Chapter 10

Author: Anonymous
When news of Mira’s death reached her family, the once brightly lit and luxurious mansion fell into a heavy silence.

Martha wept softly. Tears streamed down her cheeks as Catherina gently wiped them away.

“Mom, don’t be sad. You still have me.”

Martha was about to say something when Gale burst in. His head was covered in blood.

“Mom, Dad… who’s my actual sister? Why did Callum say Mira is actually my sister?

“We got into a fight. I hit my head. Why do I now recall that Mira was my actual sister?”

Even George, who was always the calm one, teared up. He did not know how to answer Gale.

Back when Mira was kidnapped by traffickers, Gale cried and pleaded relentlessly to look for her.

George and Martha were worried they might lose their other child too, so they locked both Gale and Catherina inside the house.

But Gale sneaked out on his own to search for Mira. He then fell into a river by accident.

Although someone managed to rescue him, he caught pneumonia and a high fever.

This risked premature birth.There was even a chance of difficult labor endangering both my life and the baby’s. They insisted I stay hospitalized to protect the baby until delivery.Yet Callum, my parents, and Gale were saying I was exploiting my pregnancy to manipulate them, to vie for their attention, and to compete with Catherina for favor. They were determined to teach me a lesson, so none of them came to see me.I had long stopped thinking of them as my family. As for my irresponsible husband, I might as well be a widow.That afternoon, I finally managed to leave my bed and go downstairs for some fresh air.

I blacked out and collapsed on the floor.When I awoke in a hospital bed, the first thing I saw was my best friend, Joey.The moment she saw I was awake, she fired questions at me.“How could you collapse alone in a hospital? You’re heavily pregnant! Do you realize how dangerous that was? If I hadn’t been on shift and found you, you could’ve lost the baby! Where’s Callum? Why isn’t he here?”My eyes stung with tears when I saw my only friend who genuinely cared about me.“He’s with Catherina...”“That piece of trash! He vowed to take care of you when you married him. Now he’s nostalgic and running back to his ex?”She sighed when she saw my teary eyes. “Look, Mira, if that trash chose someone else, forget about him. You need to take care of yourself now.“Your stress has been affecting the baby, you know?” She wiped my tears gently. “You and this baby matter the most. Worst c
