MasukDue to my husband's unique status, I did not reveal his identity to my mother after we secretly married. My family was about to be relocated during the holidays, and I took the opportunity to visit my hometown. When I got home, my mother locked me in my stepbrother's room. I questioned my mother about it, and she said, "We're about to be relocated. If you get pregnant, the baby will be counted as an extra person. We'll be compensated with one more house and millions of dollars extra." I begged my mother to release me, but she said that it was better for me to stay in the family than marry into another one. "You and your brother aren't related, anyway. We can even save on dowry." I refused, so my mother got my brother to beat me up until I bled. As the date for the entire town to relocate approached, the developers arrived to distribute the compensation. My husband was among those who arrived. When he saw my bruised cheeks and the bump on my stomach, he went crazy.

I gave a long sigh of relief when I got home. I felt lucky to have agreed to James' suggestion of arranging bodyguards for me.He wanted bodyguards and assistants to follow me back to my hometown previously. However, I had not decided if I wanted to tell my mother about his real identity then, so I rejected his offer.Now that I thought about it, James had been right all along for suggesting it. I was the one who had made the wrong choice.As I did not need to rely on the café for my livelihood, I decided to hide out at home until I was sure my mother, Boris, and Titus had left the city.Little did I know that they would cause trouble for me when I did nothing to them.When I next heard of my mother's news, it was from a link my friend shared.Before I could click on the link, my friend called me. She sounded anxious."Look at this, Raven. Is that your mother? How could she slander you and your husband like that? How can a mother be that way?"She hung up quickly after that, as
The first thing I did when I got home was to officially sever ties with my family.I had put it off before because I was worried about what someone like my mother would do if she found out I had married someone rich and powerful.My mother had never treated me well since I was young, and I knew her character well.I just held onto the hope that she would change. Now that I thought about it, James had protected me too well. I had forgotten how ugly a person's nature could be.I recuperated at home for many days before I finally reopened my café.When I got to the café's doors, I was surprised to see my mother, Titus, and Boris kneeling on the ground. They were a mess and looked like beggars, especially Titus and Boris, who looked quite weak.Boris' eyes lit up when he saw me. He came forward to grab my arm.I did not expect them to track me down here."What are you doing here? Haven't you had enough of James' revenge? Have you come here for more?"My mother's expression froze.
As the top brass who had established a business empire, Gideon Corporation, James Gideon was a very intelligent man. He immediately understood what I had gone through by observing everyone's expressions and the minimal dialogue between all of us.He pulled me into his arms dearly. Even though another man had almost slept with me, it did not affect his feelings for me. Instead, it seemed like James only cared more about how I felt.When the townspeople heard the commotion, they crowded to where we were. They watched in astonishment as they witnessed James lovingly taking care of me.While everyone watched nervously, James asked me in a booming voice, "Raven, you can decide if you want Moontown relocated. I'll do anything you want."When he said this, my tears fell again while in his embrace. James was showing me support even if it would cost him great profit. He was giving me respect and power.When everyone heard that the decision was now up to me, they started speaking up before
Titus and Boris did not notice the unhappy look on my husband's face. They rubbed their hands while standing in front of him with big, wide smiles. Their backs were bowed slightly as they introduced him to the Wagners."There are five people in our family. There's me and my wife, Patricia Lobe. My son and his wife, Raven Charleston, and the baby inside her."My husband looked even more upset when he heard that I was pregnant. His fists cracked as he clenched them tight.He kept looking at me, noting every bruise on my exposed skin.He then turned to look at the town's mayor. "Raven Charleston is their daughter-in-law?"It was an unexpected question, and the mayor had no idea how to answer it. He had no idea how I, my mother's daughter, had suddenly become the Wagners' daughter-in-law.My mother quickly stepped in to answer my husband with a groveling smile."Yes, sir. Raven is my daughter. I made the decision to marry her to my stepson. We're a family, after all. What's better t
