Chapter 7

Author: Yogurt Monster
I didn't let myself drown in grief for long.

Within a few months, I had already adjusted and thrown myself into work.

Before long, I had become my father's right-hand assistant.

One afternoon, he had to leave suddenly for a meeting, leaving the huge office empty except for me.

The door burst open without warning. Eugene rushed in, looking exhausted.

It had only been a few months, but he looked like a completely different person. His face was gaunt, and his eyes were bloodshot from lack of s

  • Killed My Baby to Save Hers   Chapter 11

    After Eugene left, I sat alone in the boardroom on the top floor of the company headquarters.One by one, I pulled back every bit of support my father had once given Eugene.His nightmare had only just begun.In less than half a month, Eugene's company collapsed completely. The cash flow dried up. Every partner pulled their investments. The rising business star everyone used to envy fell overnight into crushing debt and declared bankruptcy.Just when he hit the lowest point of his life, the truth came crashing down on him.He accidentally discovered that Fiona's baby had never been sick. There had never been any rare disease.She knew Eugene still felt responsible for his late brother and would do anything for her.What made it even worse was that the child she gave birth to wasn't his brother's at all. She had cheated during her marriage and gotten pregnant by another man.Fiona had planned everything carefully. She used Eugene to destroy me and my child so she could take ev

  • Killed My Baby to Save Hers   Chapter 10

    Eugene didn't give up after I rejected him.If anything, he became even more desperate.He acted like a man possessed, trying every possible way to apologize.He even transferred all his assets into my name, saying I could have everything if I would just forgive him.But I couldn't even be bothered to spare him a glance.Money was the one thing I no longer lacked.To me, his regret and humility looked like nothing more than a performance meant to comfort himself. The damage he caused wasn't something a few tears and a handful of apologies could erase.What broke him even more was the fact that someone new appeared in my life.Luke Powers.He was the son of one of my father's longtime friends. He was gentle, composed, and raised with impeccable manners. He respected me, cared about me, and quietly stayed by my side.When Eugene found out, he completely lost control.One afternoon, Luke and I were sitting in a café downstairs, sharing coffee. The atmosphere between us was soft

    After Eugene woke up, he swore he would win me back.He waited outside the company building and outside the gates of my villa.Every day, he showed up with flowers, apologies, and endless confessions, lowering himself more than I had ever seen.But no matter how humble he acted, I never looked back.Then, my birthday arrived.That day, he was waiting outside my garage when I pulled in.Both of his hands were wrapped in thick bandages, making him look worn down and pitiful. His fingers trembled as he held out a rough silver bracelet.A crooked word was carved into it:Rachel."Rachel… You once said you wanted me to make you a piece of jewelry myself. I was always busy back then. I never had the time…"I stared at the bracelet, and all I felt was irony.Of course, I remembered.Early in my pregnancy, I had rested a hand on my stomach and teased him about it. I told him I envied women whose husbands made them bracelets by hand.It didn't have to be expensive. As long as he ma

    Eugene froze where he stood.The grip on my wrist loosened instantly.He stared at me, then at my father standing there with quiet authority. His voice trembled."Rachel… Who are you really? You told me you didn't have any family. How do you suddenly have a rich dad?"My father let out a cold laugh as he stepped into the office.The pressure in the room shifted the moment he walked in."She said that because of you. Back then, I saw through how selfish and cold you were right away. I refused to let you two be together, but Rachel cried and begged to cut ties with me just to stay with you. Do you think your company's success these past few years was because of your talent?"His voice dripped with contempt."I felt sorry for my daughter struggling out there, so I quietly used my connections to open doors for you. If I hadn't been supporting you from behind the scenes, what exactly made you think you could climb to where you are today?""What?"Eugene stumbled backward. His face

His face was gaunt, and his eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep.The moment he saw me, his gaze locked onto me.He grabbed my wrist."Rachel!"His voice was hoarse, filled with the kind of relief someone feels after finding something they thought was lost forever."I finally found you. Let's go home. I want to see our baby. Even if I did something wrong, how could you disappear without a word? That was completely irresponsible!"I looked up calmly at the face I had once loved so deeply and later hated just as much. My expression stayed cold."Go

    Rachel's POVWhen I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a hospital bed.My father sat beside me. His eyes were red, his face filled with worry and exhaustion. He held my cold hand tightly. It looked as if he had aged ten years overnight."Rachel… You're finally awake. I almost lost you."The doctor had told him I had suffered massive blood loss, a serious infection, and burns in my throat. The fact that I had survived at all was a miracle.My body began shaking uncontrollably."Dad… Where's my baby?"The moment I asked about the baby, my father couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears streamed down his face."Sweetheart… The baby didn't get enough oxygen during the delivery, and they missed the best chance to save him. I'm sorry. I couldn't protect my grandson.""No!"I tried to sit up. A sharp pain tore through my wounds, but it couldn't drown out the grief breaking inside my chest.I grabbed my father's clothes like a madwoman, crying so hard that my voice shattered."My baby…
