The bodyguards in black suits immediately stepped forward and effortlessly hauled Harvey and Leigh up.

"No! I'm not going! Chief Heath will protect me! This is illegal imprisonment!"

Harvey struggled wildly. But in the face of absolute strength, his struggle seemed utterly ridiculous.

The motorcade restarted.

I leaned back against the soft pillow and fed Munchkin some warm milk Spencer had prepared.

I watched the streets blur past the window as the family compound, the place that once felt

  • He Shamed Me, I'll Destroy Him   Chapter 8

    The next morning, I was woken by the noise downstairs.Spencer wasn't in the room.My chest tightened. Fearing the Wyatt family had come looking for trouble, I quickly threw on some clothes and went downstairs.When I reached the stairwell, I saw a scene I'd never forget for the rest of my life.Mrs. Maynard, who had called me and Munchkin "trash" and "bastard" respectively just yesterday, was now standing awkwardly by the crib with a solid gold heirloom bracelet in her hand.Spencer sat on the couch nearby, peeling an apple, a faint smile playing on the corners of his mouth."Oh my, would you look at that sweet face. She's got the family charm for sure," Mrs. Maynard muttered disdainfully while carefully tucking the heavy gold bracelet into Munchkin's swaddling clothes."But her eyes do look a bit dull. They're not as sharp as Spencer's were at that age.""She just hasn't grown up enough yet," Spencer replied without looking up."Oh, hush, what do you know?" Mrs. Maynard shot

    The road back to the Maynard estate wasn't an easy one. It wasn't because of the road conditions, but because of how nervous I was.As the car pulled up to the gates of the old Maynard family estate, I actually felt an urge to flee.Six years ago, Spencer's mother, Claudia Goldberg, had sat right here, looking at me as if I were trash. She'd said I was after their money and that a woman from a humble background like mine was only fit to be Spencer's plaything.Sensing how tense I was, Spencer took my hand. "Don't be afraid. I told you that no matter what happens, I've got your back."The vermillion gate slowly opened.Mrs. Maynard, dressed in an embroidered silk jacket, sat upright in the rosewood armchair in the main hall, a string of rosary clicking between her fingers.Several relatives stood nearby, clearly eager for a show.When Mrs. Maynard saw Spencer walk in carrying a swaddled infant and leading me, exhausted and worn, by the hand, her expression darkened."So that's w

    "Put these three people's faces up on the screen," Spencer ordered.The camera focused on Harvey and Leigh, who were both kneeling on the ground, and also on Chief Heath.Harvey, with his broken wrist, was covered in tears and snot. Leigh's makeup was completely ruined, making her look ghastly. Chief Heath, meanwhile, was slumped in his chair, trembling all over like a leaf.At the same time, participants from various branches across the city were stunned.Why had these three suddenly appeared on the big screen, which was supposed to be playing the "Annual Advanced Commendation"?The background audio switched to Harvey's voice from that 300-person group chat."See? After having a kid, she's as loose as a sack. It makes me sick just looking at her. I much prefer my side piece, who's nice and tight. Also, look at all those stretch marks on my wife's belly. Who'd want to touch that?"Each word echoed through hundreds of speakers, accompanied by Harvey's disgusting, mocking laughter

    The bodyguards in black suits immediately stepped forward and effortlessly hauled Harvey and Leigh up."No! I'm not going! Chief Heath will protect me! This is illegal imprisonment!"Harvey struggled wildly. But in the face of absolute strength, his struggle seemed utterly ridiculous.The motorcade restarted.I leaned back against the soft pillow and fed Munchkin some warm milk Spencer had prepared.I watched the streets blur past the window as the family compound, the place that once felt so suffocating, faded further and further into the distance.I wanted to cry. But at the same time, I could feel the weight on my chest begin to lift.Six years ago, I chose the safe and steady Harvey in order to escape the suffocating control and prejudice of the Goldberg family.I thought peace meant happiness and that marrying my own kind meant security.But I forgot that not all average Joes were decent. After all, evil was never confined to any social class.Ten minutes later, the moto

    Harvey's hand was caught mid-air, locked in a grip so tight that he couldn't move an inch.I opened my eyes.Through the rain, I saw a black umbrella shielding me from the wind and snow.Spencer Goldberg stood there in a tailored dark gray cashmere coat, his frame as straight as a pine tree.He didn't spare Harvey a glance, his eyes fixed entirely on me and Munchkin."S-Spencer?" My lips trembled. I was almost too afraid to acknowledge him."Mr. Goldberg, this is a family matter," Harvey said, sensing that something was wrong.He tried to pull his hand back but found Spencer's strength terrifying. The bones in his wrist began to creak.A sharp crack, the unmistakable sound of bone breaking, echoed through the rainy night.Harvey collapsed to his knees with a scream, cold sweat drenching his forehead.Spencer released Harvey's hand as if he were discarding trash. Then, he pulled out a handkerchief and meticulously wiped each finger that had touched Harvey."Family matter?" Sp

    I lifted my top to nurse Munchkin, only to find that my once plentiful milk had completely dried up.When she got nothing, Munchkin cried even more desperately.Helplessness consumed me. I stared at my phone, scrolling through the familiar names on my contacts list.My parents were elderly and poor in health, so I couldn't bring myself to burden them with this now.My friends were all busy with their own lives and careers. Who would take in a troublesome woman with a newborn at a time like this?I couldn't accept this. I really couldn't.I refused to give up. I refused to let them drag me through the mud.I closed my eyes and dug through my long-dormant blacklist, finding a number I still knew by heart.It was the person I risked everything to escape from six years ago.The moment the call connected, I didn't even have the strength to identify the breathing on the other end."Spencer, I regret leaving you. Please help me."There was nothing on the other end of the line but t
