat with a stylish maternity dress inside, dark gray woolen stockings, and black suede flats.

The air she carried obviously showed that she was living a wealthy life.

Plus, there was a ring on her hand. Now she realized that she was holding her hands together and subconsciously or consciously hiding the ring on her finger.

Caroline’s sharp eyes rested on her belly, and she asked, “How many months is it?”

Kate didn’t answer.

Caroline seemed to understand, and she extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray. “Getting back to me again.”

“After we parted, I had a boyfriend. I quit my job and worked as a shopping assistant in the mall. Later I got pregnant, and I wanted to have the baby, but he didn’t have a steady job. So money was quite a problem for us. He said he copied some files when he repaired the computer for the vice president of the company he worked for. They seemed quite valuable. So on impulse, we copied a disc and proceeded with blackmail.”

“That night, he stayed at home alone waiting for them to exchange the files with money. I was wandering outside and had not received his phone call for a long time. I became worried, and I went back. I found the curtain was half closed when I got there. I peered through the seam of the curtain…”

Caroline closed her eyes, “The floor was covered with blood, and I came to understand what ‘blowing brains out’ meant. And then I saw two faces. I turned back and ran. They heard me, and one of them came out to chase me; the other one still stayed in there to clean the mess. I ran to a construction site. I saw a pond about two meters deep, and I jumped down… The man watched there for about two hours without seeing me, and he finally left.”

“I had a narrow escape and didn’t dare to go back home. I went to a friend and borrowed some money from her and took the train and fled to another city that night. I lost my baby on the way…”

“I went all the way to Miami and found a place to stay. The landlord introduced me to work in a factory owned by his relative.”

Caroline was calm as if she was telling a story she read in some magazine. Kate was shocked, and when she heard that she had lost her baby, her heart shrank.

“Anyway, we deserved it. We made the bed, so we had to lie in it. It is a shame I dragged you into this. Henry, that asshole must have sold you out. He died himself, and he still made you a victim too.”

Now her voice showed some indignation.

“I didn’t mail the letter,” Kate said honestly.

“Forget it. They are too powerful and deep-rooted. It might be useless to mail that letter or even get one more person killed.”

“So what brings you back here?”

Caroline pushed a strand of hair back to her ear and showed some sorrow. “That asshole was stupid and messy, but he really loved me. I heard that his body had been found. I wanted to go to see his grave.”

A phone rang, and they were both shocked. Caroline gave a glance at her cell phone and said, “I have to go to work. I sell wine for my friend here.”

She stood up and pulled her short skirt straight. Before she opened the door of the booth, she turned back and said, “You won’t tell them I am here, will you?”

“Of course not.” Kate said and added after a thought, “But you’d better leave here as soon as possible.”

Caroline nodded, “I will go in two days.”

Kate went out of the bar, and the sky was much darker. Some of the neon shop plates were already on. She felt like she just had a long, weird dream.

She paused for a second and then crossed the road hastily and got back to where she parted with Ed.

She saw Ed running from a distance with a sack holding the milk teacups.

Kate explained, “I was so bored waiting here. I looked around in the shops here.”

Sam didn’t mind and just said, “The milk tea will be cold soon.”

“It is okay.”

She took it from him and said, “Let’s get back. It is late now.”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

In the middle of the night, Kate felt cold in her sleep.

She pulled the blanket higher, but the coldness didn’t reduce. She woke up with a shiver and saw a shadow bending down over on her.

She was just about to cry out when she recognized the outline of the face and took a sigh of relief.

But soon, she felt her throat clamped.

A pair of big hands were surrounding her neck and was tightening up.

She was scared and just managed to utter the word “Tristan…” when the hands-on her throat tightened, and she could only make some breathless sound.

Tristan was expressionless and asked gravely, “Why did you betray me?”

“Why did you did that to me?”

His hands were freezing cold, and the pressure on her neck didn’t reduce. She had difficulty in breathing and reached her hands to try to break his grip, but his fingers were like iron and didn’t move at all.

“Why?” He asked. His voice had some pain in it, and his calm face seemed like it was going to fall apart. He tightened his hands again.

Her tears came out. She was nearly suffocated, but her heart calmed down instead. She reached her hand to his face as if to touch and to heal the wounds.

In the dark, there was a little sparkling light. It was so tiny but it reflected in the man’s eyes.

The hands-on her neck suddenly released. Kate had almost lost consciousness. It took her a long time to resume her natural breathing. And she saw her hand that was held in that man’s hand. A tiny star was sparkling on her finger.

He took her hand to his mouth when there were footsteps behind him.

And the black barrel of a gun was pointed against his left temple.

Kate gave out a muffled cry.
