Rejected, And Became A Heiress (Cara)

"That's the autidote. There's a shower just behind this door. Go scrub yourself, especially your hands or anywhere you that yellow powder. It couldn't have been on you for long, but this antidote soap will help just in case."

I do as she instructs, and the whole time I'm in the shower, my thoughts race with how I could have gotten powder on my hands

I was at the office when Alaric exiled George... George would probably be happy to sabotage me in any way he can, but he didn't touch me at all.

Hmm I hadn't seen Lilia all day, so it can't be her.

I'm fairly certain Alaric wouldn't do that, since he knows better than anyone that we haven't had sex in a long time...

The only other person who I remember touching me is.. Richard.

We shook hands after he introduced himself.

But why would some random new doctor want to put anti-fertility powder on me?

1 hear Ruby's knock on the door, "I have these medical certificates for you when you are finished in there."

I get out of the shower and get dressed quickly. She told me she would make two copies of the certificates: one real and one fake. I'd been using the last fake certificate she made for me to get out of having sex with Alaric for the last few weeks. "Thank you again so much, Honey," I tell her as I hug her at the hospital entrance.

"It's no trouble at all, Sweetheart. I hope this helps!" Ruby says with a smile as she extends her arm to hand me the certificates.

"I'll take that!" Alaric appears, seemingly out of thin air to grab the medical certificate in Ruby's outstretched arm. He grabs the one on top, leaving the other one in her hand.

When he sees our stunned faces, Alaric adds, "What? I stayed behind to make sure my Beta is okay."

Please, please, I hope he took the fake one!

If he finds out about this pregnancy, I'm doomed.

Not just me, but my baby is doomed.

Please, no...!

Ruby looks at me with a heart stopping expression on her face.

Oh shit!" She whispers so softly that only I can hear her, He took the real one..."
