Madeline Sanders had always been aware that her marriage to Trevon Gibson was merely a contract. When his first love breezed back into town, Trevon wasted no time in asking for a divorce. Clutching the results of her pregnancy test, Madeline was at a loss for words. She was stripped of everything and left to fend for herself. She decided to start anew as an artist and a single mom. However, Trevon couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. He inexplicably suffered pregnancy symptoms. Madeline's morning sickness became his, her cravings for pickles turned into his own, and her labor pains echoed through his body. Afterward, Madeline declared, "The baby will carry the name Sanders!" There stood Trevon, juggling a bottle and a diaper, "Sanders it is! Darling, when do you say I join the Sanders crew?"

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

"You'll have the test results in about an hour."

The nurse's smile was gentle and reassuring as she took the vial of blood from Madeline Sanders.

Madeline held a cotton swab to her arm and settled into a chair in the waiting area. She was a bit pale, but her eyes sparkled with hope. She had a hunch she was pregnant, and that hospital visit was just to make sure.

Three years ago, Trevon Gibson was involved in a terrible car crash that left him comatose, with doctors saying he would never wake up.

Lydia Sanders, Trevon's high school sweetheart and Madeline's half-sister, did not waste any time and jetted off abroad for her studies.

Somehow, Trevon's grandmother—Edith Gibson—figured that Madeline was Trevon's lucky charm and insisted she marry him. The Gibson family promised to care for Madeline's mother, who was lost in her own world of madness. Madeline felt trapped but agreed to the marriage.

Little did everyone know that Madeline was secretly in love with Trevon for years. To everyone's surprise, Trevon woke up after the wedding. However, Madeline's joy was short-lived.

Trevon's first words to her were icy and calculated.

"Out of respect for my grandmother, I'll take you as Mrs. Gibson for three years. When Lydia returns in three years, I will marry her."

Madeline had braced herself to play along with that deal, ready to step aside when the time came. However, life threw a curveball a month and a half ago.

Trevon stumbled home after drowning his sorrows in alcohol that day, and Madeline single-handedly managed to drag him inside. Supporting a drunken Trevon was like moving a boulder—each step a battle of strength.

Madeline and Trevon could no longer keep themselves upright and crumpled to the floor just inside the front door. Their lips brushed together in the fall, an accidental kiss that sent Madeline's heart racing.

Trevon was a notorious germaphobe, avoiding physical contact like the plague. However, that unexpected kiss seemed to unlock something in him, and he leaned in for another.

Madeline was caught off guard, but she did not resist.

Later, in the quiet aftermath, Madeline could not bear to stay in the bed they shared. She tiptoed around the sleeping Trevon, erasing any trace of what had happened between them.

The hospital was a hive of activity, but Madeline felt alone in the crowd. With trembling hands, she opened the lab results.

'Early pregnancy. Recommend a follow-up ultrasound.'

Joy flickered across her face, quickly hidden behind her hand to muffle her giggles. Regardless of the state of her marriage, that baby was a precious gift.

She was eager to tell Trevon, her fingers hovering over her phone. However, she hesitated. Trevon's germaphobia was not just about objects—it extended to people. She had seen him scrub his hands raw after a mere handshake.

The Gibsons knew that Trevon and intimacy were like oil and water. His mother had even suggested IVF, which Trevon flatly refused.

However, alcohol had loosened his inhibitions that one night.

Would he believe the baby was his?

Doubt clouded Madeline's mind, bringing a headache and a wave of nausea. She was jostled as a group of doctors in white coats rushed by, nearly sending her phone flying.

"Emergency! Please step aside," a nurse said, flashing Madeline a quick, apologetic smile before dashing off.

Madeline took a deep breath, watching the commotion unfold. Her gaze drifted to the emergency room doors without much thought.

However, in a heartbeat, her eyes widened in shock.

Trevon was there, shielding Lydia as they stepped down from the ambulance. He guided her gently onto a stretcher and, with a team around them, made a beeline for the VIP suite.

A chilling shiver sliced through Madeline, her knees buckling as she clung to the nearby railing for support.

Lydia was back.

In the hospital room, the doctor briefed Trevon.

"It seems like a mild concussion, but we'll need the test results to be sure."

Trevon's expression was serious. "Speed it up. Use the VIP route."

Lydia, stretched out on the gurney, smiled weakly at Trevon. "You're always so kind to me."

Lydia pouted as she continued, "I wasn't paying attention. Who would've thought a bike bump could lead to a concussion? In Ameristan, people usually slow down on their own."

Trevon gave her a fleeting, detached look.

A flicker of worry crossed Lydia's face. "Trevon, with Skylandia's tight deadlines, isn't my accident going to set us back a lot?"

Skylandia was the latest venture from Trevon's gaming empire, Xystos Tech, and Lydia had returned to lead the art on it.

"I won't stay here. I have to get back to work," she declared, attempting to get out of bed.

Trevon was quick to intervene, his hand on her shoulder easing her back down. "Don't be childish."

As the tender scene unfolded, Madeline watched them outside the VIP room with gritted teeth.

Trevon was notorious for his meticulous ways, but he did have a soft spot.

He was not always distant. He just saved all his warmth for Lydia.

Madeline felt a wave of emotion as she teared up. She touched her nose and fought the tears. Without really knowing why, she found herself pulling out her phone and calling Trevon.

In the sterile silence of the hospital room, Trevon's face froze for a moment as he checked his phone, then casually handed it off to his assistant, Simon Taylors.

"Tell her I'm tied up in a meeting."

Madeline's heart clenched as Trevon's annoyed expression flickered across his face.

Simon, moving to the side, answered Madeline's call softly. "Hello, Mrs. Gibson. Mr. Gibson is busy in a meeting. Is there something you need?"

Madeline's lips twitched with a defeated smile. "No, it's nothing. I just hit the wrong button."

Simon frowned. "Mr. Gibson's schedule is packed. Please be more careful in the future, Mrs. Gibson."

The future? Was there even a future to speak of?

Lydia, overhearing Simon, gave Trevon a subtle glance. She casually showed off the pink Hello Kitty bandage on her hand.

Trevon's eyes snapped to it, his voice laced with a hint of longing. "You still haven't kicked that old habit, I see."

Lydia forced a smile. "Well, you know I've always been fond of Hello Kitty."

Their eyes met, and for a moment, the world around them seemed to soften.

Madeline could not stand it any longer. Clutching her phone, she turned around and left.

She thought one night could change things, but it was just wishful thinking.

Despite the autumn season, Redenbaugh City was sweltering, and the hospital's air conditioning was cranked up, sending chills down her spine.

She felt light-headed, as if she were floating on air.

Suddenly, a little boy darted into her path, bumping into her.

Madeline's face went pale as she caught the little boy, but in doing so, she lost her footing and tumbled to the ground.

The fall sent a chill up her spine, and she held her belly, too afraid to move.

The boy, however, started wailing, drawing curious glances from passersby.

His mother rushed over and gave him a quick once-over. When she found him unscathed, she pulled him into a tight embrace before turning to Madeline with fury.

"Can't you watch where you're going? You ran into my baby! How will you make this right?"

Madeline, her mind on the baby she was carrying, bit back her pain and chose not to retaliate. Instead, she made her way to the maternity ward upstairs.

The mother was not having it, yanking on Madeline's arm. "You think you can just hit someone and leave?"

Madeline, nearly tripping over, turned slightly and offered calmly, "Should we review the security footage?"

The woman, clutching her son, stormed off.

Madeline felt her vision darken as she clutched her chest. She leaned against the railing, immobilized.

In the VIP ward, Lydia gazed at Trevon longingly and leaned in for a kiss.

Trevon, who was aloof, felt a wave of nausea as she got close. His vision blurred, and his chest tightened.

He flinched and shoved Lydia away.

"Here's the divorce agreement. Take a look."Trevon, fresh from the hospital, confronted Madeline with a request for divorce.The image of Lydia's hurt look lingered in his mind, leaving him with a sense of resignation.His rejection was not just about his aversion to germs. It was also the sudden sickness and weakness that overtook him.He dismissed it as a one-off, which was not worth worrying about. However, faced with Madeline, the discomfort was undeniable.Madeline, still reeling from her hospital visit, was blindsided by the divorce papers laid out before her.It took a moment for her to find her voice, and when she did, it quivered."Do we really have to end this?""Yes."Madeline's grip tightened, and the question she could not suppress spilled out."Is it because Lydia's back?"Trevon loosened his tie, his face turning to stone. "Didn't I make myself clear three years ago?"He had, and she had accepted it. However…"If... Just if..."Madeline hesitated, biting h

"I was looking out for the Sanders family too," Cilix said as he sipped his water."The Sanders-Gibson family alliance is crucial. Three years by Trevon's side, and what? No kids, no hold on his heart, no benefits for the Sanders family. Now that Lydia's back, along with her bond with Trevon, these issues will vanish. I can even afford better care for your mother."Cilix's duplicity struck Madeline once more.Madeline countered, "Did you forget why Lydia left the country? Or do you think the Gibsons have forgotten too?""That's why we're asking you to initiate the divorce with Trevon," Cilix replied.Madeline saw right through their plot.She would step aside, letting Lydia take the lead, and the Sanders family would reap all the rewards.After a tense silence, Madeline broke the ice. "I'm willing to divorce Trevon, but on one condition. I want my mom's shares—the ones she's entitled to."Cilix instantly became furious.Once upon a time, the Sanders family was a picture of uni

"Mr. Gibson sent me some clothes."Madeline raised an eyebrow. "Again?"Simon's eyes flickered with annoyance as he asked, "Why'd you send Mrs. Yagle's clothes?"Simon referred to Trevon's mom, Riley Yagle—a woman whose kindness was only matched by her absentmindedness.Madeline recalled the ill-fitting, off-brand clothes that Trevon probably ditched without a second thought."Mr. Gibson says, 'Don't get snippy and hold things up,'" Simon relayed with a hint of sternness.Madeline could not help but chuckle, amused by his blind trust. "Lydia told Trevon I picked out the clothes?"Did Trevon need to believe everything Lydia said?Simon rushed her along.Madeline handed him a fresh set of clothes, but her grip lingered as she responded steadily."Simon, you've been Trevon's right-hand man for what, three, four years now? Do you realize why you're still at the bottom rung, just an assistant? You're good at sizing people up by their titles, but that's not really a skill an assis

Madeline's instinct was to snap her laptop shut. "Give me a second."She quickly ended the call and turned to face Trevon. "What's got you home at this hour?"Trevon eyed her hurried movements and washed his hands before replying, "Just needed to pick something up."Madeline responded with a noncommittal hum.His gaze landed on a nearby takeaway box. It was the sour beef and cabbage soup with noodles.It looked just like the one she had had for lunch. Was it really that tasty?A jolt of panic hit Madeline, and she blurted out, "It's for Yeneth, not me."Back when they were newlyweds, Madeline had grabbed some street sausages, and Trevon had gone into a tailspin, bombarding her with articles about the filth of street vendors and the dangers of eating out.Since then, she had avoided eating street food around him.However, she had slipped up and forgotten to stash the evidence.Trevon's chuckle was detached as his eyes drifted to a notebook on the table.Madeline's heart was p

Before Skylar could answer, a sharp snap echoed from the side."Madeline, watch how you talk to my mom!"It was Yale Sanders, Lydia's little brother. With his shoulder-length purple hair and arms sleeved in tattoos, he looked every bit the wannabe gangster.He had been coddled by Skylar all his life, and with the Sanders' wealth, he had gathered a gang of street toughs to back him up. Madeline did not expect him to be there but gave him a cool look and brushed him off.Just then, Cilix descended the stairs, his voice cutting through the air. "Yale!"Yale sulked, his lips puckered as he flopped onto the sofa, clearly annoyed.Cilix motioned for Madeline to take a seat at the dining table."It's not every day we get your sister back home. I figured a family dinner was in order. Have a seat, will you? I had Mom whip up your favorite fish tacos."Skylar quickly dished some out for her.The oily sheen and the subtle fishy scent made Madeline wrinkle her nose and push the plate away

Chapter 7
Each word Yale spat was accompanied by a punch landing on Madeline.Madeline shielded herself with her purse, narrowly avoiding a serious injury. Blinded by anger, she had not thought things through, never imagining Yale would actually hit her.Pregnancy had left her weak, and she could only dodge Yale's vicious blows in a clumsy dance of desperation.The Sanders family seemed petrified by the spectacle, each too scared to even twitch.Cilix wanted to speak, but Skylar cut him off. "What's Yale got, a little muscle? Let her take a hit. It might teach her to listen."Cilix's face darkened as he sat back down.She had written her dad off long ago, but the sting of disappointment was as sharp as ever.As Yale moved in again, Madeline knew she was on her own. With a swift kick, she toppled a chair and snatched a fruit knife from the table, aiming it straight at him."One more step, and I swear I'll stab you!"Yale, thrown off by the chair, nearly slipped.He wiped his mouth and s

Neither Trevon nor Madeline spoke in the car. They both fought against the nausea and dizziness.Trevon, agitated, loosened his tie. "Stay home for the next few days. We'll talk when you've cooled off."Madeline was still sore from the blows she had taken, every movement an effort. She closed her eyes gently, and after a long moment, her voice came out in a whisper."Do you think this is all my fault?"Trevon had never felt so wretched, not even when recovering from the worst injuries of his life. He yanked off his tie."Once we're divorced, you can do whatever you want, and it won't be my problem."He did not care about her pale face, her reasons, or if she was hurt. All he cared about was protecting himself from any fallout.To Trevon, Madeline was nothing more than a caretaker.How laughable was it that she had poured her heart out for three years only to realize it was all one-sided.Madeline turned to gaze at the city lights, her voice barely a breath. "When are we gettin

Chapter 9
Madeline desperately reached out to him. "My stomach hurts. Trevon, please take me to the hospital."Trevon did not need her to tell him her stomach was hurting. He wanted to know why.He could wrap his head around a cold, chest congestion, and feeling sick.However, why stomach pain?Madeline's mouth twitched, and through clenched teeth, she replied, "I got my period."Trevon's face went pale in an instant. He drove her to the hospital himself.Sitting on the hospital bench, Trevon was still coming to terms with the fact that he was actually empathizing with Madeline's menstrual pain.The thought alone made his face grow even darker.He fixed his gaze on the emergency room door, wishing he could somehow open or peer through its solid barrier.Inside, Madeline was struggling for breath. "Doctor, I'm six weeks pregnant. I got into a scuffle tonight, and my stomach's killing me."The doctor took in the bruises on Madeline's face and body, his face turning serious. "Is this dome

Chapter 10
Madeline stopped dead in her tracks, giving Trevon a look filled with mixed emotions, but she did not justify herself."I need to pick up some medicine."The hurt inside was a tangy, bitter taste that she could not wash away. She found herself speechless to defend her actions.Trevon might have been clueless at first about how the Sanders treated her, but three years was long enough to get the picture.The truth was that he just did not care. He would rather stand by Lydia, his chosen ally, while Madeline was cast as the troublesome outsider. Why should she even bother to explain herself?At least there was a silver lining.The doctor had prescribed a week's worth of medication and advised her to wait and see. No bleeding meant no need to panic. Her baby was safe, and that was all that mattered. She would always have her own flesh and blood, no matter what.On the drive back, Trevon's phone rang. It was Lydia."Trevon, my mom passed out because of Madeline. Can you come to the
