CHAPTER 9 I’ve made up my mind to live a new life

Jack was disappointed since Stephanie didn’t want to explain anything。 He couldn’t believe that Stephanie， who had always stayed quiet and obedient， would betray him like this。 He put on hand on her waist， while the other gripped her jaw。 “Stephanie Brown， this is the last time I warn you。 If anything goes wrong with the child， you are not the only one that will die with him。 Your family and all people who once cared for you will go with you。 You know I hate joking！” Jack’s handsome face seemed aggressive。 His words gave her a wry smile。 Stephanie didn’t resist。 “Jack， this thing is between you and me。 Leave Shawn alone。” Stephanie’s face was covered in pain。 In Jack’s view， she had no right to argue。 She merely owed his brother a life。 Stephanie looked at Jack miserably。 For now， he would not hear a word from anyone， let alone she was the one who owed Steve a life。 Jack let out a ruthless laugh。 “If they couldn’t even take care of a child， why should I keep them alive？ Moreover， your family raised a person like you。 ” Stephanie never knew falling love with a person that didn’t love her would make her suffer this much。 “I got it。 I will be nice to him。 Don’t hurt anyone！” Stephanie lowered her sight and made a smiling face that was worse than crying one。 Liz stood right next to them。 She smiled at Stephanie complacently。 “Stephanie， without the baby， you can no longer stick to Jack。 The baby’s end means your end。” She thought。 Jack let go of Stephanie and left without even looking at her。 He was sure after this time she would not do anything bold。 Otherwise， it would not end up this easily… In the nightclub， Jack drank for hours， but no matter how much he drank， Stephanie’s face still came up to his mind。 It was like she was his whole world。 “Steph…” Jack drank another cup and looked at a lantern not far away。 Steve， I will protect your child。 I will！ Liz received a message and knew that Jack was drunk at the nightclub， so she came there to bring him back。 “Jack， why would you drink so much again？ Alcohol is bad for you。 Come on， let’s go home。” Liz snatched the cup from his hand， put it on the bar counter， and held him gently。 Jack took a deep breath in her arms。 “Liz…” “Just forget it。 It’s alright。 The baby is fine。” Liz knew how much Jack cared about the child。 She patted his back。 She had been dating with him since student age。 Even now she loved him。 She knew he hated perfume， so she used no perfume; she knew he liked kind girls， so she pretended to be one… Jack kissed her hard， biting her lips gently。 Liz crossed her hands around his neck and kissed back hard。 She then gave him a feigned push。 “Jack， not here…” Jack left the nightclub with her in his arm and opened a presidential suite in a hotel。 “Jack， I like…” Liz was holding Jack’s neck， her face flushed。 The bra had been taken off by Jack with his mouth。 Jack’s lips fell on her neck， her shoulders， while his hands touched her body。 “Steph…。Steph…” He mumbled。 Liz listened to his words with her hands clenched， but she didn’t refuse him。 The name Jack was mumbling during the sex echoed in Liz’s mind and further fostered her hatred， but Liz still came to Jack’s house next day。 Having noticed the kiss marks on her neck， Stephanie felt upset but didn’t say a word。 Liz noticed Stephanie watching her neck too。 She touched her neck shyly and told Stephanie what happened last night in a vivid way， but changed Stephanie’s name to hers to irritate her more。 Jack， you…From now on， my heart is no longer yours…Stephanie moved her eyes away from Liz’s neck， took a deep breath， and said， “Liz， hope you enjoy your time with him。” Steve， it’s so easy to fall in love with someone， but it’s so hard to let go of him…Stephanie sighed， staring at Steve’s portrait。 Love does have time limit。 Steve， I have made up my mind。 I will live a new life， abort the baby， and leave him。 If this is going to make me happy， are you going to stop me…She， however， couldn’t find a chance to do so。 Time went by and nothing happened。 Stephanie’s belly got larger and larger。 Five months passed。 These days， Liz was planning on an accident to kill Stephanie and her baby。
