Chapter 117

Author: The Stranded Fish
Samantha looked at the man she had loved for eight years. At the most crucial moment, he had become the man who drove a knife right into her back.

When she needed treatment most, Channing was using his identity as her husband to stop her from regaining her health.

Samantha's unfamiliar gaze pinned Channing in place. Her red eyes held regret, despair, and pain that pierced the heart.

Channing suddenly tried to soften his tone. "Samantha, just this last time. Once she recovers, I'll never se

    Katarina's lips began to tremble at Hunter's questioning. "You don't know Nathaniel as well as I do," Hunter said, his voice growing colder. "If he had slept with you, he would admit it. He has never been afraid to cross our family…because he had already done that. "However, he keeps insisting he never touched you. Even Samantha believes him." "That's because he feels guilty!" Katarina's voice rose almost to a hysterical scream. "He doesn't want Samantha to find out! Of course he would deny it!" Her frantic protests held to one claim. She insisted that the baby really was Nathaniel's. Disappointment filled Hunter's eyes. "According to your bodyguards' report, other than the night you had Robert drug him and sneaked into his hotel room, you haven't seen Nathaniel at all. He couldn't have gotten you pregnant from a distance, can he?" Katarina flushed with embarrassment. "It happened that time. He took advantage of me." Maximilian sprang up. "I'm going to find him right now!

    Katarina looked up at Dr. Patrick and then at Weston, suddenly frightened. Weston studied Katarina with a steady gaze. "If she's carrying a child with our blood, we need to know eventually. Instead of waiting until tomorrow, let's do the test now. Then we'll know whether she's pregnant. No one gets falsely accused, and no one gets away with lying." His eyes stayed on Katarina as he spoke, never leaving her. Katarina's fingers twisted the hem of her dress until her knuckles turned white. She glanced instinctively at Danielle. Danielle's prayer stopped for a moment. In a gentle and calm voice, she said, "Weston is right. A test will put everyone's mind at ease. Katarina, come with me." Danielle led Katarina into a side room, where Dr. Patrick was already waiting. A heavy silence fell over the main hall. No one spoke. The only sound was the ticking of an old wall clock. Leonard finally lit his cigarette. He took a deep drag, walked over to Hunter, and asked quietly, "How did

    Katarina gripped her cup so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Hunter continued talking to Katarina in the car. "You're not going anywhere now. Leonard, Maximilian, Mom, and Dad have all cleared their schedules. I'm taking you home." - The Young family estate. It was usually quiet and elegant in the manor. The building stood among landscaped gardens, with winding paths through the grounds. Tonight, every light was on, as if the entire hillside had been lit up. The family's butler, Niles, was already waiting at the gate when Hunter drove in. He saw Katarina's pale face in the passenger seat, opened the door, and spoke quietly. "Mr. Hunter, Ms. Katarina, Master Weston and Mrs. Danielle are waiting inside the main hall." The whole family had gathered there just as Niles had said. Weston sat in an armchair with a dark look on his face. His hair was white, but he still carried himself with energy, his eyes sharp. Danielle sat beside him, holding a rosary in her hand. He

    Nathaniel carried Samantha all the way to the car, then shifted her weight onto one arm. He could support her easily with one arm thanks to the difference in their size. He opened the door, set her in the passenger seat, and fastened her seat belt. He glanced at her lips, kissed her, and lingered before driving away. In a convertible parked nearby, Hunter rested a hand on the door and watched everything. Katarina sat beside him in the passenger seat. She was pale and sat with her head down, holding a cup of warm water without saying a word. "You saw that?" Hunter did not turn around. His voice sounded weary. "You insisted we stay and wait because you said Nathaniel would come looking for you once he knew you were pregnant. Did you see how he reacted? How he treated his wife? How he treated you?" Hunter's tone was full of mockery. "Hunter, why is he acting like this?" Katarina asked, unable to stop crying thanks to how reality ensued compared to how she imagined it. She had

    Evan's eyes never left Samantha as they sat on the bench in the garden. He continued, "You're just his wife when you stand next to him. That's not you. You could become so much more accomplished that he would be the one standing in your shadow. You're more than Nathaniel's wife. Your life is your own." "Where would I go if I leave him?" Samantha asked with a bitter smile. "Anywhere you want," Evan said. "Study abroad, build a career overseas, do what you really want. Don't forget that I'll be there to help you all the way. If you want, I can even..." Before he could finish, a cold voice came from the garden entrance. "She's not going anywhere." Nathaniel stepped out from behind the camellias. His expression was stained with a cold fury he could barely contain under the moonlight. He walked over, pulled Samantha off the bench, and dragged her behind him. Evan's jacket slipped from Samantha's shoulders and fell to the ground. Nathaniel glanced at the jacket, then at Evan. His

    Samantha had already left the dining hall. Nathaniel tried to follow, but Channing and Hunter blocked his way together. Nathaniel clenched his fists until his knuckles popped. "She said she wanted to be alone," Channing told him. Hunter stepped closer too. "Nathaniel, tell me everything that happened between you and Katarina at the hotel." Nathaniel had only brought only a few bodyguards. Meanwhile, Hunter ordered his own guards to block the way, and the two sides faced off against each other. Hunter had to know whether Nathaniel had slept with his sister. The rumors online and the recording suggested that he had not. If Nathaniel had taken advantage of Katarina, she would surely have protested when he released such a humiliating recording. Katarina never put up with even the tiniest insult, not even when she was still little. On the other hand, she had many nude photos of Nathaniel on her phone, all taken at the hotel. Now that she was pregnant, who else could Hunter suspe
