I did what Tzuyu suggested.

I think I deserve an Oscar for the act.

I pretended to let me wall down, gave a subtle smile when he was sharing funny moments occurred during his work at dinner time, instead of a nod. I sometimes even started a conversation topic about our baby. He noticed my differences. "You are gorgeous when you smile." He pointed out as I was smiling at his sarcastic joke again. "Thank you." I smiled at him. This is the first time I saw him giving me a real smile instead of a smirk. It's a good progress.

As time went by, our discussions of our laboratory slowly shift to his vision and mission of his expansion of his own companies. He sometimes even complained his father's style of administration; he always think he's the best among his siblings. I also discovered that he hated the Imperial House — from his point of view — they always took credit of his family's strategies of making the country better.

I'm a good listener; he spilled out all his hatred and jealousy of people who he couldn't control. Conceited, arrogant and ambitious were his weakness. All I need to do is just being quiet and powerless so that he felt like he's in control.

It's very clear to me that he wanna have something more from me although he didn't say it but he always lingered outside my door after I bid him goodnight. Luckily, he was on his abstinence period so he couldn't assault me. I always make sure I locked the door before sleep. That's not way I'm touching by this wicked criminal.

To take a break from the acting, I'll always went to Tzuyu's house during the weekends to recharge myself. I'll explain my situation to her then she'll give me a few recommendations. Sometimes, jealousy will taking over her which will end up to us having sex. I ain't complain though, I love her caring, her selflessness, her considerate, her personality, her face, her body: I love everything about her.

"I really love you, Tzuyu," I said from the bottom of my heart.
"Me too. I love myself too," Tzuyu jokingly said. I laughed then kissed her lips. "I love yo...." Her words were drowned by my kisses. I'll never get enough of these lips, it's so kissable and soft.

Besides, the pills were really affecting me, with the fluctuation of hormones, plus her sexy body. She turned me on so much, I can't control myself around her.

=============================

Happy and sweet moments always went by so quickly, it's time to go home again. I needed to fake myself again. He was at the living room when I came home. He was happy to see me back home. The butler came out from nowhere holding a bouquet and a fancy box. "Mina, I booked a restaurant for us. We're going to celebrate for our future." The butler then opened the box up: it's a diamond necklace. "Tomorrow we're taking a big step of having a baby. You're my wife and you deserve it." He took out the necklace and put it around my neck. I try so hard not to flinch when he kissed my neck. I was disgusted internally.

He was really excited to have a baby but I'm not.

As for our plan, Tzuyu and I, decided to carry out the in vitro fertilization at Osaka Hospital so we would have better access in case of Plan B. Initially, he wanna do it at another hospital he sponsored, but as I gained his trust and promote my hospital while giving him facts about in vitro fertilization, he agreed to do the egg retrieval at my hospital.

=============================

Prince Yuta followed me into the Baby Center and registered at the counter. We're separated into different rooms. I was surprised to see Tzuyu was inside with another doctor because she's not under this department, and why the doctor allowed her being here. She gave me a wink secretly as I lying down; she's always full of surprise but I knew I could trust her.

As I expected, the retrieval was uncomfortable. Tzuyu was holding onto my hand the whole time. I'm so glad she was here.

Lucky him, man only needs to enjoy themselves then ejaculate to get the specimen.

On our way back home, I lied to him that I'm pregnant now. Due to his lack of knowledge about in vitro fertilization, I mislead him thinking they put the specimen in my uterus but actually the doctors still need to observe the sperms activities then select the best and injects into the center of the egg. The whole process will be carry out at laboratory. This is the only way to prevent him from wanting to have sex with me because he will do anything to make sure having a perfect baby boy.

He treated me like a prisoner ever since to make sure I'm in good condition. I was restricted to go out by myself with his guard following close behind me. He also want to hire someone to take care of my diet and exercises best for the baby, but I assured him, as a doctor, I could take care of myself. He eventually let go of fully control my life except the guard. Now, seeing Tzuyu will be extremely hard.

I asked them to not follow me while I was working so my patients won't be intimidated by them. I could only have lunch time with my Tzuyu and discussed about my current situation, we couldn't see each other on every weekends because I don't wanna let him have any new photos to threaten me again. Besides, all my prior acts will be wasted.

Sometimes to win the war you've got to lose a battle.

I choose to stay at our house to build relationships and trust with him. He has completely trust me since I'm having his 'baby'. He ain't holding anymore secrets.

He told me his real motive for investing my father's dream. He wanna plant a deadly virus among the Imperial House and the only solution is my father's vaccine which is under our ownership. Our marriage is a synergy and the only way to ensure both families are on the same line. The Imperial House will be willing to exchange their authority with their health.

All come clear to me.

He had been paying attention to my family's contribution and great discovery since the beginning. He created panic and kidnapped me so he could pretend to use his manpower to rescue me. Thus, he will become our family's hero then marry me to carry out his plan.

But, he didn't expected Tzuyu will had a huge impact in his initial plan. Hence, he created difficulty for my father initiating his goal while making his way to earn father's trust by giving him a lift. However, he was not a good charmer, maybe he was never the one who chase after someone else, he's being used to surrounded by people who value his net worth and status.

If he didn't caught me in act and blackmailed me, his plot won't carry out till this far.
