Obsession: One and Only

"Loretta, someone is looking for you outside."

A voice suddenly echoed in the quiet classroom. Loretta Ji frowned at the door before walking out.

The moment she stepped out of the doorway, she stopped dead in her tracks, noticing the woman, who also seemed to have noticed her.

The woman was beautiful and fashionably dressed in a summer dress from Chanel's latest catalogue. Loretta instantly noticed her curves.

They seemed to size each other up. The woman raised her chin arrogantly as she looked Loretta up and down.

"Ms. Ji, I'm pregnant with Adrien's child." The woman walked closer as she spoke, her expression smug and triumphant.

A mocking smile crept up on Loretta's face.

This wasn't something new. There was always an endless stream of people coming to say these exact same things to her every couple of days.

They came to her suburban villa with Adrien Li and Li family's villa.

Even if she was minding her own business, shopping with her best friend Barbara Chi, Adrien's mistresses would appear in a constant stream before her.

But now, Loretta was surprised to see that one of them even popped up at her school.

Adrien really had a lot of woman around him.

"Are you done?" Loretta said drily, an embodiment of calm as she looked at the woman.

The woman seemed stunned. She hadn't expected Loretta to react like this and felt anger and shame bubbling up inside her.

She raised her right hand and waved it before Loretta's face, causing the ring sitting on her ring finger to glint in the light. Pride laced her tone as she said, "Adrien gave me this ring. You've been married for two years. But I'm sure Adrien has never given you a ring. Am I right?"

Contempt marred the woman's face, which filled Loretta with angry.

As she silently seethed, looking at the ring dazzling on the woman's finger, Loretta couldn't help but think of the invoice for the customized ring that she had found in Adrien's suit jacket this morning. This ring that the woman was wearing was in the style that was mentioned in the invoice.

What was more, it was worth 3.5 million dollars.

Adrien was generous to his mistresses.

But Loretta merely smiled, looked at the woman, and said, "Adrien likes giving others things I don't want anymore. It's just a ring. If you'd like, I can ask him to get you a set of matching jewelry."

The woman turned livid, irritated by Loretta's smile. But she wasn't about to give up. She raised her voice a notch as she said, "Loretta Ji, don't be so arrogant! When I give birth to the baby, even the position of Mrs. Li will be mine!"

Loretta looked down at the woman's belly. With a smile, she said, "Come to me with the paternity test result after the baby is born!"

She then turned to leave.

But Loretta had barely taken a few steps when something occurred to her. She stopped and turned around.

She ignored the glares that the woman was throwing her way and said slowly, "By the way, has Adrien ever told you that you look like someone else?"

It was the second time that Loretta had managed to stun the woman. Satisfied at the look on the woman's face, Loretta turned around and left.

But her heart ached with every step she took, as if cut into a million pieces.

The woman's face somewhat resembled Loretta's. To be precises, that woman looked a lot like Penny Ji.

Even in Adrien's eyes, Loretta was just a substitute for her twin sister, Penny.
