Melodramatic

My family is on the brink of bankruptcy, and I beg my fiancé to help us with emergency funding. He turns me down cold, then gets engaged to Nellie White without hesitation. Just when I'm out of options, my childhood friend shows up with an investment contract and a marriage proposal. I say yes without thinking twice. But even with his help, our company can't escape ruin. My father, unable to bear the blow, suffers a heart attack and dies. At the funeral, overwhelmed by grief, I faint. In my haze, I overhear a conversation between my childhood friend and his friend. "You've already crushed Talitha’s family. When are you going to take her uterus for Nellie?" "On the wedding day," he replies casually. "I'll stage an accident, then operate on her myself. Her uterus will be Nell's. I can't give Nell happiness in this life, so I'll give her a wedding gift. I hope it makes her happy." Turns out his so-called devotion was just so he could take my womb. Even his proposal to me was just a way to remove all obstacles for the woman he loved.

Chapter 1
Even then, Ambrose Sinclair's friend was still trying to reason with him. "Talitha's a good woman. Why are you doing this to her? You're really not planning to have kids with her?""I don't love her, so it's better if we don't have kids. I'm already spending the rest of my life with her. I have nothing left to give."Ambrose spoke gently, but each word struck like a blow.His friend pushed further. "What happens if she finds out you're the one who destroyed her family? How do you expect her to live with that?""I don't care. I just want Nell to be happy. If Talitha were still the Fanning heiress, Nell could forget about marrying Kendrick," Ambrose replied. His tone was devoid of guilt.I wanted to confront him—to ask how he could be this cruel, to ask how he could lie to me like that. But I couldn't make a sound. It was as if my throat had clamped shut.My hands moved to my stomach on their own. I was already one month along. And yet, the child's father didn't want it. I had im

"The fetus is too small. I wouldn't recommend a procedure just yet. Come back in a week," the doctor told me. I walked out of the examination room in a daze. My mind had gone completely blank. A week felt unbearably long. It was as if time had decided to stand still. I wandered aimlessly down the hallway. To my surprise, I saw Ambrose supporting Nellie. His face was etched with worry. She leaned against him as they walked. With a weak but playful tone of reproach, she said, "It's just a little stomach pain. You're overreacting. Did you really have to make me go through all those tests?""You've got a stomach issue. From now on, I'll cook your meals and bring them to your office," he replied. His eyes were full of concern. "It's just mild acute gastritis. If you start bringing me food every day, won't Talitha be upset? She's always been sensitive."Nellie was always ready to take a jab at me, but never without that sweet, innocent tone. It was as though playing the victim made

Chapter 3
Ever since the scandal with Kendrick and that young model broke out, Ambrose had barely been home. And whenever he did show up, he was always in a rush. He claimed that he was overwhelmed with surgeries at the hospital. But I knew exactly where he'd been.While he was gone, I used the time to clear the house of anything that had to do with me.…It was the day of the procedure. I lay on the cold operating table, begging the doctor to let me keep whatever was left of the pregnancy. My hands shook as I touched it, hoping to sense the faintest sign of life. Before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face. The baby had come at the worst possible time, but maybe that was for the best. After that day, I no longer had anyone left in this world.…Once the surgery was over, I dragged my weakened body home. Just as I slid the key into the lock, the door swung open from the inside.Nellie appeared in my silk nightgown. Her hair was still damp. It was clear she had just stepped

Ambrose stared at my pale face, momentarily dazed. But Nellie spoke up just in time. "I'm fine, Ambrose. It just hurt a little when she pushed me. There's no need for her to apologize."Her expression was thoughtful, but her every word added fuel to the fire. In an instant, Ambrose's expression hardened again. He shoved my head down, trying to force me to apologize. "I won't! Ambrose, don't make me hate you!" I yelled. I fought back with all my might, yet despair and humiliation crashed over me like a tidal wave. Then, blood trickled down my leg, pooling quickly into a red smear on the floor. The pain was so intense that I nearly blacked out. A beat later, I collapsed to the ground. My body trembled uncontrollably. Ambrose's eyes widened the moment he saw the blood. Nellie, however, feigned shock. She covered her mouth and gasped. "Oh no! Talitha, are you on your period? Why didn't you wear a pad? Are you having cramps?"With that much blood, there was no way that Amb

Chapter 5
After changing into his tuxedo, Ambrose couldn't shake the unease gnawing at him. The wedding march had already begun, yet I, the bride, was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, a bridesmaid rushed over. Panic was etched across her pale face. "Ambrose, something's wrong! T-Talitha's missing!"His heart skipped a beat as a terrible sense of foreboding washed over him. He immediately pulled out his phone and called me, only to find that my phone was turned off. Worried I might have gone to confront Nellie, Ambrose quickly dialed her number. To his relief, she said she hadn't seen me. He forced himself to stay calm, telling himself I was probably just nervous and had stepped away to take a breather. But a second later, a commotion from the banquet hall shattered that illusion. Ambrose rushed to the entrance and froze. On the massive screen, a video had begun to play. It showed him and Nellie wrapped around each other in our bedroom. Gasps rippled through the crowd, followed by a

I screamed and jolted awake. As I gasped for breath, a flight attendant's gentle voice pulled me back to reality."Ma'am, are you alright? We'll be landing soon."I took a moment to steady myself. Only then did I realize I was on the plane, and my seatbelt was securely fastened. Outside the window, an unfamiliar city stretched out below. For the first time in what felt like forever, a sense of peace settled over me. I took a deep breath and pressed a hand to my lower abdomen. Thankfully, my uterus was intact. I'd made it in time.…Dragging my suitcase behind me, I stepped out of the airport and into the sunlight. The warmth enclosed me, easing the nightmare's lingering chill.At that very moment, I felt like life was giving me a second chance.Then, I snapped my SIM card in half before tossing it into a trash can by the curb. I was certain Ambrose would text me. But I had no interest in reading his messages or hearing any more of his pathetic excuses. …Back in the city

After I saw the customer out, Kendrick sauntered over with a teasing smile. "Well, I never thought the Fanning heiress would end up with a job like this."I shot him a cold glance and replied flatly, "And I never imagined the great Mr. Thorne would have the time to browse a tiny gallery like this. Thinking of buying a painting to support my little business?"He let out a dry chuckle. "You sure ran off in a hurry and made me look like a complete fool. Do you know that Nellie's video is all over the internet now? Also, Ambrose is tearing the city apart looking for you. Should I tell him you're here?" he shot back. His tone was tinged with mockery. My smile didn't waver. "Do whatever you want. I'm sure a man like you doesn't need my permission."Kendrick clicked his tongue, looking almost disappointed. "You're always like this. So dull."He was a playboy, and I had known that the moment our families arranged our engagement. He lived for the thrill, chasing women just to prove he c

Chapter 8
Ambrose's eyes brimmed with resignation, and his voice carried a subtle plea as he began, "I know you won't believe a word I say, but I need to say it anyway. While you were gone, I realized I was actually in love with you. I just didn't know it before.""I thought we both understood from the start that this was all a lie," I replied coldly. The corners of my mouth curled up in a mocking smile. I added, "There was never any real feeling between us. So, where exactly would love fit into that? Ambrose, do you honestly think I'm that naive?"He stepped forward, wanting to close the distance between us. However, my icy glare stopped him in his tracks. Left with no choice, he stood rooted to the spot. "I'm here to take you home. I swear, I won't lay a finger on you. As for Nellie, I can't be bothered with her anymore."His voice grew more desperate with each word he spoke. Just as he was about to continue, his phone rang abruptly in his pocket, cutting him off.Frustrated, Ambrose

Chapter 9
I turned to look out the window. The streets bustled with traffic and the constant movement of people. Everyone out there had their own story.Mine, however, had been torn apart and rewritten into something I could hardly recognize, all because of Ambrose. His apology meant nothing. It could never make up for the hurt he had caused me.…After that day, Ambrose vanished. But from time to time, I'd catch sight of him at the gallery. He'd stand off in the distance, watching me in silence. Occasionally, he'd buy a painting or two. Yet, I couldn't help but scoff at what he thought was affection. …Not long after, I changed jobs. I rented a small space downtown and opened a cafe of my own. The smell of coffee lingered in the air. Each day, I'd meet people from all walks of life. Life grew busy for me.At last, Ambrose faded from my life. Still, news about him would reach me now and then. …Kendrick pretended to take a sip from his cup before finally speaking. "I heard Am

I'm so sorry for all the terrible things I've done."He was the son of the esteemed Sinclair family and the youngest chief surgeon at Ashforde General Hospital. Ambrose had a brilliant future ahead of him.
