A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Chapter 9 - A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

'D*mn, it's up to his chubby body to save him now. I'm not even sure if he'd survive this, to be honest...'

A few minutes later, an alarmingly loud scream could be heard from the back of the park.

"Ahhh! No! Please, I beg of you! Have mercy!

However, those screams were not of Flossie's, but instead Bradley's.

"Wh...What happened?" The underlings exchanged looks of unease.

Five minutes later, Flossie returned without a scratch on her. She cracked her neck and her face remained expressionless as if nothing had happened. Not even a single strand of her hair was out of place.

"Have you dealt with him?" Leia asked.

"Mm-hmm, it's been years since I did this, so I'm a little rusty. It took me two extra seconds to finish him."

"Don't be so humble, Flossie. You may have used an extra two seconds, but it sounds like you got ten times stronger! That guy screamed like he saw an actual ghost! Is he even alive?"

"He's probably still breathing, at least," Flossie said coldly as she turned to the underlings. "If you wish to see your boss live, get him to a hospital right now."

Although the underlings had no clue, they could tell that something was off after hearing their boss' wailing. Hence, all of them rushed off, visibly worried and afraid.

Leia, on the other hand, wasn't surprised at all. When both she and Liam were kidnapped back then, Flossie was the one who took on ten kidnappers alone and saved the twins before they were killed.

They saw firsthand just how agile Flossie was. That was when they realized the power that lurked beneath her gentle facade.

While they were astonished in the beginning, they slowly grew accustomed to it. Now... They were simply numb to the sight of her bloodshed.

Their boss was the late General Ellsworth's only granddaughter after all. It'd be ridiculous if she was a helpless damsel.

It was a shame that the Guajardos had overlooked Flossie's unique abilities.

'Were they blind or something?' Leia wondered.

"Flossie, I was worried that you'd get taken advantage of after getting married. For the longest time, you were acting as a meek little wife. It was so good that I thought you'd actually become one..."

"Looks like I was just being a worrywart. No one could possibly take advantage of you, because you're literally on the top of the food chain! I feel much relieved now!"

Leia then clinked her glass against Flossie's, adding. "Whatever here's to freedom!"

Flossie giggled softly. "To freedom!"

'That's right. I'll no longer have any ties to the Guajardo family from now on. I won't have to act like a dignified young mistress, nor do I have to wonder what type of girl Halston Guajardo likes.' She thought.

'From now on... I'll live for myself! Freedom tastes amazing!'

The next day, Flossie arrived early at the private clinic for her appointment.

Not only did this clinic have an excellent reputation, but it also kept every patient's information absolutely confidential. No one else in this entire world would ever find out that she was pregnant, let alone the fact that she would get an abortion.

It would be as if the fetus in her belly never existed at all!

As the time for surgery drew nearer, Flossie felt her heart thumping against her ribcage. Anxiety was painted all over her tense, gorgeous face.

'You can do this, Flossie. This is just one small step. Once the abortion is done, your life will get back on track!' She thought in an attempt to cheer herself up.

"Flossie Ellsworth," the nurse called out from the office.

"Coming," said Flossie before taking a deep breath.

"I've looked over your report, and there appear to be no contraindications. If you wish to proceed, we can start operating now." The doctor's face was stone-cold as she flipped over the pages."

Are you sure about this operation?" she asked.

"I'm sure."

"Alright, you may follow the nurse to the changing room. Once you're done, I need you to lay down on the operation table..."

A moment later, Flossie heard the doctor sigh softly. "Ah, what a shame. Have you looked at the report yourself? Do you know how special your pregnancy is?"

"What do you mean?"

Flossie was confused.

"According to your HCG levels, it seems that you're carrying twins. And it's very likely a baby boy and girl..."

The doctor sounded full of pity. "Forget about regular twins, do you know how low are the chances of conceiving fraternal twins? It's a miracle that they were conceived in the first place. Are you really sure you want to abort them?"

"F... Fraternal twins?" Flossie felt another wave of mixed emotions rising within her chest as she looked at the report.

"Besides that, due to your physical condition, you aren't one to get pregnant easily. Should you proceed with the surgery, it'd be pretty difficult to conceive a second time. I'd advise you to think it over once more."

After that, the doctor adjusted her mask and turned to the door. "Next patient, please."

A nurse approached Flossie and said, "If you have made up your mind, please follow me to the changing room."

Sometime later, the red light in front of the surgery room was switched on. Flossie walked over to the operating table with an expressionless face, wearing a surgery gown...

–

The night was freezing cold, as Flossie headed to the very same restaurant from yesterday after her trip to the clinic.

She was in distress and wanted to drink her frustrations away. Despite that, she still ended up ordering a glass of warm water, along with a chicken salad.

In the end, she decided against the procedure. She was already conflicted knowing that she'd be ending a life before it even started. The fact that there were two meant she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Hence, before the doctor could insert the surgical tools inside her, the woman hopped off the table and bolted out the door.

"My silly babies, out of all the couples in this world, why did you choose us as your parents?"

"Here's to your new lives then, a life without fatherly love."

Flossie decided to give birth to the twins in secret. She wasn't afraid of the pain, she was merely feeling sad for her children.

With water in place of alcohol, she downed the entire shot as a toast to her children.

Just then, a group of men appeared out of nowhere, dashing toward Flossie with malicious intent.
