Intrigued by the CEO: Paranoid Obsessions

Blaze’s angry shout reverberated through the phone. Even through the phone, Harper could imagine his fierce expression.

“I’m not running away. I just went home,” Harper tried to keep her voice calm and composed.

“If you don’t show up in front of me within ten minutes, you’ll regret it!”

“I…”

Before Harper could finish her sentence, the call was abruptly cut off. She stared at her phone in disbelief.

Harper hurriedly got out of bed, preparing to leave. She needed to go to the hospital, to get a check-up and obtain proof that she had never been pregnant. She needed to draw a clear line with Blaze as soon as possible, or else this paranoid man would surely drive her crazy.

‘Today would be a fresh start.’

Harper silently encouraged herself and then took the bus to the hospital. Instead of immediately going to Blaze, she went to the gynecology department to register.

The waiting area of the gynecology department was crowded with patients sitting in the chairs.

A TV screen in the front was playing a TV series, starring her sister – Fiona.

Excited discussions among Fiona’s fans filled echoed around. They were praising Fiona’s acting skills and beauty.

Fiona was indeed beautiful.

Harper looked at the familiar face on the screen. Harper wasn’t ugly. In terms of facial features, she might even be on par with Fiona. But she lacked the sparkle in Fiona’s eyes and her charming personality.

‘Fiona was radiant and outgoing. Who wouldn’t like her? How could Logan not like her? Before, he just couldn’t see her. Unfortunately, I didn’t understand this back then. I thought that as long as Logan regained his memories, he would still be mine. I was really foolish… So naive.’ Harper sighed.

“Miss Shaw, could you come with me for a moment?” a voice suddenly sounded beside her.

Harper turned her head and saw a familiar face, someone she knew, Fiona’s manager.

‘Fiona was also at the hospital?’ Harper was taken aback and stood up to follow the manager.

The manager led her to the depths of the gynecology department corridor, stopping in front of a door at the end. “Miss Fiona is waiting for you inside. She wants to see you.”

Waiting for her, here?

Harper pushed open the door and entered.

In the spacious office, a slender figure stood with her back to Harper, facing the window. Fiona wore a Chanel dress, her brown hair cascading down her back, and a sweet fragrance lingered in the air.

“Fiona, what are you doing here?”

The relationship between the sisters had always been neither good nor bad, just indifferent.

Yes, indifferent.

They lacked communication since childhood, unlike other sisters who were close to each other.

“I’m pregnant, it’s Logan’s.” Fiona suddenly turned around from the window, her face under the sunglasses was delicately made up, holding a medical report in her hand.

Harper was not very surprised at the news.

Given how sweet Fiona and Logan were, getting pregnant… it was only a matter of time.

“You look pale,” Fiona took off her sunglasses, her eyes gazing at Harper. “Harper, all these years, I haven’t blamed you, have I? Can you let go now?”

With these words, Fiona reached out to caress her flat abdomen.

There, Logan’s baby was growing.

“Sure. Congratulation!” Harper had already let go. She had already told Logan about it. It seemed he hadn’t told Fiona yet.

Fiona stood there, looking at her in surprise, very unexpected.

Harper knew what she was thinking. After years of clinging to Logan, suddenly giving up was bound to be surprising.

“Well, take care of yourself. If you need any help, let me know. I’m gonna head out,” Harper said, turning to leave.

But in her mind, she saw images of Logan holding her hand when they were teenagers.

Time took everything away and changed everything.

Fiona’s voice suddenly sounded behind her, “I’ve tolerated you for so many years, but I’ve had enough. I love Logan, and if you try to interfere again, don’t blame me to do something…”

It seemed like the first time Fiona had said such harsh words to her.

Harper turned around, “I won’t, I won’t interfere anymore, you can trust me.”

After saying that, Harper tried to leave.

But Fiona spoke again, “Harper, why pretend in front of me? I know you better than anyone.”

Harper stood still, not moving.

Fiona tossed her sunglasses aside and walked step by step towards her, “Dad and mom always said you were well-behaved, I don’t understand how you became someone who tries to steal her sister’s boyfriend. Only I know, you’ve always been pretending to be innocent. You’ve always wanted to possess everything, it’s not a sudden change in character.”

“What do you mean?” Harper asked.

“My parents adopted you because they couldn’t have children before. But as soon as you came into our family, I was born shortly after. My parents gave me more love, and you tried so hard to act good to win their love. But it didn’t work, I’m the biological one,” Fiona said, “Do you think I don’t know? Every time Mom held me, you gave me the most malicious look…”

Harper looked at her in astonishment. She had been jealous of her parents’ love for her sister when she was little, but she never thought that Fiona would see her as a malicious woman.

“And then, when Logan came into our lives, you took care of him willingly. Do you think I don’t know what your intentions were?” Fiona sneered.

“You don’t care about Logan, you just want to possess someone. You want someone to be yours, to keep you company, you just don’t want to be alone!” Fiona continued, “I’ve read your diary.”

Harper couldn’t deny the truth about Logan. Who would like a silent blind boy when they were young? But she was so lonely, everyone adored Fiona, and she desperately needed warmth. That’s when Logan appeared. She took care of him, she pleased him, making herself the most important person to him. She thought that way, she wouldn’t be lonely anymore. But in the end, she was still abandoned.

“It’s a pity, isn’t it? After Logan’s surgery, he completely forgot about you. He regained his sight, and he also regained the normal standards of beauty. He fell in love with me…” Fiona continued, with a hint of pride in her voice.

‘Because my initial intentions weren’t so pure, was this my punishment? I deserved to be forgotten?’ Harper couldn’t bear to listen anymore, “Have you said enough?”

Fiona suddenly grabbed her wrist from behind, “Logan is mine,” Fiona emphasized.

Harper shook off her hand and calmly remarked, “You don’t need to keep emphasizing that. It just shows your lack of confidence, as if you’re not sure you can hold on to Logan.”

“You…” Fiona frowned, unable to come up with a retort. That was what she hated about Harper. She didn’t speak much, but when she did, she always hit the mark, hurting people deeply.

“I’m marrying Logan at the end of this month. As my sister, you should attend. I don’t want the media to say our family is not harmonious,” Fiona said with a smile, her face particularly striking and glamorous.

Harper remained silent and walked away without a word.

Pregnant. Getting married. How wonderful.

Harper walked forward without looking back. She wouldn’t show any signs of weakness. She said to herself, ‘It’s okay. I wasn’t as needy for companionship as I was a child. No matter how lonely and desolate the road ahead, I could walk it alone. Child? Wouldn’t it be nice if, like Blaze said, I did have a child, then wouldn’t I be so lonely…’

Harper returned to the gynecology department and continued to wait quietly.

When the nurse called her name, her phone suddenly rang.

“Harper, do you dare to ignore my words? Where are you?” Blaze’s voice was annoyed.

“I’m at the hospital.”

“Then why aren’t you here yet? You have 30 seconds.” Blaze’s roar was almost ear-splitting.

“I’m afraid that’s not possible.” Harper glanced at the nurse calling her name and said, “I’m undergoing tests. Mr. Wychwood, once I prove that I’ve never been pregnant, I hope you won’t disturb my life anymore.”

She couldn’t afford to offend someone like Blaze, she just wanted to stay far away from him.

“What? You’re…”

“Goodbye.” The nurse kept urging her. Harper didn’t say anything else, she just hung up the phone.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
