Chapter 51 CHAPTER 51
When the other two men saw this, they were so scared that they nearly peed in their pants.
"Let him go. He already stopped," Sonia said, consoling the thin, tall man as she glanced towards him.
The tall man looked at her with gratitude.
"Fuck off," Daniel growled before he let him go. The man rushed out and disappeared in a flash.
Daniel turned to face towards Valery and with a face contorted with venomous rage, he growled, "Look straight into my eyes and don't you dare blink! If you do anything harmful to my woman again, I swear to you, by the time Baron comes to collect your dead remains, they would need DNA testing to figure out that the body belongs to you!"
Valery was clearly frightened and angry, but resorted to stamping her feet on the floor with her hands on her belly.
Sonia was silent, but her deep black eyes glared at Valery coldly. Despite not uttering a single word, her eyes manifested a certain kind of void that was filled with gloom and emptiness.
They spent two days in the hospital, making sure that there were no other issues with Sonia's body. Daniel finally took her back to his villa by the bay to avoid any trouble from Finney.
During that whole period, he was dedicated to staying closely by her side. However, Sonia did not say a single word throughout.
In the morning, he ordered his servants to prepare bird's nest congee to bring to her room.
He stayed by Sonia's bed to make sure he could take care of everything for her. When she tried to get up, he wanted to help, but when he reached his hand out, she quickly pushed his hands away. "I wouldn't dare bother you, Mr. Dan!" she said, finally opening her mouth after two days of ominous silence. However, this time, her voice was alienated and cold.
There were four families of great power in Dragon City, these consisted of the families of Daniel, Jim, Valery and Leila.
Amongst them, Daniel's family was the richest in the East, and naturally this came with also having the most power amongst the four families.
Sonia had spent months with this man thinking he was simply a poor hobo, and never expected that he was actually a rich man. The most shocking part, was that he was the fiancé of her half-sister, Valery.
"You can ask anything else. I can answer all your questions, except about the child," he said, immediately changing the topic.
She was well aware that he was capable of hiding anything that he didn't want her to know, just like how he had concealed his true identity all this time.
The problem was that he didn't trust her enough.
The idea that he didn't trust her made her feel a bit heavy in her heart.
She finished her porridge and with her last sip, she drank some water silently.
After a lingering silence, she asked, "Do you like Valery?"
"Can't you tell?" he asked in response. He couldn't understand why she would ask such things as it was obvious how much he despised her.
She shrugged her shoulders. It was clear what he had meant, and she was satisfied with his answer, but she couldn't help but ask more.
"If you didn't like her, then why did you sleep with her?"
'Is it true that men only think with the lower half of their bodies? It seemed that they weren't capable of using their brain to solve such problems,' Sonia pondered in the middle of their conversation.
Daniel coughed several times to put some ease towards the uncomfortable atmosphere. He really wanted to let this dense woman know that she was the only woman he had been in bed with. He had dedicated and given himself only to her that night. However, it wasn't the time to tell her, as it would only indirectly reveal the child's secrets.

"What's wrong with you?"

A scenario played in Sonia's head for a while. 'One day, Daniel had an argument with Leila and got himself drunk. Valery then climbed into his bed and a drunken Daniel thought it was Leila and later impregnated Valery.'

Such plots were frequently seen on TV shows. Not to mention, Valery's mother, Elizabeth, was a very skilled woman. She must have inherited that from her.

"Did Valery's family force you to marry her?" This was something she knew, and didn't even have to guess. Some people were just like super glue. Once you stick to their skin, there was no way out of it.

"There's no way I would marry her, but I want to be responsible and raise the baby myself," he said with sheer determination, assuring that the child was indeed important to him and he wanted to be responsible for it.

This answer made Sonia feel a bit uneasy.

'Why would you want to take care of a baby if it weren't yours?'

It seemed to Sonia that he just admitted that the child was his.

The thought that he had sex and had a child with the woman she hated the most was getting to her nerves and was driving her crazy. She looked at him with a hard stare as a burning rage hissed through her body.

To her, he was a cold liar who was tainted and could never wash himself clean anymore.

"I'm sure that Valery and her family will never agree to it. They forced you to get married to Valery and because you didn't want to, you decided to run off and hide in the City. Am I right?" she bragged mockingly.

Not a single word escaped Daniel's lips and he sat completely silent.

He had exhausted all his efforts to make sure that the child would be born into the world safely.

Sonia acknowledged his silence as a confession, and an unpredictable smirk slowly appeared on her face. "Let me guess... You need my help. Since I am your wife, protected by the law, as long as I don't give up my position, there will be no way to force you into marriage with Valery."

A glimmer flashed through Daniel's deep black eyes from surprise.

It was as if she could see right through him.

With his arms folded over his chest, Daniel leaned against the door and watched her endearingly in silence. There was a subtle, but deep look in his eyes.

"There's no need for you to bring too many things. If there's anything that you'll need later on, I can just ask some people to buy them for you."

"How long do we have to stay?" she asked in a low voice. She knew that this question was redundant as there was no reason for him to come back to this City as Dragon City was his home. She wondered if he would ever come back to this city after going home.

"If things don't go as planned and if you are unhappy there, we will be back here by two weeks," he said in a somewhat humorous and witty tone. He could see the uneasiness in her heart very clearly, and this was something he took into account.

Sonia cast a mischievous glance at him.

She wondered how he would react if he found out that Valery was his half-sister.

Shock. Madness. Spit blood. Fury.

Her mind was so muddled by this point, she simply couldn't imagine.

However, she was treating this as revenge for all his deception.

She zipped up her suitcase and carried it downstairs. She took out a box of ice cream from the freezer and went back to her room to watch some TV while enjoying some sweets.

Daniel sat beside her.

"Is Leila coming with us?" she suddenly asked out of the blue.

"She went back yesterday." There was a hint of coldness in Daniel's tone. He frowned slightly, as if he didn't want to talk about Leila.

Sonia wondered if he had explained the whole marriage thing to her.

Did he tell Leila the truth that they were just acting to put her mind at ease?

'Forget it. It's none of my business,' Sonia comforted herself in her mind.

Then, she stretched out her hand to look at the brilliant ring on it. "Is this a crystal or a diamond?" she asked him.

Leila must have recognized it at a glance. She was a jewelry designer and a professional jewelry assessor. No wonder she acted so weirdly when she saw it.

'I really don't know what's going on in this guy's mind. He gave me a diamond ring and made me showcase it in front of his girlfriend. Is he trying to play a game?' she wondered.

What was worse, it was a very valuable diamond. How could he let her wear it? Wasn't he afraid that she would lose it?

Fortunately, she took it off the day she was kidnapped for fear that the oil and smoke would damage the ring while she was cooking. Otherwise, Valery would have been even more furious than Leila, and she would have definitely cut off her hand.
