The group arrived at the mall owned by Nathan. They entered using the private entrance where the mall manager had been waiting to welcome them.

The group refused his company as they knew he was also busy in managing the operation of the mall.

They reassured him that they could do the shopping alone and they would not enjoy it themselves if he would come with them.

The manager had no other choice but to let them. But before that, the manager told them that if emergency arose, they should call them.

He had also briefed the stall owners inside the mall to accommodate them if they visited their shop or store. Also, because of their visit, the mall security had become stricter than usual.

The ladies decided to go into two groups. Eunji went with the older ladies to shop with maternity clothes together with Alice and Kelly.

She had been wearing oversized shirts at home till now. So she decided that it was time to buy maternity clothes.

"This one darling, try this. You'll look good on this." Mei said while handing her a beautiful maternity dress to try on.

"Thank you mom." Eunji then grabbed the dress to try it on.

"Do you want me to come with you darling?" Madame Mo asked Eunji as she tried to look for maternity clothes for Kelly and Alice.

"It's okay. Moms, kindly help Alice, too."

"Oh sure. Don't worry sweetheart." Madame Mo and Mei told her.

"Thanks moms."

Eunji then walked on the changing room to try her clothes. She picked a vacant room and entered.

Eunji then removed her clothes and hung it into the hanger.

She looked at her face in the mirror and smiled when she looked at her swollen belly.

"Hi there babies." She said while gently rubbing her belly.

She suddenly felt something moved inside her belly which made her to jolt in surprise.

"Oh!" She gasped when she felt three kicks in her belly.

"Wow! You three were quite active yeah?" Eunji warmly told them which earned another kick from them.

Eunji giggled and then decided to try and put on the dress.

She heaved a sigh as at least she looked good on it. The fabric was also stretchable that she could wear it until she's in full-term.

After she made sure that there were no torn stitches, she removed the dress and placed it back to the hanger.

She then wore back her clothes and went out of the changing room.

She was walking towards the others when someone almost bumped into her should her reflexes was not quick.

She immediately wrapped her arms around her belly to protect it from hitting on the glass shelf.

The woman only looked at her and didn't dare to apologize and instead walked away.

The staff who saw it immediately approached Eunji and asked her if she was okay.

"I'm fine. Don't worry." Eunji told the clerk.

"Are you sure Mrs. Bai? We will call the security to chase that woman and bring her here so she could apologize to you now." The clerk nervously told Eunji.

"No. It's okay. She didn't hurt me anyways. Just make sure that nothing like this would happen in the future." She told the clerk.

Eunji followed the woman who had already exited the store through her gaze.

After two hours of shopping, the two groups meet at the ice cream shop.

Eunji's cravings for ice cream was no joke.

Even though An Qi advised her to minimize her daily intake for fear of acquiring gestational diabetes, Eunji didn't listen to her and she could finish three servings every time she ate.

When she was done, she burped and smiled afterwards.

Now, she's ready for the next destination.

But before that, Eunji excused herself as she wanted to use the comfort room to pee.

One of the things that she didn't like was her constant urge to pee.

She would be visiting the toilet almost every hour.

Alice and Iris also went with her as Alice had the same situation with her.

The others decided to go into the private parking lot and decided to wait for them there.

The trio used the nearest ladies room to relieve themselves.

Iris decided to stand by the sink and observed their surroundings.

She frowned when she felt that something was off. They were the only people using the ladies room but the rest of the cubicles were shut closed with no sign posted on the door.

Then, she suddenly smelt something fragrant and her eyes widened in alarm.

"Eunji! Babe! Hold your breath!" Iris said while taking the handkerchief in her pocket and was about to drench it with water.

However, she was already too late. She suddenly felt dizzy and her eyelids were voluntarily closing.

She didn't even realize that she had already lose consciousness and fell down on the floor.

The door next to Eunji opened and a man wearing a hood and gas mask got out. Then, three women wearing black hood and gas mask on the face came out from the other three cubicles.

The woman then kicked Eunji's cubicle open.

They smirked when they saw the unconscious Eunji sitting on the toilet bowl.

From the looks of it, she was about to remove her pants and was about to pee when she smelt the drug dispersed in the air.

The woman who seemed to be the leader tilted her head to check on Eunji to see if she was indeed unconscious by slapping her face hard.

*Pa!*

The other lady was not even contented and slap the other side.

"That's enough! We better hurry or else those guards would barge in and bring trouble to us." The woman who first went out of the cubicle who looked to be the leader of this team told them.

They then covered Eunji's head with a black cloth and carried two women brought Eunji out of the cubicle.

"What are we going to do with this two, Leo?"

"Leave them Sagittarius. They're not our priority. If untreated, it will take two hours to wear off anyways. And when that time comes, it's already too late for them to save the subject." Leo, the team leader said.

"Okay!"

With that, they walked towards the fire exit of the mall and got out on the parking lot where their get-away vehicle were waiting for them.

They had already tampered the live CCTV feed so that no one could spot them when doing their crime.

When they walked out, the guards who were supposed to be guarding Eunji and the rest were already knocked unconscious on the floor.

Meanwhile....

"Mom, don't you think they're taking too long?" Kelly asked Madame Mo.

"Right. It's been thirty minutes since they were gone." Madame Mo said while looking at her Rolex wrist watch.

"Should we ask someone to go and check on them?"

"I'll go! I felt like peeing anyways." Celine volunteered.

"Ask Xiaolan to go with you, too. And also, bring some guards." Madame Mo told her.

Celine listened to Madame Mo and with Guo Xiaolan's company and four guards, they went inside the mall.

Meanwhile, inside the ladies room, Iris had already regained consciousness. Before she passed out, she had took a special pill which acted as an antidote against the sleeping drug that had caused her to be unconscious.

Eunji had secretly given it to her earlier just incase something bad would happen during this trip.

She immediately got up to check on her fiancé who was probably still unconscious inside the cubicle.

She kicked the door open and then she saw her beloved, unconsciously sitting on the floor while holding her stomach.

She then took an extra pill and inserted it into Alice's mouth.

The drug that they inhaled would make a person to be sent into deep sleep within thirty seconds after it entered the nostrils.

Iris wasted no time and carried Alice out of the cubicle and out of the ladies room.

She looked around and saw that the hallway were already empty.

She then saw Celine and Guo Xiaolan rushing towards her in panic.

"What happened?" Celine asked Iris.

"Someone took Eunji away!" Iris said.

"What?!" Guo Xiaolan exclaimed in shock.

"Who would dare to do this?!" Celine asked her too.

"I have no idea. But one thing's for sure, whoever was that person, he or she was tired of living in this world." Iris said while passing them.

"Kindly help Iris." Celine asked one of the guards who went with them.

"No thanks. I could manage." Iris declined the offer.

She might looked lean and weak but she could lift and carry triple her weight.

When they arrived the parking lot, the rest were shocked to see Iris carrying the still conscious Alice in her arms.

"What happened?"

"Where's Eunji?" They asked when they could not see Eunji with them.

"Something happened inside." Iris simply said.

"Eunjichan's in danger." Celine told them.

"What?!" All of them exclaimed in shock.

"Don't worry. Our team are already following the culprit. I'll bring Mistress safe and sound. Which leads me to ask you guys a favor." Iris reassured.

"Please bring my fiancé to the hospital. I already gave her the antidote. She'll probably be waking up any minute by now. I just want to make sure that they were not hurt when she fell on the ground." Iris said.

"Don't worry. We'll take good care of her." Madame Mo and Mei told her.

"Thank you. Ahm. Please don't let Magnus to be anywhere near her." Iris said then kissed the unconscious Alice on the lips.

"I'll be back. Wait for me." She told her.

"Be careful!" They told her.

A black armored van then stopped near them and Iris went inside.

"Give me the status!" She told the man who was holding a laptop with a flashing red dot flashing on the screen.

It was Eunji's phone tracker that they were monitoring.

"Everything's running according to the Mistress' plan, Tiger."

"Good. As soon as we arrived in their hideout, let's not waste any time. Yes. Mistress could protect herself but her situation was different now. She's pregnant." Tiger told the third-in-command.

"Roger that, Tiger."

"These people are clearly courting death." Iris mumbled.

Meanwhile, inside the van, Eunji's hands were tied using zip ties making her delicate wrist to turn red and was bruising.

They were having discussions on what to do with her before they would kill her and cut her head.

"What a waste. If only she seduced and had kids with another man, she would not end up like this." Virgo told them.

"Guys, should we really continue this mission? We're going to kill the innocent baby in her belly, too."

"Cut the crap Capricorn! We have already received the money and had spent some of it. We should deliver the goods to the boss." Leo scolded her.

"But--"

"No buts! If you still want to have your head connected to your neck, you better shut up!" Leo warned.

The van became quiet after that exchange.

Oblivious to them, the woman whom they thought was unconscious was actually conscious all this time.

Eunji was paying them and her surroundings close attention.

Though she could not see their faces because they were wearing a mask which corresponded to their star signs, with their voices, aside from Leo, the rest were young. Mostly still on their teens.

Eunji sighed as she knew if Nathan would found out what had happened to her. For sure, the latter would scold her.

Worse, she would be placed under house arrest until she gave birth to make sure she and the babies were safe.

That thought alone made her head ache.

But she was curious to find out the person who requested for her head on the online mercenary request portal days ago.

She wanted to find out who it was and punish him or her herself.

So she created this bold plan an hour before they left the mansion earlier.

She didn't tell all of her plans to Iris as she was afraid that she would be the first person who would stop her.

She had also deliberately leaked her schedule to others using a dummy account to lure the enemies towards her. Meeting the person today was the same as meeting her or him tomorrow so why not do it today?

The sleeping drug was indeed effective but not to her. Jeez! She had been making those types of drugs and she was already immune to it.

She was awake when she received two slaps on the face. She swore that she would chop off those filthy hands who dared to hit her pretty face.

Now, she could feel them stinging on pain.

All she could do now was wait. She was not practically patient but in this game that she was playing, being patient was necessary.

These people would never sell their boss to her anyways.

These people were clearly oblivious that they were playing her game.
