Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 440 Miracle baby

But Amy didn't look like she was ready to divulge that information just yet so she shook her head and said, "I'm getting there, hold on."

Edward rolled his eyes but motioned for her to continue.

"Well, earlier they had mentioned something about using me as bait so I wasn't worried about being killed.

And I wasn't, obviously," she pointed at herself as she said that, "But the killer did push me into the water so that it seemed like I had been."

She paused to catch her breath and to let the information she'd given so far sink in as well.

"Someone was waiting in the river," she continued, "so as I fell, he just pulled me till we got to the surrounding woods where a car was waiting.

I was injected with another tranquilliser before being tossed in the backseat. By the time I woke up, I was on a flight here."

Edward let out a breath. With each sentence she made, he got angrier at the people that had taken her.

"What happened when you reached here then?"

"I was introduced to the man that is about to become your biggest problem, Tai Pin."

From where Edward leaned forward with his hands rested on his knees, he sat up straight and looked at turned around to look at Amy fully.

"What?" He wasn't convinced he had heard clearly.

Amy nodded, "The head of the whole organisation that organised my abduction is a man named Tai Pin and I have been living with him for the past eight months."

Edward shook his head in disbelief, "No, no, that can't be. That's not right."

"I know it's hard to believe because he was best friends with your dad and..."

He took in a sharp breath, "He told you?"

"He told me a lot of things Edward which is why I can't be here. I know too much, I am a liability. If he finds out I'm missing it could mean something really bad."

"I'm not letting you go Amy, never."

Amy pursed her lips as she fought back the tears.

"Why didn't you call me? Why didn't you try to reach out to tell me you were alive?"

"Because he threated to kill everyone I knew and loved if I tried to contact anyone here." By now Amy's voice was thick from the tears that threatened to spill.

"He knew every name, Gu Zhou, Chynna, he called all of you. There was nothing I could do but let you believe that I was dead."

Edward digested this information silently. He said nothing to Amy as he thought about everything she had told him from the beginning.

"You know Jinn Yang?" Maybe Amy could finally answer the question that he'd been asking himself for a while now: how did the Yang's play into all of this?

"Tai's brother-in-law?"

Edward couldn't recall a time where he had ever been shocked like the way the bomb Amy had just dropped shocked him.

"What?"

"Tai Pin's wife, Song, is Jinn Yang's sister."

Edward shook his head; how did he not know that?

"Well, estranged. They just recently started communicating again."

"So Jinn and Tai are working together?"

"To take your place in the mafia."

Edward hissed.

"Have you made the call?"

Viktor nodded and replaced his phone back in his pocket. "They should be here in thirty minutes."

Edward nodded.

They were back at the hotel and had converged in Edward's room. They had just called for reinforcements from the mafia foot soldiers because things were about to go down differently.

When Edward had come to Shanghai, he had not expected a battle to come out of the trip. But after everything Amy had revealed to him, there was no way things were going to end without bloodshed.

Tai Pin was planning on overthrowing Edward and his mafia family so he could become the leader.

From what Any had to him, it seemed like something he had been planning for a really long time now and Edward was about to scatter everything.

"When I heard you had been sent an invite for the party, I tried to warn you not to come." That was why she had asked why him was in Shanghai when they first saw at the mall. He wasn't supposed to be there.

"I wrote an anonymous letter explaining some of these things, but it must not have gotten to you."

She had taken a risk by doing so but Amy had figured that if she stopped Edward from coming to Shanghai then Tai's plans would be stalled for a while.

"Even if I had gotten it, I still would have come," Edward cleared Amy on that, "No one plans to kill me and goes free."

He would have attacked Tai before he even got the chance to execute his own plans.

Then he had asked about the baby, the one thing he was most excited about at the moment.

"I found out I was almost two months pregnant a week after I got here," Amy revealed. She'd had mixed feelings about the whole thing initially.

Having a baby for the man she loved brought her great joy but she didn't want to bring a child into the world as someone's captive, which it would be if Tai's plans were successful.

Edward's eyes watered, "I can't believe you were going to have my child and not let me know."

Amy broke down in sobs at that point, "I didn't want to keep the baby away from you either, but Tai made threats. I'd rather have you ignorant than dead, Edward."

"Besides," she added, "Tai plans on using the baby as bait. His plan B if he can't kill you."

It was that part that had vexed him the most.

"The nerve of that guy," Edward said out to Viktor now. "A baby , my baby who isn't even here yet is already being thrown into the mix of the underworld."

When Viktor had heard the news which Edward had joyfully shared when he got back to the car, he'd been pleased for his boss. The baby was coming at a wrong time, but it was a welcome surprise.

"I can't believe we are going to have a child together," Edward had told Amy on their way back to the mall.

Their hands had been locked together and neither could look away from the other. "I just can't believe this."

Amy smiled.
