로그인"Laurette, you are not qualified to have a child." Hearing these words from her husband, Laurette's heart shattered into a million pieces, leaving her wondering if she'd be enough. Every time they had sex, he'd remind her to take her contraceptive pill, making sure she never got pregnant. For five years, Laurette found herself trapped in a loveless, secret marriage with Bryce – one that forbids pregnancy. No one knew about it – not even her family. It's been five years already; everyone expected children, especially her mother-in-law, who couldn't wait to cradle her grandchild. But the truth was, she'd had a miscarriage years ago, and the doctor said she couldn't get pregnant again. The memory still lingered, a painful echo of what could've been. She kept it a secret, hiding behind a mask of compliance, letting her mother-in-law cling to hope of carrying her grandchild one day. But today was different. Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Ava, fueled by years of frustration, called Laurette "infertile." Bryce stood there, silent. He knew the truth. He knew about the contract, and he didn't defend her. Instead, he handed her divorce papers and said coldly, "Let's get divorced. My first love is back." Bryce Rodriguez chose Irene – his childhood sweetheart – over the woman who'd stood by him for five years. Laurette couldn't compete when her husband's first love returned. Heartbroken but dignified, she walked away without looking back. But fate had other plans. Months later, Bryce accompanied Irene to a prenatal checkup... only to run into his ex-wife, holding triplets! He went crazy and shouted, "Whose children are they?" he demanded, his voice shaking. "I thought you're infertile?" Laurette only smiled. Too late, Bryce realized the truth. He didn't just lose his wife... He lost his entire family.

"Take the pill!" Bryce was wearing a shirt, revealing his eight-pack abs. He looked both wild and rogue. He had a cigarette in his mouth and looked down at me, I had a white pill in my palm. I got up from my desk, but my legs went weak when I stepped on the carpet. I quickly held onto the desk before looking at the pill in the man's palm. It was a contraceptive pill, and I knew it. Every time after we had sex, he would prepare a pill for me to take. He was extremely cautious, afraid that I would get pregnant again. But he didn't know that I could never get pregnant again. I raised my head, struggling for a moment before saying, "I just finished my period yesterday, and it's still the safe period. Can I not take the pill?" My body was special, and I was allergic to many drugs, especially contraceptives. Every time I took the pill, my stomach would feel uncomfortable for a long time. "Not take the pill? Laurette, do you want to have my child?" Bryce's half-squinted eyes shot out a dangerous light. My hands at my side gradually clenched. He always knew how to hurt me. I licked my whitened lips and said, "I don't..." "You better not!" Bryce suddenly approached me, his cold big hand pressing hard on my lower abdomen, his murderous aura pressing down on me. "Remember your identity, Laurette. You are not qualified to have a child." My pupils contracted, my heart was squeezed hard. I took the white pill from his palm and put it in my mouth. Without water, I chewed the pill and swallowed it dry. The bitter taste exploded on my tongue, and my throat burned, but it was not as painful as my heart. At first, we got married for the sake of having a child and had been respectful to each other ever since. However, after I had a miscarriage, Bryce began to hate me. We had been married for five years, and he had been torturing me for five years as well. Bryce stared at me as I finished taking my medicine, his gaze lingering on my lower abdomen for two seconds. The darkness in his eyes deepened, "Tonight, we're going to Howard family's full moon banquet together." I was taken aback, the Howard family... No wonder he suddenly lost his temper earlier, the invitation was sent by Howard family. It had been five years, and he still turned pale at the mention of the Howard family. I felt a sense of desolation in my heart. That incident had left an indelible mark on our heart's, and it was likely that it would never be erased in this lifetime. "I understand," I walked towards the door. There was a loud noise behind me as Bryce flew into another rage. He glared at my back like a furious lion. "Tonight, you'll talk to Tyson alone. Give it a try." My hand on the doorknob stiffened, and then I silently opened the door and left. The Howard family was one of the four major wealthy families in the capital, and the full moon banquet was held on a grand scale. They not only booked in the most luxurious six-star hotel in the capital, but also invited all the influential figures in the capital. At the entrance of the hotel, I was dressed in a low-key little black dress, following Bryce as we got out of the black Maybach. The elderst son of the Howard family, Louis Howard, and his beautiful wife, Charlotte, were standing at the entrance to greet the guests. Several guests surrounded Charlotte, playing with the baby in her arms. Louis spotted us at a glance and warmly greeted us, " Bryce, Laurette, you're here. Charlotte, bring Nico over to show them." Louis was delighted and pulled Bryce's arm, his face full of excitement as a new father. "Bryce, let me tell you, taking care of a baby is so much fun. They're so small and soft, like a boneless lump in your arms. No matter how hard my day was, seeing him at home fills my heart with joy. You and Laurette should hurry up and have one." Bryce looked at Louis's smiling face and felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw the pink baby in Charlotte's arms. His face suddenly darkened. I sensed the low pressure emanating from him and quickly handed over the gift we had prepared in advance. "Brother Louis, sister-in-law, this is the gift we prepared for Nico," "You're here, that's enough. Why did you prepare a gift?" Charlotte pouted. "Louis, look at your sister, she's being too polite." Although I had no blood relation to the Howard family, I had grown up in their household and was nursed by Louis and Tyson's mother. The Howard brother's treated me like a sister. Louis smiled and patted my shoulder, feeling a bit uncomfortable. "Laurette, have you lost weight? You look a bit haggard compared to the last time we met." As soon as he spoke, Bryce's face visibly cooled, and he sneered, "Maybe I didn't feed her." "Haha..." Louis laughed awkwardly, not realizing he had been dancing in Bryce's minefield. Bryce, you're so humorous. Anyway, you guys go in first, we'll be right behind you. Bryce walked into the hotel with a sour face, and I quickly followed, carefully observing his expression and slowing down my steps. Whenever he was in a bad mood, it was usually a bad time for me. The banquet hall was filled with guests. No matter where Bryce stood, he was surrounded by outstanding individuals. The smoke grey suit perfectly wrapped around his body, highlighting his superior body proportions with broad shoulders and long legs. A black tier with a silver clip was fastened around his neck, and a handkerchief was tucked into the pocket of his suit jacket, making him look like a restrained and aloof gentleman. Only I knew that he was nothing like a gentleman when he took of his clothes. "Bryce, why did you just arrive?" Mrs. Ava, dressed in jewels and finery, walked over with a critical gaze, scanning me from head to toe. She furrowed her brows and asked, "Why are you dressed like this?" Mrs. Ava had never approved of my taste. If I hadn't been pregnant with Bryce's child she would never have allowed a nanny's daughter to marry into the Rodriguez family. Fortunately, they had only registered their marriage without a grand wedding ceremony, so few people knew that I was Bryce's wife. I looked down at my dress and said, "I think It looks pretty good." "Forget it," Mrs. Ava didn't have time to crictize my attire now. She stared at me and said, "Did you see Nico when you came in just now?" "Yes," I replied. Without wasting any more words, Mrs. Ava said, "You've been married for five years. In the first year, Bryce said that you needed to take care of your health and couldn't have a child. Now it's been five years. Shouldn't you resign and go home to prepare for pregnancy?"Last night, Laurette didn't sleep well. As soon as she got on the car, she leaned on the chair to catch up on her sleep and didn't hear Bryce scolding Alice at all. She slept all the way until she arrived at the company. She didn't even know when the car stopped. She just felt someone gently patting her face, and she opened her eyes drowsily and looked out of the car window. She saw Bryce standing outside the car door, and she immediately woke up. She sat up straight and subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth. Luckily, she didn't drool. She rubbed her eyes and said, "We're here. I slept too deeply." Bryce leaned against the car door and teased her, "You were snoring. If I hadn't slept next to you last night, I would have thought you went to steal cows in the middle of the night." Laurette felt embarrassed and said softly, "I don't snore when I sleep." Bryce looked at her and said, "I heard it just now. Don't you believe me? Ask Ethan. Ethan, did you he
Bryce walked for a long time, but Alice didn't snap out of her daze. She couldn't understand why her big brother would protect Laurette so much. The more she thought about it, the more upset she became, so she called Irene. Irene had just returned to her hotel room when she answered the phone and heard Alice crying. "Alice, why are you crying?" she asked, startled. "Sister Irene, I hate my big brother," Alice sobbed, "How could he do this to me?" Irene didn't know what had happened, but she was worried. "Don't cry, tell me what happened. Did your big brother scold you?" "No," Alice choked, "But he did something that hurt me even more than scolding." Irene knew that Alice was the little princess of the Rodriguez family, and everyone doted on her. She couldn't imagine what Bryce could have done to make her feel worse than being Scolded. "Can you tell me what happened?" "I..." Alice hesitated. If she told Irene what Bryce had said to her, she would be
Laurette turned around abruptly, and the villa stood quietly in the night, not far away. She could see a person standing on the second-floor terrace, and it was none other than Bryce. Thinking about how he had watched her and Charles walk side by side, Laurette couldn't help but feel a chill. She said in a low voice, "We were just talking about some company matters. "He really likes to meddle," Bryce said with a hint of displeasure and disdain in his tone. "It's too late, don't wander around the estate in a white dress. People who don't know might think you're in a horror movie." Laurette subconsciously looked down at her white dress and was momentarily speechless. Bryce's deep voice sounded in her ear again, "Stay there, I'll come to get you." Laurette thought it was just a short distance and she didn't need him to come, but before she could refuse, he hung up the phone. When she looked up at the second-floor terrace again, Bryce had disappeared. Laurette wai
Laurette glanced at Bryce, who sat silently. She clenched her fists and said, "Maya, working is tiring. You can't be late for work from 9 to 5." Laurette knew very well how lazy her sister-in-law was. When she married Bryce, she had just taken the college entrance exam. However, every day, she either played games or went to nightclubs. She only scored 250 points on the exam and was often ridiculed by those wealthy girls behind her back. Later, Charles Rodriguez donated a library building to a university, and she managed to barely get accepted. Everyone thought that after entering university, Alice would turn over a new leaf and become a better person. However, she skipped classes repeatedly, and the professor of her major had enough and sent her back home. For the past four years, Alice had been staying at home, either playing games or hanging out with a group of bad friends. Bryce used to try to discipline her, but eventually gave up on her. According to Bryce
Bryce was surrounded by many people, all young heroes in the mall, everyone was talking and laughing, Bryce was the quietest one among them. When Irene walked over, someone started to cheer, "Our piano queen is here, Irene, come quickly, come quickly, we'll be waiting for you." Most of this
Bryce guarded the stubbornness directed at Laurette's striking black long hair.He took me to a high-end club, perhaps because he was also dissatisfied with my clothing, he asked the stylist to pick a dress for me.After getting my hair and makeup done, I walked out of the dressing room in my dress
I took the towel and walked back to the bedroom. I saw Bryce lying on the sofa and was trembling with anger. "Bryce, why do you have to humiliate me like this and make me feel embarrassed? If you like Irene, you can ask for a divorce, and I will sign it without hesitation. I wish you both a
Seeing Charles Rodriguez cheat on his wife really shook me. In my heart, Charles Rodriguez was old-fashioned and dignified, like a patriarch in feudal society. I had never thought that he would also cheat on Mrs. Ava, who I believed was able to empathize with my position, especially now that
