Chapter 555
Maja glanced at her phone to see that it was already past one in the morning.
“Mr. Raymond, it’s already late. You should get some rest.”
lan looked at her phone, a bit miffed that she wouldn’t give him her personal number. His eyes roved over her stomach, thinking about the baby she was trying to conceive, and he was jealous, “You haven’t been pregnant before, have you?”
The atmosphere in the room chilled at his words. Maja felt her head spin with anger, unsure of how to respond.
lan didn’t hear any rebuttal, so he presumed she might have indeed been pregnant with her husband’s child before. He clutched the side of the bed, his words becoming increasingly venomous, “So you really have been pregnant before. Only someone like you would settle for a guy like him.”
Maja stiffened, feeling a cold shiver creep up from her feet to her head. She turned around, ready to leave, not wanting to say another word.
But lan stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, “You got upset just because I said a few words? If you really cared about me, you wouldn’t be trying to get pregnant.”
“That’s none of your business!”
At those words, lan’s eyes narrowed, “What did you say?”
Maja took a deep breath, looked up at him, her eyes resolute, “I said, it’s none of your business whether I’ve had a child or not.”
lan was seething, pulling her to him, “None of my business! I’ve been by your side more than your husband has. What do you take me for?”
Maja slapped his hand away, “You’re my lover, the third wheel. Know your place. You have one last chance, if you want to do it, then do it.”
With that, she walked out the door.
lan had never been so infuriated. It was one thing when Tyler joked about him being the third wheel, but to have that woman actually treat him like one was a bitter pill to swallow. He stormed out the door and caught up with her just as she was stepping into the elevator. He blocked the closing doors, pulling her out of the elevator.
Maja assumed he was ready to go through with their final time together, so she didn’t resist.
Back in his room, he clamped a hand over her mouth and said, “You’re like a dead fish in bed. Do you really think I enjoy making love to you?”
Maja glared at him, her own temper flaring,
Outside, a nurse was asking, “Mr. Raymond, is everything alright?”
Maja tried to make a noise, but her mouth was muffled.
lan called out, “Nothing’s wrong, it’s just that a friend came here to pay a visit.”
The nurse left.
lan bit her lip hard enough to draw blood, “You treat me like a third wheel, but what do you think you are? You’re not even good enough to be a bed partner. I’d rather hire a clean prostitute than be with a woman like you.”
Maja couldn’t push him off, so she hit his back where he had a wound. His face turned pale.
In a fit of rage, lan thrust into her, “Your actions speak louder than your words.”
Maja was so angry that she had a headache, and they remained silent, only their breaths echoing in the room.
It wasn’t until the nurse came for rounds in the morning that lan let her go. Maja was so exhausted she sank to her knees against the wall. She bowed her head, tiredly fixing her clothes and pants.
lan watched her, but the situation was not pleasing to him. He felt angry and wronged, and the thought of not using protection made him spitefully say, “Remember to take your pills. I don’t want to end up with a kid like your husband, especially when the kid may not even be mine.”
Maja stiffened, slowly adjusting her clothes and standing up, her voice hoarse.
“Mr. Raymond, that was the tenth time.”
lan felt frustrated and wronged. Ten times and she still wouldn’t visit him in the hospital.
