登入Drugged. Framed. Betrayed. Petra Hudson thought the worst night of her life ended when she escaped a trap set by her husband and Vanessa Shaw - his sidechick. Instead, it left her divorced, penniless, and fighting alone to save her comatose mother. When a one-night encounter with a mysterious stranger leaves her unexpectedly pregnant, Petra's shattered world is turned upside down once again. But the stranger isn't just any man. He is Benjamin Shaw—the ruthless billionaire CEO, the most powerful man in the country, and a man believed to be sterile. “You don't have to worry or take pills. You won't get pregnant." Benjamin assures her. “Because I’m sterile.” But two months later, after she is divorced and struggling to take care of her mom at the hospital, Petra discovers she’s pregnant. And not for anyone else. For the same Benjamin Shaw – the same billionaire thought to be sterile. It turns out to be a twist of fate. The same Benjamin Shaw is Vanessa’s adopted father. Now, with Petra carrying his child – the now heir to the Shaw empire, Vanessa is bound to lose everything.
查看更多Benjamin walked straight towards them, his eyes fixed on Petra. The moment Hubert noticed him approaching, he released her arm and stepped aside. Petra almost lost her balance again, but Benjamin reached her before she could stumble.He crouched in front of her without caring who was watching. His expression changed as he took in her dishevelled appearance and the way she was holding herself."Are you okay? Were you hurt?" Benjamin asked worriedly, gently cradling her head with one hand while resting the other on her shoulder. His eyes moved over her face and down her arms, checking for any sign of injury. "Look at me, Petra. Did he hurt you anywhere?" he asked, his voice low but filled with concern.Petra looked at him, and the tension she had been holding inside finally began to ease. She had been trying not to show how frightened and humiliated she felt, but seeing him beside her made it difficult to keep pretending that everything was fine."Almost," Petra replied with a pitiful
"If your husband is Benjamin Shaw, then I am his long-lost brother!" Hubert said, pointing at himself with a mocking grin.His laughter echoed through the side hall, drawing curious glances from a few people passing nearby. He seemed thoroughly entertained by the situation, and the more he looked at Petra, the more convinced he became that she had made a fool of herself.Petra stood still, unable to find the right words.She tightened her grip on her handbag, holding it close to herself as she nervously glanced around the hall. She couldn't understand why everyone was making such a big deal out of Benjamin's name. She had simply answered the question they asked her. Why were they treating her as though she had committed some terrible offence?Her eyes briefly returned to the security men.Their expressions were no longer merely doubtful. There was a strange mixture of disbelief and irritation on their faces, as if she had crossed a line she should never have approached."Miss, I do
"I don't have an invitation. I'm here with my husband," Petra told the security men, trying to explain herself before the situation got any worse.But before either of them could respond, Hubert interrupted with a loud laugh."What?" one of the security men asked, looking at Petra with confusion."How sweet!" Hubert said sarcastically, shaking his head as he looked at her. "Even your husband has to show an invitation to attend this event, and you expect us to believe he brought you here? Who do you think he is, Mr. Shaw?" he asked jokingly, deliberately emphasising Benjamin's name.Petra turned towards him, her expression hardening.She was growing tired of his childish behaviour. It was bad enough that he had grabbed her earlier, but now he was openly mocking her in front of the security personnel. He seemed determined to make her look foolish, and his confidence was becoming increasingly irritating.The security men exchanged another glance.They had already given Petra an opportun
"Vanessa's dad?" Petra wondered to herself, her eyebrows drawing together as Hubert's words replayed in her mind.She was still trying to understand the connection when she felt someone suddenly grab her arm."Hey!" she screamed, turning sharply as Hubert's fingers tightened around her wrist.He had caught her just as she was about to walk away. His grip was firm, and the suddenness of it sent a wave of anger through her. She tried to pull free, but he held on as though he had every right to stop her.Hubert looked at her with a mixture of resentment and arrogance. There was something unpleasant in his eyes, something that made Petra wish she had never stopped to speak to him."I was naive in college," Hubert cut in, tightening his grip around Petra's hand. "I thought I needed an obedient wife, someone who would simply listen to me and follow whatever I said. But now I realise that money and power are more important. If I had known Vanessa was rich, I would have pursued her instead.
