last update Petsa ng paglalathala: 2026-03-12 19:11:12
When Margot announced the witness, I immediately knew that something was wrong.

“A member of the Dhark household staff.”

The words had barely left her mouth before I realized who she was talking about.

Camilla.

For a moment, I thought I had misheard.

Camilla had worked for my family longer than most people in that courtroom had been alive.

She had been there when my father still ran the company. She had watched the mansion change hands, watched generations pass through its halls.

Why would she drag her up there just to ask those few questions? This author makes me tired!

  • The Wife He Threw Away    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY-THREE_ CLAIRE’S POV

    I woke up slowly. For a few seconds, I didn’t know where I was. Until I felt the warmth beside me. I opened my eyes to see Lucian still asleep beside me.His face was turned slightly toward me, his dark hair messy against the pillow. I smiled. Yesterday came rushing back to me—the ultrasound, Lucian’s stunned expression, the tear that had slipped down his cheek, his arms around me. The memory of how he had carried me like I was the most precious thing in the world, and his voice when he had promised to protect me... to protect our baby. I placed a hand over my stomach. There was still nothing to feel—nothing to see. But I knew there was a tiny life inside me. Our baby. I couldn’t stop smiling. I turned onto my side and watched Lucian sleep. It was strange seeing him this peaceful. The man who carried the weight of a company like Dhark Holdings on his shoulders looked completely different when he slept. Younger. Softer. Almost boyish. His hand suddenly mo

  • The Wife He Threw Away    TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY-TWO_ CLAIRE’S POV

    Lucian stared at me. I had never seen him look so completely lost. His fingers tightened around the ultrasound photograph. “You’re…” His voice cracked. He swallowed, and tried again. “You’re pregnant?” I nodded. “Six weeks.” His eyes dropped to the photograph again. “Six weeks,” he repeated. I watched the realization slowly settle over him. The man who could negotiate billion-dollar deals without blinking suddenly looked like he had forgotten how to form a sentence. “Six weeks,” he said again. I laughed softly through my tears. “Yes.” Lucian looked at me again. And then something happened that I had never expected. A tear slipped down his cheek. My heart shattered. I had never seen Lucian cry. “Lucian…” He quickly wiped it away, almost embarrassed. “I don’t…” He laughed softly. “I don’t even know why I’m crying.” I stepped closer. “I think it’s because you’re happy.” He stared at me, then he pulled me into his arms. I barely had time to laugh be

  • The Wife He Threw Away    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY-ONE_ CLAIRE’S POV

    The moment Laurel dropped me at the Dhark mansion, I knew something was different. The house was too quiet. Usually, there was always someone moving around. A housekeeper, a security guard, sometimes just someone carrying something through the halls. Tonight, there was nothing. I stepped inside. “Hello?” No answer. I frowned. “Camilla?” I called again. Still nothing. I turned toward the living room. It was empty. My heart suddenly began to beat faster. I took another careful step. “Lucian?” “I’m here.” I jumped. I turned around to see Lucian, standing at the end of the hallway. And smiled. The moment I saw him, something inside me loosened. He walked toward me. “You’re late.” “I know.” His eyes moved over me. “You okay?” I nodded. “I’m fine.” His gaze lingered on my face. “You don’t look fine.” I smiled. “I’m just tired.” He seemed unconvinced. But instead of questioning me, he reached for my hand. “Come with me.”

  • The Wife He Threw Away    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY_ CLAIRE’S POV

    I couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was watching me. It followed me through every corridor of Sinclair & Co. It followed me into every meeting, into every conversation. Every time I looked toward the windows, I found myself wondering if there was someone standing across the street. I tried to tell myself I was being paranoid. After all, I had spent the morning discovering that I was six weeks pregnant. I should have been thinking about the baby. About Lucian and how I was going to tell him. I should have been thinking about the future I had never thought I’d imagined for so long, but never thought I’d have. Instead, I kept thinking about that envelope. ‘Congratulations, Claire.’ ‘Six weeks already.’ I couldn’t get my mind off that photograph of me leaving the hospital that morning. Someone had been watching me. Someone had followed me. And somehow, they already knew I was pregnant. For several minutes, I stared at the documents on my desk. But the words

  • The Wife He Threw Away    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-NINE_ CLAIRE’S POV

    By the time I arrived at Sinclair & Co., I was still smiling. I couldn’t seem to stop. Every time my mind returned to the ultrasound image tucked safely inside my handbag, something warm spread through my chest. Six weeks. I was six weeks pregnant. I was going to have a baby. For the first time in years, the future didn’t look like something I had to be nervous about. It looked beautiful. I walked through the firm’s reception area with a smile that apparently, even Daniel noticed. He looked up from his desk. “Okay?” I stopped. “Okay what?” He narrowed his eyes. “You’re smiling like a cat with milk.” “Am I not allowed to smile?” “You are.” He leaned back in his chair. “But that particular smile usually means something’s happened.” “Nothing happened.” “Liar.” Daniel mouthed. I laughed softly. “Get back to work, Daniel.” He grinned. “Okay, Mrs. Dhark.” I walked away before he could ask anything else. I wasn’t ready to tell anyone. Not yet. Lucia

  • The Wife He Threw Away    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-EIGHT_ CLAIRE’S POV

    I left the mansion immediately after breakfast. I told myself it was because I had work to do— that wasn’t entirely a lie. But the real reason was sitting inside my handbag. The pregnancy test. I had barely spoken during breakfast. I found myself brushing my fingers against the strap of my handbag every few minutes, as though I needed to reassure myself that it was still there. I had spent years imagining what it would feel like to walk into a hospital and hear a doctor tell me I was pregnant. Now that I was actually doing it, I found it terrifying. What if the test had been wrong? I’ve heard of a few cases like that. What if— I forced myself to stop. I was doing it again; creating disasters before they even happened. So after breakfast with Lucian, I drove to the hospital. Alone. ⸻ The waiting room was surprisingly quiet. I sat there with my hands folded over my handbag, watching people come and go. A tall woman walked past me holding a sleeping newbor
