**Chapter 91: Take You to the Hospital**<\/p>\n
Curtis\u2019s message appeared on Adriana\u2019s phone, clear and direct: \u201cUse the card I gave you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moments later, another notification chimed in, announcing a transfer of another 500 thousand into her bank account.<\/p>\n
He followed up with, \u201cFor places that don\u2019t accept cards, just use PayPal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s heart raced as she absorbed the implications of his generosity. A man like Curtis, with such wealth and willingness to share it, was hard not to be enchanted by.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis actually sent you money?\u201d Belinda\u2019s voice broke through her reverie, a hint of disbelief lacing her words as she glanced over, her eyes wide.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah\u2026 He wants me to take you shopping. Buy whatever you want,\u201d Adriana replied, a smile spreading across her face as she looked at her friend.<\/p>\n
Who wouldn\u2019t be thrilled by such a windfall? With a sugar daddy as generous as Curtis, Adriana felt the weight of her roles as both wife and aunt pressing upon her. She had to navigate this new territory with care.<\/p>\n
\u201cHmph, he was always generous to my mom, and he only gave you 500 thousand,\u201d Belinda remarked, her tone slightly haughty. \u201cBut my mom never accepted his money. Don\u2019t you think she\u2019s kinda foolish?\u201d<\/p>\n
A twinge of discomfort washed over Adriana. So, I accepted the money. Does that make me a gold digger?<\/p>\n
It made sense now why Curtis was so taken with Cynthia; she was unlike anyone else. Adriana couldn\u2019t deny it\u2014if someone offered her money, she would gladly accept it. After all, life had a way of making financial needs insatiable.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not saying taking money makes you a gold digger\u2026\u201d Belinda\u2019s voice softened as she caught on to the tension, her eyes darting around as if seeking an escape from the awkwardness.<\/p>\n
Adriana merely smiled, a light laugh escaping her lips.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re getting paid to do a job, right? So it\u2019s basically your salary,\u201d Belinda quickly added, trying to smooth over the moment.<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s smile widened, but she chose to remain silent, pondering the complexities of her situation.<\/p>\n
Perhaps in Curtis\u2019s eyes, I am just a gold digger. But for him, paying for services is far less complicated than dealing with emotional entanglements.<\/p>\n
As they wandered through the vibrant shopping district, Adriana was pleasantly surprised by Belinda\u2019s behavior. The little girl was surprisingly well-mannered, only asking for a drink and nothing more.<\/p>\n
By the time the afternoon sun began to dip, Adriana found her initial impressions of Belinda shifting.<\/p>\n
Belinda was certainly headstrong and a touch spoiled, but there was a kindness in her that was hard to ignore.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana\u2026\u201d Around 3 p.m., Belinda\u2019s voice trembled slightly, her eyes darting around the bustling mall as if searching for something amiss.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d Adriana asked, her concern piqued by Belinda\u2019s sudden anxiety.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomething feels off,\u201d Belinda replied, her unease growing palpable. \u201cDanielle asked me to take you shopping and to report back where you were.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana froze, a chill creeping down her spine.<\/p>\n
What is Danielle scheming this time?<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should get out of here,\u201d Belinda urged, her instincts kicking in as she tried to pull Adriana away.<\/p>\n
\u201cBelinda\u2026\u201d But it was too late. Danielle emerged from the crowd, flanked by Nicole and a few imposing bodyguards, effectively cornering them.<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s frown deepened as she surveyed the scene.<\/p>\n
This is a public mall. What exactly are Danielle and Nicole trying to achieve here?<\/p>\n
\u201cDanielle\u2026 w-what are you doing with all these people?\u201d Belinda\u2019s voice quivered with panic as she instinctively positioned herself in front of Adriana, a protective gesture that spoke volumes about her loyalty.<\/p>\n
\u201cBelinda, come here. Stay close to me so you don\u2019t get hurt,\u201d Danielle sneered at Adriana, her eyes glinting with malice.<\/p>\n
Adriana refused to be intimidated. Danielle\u2019s antics seemed foolish, especially in such a public space.<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Barton, this is a mall, a public area,\u201d Adriana reminded her, hoping to diffuse the tension before it escalated further.<\/p>\n
\u201cHeh\u2026\u201d Danielle let out a laugh that dripped with sarcasm. \u201cWhat? You planning to call the cops? Harold sent us. We\u2019re here to take you to the hospital to verify if you\u2019re really pregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n
Danielle exuded confidence, fully aware that even if Adriana resisted, it wouldn\u2019t matter. The weight of Harold\u2019s influence loomed large, a shadow that Adriana couldn\u2019t escape.<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s heart raced. Harold suspects me? He thinks I\u2019m lying about being pregnant\u2026<\/p>\n
But Curtis and I have barely begun our relationship. There\u2019s no way I could be pregnant. If I go to the hospital now, it\u2019ll ruin everything.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t go.<\/p>\n
\u201cHarold can call Curtis himself. There\u2019s absolutely no reason for you to bring all these people to force me to the hospital,\u201d Adriana asserted, pulling out her phone in a desperate bid to call Curtis.<\/p>\n
Danielle shot her a warning glance, and before Adriana could react, a bodyguard snatched her phone away.<\/p>\n
Adriana glared at Danielle, fury bubbling within her. \u201cWhat you\u2019re doing is illegal!\u201d<\/p>\n
Danielle merely chuckled, her confidence unwavering. \u201cAdriana, don\u2019t be naive. Are you really going to drag Harold into this and risk getting him in trouble?\u201d<\/p>\n
Taking a deep breath, Adriana felt the weight of Danielle\u2019s manipulation. She knew that bringing up Harold was a tactic, designed to keep her from reporting him.<\/p>\n
\u201cDanielle, what exactly are you doing?\u201d Belinda interjected, her shock evident. She hadn\u2019t anticipated Danielle\u2019s drastic behavior.<\/p>\n
\u201cBelinda, stay out of this. Harold instructed me to do it. He\u2019s worried Adriana might lie and try to cling to Curtis,\u201d Danielle replied, attempting to pacify her.<\/p>\n
\u201cTake her away!\u201d Danielle ordered the bodyguards with a wave of her hand.<\/p>\n
Nicole shot Adriana a contemptuous glare, her voice dripping with disdain. \u201cIf you\u2019re not really pregnant, Curtis will definitely divorce you. Let\u2019s see how confident you are then.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019d better not touch me,\u201d Adriana\u2019s voice rose, her anger igniting as she took a step back. \u201cYou\u2019re illegally detaining me. Do you really want to go to jail?\u201d<\/p>\n
The bodyguards ignored her protests, their grip firm as they began to push her away.<\/p>\n
Belinda watched, her heart racing with anxiety and guilt. She remained hidden, her fingers trembling as she pulled out her phone to message Curtis, hoping he would come to their rescue.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the confrontation escalated, Adriana felt the weight of her choices bearing down on her. The implications of Curtis\u2019s generosity now felt tainted by the looming threat of Harold and Danielle, who sought to undermine her newfound sense of agency. In that moment, she realized that accepting help had come with its own set of complications, and the line between gratitude and vulnerability had blurred. The fear of being dragged into a web of deceit and manipulation was suffocating, yet it ignited a fire within her. She refused to let her circumstances define her; she would not be a pawn in someone else\u2019s game. With Belinda\u2019s loyalty by her side, Adriana steeled herself against the encroaching darkness, determined to reclaim her narrative.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the face of adversity, Adriana\u2019s resolve crystallized. The chaotic scene around her transformed from a source of dread to a catalyst for empowerment. She understood now that her relationship with Curtis, while generous, could not shield her from the realities of her life. The battle was not just for her freedom, but for her dignity and self-worth. With Belinda\u2019s unwavering support, she felt a surge of courage, ready to confront the forces that sought to control her. As they stood together against the tide of manipulation, Adriana embraced the strength that comes from standing up for oneself, knowing that, no matter the outcome, she would emerge with her spirit intact.<\/p>\n
