Chapter 8

Author: Coco
Yale keenly picked up on what Gwen had said.

I had intentionally auctioned off the ring and terminated my pregnancy just to get back at him. This made him wonder if my death was also a part of my revenge plan.

Suddenly, Yale let out a breath, like a drowning man grasping a lifeline. He immediately ordered Kent to book him a plane ticket to Eidelstein. He was going there to see my parents.

If I had faked my death, he figured I would surely have returned home, and he would find me there.

Yale quickly completed the preparations for the trip. Early one morning, he appeared outside my family's villa. Oblivious to his arrival, I was out walking in the garden. By now, my belly had begun to show.

"Sasha…"

Hearing this, I turned around and saw a haggard Yale. He hadn't shaved in who knows how long, and his hair was unkempt. His clothes were also terribly wrinkled. If his voice weren't familiar to me, I wouldn't have recognized him at all.

The Yale I remembered was a sharply dressed mafia

    As Yale watched the video clips, his expression darkened with every passing second.In the first video, Gwen was seen bribing a doctor to falsify her medical records.The second video was the one she had sent me. It was of them being intimate. It also clearly showed the distinctive birthmark on his back.In the third, Gwen was smugly taunting me. She also openly admitted she wasn't ill at all.The last video was from the day I had left. It was a recording of me running into Gwen in the hallway and then her falsely accusing me of attacking her.These videos proved how foolish Yale had been. He had believed Gwen, and to fulfill her so-called dying wish, he had hurt me.Overcome with rage and frustration, Yale kicked over a chair in anger. Then, he roared for Gwen.A few moments later, his guards dragged Gwen in. Before anyone could speak, Yale kicked her in the stomach repeatedly. His face was twisted with fury."How dare you lie to me? Aren't you supposed to be close to death? W

    Sasha's Point of View.Yale had scoured the highway for any trace of me. In his quest to find me, he had gone three days without food or rest.When I learned of this, I couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of satisfaction. What he was going through now was exactly what I had gone through back then.When I had been told he had died at the wedding venue, I hadn't been able to eat or sleep for days. I had cried every day. Yale was only just beginning to taste that pain.I sent some prerecorded videos to his inbox. I knew that when he watched them, he would break down even more."Don't stare at the computer too long. You should rest more. The doctor said you need peace and quiet. It's better for the baby," Mom said.Placing a bowl of grapes down beside me, she closed my laptop."Since you've left that house, your baby belongs to our family. I want him to carry our last name. What do you think?"Smiling softly, I nodded in agreement.After reminding me to get proper rest, Mom lef

    Yale's Point of View.When I regained consciousness, Kent's face was pale. His voice trembled when he spoke. He handed me photos of the accident that the police had sent.I saw Sasha's half-burned passport, her wristwatch, and the necklace she had been wearing when she left the house that day. There was also a pair of scorched high heels and a medical report confirming that the victim's DNA matched Sasha's.These were all proof that she was dead, but I refused to believe it.How could this have happened? She had been perfectly fine when she had left the house earlier this evening. How could she be dead?I couldn't accept the truth. My eyes rolled back, and I fainted once more. When I came to again, it was already daylight.I sent people to the scene again and again to comb for clues—anything that might prove the victim wasn't Sasha. However, the home surveillance footage showed her getting into a black sedan. And the highway footage caught that same car engulfed in flames.Every

    Gwen searched my face for devastation, sadness, or despair. However, she found none.I simply looked at her icily, making it seem like she was a clown putting on a pathetic show.In the next second, Yale angrily kicked the door open. A medical report slipped from the stack of papers in his hand."This is a consent form for a pregnancy termination procedure. Why did you do this? Why?" he roared.His voice was filled with rage, and his face contorted with anger. At this moment, his stressed expression didn't match his brother-in-law persona.I saw a flicker of grief in Yale's eyes as he held the papers. I knew it wasn't for me but for the child he had lost.I stared coldly at him but said nothing."Why would you abort the child? It's the only descendant my brother left in this world! What's more, you went and did this without telling anyone? You just got rid of the child like it's trash?" he shouted.Still, I didn't respond. To him, my silence was an act of defiance."This is ho

    I arrived at the hospital and waited for my number to be called. While waiting, Gwen sent me a video.I knew I shouldn't watch it, and I should just delete it. However, I couldn't help but take a look.The video began to play. Gwen was taking a bath in the bathroom. Through the glass door, I saw the truth -I could see a faint purplish pentagram-shaped birthmark on his back. In that moment, my world collapsed.Only Yale had that birthmark. There was no way I could be mistaken. If I still held onto any delusions before, then this birthmark was undeniable proof of his deception.Feeling a faint movement in my belly, I decided to give Yale one more chance.I called him. If he rushed over and told me the truth, I would choose to forgive him for the child's sake. I would forgive everything he had done—the lies, the staged death, and even his betrayal.The moment the call connected, Yale said, "I'm sorry, Sasha, but I can't come pick you up. Have the driver bring you home."He was slightly
