MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Savannah fell onto the soft bed, a look of a vacancy on her pale face. Dylan walked towards the door, pulled it open, and shouted his order at Sarah, who just went upstairs when he heard the movement.

"Take her to her room! And I don't mind how you watch her, make sure she will give birth to the baby safely six months later. You'll be held responsible if anything goes wrong!"

"Yes, sir," answered Sarah, bowing her head a little.

Savannah shivered as the door slammed shut. Her plan failed tonight, and there would be no more chance... Because of her pregnancy, he let her go again without any punishment, but he also strengthened the defense against her and made up his mind to make her have this baby.

Dropping her head, she gazed at her mini bump and clenched her fist.

In the hospital.

Dylan was sitting on a couch in Jacob's office, his face still black and cold from the gastric lavage.

After leaving Beverly Hills, he drove to the hospital, and even the night wind couldn't cold him down.

If he didn't pump his stomach, he's afraid he would have to stay awake all night because of the blue pill.

He couldn't drive as soon as he finished the gastric lavage, so he came to Jacob's office for a rest.

Jacob laughed until his sides ached. "Savannah's a resourceful girl, isn't she? Hahaha… She gave you Viagra..."

"Enough, Jacob. Are you still a doctor? Laugh like that when your patient came to see you?" Dylan was in such a bad mood that he picked up the ashtray on the coffee table and made as if to throw it to his friend's face.

Jacob grabbed the ashtray from Dylan's hand and put it down, "whoa, calm down, Dylan. You've just gotten your stomach pumped. Why are you still so... hot?"

He could not help from laughing again.

Dylan's face changed. He was about to get up to leave when Jacob finally restrained his laughter and poured him a cup of water.

"By the way, the effect of the blue pill is really not bad. I can't believe you succeeded in controlling yourself." Jacob said with a serious expression.

Dylan was speechless. Could he fail? She was now in the first trimester of her pregnancy, and it was a crucial time for the baby's development. The doctor told him that they'd better not to have sex during this period. He couldn't hurt the baby in her anyway.

When she safely gave birth to his child, he would make her pay for tonight!

The thought of it added a strange flush to his darkened face.

Jacob was a little worried about Savannah when he saw Dylan's sullen expression. The last time Savannah contacted a hospital for an abortion, Dylan almost killed the doctor who was about to operate on her. This time, she used this kind of trick unexpectedly... Dylan must be even madder!

"How's Savannah now?" Jacob blurted out.

"You should care about me! I've been drugged by her, and I am the victim." Dylan sneered.

"I know... I mean, you're not gonna punish her, are you? Don't forget, she's pregnant." Jacob reminded him.

Dylan didn't reply. She should thank god that she's pregnant; otherwise, he wasn't really sure what he was going to do. After a long time, the heat in him completely faded away, and he felt much better. He stood up and left the office without another word.

After that night, Dylan did what he said. Savannah was not allowed to walk out of her bedroom, and even the three meals would be served to her room by the maids. The prenatal check-up and yoga class were all canceled. What's more, Dylan also installed a monitor in her bedroom and let Sarah and the maids waiting at the door all the time. They could break in as soon as they found Savannah had anything wrong.

When Sarah saw the arrangement made by Mr. Sterling, she knew that Savannah must have angered him again. Keeping Mr. Sterling's order in mind, she dared not relax for a minute. She asked the servant to put away all the sharp objects in Savannah's room and stared at the monitor every day.

After being confined to her room for a few days, Savannah couldn't bear it anymore. This evening after dinner, she rushed to the door and banged on it, "let me out! Let me out!"

"What do you want, Miss Schultz?" Sarah came immediately.

"I want to go out for a walk. Open my door, please." Savannah said, very upset.

"I'm sorry, Miss Schultz, Mr. Sterling said you are not allowed to leave the room." Sarah refused.

"Then you call him, and I'll tell him myself!" She couldn't believe he wouldn't let her go out when she was so sick! Even if not for her, he would agree for the baby.

Sarah sneered, "Miss Schultz, Mr. Sterling has been very busy lately. And he has made it very clear that I cannot allow you to leave the room. He will be quite annoyed if I call him for this. I advise you to give up the idea!" Then Sarah left.

Savannah continued knocking on the door but received no response.

She frowned, stepped back, and stared at the door. Ignore her? Turning back, she thought for a moment before she ran to the window and pushed it open. Then she looked up at the monitor in the room.

Sure enough, seconds later, the door was pushed open!

Sarah, with two servants, rushed in angrily. They stopped her in dismay and pulled her to the bed, "Miss Schultz, what are you doing again?" 

"You don't let me go out or call Dylan, that's all I can do!" Savannah was not going to jump, and she opened the window only to frighten Sarah and draw her attention. Otherwise, she would not listen to her at all.

Sarah changed her face and knew that Savannah was threatening her. She had played tricks under her eyes several times and made her scolded by Mr. Sterling. What's more, she almost lost her name in the nursing circle! She couldn't see Savannah make trouble again!

With a sharp flash in her eyes, Sarah motioned to the servant to lock the window and forcibly pulled Savannah back into bed.

"Mr. Sterling had been quite annoyed by you, and now you want to call him? Stop dreaming!" sneered Sarah, and then she led the servant out of the room.

That night, when Savannah was ready to go to sleep, she was awakened by a noise of footsteps. She opened her eyes and got up, only to see Sarah coming in with two manservants who carried some tools. They went straight to the window in Sarah's sign.

"What are you doing?" Savannah jumped out of bed and ran to the window.

"Nothing. I had to have the windows nailed up so that you wouldn't do anything to hurt yourself," said Sarah dryly.

Dearest Lovies,

To answer everyone's curiosity I decided to give another batch of chapters. I wanted to hide several mysteries and unfold it gradually so you'll understand why Savannah's behavior was becoming childish. Most women who undergo pregnancy had mood swings and Savannah's situation isn't different at all, another thing, she still not validated as Dylan's woman, although our ML shows his love through actions, his not ready to accept it as someone occupies his heart. The answer to it will be in the coming chapters. As I said earlier, I prepared something bigger that will rack your brain!

Keep on voting, let me hit top ten on the weekly ranking, I will consider giving extra chapters once it happens!

Love lots,

Anna Shannel Lin
