Chapter 177 - Have You No Shame?

Amelia's beautiful eyes glint when she heard Ren's words to Doctor Lehmann. 

"Oh .. no wonder, Madame passed out. Usually, if a woman is pregnant, stress can trigger something like this," commented Doctor Henry Lehmann. "If I may ask, how many weeks is she in?"

Ren frowned. He did a quick calculation in his head, and he gave the number, "11 or 12 weeks."

"Ah .. that's right. The first trimester is usually the most difficult part of the pregnancy for first-time mothers. All right, Your Highness. I will prescribe some vitamins that are safe for pregnant women."

"I'll be right back. Please don't go anywhere until I return. Take good care of her," Ren ordered before getting out of bed and walking out of the pavilion.

Amelia, who finally came to her senses, hurriedly picked up her steps and walked quickly to chase Ren.

"Ren ... How did that happen?" asked the girl with a hurt expression. "You said there would be no children. Did you lie to me and actually fall in love with her?"

"Watch your words, Amelia." Ren glared at Amelia.

Usually, the girl would back off and give in when she saw Ren's face turn sour like this. But now, her patience was running thin. She looked back at Ren with a defiant expression.

"Why should I watch my word? I've been patient enough all this time. But you broke our agreement. You got her pregnant!"

"It was my fault, okay? I didn't mean it. I really don't want her to get pregnant, do you understand?" said Ren in frustration. "But it happens."

"Don't tell me you've fallen in love with her ?!" Amelia was very unhappy.

"Amelia, I can't fall in love, you know that." Ren finally lost his temper. He halted his steps and grabbed the girl's wrist and pressed it hard. "I don't like being accused as a liar."

"Aww .... let go of my arm. It hurts!!" Amelia struggled to pull her arm out of Ren's grip, but to no avail. Her wrist turned red. "You are so mean to me ..."

"I am mean to you and to everyone. I am the devil reincarnate himself. You know that from the start, but you still insisted on being with me. Don't you have yourself to blame?" asked Ren mockingly.

"I know you're not a bad person.. but ..." Amelia couldn't hold back her feelings anymore. She finally burst into tears. The sound of her crying was poignant, making the staff and bodyguards around them tilt their heads, wanting to know what happened.

"I'm really a bad person, Amelia. You better move on and forget your feelings for me. I'll only make you suffer more." Ren finally released his grip from Amelia's arm and walked quickly back to the hall where the royal gala was being held.

He didn't turn around at all. He had to make an immediate public appearance, give his speech, then fake a headache, and leave the gala early. He must take care of Fae and make sure he was by her side when she woke up.

Amelia froze in her place when she saw Ren walking away from her without looking back. Her tears flowed even more profusely. She had been waiting for Ren for more than a dozen years, ever since they were little.

She was always there for that man. She did so much for him. She endured so many feelings of hurt and jealousy after Ren married Fae for his revenge ... all for his big goals. Amelia was always supportive.

But why did Ren make such a mistake and get Fae pregnant? Wouldn't this ruin all his plans?

Did Ren lie about him being aromantic? Had he actually fallen in love with his wife?

Amelia clenched her hands into fists and her body slowly tremble. He felt very angry, hurt, and devastated at the same time.

She turned around and walked back to the pavilion where Fae was being treated. Her face flushed red from anger.

Her eyes glint dangerously. Slowly her hand lifted the small handbag that was hanging from her shoulder and opened it.

Everything felt like a movie played in slow motion. Amelia's left hand went into her handbag and took out a small gun that she always carried around for protection.

She was very good at shooting, but she had never actually used her gun outside the shooting range.

This time she would use it. Not to protect herself.

But to protect Ren from getting trapped in a marriage he didn't want. If Fae gave birth to his child, she and Ren would forever be bound as a family.

Amelia couldn't let that happen.

Doctor Lehmann looked up when he heard the door open and saw Amelia enter.

"Ah .. Lady Amelia. Madame has regained consciousness." The smile on his face vanished when he realized Amelia had pulled out a small gun from her bag and prepared to aim at him. Doctor Henry reflexively dropped to the floor and shouted. "Lady Ameliaaa .. nooo !!!"

Fae gripped her throbbing head with her hands. She felt a massive headache. The girl fluttered her lashes before opening her eyes to look around and see her surroundings. Doctor Lehmann's scream to her right startled her and she immediately regained consciousness.

Fae turned to the right to see who just entered the room. Suddenly, her expression was filled with horror.

"A ... Amelia, what are you doing?" Fae asked in a panicked voice. She could see Amelia's unusual expression.

She could see rage and bitter hatred on Amelia Genevieve's face. It was surreal how such a beautiful woman could look so terrifying.

"How dare you ... conceive the child of the Moravian crown prince!" Amelia hissed. Her voice was filled with hatred and frustration. "You must be scheming him with your pregnancy so he won't leave you. You know that he will never love you, and you are trying so hard to make him love you…!!!"

Fae raised her hands, trying to calm Amelia down. She was terrified, but she was trying hard to regain her composure. Fae didn't want to provoke Amelia. She must be able to buy time until someone could come and arrest the madwoman.

"I know he doesn't love me, Amelia ... I know that .. I know he will never love me because he can't fall in love ..." Fae said slowly. "That's why I left, and I've never looked back..."

"You're lying! If you really want to go from him, why do you always appear everywhere? You even purposely came to the royal gala and dolled up to look so beautiful. Why else would you do that, if not to try to seduce him back?" screamed Amelia. "Have you no shame??"

Fae swallowed hard. "Amelia ... I'm sorry for coming to this event. I was invited by my boss from RMI. I have absolutely no intention of seducing Ren. He and I have even talked about our divorce. You can have him now. I will go and will disappear from his life forever. Please .. Let me go."

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Amelia narrowed her eyes, looking so hateful. "If you give birth to his child, then Ren will never be able to leave you as planned. You are such a shameless woman!"

"Amelia .. please, don't ..." Fae tried to get up from the bed, even though her body still felt so weak. She raised her hands, trying to calm Amelia down. "Please .. I'll go and you'll never see me again ... Please…"

Her voice turned into a pleading whisper. Fae's face immediately filled with great fear when she saw Amelia brandishing the gun and pointing it at her stomach.

"Shameless woman!" Amelia screamed, as she pulled the trigger and fired the gun twice.
