Chapter 3

"Ruby is pregnant with Ian's baby. You’d leave them alone if you had any brains!” Margot said.

'Ruby's pregnant?' I pondered and looked at Ruby. Her eyes were evasive as she hurried upstairs.

As soon as Margot entered, she instructed the housekeepers to clear the main room for Ruby. "My daughter is carrying Mr. Shaw's baby. How could you let her stay in a guest room? Throw out all of Kiera's things immediately and let my daughter move in!"

The villa's housekeepers had heard about the rumors outside for a long time, and Ian had not come back for several days, so they thought he hated me. They all flattered Margot and threw out everything I owned from the master bedroom.

"Stop!" I yelled when I saw that the emerald bracelet that my mother had left me was broken. I picked up the baseball bat in the corner and beat everyone like I had lost my mind. I beat Margot several times, and she cursed as she jumped to her feet.

In the chaos, Ian rushed back home. "What are all of you doing?"

The housekeeper who was about to strike me stopped and looked at him anxiously.

I walked over to the broken emerald bracelet with red eyes and carefully picked it up.

"Kiera..." Ian also saw the broken bracelet. He knew that the bracelet was very important to me.

"Ian, my daughter is pregnant with your baby. When will you marry her? Hurry and get rid of this woman." Margot thought Ian had her back, and she kept criticizing me.

"Shut up! I will never divorce Kiera, nor will I ever marry Ruby!" Ian's eyes turned red with anger.

Margot wanted to argue with Ian, but the bodyguards kicked her out.

"I will find the best jewelers in the world to fix the bracelet. Stop crying!" Ian looked at me cautiously.

"Even if it’s fixed, it'll never go back to the way it once was,” I looked down at the broken bracelet and said, even though my words were about more than just the bracelet.

Ian hugged me tightly and murmured, "No! I will take Ruby abroad for an abortion in two days. After this is over, we’ll go back to the way we used to be!"

Over the next few days, he stayed in the villa with Ruby and me, taking great care of us two pregnant women.

Ruby's pregnancy symptoms were strong. Ian followed her almost everywhere, like a good husband.

After being locked up in the villa for more than a month, I gradually softened my attitude toward Ian so I could get out for an abortion as soon as possible. "No need to lock me up anymore. I've figured it out. The baby is innocent, and I will give birth to it no matter what!"

"Really?" Ian's eyes shone with surprise.

"I've never lied to you, and it's no exception this time," I said flatly.

Ian hugged me excitedly. "I will take Ruby abroad for an abortion in two days. I will come back when she recovers, and then we'll live our life in peace!"

I hummed softly and lowered my head to cover the indifference in my eyes.

Two days later, Ian took Ruby abroad.

I sat in the villa, quietly waiting for Karen's arrival. From what I knew about her, she would never let me give birth to this baby. As expected, Karen came to the villa with bodyguards that afternoon. "Catch this woman! Send her to the hospital!"

I stood up and stared at Karen. "No need for that. I'll go myself. You don’t need to force me to abort Ian's baby!"

Karen looked at me with disdain as if she were looking at something dirty. "How dare you call that thing you're carrying Ian's baby! How shameless! You might have deceived him, but not me! This thing must die!"

I ended the recording on my phone and looked at Karen meaningfully. "I hope you won't regret this."
