Raina’s POV:
Soon, it was Friday.
Wearing my elegant white dress, I went to the park where Susan and I agreed to meet.I was waiting for
her.
And the moment she arrived, she warned me, "Raina, remember one thing.Do not hurt the kids."
"I know what I’m doing," I replied flatly.
"You should listen to me, or Charles will not let you go."
Sick of her nagging, I promised her with a frown, "Don’t worry.I am not planning on hurting anyone."
After giving me a nod, Susan took out a small red pouch from her bag and handed it to me.
"This contains blood.Hide it well and you can wait till you get the right chance and break it."
"Alright."
"And watch out for the car with the license number ending with the digits .That car will take you to the
place you want to go."
Upon hearing that, I nodded and smiled.
With that, Susan turned around and left.I then walked to the bathroom in the park and put the blood
pouch inside my dress.
Just when I was about to head out, I bumped into Susan again.
Startled, I wondered why she was still there.
While I was in a daze, Susan pulled me aside and reminded me patiently, "Raina, when you see Alice,
act naturally and greet her like you always do.Or else she’d get suspicious of you."
Glaring at her, I reminded her with a frown, "If you don’t leave soon, they’re going to be more
suspicious!"
Only after hearing that did Susan walk away.
Finally, the place fell quiet again.I waited on the path that Alice was supposed to walk on.
It did not even take thirty minutes for me to see Alice, pushing the baby stroller with the twins as she
walked towards me..
However, she did not see me, so I pretended to run into her.
"Alice? I didn’t expect to see you here."
"What a coincidence!"
Alice also seemed to be surprised to see me.
"Raina, I heard what Charles did…" she said in an apologetic tone.
"That was my fault.I was the one that went to the event wearing the necklace that you gave me,
irritating Charles in the process.I apologize for the trouble, Alice," I said softly, interrupting her.
Lowering my gaze, I pretended to look guilty.
Deep down, I knew that I was doing exactly what needed to be done to arouse her sympathy towards
me.
Just as expected, i heard her soft voice, mixed with a hint of anxiety as she said, "It was not your
fault.Ever since Scarlett returned, Charles has become increasingly irrational and unreasonable.He
doesn’t even listen to me anymore.I am so worried about him and I really don’t know if and when he will
be able to move on with his life."
"Don’t worry.Charles will understand you sooner or later.You are his mother, after all,"
I comforted her with a smile, but in my heart, jealousy and anger were raging like the stormy sea.I had
been trying really hard to win Charles over, but he had been driving me away and he had even
humiliated me in public.I had been raped by my own father, and I had been forced to shoot a porn
movie.
Thinking of that, I felt like I had experienced all the worst that the world offered.
On the other hand, Charles did everything he could to please Caroline.
And she was enjoying all the things that I could not even dream of getting.
What did she do to make Charles so obsessed with her? The longer I thought about it, the more furious
I became, and my palm started to hurt when I heard Alice’s voice again, which pulled me back to
reality.
Looking down at my hand, I saw blood, which was oozing out from my palm because I dug my
fingernails too deep
"Are you alright?" Alice asked in a concerned voice.
"I feel a little dizzy, and it’s probably due to lack of sleep," I explained at once.
"Is that so?" Alice was still looking at my hand.
Giving her a faint nod, I squatted down in front of the stroller, grabbed a toy, and shook it in front of the
twins to amuse them.
"Jason, Jerry, did you two miss me?"
The twins actually looked adorable with their big bright eyes, and their chubby faces, but for some
reason I felt disgusted.
They were Charles and Scarlett’s kids, and they were an obstacle in my quest to become Mrs.Moore.
However, I decided to make them my stepping stone.
While I was playing with them and talking to Alice, I kept getting increasingly anxious.
What was Susan even doing? It had been a while, and nothing had happened.
All of a sudden, I felt like God heard my prayers.I suddenly heard the sound of car tires screeching.
The moment I turned around, I saw a car rushing towards us.
Soon, the car doors flung open, and several men wearing masks, surrounded us.
Alice’s expression changed drastically as she stood in front of the stroller and shouted, "What are you
doing?"
However, the men did not falter at all.
One of the men pushed Alice to the ground in a swift move.I hurried to hold her, showing an
appropriate amount of panic in my eyes.
"Alice!"
With a painful expression, she grabbed her ankle.
"Your foot…"
Although my eyes appeared to show concern, I was laughing in my heart.I felt like God had blessed me
when I saw that Alice had sprained her ankle, which meant that she was not in a position to ruin my
plan.She was not a threat.
Even though Alice could not move, she yelled at the men, "Stop! Don’t touch them!"I turned around and
saw one of the men reaching for the twins.
"No!" I shouted, rushed to them, and pushed the man to the side
"Raina!" I heard Alice’s worried cries from behind me, but I did not have time to answer her.I quickly ran
to the stroller and stood in front of it, pretending like I was protecting the twins.
"You bitch! Move aside at once!"
Cursing and glaring at me, the men rushed towards me.
Although their attacks looked frightening, it did not hurt much.
Twisting my body as I groaned in pain to keep up with the act, I never let go of the stroller.
Seeing the scary scene in front of them, the twins began to cry along with me.
"Stop!"
Alice tried to hobble over, but the men stopped her effortlessly.
One man threatened, "What’s going on here? Are you that eager to die?"
Alice shook her head.
"Please stop! Don’t beat her! Is it money that you’re after? I’ll give you however much you want!"
I had been observing Alice the whole time, and when I noticed that she was on the verge of a
breakdown, I knew that it was time for the climax of the show.
"You can kill me! But don’t lay a finger on the babies!" I shouted and sobbed.
Those words were the signal that we had agreed upon, so the moment the men heard that, one of
them lunged towards me with a sharp knife.
"No!"
Alice was screaming when the man stabbed me in the chest with the knife.
There was a cold feeling in my chest and I felt the blood pouch break.
The bright liquid immediately dyed my white dress red, making it visually shocking.I whimpered
painfully and pretended to collapse to the ground.
"Shit! How could you kill her?"
Another man shouted as he kicked the man who stabbed me to the ground.
"Retreat!"
In the blink of an eye, they all jumped into the car, and drove away at lightning speed.
"Raina! Raina!" Alice screamed as she ran towards me.
With a worried look in her eyes, Alice’s hands froze and she was trembling, unable to think of what to
do.
"Alice…" I spoke intermittently with my eyes half closed, pretending to be weak.
"Jason, Jerry… How are they? Did… Did they get hurt?"
"No! They are fine! I want you to hold on, okay? Stay strong.Don’t close your eyes."
Holding my hands tightly, Alice burst into tears.
Just then, a car was passing by.
"Raina, hold on!"
Saying that, Alice staggered and waved her arms to stop the car.The last two numbers of the license
plate of that car was.
Relieved, I closed my eyes.
Soon, I felt someone picking me up.
I heard some noises and voices before we arrived at the nearest hospital.
"Doctor, please save her…" I heard Alice pleading with the doctor outside the operation theater.
Slowly opening my eyes, I saw a young doctor in a white lab coat standing beside me.
Susan had already bought him off.
With a plain expression, he bandaged the "wound" that didn’t even exist and waited there for a long
time before he walked out of the room.
Standing behind the door, I peeked through the crack.I saw that the twins’ baby stroller was gone.
Two familiar-looking people were standing behind Alice.
They were the servants who worked for the Moore family Clenching her fists, Alice looked at the doctor
with a worried expression.
"How is Raina?" she asked in a concerned voice.
"She is lucky that the knife missed her vital organs.Although I have treated her cut, it is still too deep,
so she needs to rest well," the doctor said flatly.
Only after hearing that did Alice breathe a sigh of relief.
A while later, a nurse walked in and sent me to the ward.
Alice rushed over and looked at me with earnest concern.
Forcing a smile weakly, I said in a low voice, "It’s good that you are all right…"
"Raina."
She seemed to be moved by my act as she gently caressed my cheek.
"I was too flustered at that time, and all I could think about was to protect you…" I rubbed my cheek
against Alice’s palm with tears streaming down my face.
"I’m sorry that I made you worry." Beads of tears appeared in Alice’s eyes.
"You silly girl."
It took a long time for her to calm down.She slowly wiped away her tears.
"The doctor said that you need to rest well, so I am going to take you home."
Shaking my head with fear in my eyes, I grabbed her hand.
"Please don’t make me go back to the Hill family’s house.I can’t possibly go back there looking like
this…"
"Of course! I know how worried your parents will be if they saw you in such a bad condition," Alice said
with a sigh.
She clearly misunderstood what I meant, but that was exactly what I wanted.
Nodding weakly, I said, "Yes."
With a look of kindness, Alice said, "You should come to the Moore family’s house with me to
recuperate, then."
Soon, the car stopped in front of the Moore family’s house.
Alice ordered the servants to help me sit on the wheelchair before she pushed it into the villa.
Lowering my gaze, I smiled, feeling excited in my heart.I was confident that the moment I stepped foot
in that house, I would have taken a huge step towards my goal.I knew that it would only be a short
while before I became Mrs.Moore, "What happened?"
Chloe asked in surprise.I looked up and saw her walking towards us, wearing a limited edition
designer-branded dress.
Alice briefly explained to her about everything that happened.
Shocked and horrified, Chloe leaned forward to hug me.
"Thank you for saving my mom and my nephews."
"It was my pleasure," I replied with a smile.
Chloe rolled her eyes at me before she suddenly winked at me.
Just when I was wondering what she meant by that, she suggested to Alice, "Raina is the Moore
family’s savior.Why don’t we let her recuperate in the master bedroom?"
‘The master bedroom… Charles’ room?’
Although I was overjoyed at heart, I pretended to be shy and embarrassed.
"There’s no need for such a big gesture.I only wanted to protect Alice and the twins.I do not want to
trouble you guys…"
"It’s no trouble at all! After all, we might have died if it hadn’t been for you,"
Alice interrupted me with a smile before she asked the servants to take me upstairs.
Chloe pushed the master bedroom door with a welcoming smile.
As I clenched my fists, I felt my heart racing uncontrollably.
However, a sudden cold voice extinguished my excitement like a bucket of ice.
"What do you think you’re doing?" Christine walked over to us with a long face.
Alice quickly explained everything to her in a soft voice.
And even after hearing that, Christine still refused without any hesitation.
"No.Even if she did save your life, that doesn’t give her the right to go into Charles’ room."
"But this is the best room in the house," Chloe protested like a spoiled child.
Christine glared at her before she turned to Alice.
"James will be home soon.Do you think that he will accept Raina staying there? How are you going to
explain it to him?"
Seeing Alice embarrassed, a wave of nervousness crashed into my heart.
"You can’t be doing this, Alice."
An old man’s majestic voice made the room even colder.I looked in the direction of the voice.
Michael and Lawrence were standing in the stairway.
Among the men of the Moore family, they had more power than Charles.
Although Lawrence remained silent, I could tell that he was also against the idea. Feeling the
disappointment, my heart sank.
Now, it was nearly impossible for me to stay in the master bedroom.
However, Alice was unusually firm.
"Is a room more important than my life and the twins’ life? If it weren’t for Raina, we might have died
today.Are you certain about treating the woman, who saved our lives, so rudely?" Alice questioned
loudly.
