Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

At this hour, it was usually Emily or Eric who cby. Paul sighed helplessly and said, "Kim, when the kids aren't around, there's something I want to talk to you about." Kimberly didn't answer, but her heart pounded wildly. Paul returned to the bed.

"Cin." The person who entered wasn't Eric or Emily. Instead, it was a woman Paul least wanted to see-Alison.

She walked in carrying a food box, and Paul's brows furrowed tightly. "What are you doing here?" Over the years, Paul had done many things that let Kimberly down, but he had no affection for the women he fooled around with. To him, they were merely a distraction- a way to release stress. They wanted money or gifts, while he sought temporary relief. It was a mutual exchange, nothing more.

But now, Paul had made up his mind. Whether or not his marriage with Kimberly ended, he was determined to treat her well and make up for his past mistakes.

However, Alison was a reminder of a different time. She still held grudges over what Kimberly had done to her back then-a feud that remained unresolved.

Kimberly also noticed Alison's arrival. The affair between Paul and Alison had once becthe talk of the town, forcing Kimberly to storm into the company in a fit of anger, unknowingly planting the seeds of future trouble.

This world is fair-whatever wrongs you commit will eventually catch up to you; it's only a matter of time. "I... I just cto see you," Alison said as she approached Paul.

"No need. There's nothing between us anymore," Paul replied coldly. It wasn't just because Kimberly was present-he truly meant it.

Paul had genuinely repented. Regardless of whether Kimberly forgave him, he would never hurt her again. Smistakes had already been made, and spain was inevitable.

"I'm pregnant." Those three words hit like a thunderclap. On the bed, Kimberly's face turned pale, and her hands gripped the corner of the blanket tightly, though she made no sound.

Even though she had told herself to let go of Paul, how could she so easily give up on someone she had loved for so long? Especially when Paul had just spoken words that reignited a spark of hope in her heart.

But Alison's declaration was like a bucket of cold water, dousing that tiny flcompletely. "That's impossible!" Paul exclaimed.

Over the years, Paul had been reckless in his affairs, but after the incident with Genevieve, he'd becmuch more cautious. He always took precautions, even with Alison. There'd never been a problem before. How could this happen now? "Maybe the condom broke, or something else happened. The point is, I'm pregnant, and the child is yours. If you don't believe me, we can do a paternity test after the baby is born.

I know you've cut ties with the Blake family, but you used to loveso much. Why don't we get back together and give the child a home?" Alison said softly, sitting beside him.

Though her words were directed at Paul, every sentence felt like a dagger aimed at Kimberly.

Alison pretended to focus on Paul, but she was secretly watching Kimberly's reaction out of the corner of her eye. Seeing Kimberly's pained expression filled her with a twisted sense of joy.

She had waited so long for this moment. Back then, both Paul and Kimberly had humiliated her publicly, calling her vile names. Since they thought she was despicable, she decided to embrace it-to show them just how far she was willing to go.

"It's not possible!" Paul said coldly. He had never loved Alison-not in the past, and not now.

"Why not? You're divorced now, and you're all alone. Don't you need someone by your side?" "Alison, we both know why you got involved within the first place. Letbe clear: if you're hoping to use this child to gain something, you're wasting your time.

I've already signed the divorce agreement. My two properties will go to Zach and Ivy, and I'm walking away with nothing. I'm no longer the vice president of Montgomery Group, nor do I have any money to give you.

And after the car accident, I'm not even the man I used to be..." "I don't care if you have money or not. I only know that you're the father of my child. If your health isn't good, you can stay hand rest-I'll go out and work.

I have ssavings. It's not much, but it's enough for us to get by. I don't mind that you're older than me. Even if I have to take care of you in the future, I'm willing to do it." Alison's sudden shift in attitude-from materialistic and seductive to selfless and devoted-left Paul speechless.

"You..." "I know I was with you for money in the past, but that's not the case anymore. I've realized that I love you, Paul. I want to marry you," Alison said, her voice filled with pleading.

Each word she spoke felt like a stab to Kimberly's heart.

Alison was a woman, and she knew exactly where a woman's weaknesses lay. Sometimes, it wasn't the sharp blade that hurt most, but the soft, insidious cuts that bled you dry.

Kimberly had grown up in a wealthy family and deeply loved Paul. If she didn't love him, she would've left him long ago.

Over the years, had she really been oblivious to Paul's affairs? A woman's intuition is sharp, and Alison was certain Kimberly had known all along.

When Alison and Paul's affair becpublic knowledge, Kimberly had stormed into the company in a rage. If it hadn't been for love, she would've filed for divorce on the spot.

The deeper Kimberly's love for Paul, the more Alison's words now hurt her.

Although Aurora had advised Alison to let go of the past and move on, Alison could never forget what happened at the company. She was determined to get revenge, no matter the cost.

From Genevieve to Kimberly, Alison had meticulously planned every step. Now, after all this time, it was finally tto close the net.

Paul and Alison's relationship had never been long or deep. She had always been a shallow materialistic woman. Her sudden claims of selflessness and love were impossible to believe. "I won't give you a home. Get rid of the child," Paul said firmly.

"This is your child. Can you really be so heartless?" Alison retorted.

In reality, the child wasn't what Alison cared about. The baby was merely a bargaining chip-a weapon to exact her revenge on Kimberly.

"I don't know how this child cto be, nor do I care about your motives. All I know is that there's nothing between us anymore." "Fine. If you don't want this child, I'll raise it myself," Alison said before storming out, leaving the food box behind.

After she left, the room fell into a heavy silence.

Paul finally spoke. "Kim, I..."

"There's nothing more to say. We've already agreed to divorce. divorce. As soon as I'm discharged, we'll finalize the paperwork. Go pursue your happiness-I won't stand in your way." Kimberly's lips were already red from biting them too hard.

"Kim, I know I've made mistakes in the past, but now I..." "Paul, you've already let so many people down. Are you really going to let her down too? She's carrying your child!" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
