Sinopsis

Winning Back the Wife

Regret

For eight years in a marriage devoid of light, I had abortions five times. Every time, Sam would grip my hand when I woke up, his eyes red, and promise to find the best doctors to help me recover. After the third miscarriage, he finally hired a team of top-tier nutritionists, ensuring that every single meal was planned perfectly. He always comforted me, "Don't worry, Penny. We're still young, so we can have another baby!" When I found out I was pregnant again, snowflakes were dancing outside my window. I wrapped my fur coat tightly around my body and rushed to the company, only to hear Wren's furious voice outside the VIP suite, "Are you insane? Those five babies were your own flesh and blood!" Sam replied coldly, "Nicole needs specimen for her experiments. All I'm doing is providing her with the materials she needs." His words dug into my heart like icy spikes, and I could even hear my own bones cracking. "As for Penelope…" He chuckled. "Do you think that our marriage certificate is the real deal?" Snowflakes stung my face like needles, and I finally found out the truth about our marriage. From the very beginning, I was nothing more than a living test subject for the woman he truly loved. Sam was right. Those unborn children never even had legal identities, and were worth less than a piece of paper, just like my so-called marriage. Glass shattered from inside the room, and I could hear Wren cursing, but I turned and walked towards the elevator. Since Sam's priority was Nicole and nothing else, I was hell-bent on making him pay the price.

Chapter 1

Wren's expression was complicated as he voiced his confusion, "If Nicole is the only one you care about, why did you propose to Penelope, and even try and have children with her?"

Sam replied with mockery in his voice, "Well, Nicole needs to go study overseas, see? I have to deal with my physical needs somehow, don't I? Penelope was very innocent and naive back then, so it was easy enough to trick her into a secret marriage. I didn't want her to cause me any trouble, after all.

"As for the kids… I don't like using protection, and that woman's real intent on being a mother, so I just let it happen. I didn't plan on keeping them, anyway."

Wren's expression was sympathetic. "So you led her on for eight years without name or status, killed five of her unborn children, and now you're marrying someone else? Penelope loves you so much! Knowing this would…"

Impatiently, Sam cut him off, "Bah, enough of that. She's just a poor college student from the boonies, so she had her fill of the luxurious life. I'll get married to Nicole in three days, so make sure you're there, yeah?"

Seeing how insistent Sam was, Wren sighed. "Well, don't say I didn't warn you. I can't see anything good coming from this… Penelope's a good girl, so I hope you don't regret it."

"Hmph, as long as I can marry Nicole, I won't regret a thing! Save your nonsense for someone who cares."

Wren only shook his head helplessly, not saying more.

Meanwhile, I was drained of all the happiness in my heart, standing there dumbly as tears streamed down my face.

Out of the corner of his eye, Sam caught sight of me standing outside the door, face streaked with tears, and he was scared out of his mind.

Immediately, he rushed outside. "Penny, when did you get here? W-Why are you crying?"

His voice was tinged with a trace of panic.

I wiped the tears off my face and smiled. "It's… It's nothing, I just got a fake eyelash in my eyes. I'm terrible at makeup, haha…"

Sam let out a breath of relief and pulled me tightly into his arms. "It breaks my heart to see you cry! There's no need for makeup, alright? You're the most beautiful girl out there just as you are!

"Come on, let's go home."

Chapter 2
His words were still as sweet as ever, but I could no longer feel their warmth.Back when I had just graduated and became an employee at his family business, I was bullied and harassed by my superiors. Sam stepped in, back then, and protected my dignity.He told me that he'd support and protect me for the rest of my life, and I believed him, devoting my heart and soul to him.When he requested that I keep our marriage a secret, I agreed without any hesitation. I was afraid that if the news that the CEO's wife was from the countryside went out, the stocks of Wilson Group would plummet.Every time I got pregnant, Sam was as happy as a kid, overjoyed at the prospect of being a father. Every time, he worried about my pain, insisting that the doctors use general anesthesia and staying by my side the entire time.I thought that he sincerely cared about me and our children.In reality, he only wanted to kill them in cold blood, and all for Nicole's sake.All this time, I'd assumed that

Chapter 3
The very same man who said those cold words to me bought an entire estate for Nicole overseas, filled with precious flowers.Watching them embrace and kiss in the sea of flowers, I suddenly laughed so hard I cried.After I took photos as evidence, I dug out the fake marriage registration certificate.That day, we had our wedding registration at home because Sam didn't want me to go through tiring procedures. Thinking back, those were probably actors he hired, huh?I ripped the wedding certificate to shreds and threw it into the trash.Going back to the bed, I found that seeing his face didn't make my heart flutter anymore.I couldn't fall asleep the entire night, my heart filled with sorrow.The next day, Sam still had the nutritionist prepare me a lavish breakfast.In the past, I would have been touched by how much he cared, but I knew that all of this paled in comparison to what he did for Nicole after last night.Every nutritious meal I had, Nicole tried it first.

Nicole blushed. "But I haven't had the chance to pick out a wedding dress yet… Oh, and the ring…"Before she could finish speaking, twenty sets of exquisite and lavish wedding gowns were brought into the room. Each set was a custom creation by a world-famous designer, and they had to be ordered years ahead.All the wedding dresses had different styles and matching diamond rings, each diamond as big as a pigeon's egg.One of the pink diamonds, I recalled, was auctioned at the price of two hundred million dollars just last month.Clearly, Sam came prepared.Nicole's heart was filled with joy, and she pressed a kiss on Sam's cheek. "Wow, these all fit me perfectly! And did you think that I wouldn't notice that twenty was the number of years we've known each other? You're so thoughtful!"Hey, don't tell me you've been plotting to marry me ever since we were kids!"She acted coy, feigning anger, and Sam just smiled and didn't say a word, but his gaze said it all.I looked down at

The scene grew increasingly unbearable, their ragged breathing stabbing at my heart like a blade.Not able to watch any longer, I immediately turned and fled.I had just left the hotel before I suddenly felt nauseous again, and I crouched on the ground, dry heaving.Suddenly, a chilling stream of wine was poured onto my head.After the deed was done, Nicole casually threw away the bottle of wine and smirked mockingly. "Are you a sow, Penelope? How in the world are you able to still get pregnant after five miscarriages? I study medicine, so you can't trick me—I know signs of pregnancy when I see them."I'm going to become Sam's real wife soon, and you're nothing more than just a useless substitute for me. You're the outsider in this relationship, and he's just using you to satisfy his physical needs, got it? That child inside your womb will never be anything more than a bastard."Right, do you want to know what happened to your past five stillborns?"Then, she took out her phone

"How is your hand, Penny? Don't worry, Nicole's fine. It was my fault today. I knew that you felt guilty about the children's deaths, so I shouldn't have said that to you."I promised Mom that I'd get married to Nicole. Even if it's just for show, my mom would be angry if we postponed it. She's up on her years now, and her heart's not doing well, so I'm worried…"I cut him off. "I'm fine, so take care of Nicole. Don't make your mother worry."Sam smiled. "Hey, why are you still calling her that? She's our mom, silly! Don't worry. I'll make sure she acknowledges you!"I'll be going overseas the day after tomorrow, so I'll go home and keep you company with good food, alright?"After I hung up, I turned to look at the hospital room door, which was slightly ajar. Inside, the television was playing the news."Wilson Group's CEO, Sam Wilson, dotes on his fiancee, summoning top specialists from across the country overnight to treat a tiny cut on her palm!"I looked at the doctor beside

Sam froze, the words 'I do' stuck in his throat.With a dissatisfied glare, Nicole glared at the assistant, angrily shouting, "What are you saying? I'm his wife, not anyone else! Do you have a death wish?" Then, she tugged at Sam's sleeve, whispering, "Come on, say 'I do' already… The guests are waiting."However, all that seemed to do was shake Sam awake from his dazed state, immediately shoving Nicole to one side as he marched towards the assistant, grabbing him by the collar, his hands trembling. "What are you talking about? There's no way she'd find out about all that!"Also, what do you mean her flight crashed? She said she'd stay home and be good, so why would she suddenly get on a plane and go overseas? Oh, I get it, you're cursing her! I'll make you pay for this!"He was questioning the assistant with every word, but his eyes were bloodshot, almost as if they were about to erupt into flames.The assistant was so scared that he quaked in his boots, shakily handing Sam t

Later, with the death of each child, the light in her eyes dimmed a little more, until it finally went out completely.So, Sam thought that if Penelope actually got pregnant again, he'd let the child grow up this time, safe and sound. After all, he still liked the way her eyes sparkled like stars.But hadn't he always wanted to marry Nicole?Why was it that, on the day of the wedding, he didn't feel quite as happy as he thought he would, seeing the exquisitely done makeup on Nicole's face?He suddenly started fantasizing how Penelope would have looked, wearing a wedding dress. She probably wouldn't look quite as flamboyant. She would look gentler and more ethereal, like a fairy straight out of a storybook.At that thought, the words 'I do', which he once thought he would say without hesitation, were stuck in his throat.Nicole clung to his arm, her expression anxious. "Sam, stop overthinking it. This is just a trick that woman is using to get you to notice her, to destroy our wed

Chapter 9
In truth, Penelope had never asked him for a thing. She accepted getting married in secret, and agreed to not have a wedding ceremony without any complaints.Even when he was forced to get married to Nicole while being pressured by his mother, Penelope didn't complain or question him even though she already knew the truth.At that moment, Sam's feelings of guilt and love surged forth in Sam's heart.Meanwhile, the assistant returned with the footage Sam asked for, and after watching it all, his expression went dark with rage.Throwing Nicole onto the floor, he looked down at her, his expression disgusted as he declared, cold as ice, "You make me sick! The two of us are through!"Nicole stared at him in disbelief, crawling over to cling onto his leg as she sobbed, "Don't do this to me, Sam! Hadn't you always wanted to marry me? Why are you going back on your word now?"Is it because of that witch? What's so good about her? She's just a filthy skank! I can give you babies too! She

Chapter 10

She said that she only felt what family was like after meeting him, and her dream was to have a baby in the future, and be the best mother she could be.However, he killed his children with his own hands, each and every time.Looking around at the spotless kitchen, he couldn't help but remember how cozy and cluttered it was, decorated by Penelope.She had handpicked each and every piece of cutlery by herself, and promised to cook delicious food for him every day. As long as he came home, there would always be hot, hearty food waiting.However, he was too blind to treasure all of this in the past, and Penelope had become far too frail after all the miscarriages she went through, no longer having the strength to stay busy in the kitchen.Treasured memories that he once ignored crashed onto him like waves, and Sam wasn't brave enough to continue watc
