Report
Antonia Wood caught her husband, Ian Hoffman, on a date with his ninety-ninth mistress, Nicole Hallet. Then, in yet another “accident,” she was pushed down the stairs. She lost the baby she had carried for eight months. This was the fifth such “accident.” Yet Antonia neither confronted them nor made a scene. She went to the hospital alone and underwent treatment without uttering a word of blame. This was all because of the humiliating agreement Ian’s grandmother, Gillian Hoffman, had forced her to sign eight years ago. She would receive one hundred million dollars if she could give birth in a year. She would receive fifty million dollars if she could give birth in three years. If she remained childless after eight years, she would no longer be allowed to interfere with her husband’s affairs. This year marked the end of those eight years.

Nicole gave her a cruel smile. “Why do you get to have everything while I lost everything, Antonia? Ian was the one who promised he’d always take care of me, and look what he did to me in the end! “It’s because of you, Antonia. It’s all your fault! If I have to live like this, you don’t get to be happy either!”With that, Nicole lunged at Antonia with the bomb clutched against her chest.Antonia turned and ran in panic. Nicole was just about to catch her when Ian and Hugo suddenly appeared with their security teams.Together, they tackled Nicole and pinned her face down in the mud.Dirty water smeared across her face, but she continued screaming curses at them.When Hugo saw that Nicole was safely restrained, he immediately turned to Antonia and pulled her tightly into his arms, trying to calm her.As he looked at them holding each other, bitterness filled Ian’s eyes.He could see plainly how much Antonia had come to trust and care for Hugo. Jealousy was eating him up, but h

Antonia had underestimated just how far Ian was willing to go.He had started a livestream and locked himself inside a kennel enclosure, allowing several starving dogs to attack him.“I failed the woman I love, and because of me, five of our children died. If suffering is the only way I can make amends to them, then so be it.”The number of viewers continued to climb. Ian stared directly into the camera as though Antonia were standing on the other side of it. There was a gentle smile on his face.“I don’t expect her to forgive me. I just want to do whatever I can to make things right, and to show her that I regret what I did.”With that, he began striking the enclosure with a metal bar, deliberately provoking the dogs further.Comments flooded the livestream. Everyone was saying Ian had completely lost his mind.Antonia shot to her feet. Her hand was trembling around her phone.He was forcing her into a choice, counting on her compassion to make her choose between letting him d

With Hugo looking after her, Antonia gradually regained her strength and independence.He also arranged for her to see a therapist. She began receiving treatment for her depression.Hugo lived in a small but highly developed island nation known for its advanced technology. When Antonia had recovered, she turned down an offer to join Firth Corporation and instead applied for a position at a game development studio.For years, Antonia’s entire life had revolved around Ian. She had almost forgotten that back in college, she had won a top award for game design and programming.She had always had a rare natural talent for it.Returning to work was not easy for Antonia at first.However, she kept pushing herself and found her footing again. Then, she discovered a sense of security she had never known before.As the days passed, Antonia and Hugo gradually grew closer.They ate together every day, talked for hours, went out around town, and occasionally shared a few drinks.

Antonia’s eyes flew open.The terrifying sensation of being drowned still lingered.She clutched her chest and stared around the unfamiliar room in disbelief.“You’re awake?”The voice came from the doorway. A refined, impeccably dressed man walked in carrying a damp washcloth for her face.“You’ve been unconscious for two weeks. The doctors say your body has recovered well enough. They think you simply gave up. You had no will to fight, and that’s why it took you so long to wake up.”Antonia stared blankly at the man.She watched as he came to the bedside and sat down with practiced ease.He moved with the easy familiarity of someone who had done this countless times before.The man met her gaze and smiled gently. “Don’t look at me like that. I was out on the water when I found you and pulled you out. “I’ve been looking after you while you were unconscious, too. I even spent quite a bit of time talking to you and telling you stories.”Antonia was silent for a long time. Wh
