Just as I was lost in thought, my phone suddenly started ringing.
I glanced at the unfamiliar number on the screen.
Ever since my information had been leaked and then my phone got smashed during the kidnapping incident, I'd lost contact with many people, so lately I'd been receiving calls from unknown numbers often.
Thinking it might be a client, I answered without much thought.
"Hello?"
"Alicia… it's me."
The moment I heard the voice on the other end—
my expression froze completely.
Lilian.
A low chuckle came from the phone.
"Surprised?"
My grip around the phone tightened instantly.
"What do you want, Lilian?" I asked coldly.
"So even after everything, you still dare ask me that?" she mocked lightly.
Then her tone suddenly sharpened.
"I see you've become quite smug now that you're carrying Alexander's child."
My heart skipped violently.
How did she know about my pregnancy?
