Chapter 1

작가: Frolicking Heron
"Our baby's gone, and we're never having another one," I spat out.

My husband, Logan Archer, withdrew his hand, as if he couldn't believe his ears. "What did you just say?"

I repeated, "We're never going to have another child."

He scowled and spread his hands. "Violet, are you saying such petty, childish things out of spite just because you're jealous over such a trivial matter?

"It's a fact that we owe Bee. I already have my hands full with her, so I don't have the time or energy to look after you and a baby right now. That's why I told you to get an abortion."

The sound of a cup shattering came from the housekeeper's room next door. The irritation on his face instantly turned to panic, and he hurried into Bianca Martinez's room.

"This is all my fault, Logan. I didn't mean to. I just wanted to use the bathroom, but I lost my balance and broke the cup. I'm sorry," she wept.

Logan's heart ached for her. He scooped her up from the floor and gently comforted her. "Bee, you can call me whenever you need anything. Don't push yourself, okay?"

He carried her toward the bathroom. When he walked past me, he instructed, "Bee broke a cup. Go clean it up."

It had been less than a day since I had my abortion, and I was still bleeding between my legs. I felt completely hollowed out, and my head spun when I rose to my feet.

His words only fanned the flames. The tears in my eyes spilled over. "Alright, I'll clean it up. But once I'm done, we're over."

The tenderness on his face froze solid. "Are you serious?" he asked through gritted teeth.

Bianca shrank back in his arms. "Violet, please don't argue with Logan. It's all my fault for being so clumsy. I can clean it up myself.

"Violet just had an abortion, Logan. She must be having a hard time too."

Logan's expression darkened several shades. I could almost see his chest heaving violently. Yet, he still didn't forget to comfort Bianca. "How could it be your fault?"

He shifted his attention back to me and sneered. "Violet, if you're going to keep acting like this, you can forget about having a baby!

"The only reason we even conceived the child you aborted was because your father kept pestering us for a grandchild. When your father brings it up again, we'll see who ends up looking like a fool!"

  • I Lost Our Child to His Guilt   Chapter 10

    Kenneth placed his property deeds, car keys, and credit cards in front of Dad. "This is everything I own, Mr. Dixon. It's all for Vi. What do you think? "If these aren't enough, she can have every penny I earn from now on, too. I'll be making around 30 grand a day, which is more than enough for us to live comfortably."Dad laughed heartily. "Of course these aren't enough! My daughter will be the one wearing the pants in the future, right?" "That goes without saying," Kenneth answered without the slightest hesitation. …Kenneth and I held our wedding back home. Logan came alone to congratulate us. Even though he wore a relatively formal black suit, he no longer carried himself with the confidence he once had. In fact, there wasn't even a shadow of his former self left. He forced a smile. "Congratulations on your wedding, Vi."I smiled at him. "Thank you." He was like an old acquaintance I rarely kept in touch with. I didn't make much small talk with him. I simply arranged

  • I Lost Our Child to His Guilt   Chapter 9

    Tears glistened in Logan's eyes. "We can have another baby. I can build you another house, exactly the way you want it!""You still don't get it." I reached out and slapped him hard across the face. "Does it hurt? You can't bring back what's been lost, and you can't repair what's been broken. Our relationship is no different. "Let's get divorced. I want you to stop pestering me as well. If you don't leave, I'll call the cops and have you deported!"Logan's expression turned bleak. I returned home and told the security guards to keep an eye on him and make sure no unwanted visitors got into the premises. Logan spent the entire day on his knees outside. The next morning, when I drew back the curtains, I could still see the familiar figure I never wanted to lay eyes on again. The security guards eventually drove Logan away, saying he was disrupting public order. After Logan returned home, I immediately received an email from him. It contained the signed divorce agreement and a l

  • I Lost Our Child to His Guilt   Chapter 8

    Dad stroked my hair with a heart-wrenching look on his face. "My precious daughter has really grown up." Perhaps after losing a loved one, living in a different country from Dad, and discovering my husband's infidelity, I'd seen so much of life's harsh realities in the last three years that I'd simply gotten used to it all. I was slowly beginning to realize that what was lost was lost. There was no point in staying trapped in the past. When my house was burned down, I'd hated Logan and Bianca with every fiber of my being. I'd wished I could damn them to the worst fate imaginable. However, now, I was slowly making peace with a lot of things that had once weighed heavily on my heart. I knew that the only way forward was to stop looking back. Dad provided me with a comfortable life overseas. For the first time in a long while, I could finally be a child again. I was free from the burden of managing every little thing in a household. I began to learn everything I wanted to lear

  • I Lost Our Child to His Guilt   Chapter 7

    There were days when Mrs. Archer Senior was confused and disoriented, and there were other days when she was perfectly lucid. She lived alone in a villa, with two housekeepers we'd hired to look after her. Bianca didn't have to worry about Mrs. Archer Senior's daily needs at all. Now that I was about to leave, it was only natural for me to visit Mrs. Archer Senior one last time. I bought a bunch of things and headed to Mrs. Archer Senior's villa. She held my hand and examined me closely before asking, "Who is this?" The housekeeper was all smiles. "She's your granddaughter-in-law." "Logan has a wife now? What a beautiful young woman." Mrs. Archer Senior was still as affectionate as ever, leading me inside to take a seat.I took out the medication she usually took and asked the caregiver when Bianca was with Mrs. Archer Senior. The housekeeper responded, "Bianca looks after Mrs. Archer Senior when the two of us are on leave. She also drops by from time to time. She's been

    Kenneth's voice sounded so comforting at that moment that the emotions I'd worked so hard to suppress overflowed. "Kenneth."He fell silent for a moment, clearly caught off guard, before asking cautiously, "What's the matter, Vi? Where are you? I'll come get you right now!""I'm home. My old home.""Stay right there!"After wrapping up the call, it took him less than half an hour to show up in front of me. Drinking in the sight before him, Kenneth scowled. "Who did this?" "Logan," I answered, unable to stop my tears from spilling over.Kenneth suppressed his anger and knelt beside me, gently stroking my head. "I have a few spare rooms at my place, Vi. If you're comfortable with it, you can crash at my place for a while. We'll work out the rest together." "What did you want to tell me?" I asked.He abruptly recalled something and pulled a flash drive and a file out of his briefcase. "I checked all the surveillance footage from the day you told me about. I can guarantee that

    Anger began to simmer inside me. That house was the one Mom had left me. Yet, Logan seemed delighted with her suggestion. He smiled warmly at her. "That's a great idea! You're always so thoughtful, Bee. It's a deal then." Right after saying that, he looked up at me. "What do you think? Now, you won't have to be jealous anymore." "Mom left that house to me! Why should I let her live there?" I fumed. "You're one hell of a schemer, Bianca. You've schemed your way into my life, and now you want to take over my home, too?" For the first time ever, Logan raised his hand and slapped me. The next second, he stared at his own hand, his gaze flickering. His Adam's apple bobbed. "Bee saved my grandmother. How could someone so kind ever scheme against you? You're such a judgmental snob!"Without wasting a second, he called a moving company and arranged for Bianca's belongings to be packed up and transported to my house. I hurriedly stopped him, yet he had made up his mind. I spread my
