Wife is a Lawyer
Chapter 1 A Deal

Inside a villa, acute pain crawled up Adriana's body and then spread over every inch of her skin.

She clutched at the man's arm, on the surface of which her nails were scratching.

Soon, he seemed to notice she was crying. Her tears curbed his desire. He stood up, looking aloof. Then he walked into the bathroom.

After the door was slammed shut, he started showering.

Surrounded by darkness, Adriana wrapped herself in the quilt, trembling out of pain.

Just a month ago, her brother, actually the son of her adoptive mother, suddenly passed out because of pain. After a physical check in the hospital, he was diagnosed as kidney cancer. An operation was of urgent need for that. But obviously, it would be a great bill to pay.

That was why her adoptive mother forced her here to earn money to pay the bill.

As privileged as this man had been, nobody else should know about the deal. That was why it happened in a villa located in a suburban area where there were barely any people living around. Blindfolded, she was taken inside this room with all lights off and curtain closed. She had no idea who she was facing.

Ten minutes later, the man walked out of the bathroom.

"Sir...what about the money..." Adriana struggled to hold back the pain and put on her clothes, asking with humble voice.

"Why are you still staying?" the man expected her to leave already. After a short pause, he continued, "It's the last time we see each other. If you replace it hard to adapt to the pain, don't push yourself."

"NO! I need the money!" Adriana was rendered panic when hearing that the man no longer needed her. Under the dim light, she rushed over to the man regardless of the pain. She grabbed his arm, pleading, "That was my virginity. I could adapt to it after a few more times. I...I can hang on... Please..."

The man seemed to be frozen as soon as she clutched at his arm.

Though she couldn't see his face, she could clearly feel he was being displeased.

"Sorry..." Ariana hurried to step away from him.

While they were tangling on the bed just now, the man was literally grinding her, with no caress and gentleness. He simply rested his hands on her waist, having no intention to grope around her body. Obviously, he was of mysophobia.

The man took out a check from his suit jacket. Then he handed it to her, "Here is a check of a million. After you get pregnant, I will pay off the rest 50%."

"Thank you." Though it was just a flimsy check to hold, she felt like being burdened with thousands of pounds. It made her hard to breathe.

But finally, she felt a bit more relieved as the bill could be paid.

"It's just a deal." The man responded with coldness. He walked over to his closet while speaking, "Ben will drive you home. Come here again a month later when the ovulatory time comes." "Okay." She nodded and left.

Before heading here, Adrian had finished a physical check in the hospital. Today was the last day of her ovulatory period. She didn't want to spend any extra time staying inside this villa.

Then she headed to the Waverly Hospital.

"Oh you little bastard! Don't you see your brother is dying? How could you just sit by and do nothing about it? If it weren't for me taking you back home from the street when you were a baby, you should have been dead twenty years ago!"

Thelma Hale, her adoptive mother, walked over to slap Adriana when seeing her coming.

The slap straightly hit her face hard, sounding around the corridor.

Her face went swollen. A tinge of blood appeared at the corner of her lips.

She reeled backward and finally steadied herself with her hand pressing against the wall.

But she still replied with a smile, "Mom...this is the last time I will call you mom..."

"I am not your mom!" Thelma was about to slap her once again.

But Adriana grabbed her arm to stop her, "Mom, I have been grateful to you for saving me. But during all these years, I owed you nothing. It was I who earned myself all my tuition. I even paid for your daughter's tuition by blood selling."

"Bullshit!" Thelma's chest started heaving out of rage. She slapped away Adriana's hand and roaring, "It was my son who paid for her! Cut your bullshit!"

Adriana sneered. She refuted composedly, "We all know what was going on. You spent every penny he earned in the casino!"

After a deep breath, Adriana took out the check, "I don't wanna argue. Take the money to pay for the operation. Thanks for saving me. That's what I do as return. Now we are done!" Actually, she wanna enter to see her brother. However, Thelma badly disgusted her. So she turned around to leave.

From now on, they were strangers to each other.

A month later, before she headed to the villa, she found that her period was running too late. So she performed herself a pregnancy test, only surprised to learn that she was pregnant! "I am pregnant?" Adriana was stunned. She tried a few more times. But the result still remained the same.

When Ben came to pick her up, she told him about it.

After a check in the hospital, her pregnancy was confirmed.

This time, she was taken to another villa. As required, she wasn't allowed to access to any electronic device. So nobody knew where she was.

During the pregnancy, the man never showed up.

She was carefully tended by two servants. Her life was relaxing but boring.

She started to study law to kill time.

Meanwhile, she asked Ben to take her to the hospital to visit her brother, Jenkins.

The operation went on smoothly. Her brother was recovering well.

Adriana finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Nine months later, Adriana was struggling to deliver her baby in a private-owned hospital.

Ten hours had passed. The baby was still inside.

Her face went ghastly pale because of the tough delivery.

As stipulated in the contract, cesarean was not allowed.
