Melodramatic

At my wedding, the giant screen that's supposed to show our photos suddenly switches to the groom's assistant's prenatal exam report. It clearly shows that he is the child's father. The assistant looks flustered and panicked as she rushes to apologize to me. The groom, on the other hand, stays perfectly calm and offers an explanation like it's no big deal. "I took pity on her because she got pregnant out of wedlock, so I went with her to the appointment and left my name. I'm going to be her kid's godfather, too." The day of her exam was also the day I went for my very first prenatal checkup. Everyone thinks I'll break down, but I simply reach up and tear off my veil. Then, I calmly schedule an abortion. "She really is pitiful, being pregnant without a partner by her side. She deserves this wedding more than I do." Then, I raise my champagne glass to congratulate him. "Congratulations to you both. May your shotgun wedding be a happy one, especially since it's happening with a bun in the oven."

Chapter 1
I stood on the stage alone in my wedding dress. I turned to the guests and gave a deep bow."Thank you all for attending my wedding. Unfortunately, there have been some last-minute changes. "Bianca York will now take over Sandra Zimmer as the bride. I sincerely apologize, and please enjoy the night."The room fell completely silent.Gordon Abbott—the groom—stormed onto the stage and snatched the glass from my hand. "Sandra, what are you talking about? Today's our wedding. That was just a mistake!" His expression was unmistakably dark.Upon hearing his words, I looked him straight in the eyes. With frustration simmering within me, I asked hoarsely, "Your assistant has worked with you for seven years. She was always meticulous with her work. "Yet, she replaced our photos at our wedding with her prenatal screening report! You think that was a mistake?"He said nothing. I knew he was not stupid. He must have known Bianca did it on purpose. But even at our wedding, he still chose

Noticing the nervousness in her eyes, I reached out to comfort her. "There's no need for that anymore. Let's go home."On the way back, Lilia was furious when she heard the whole story. She wanted to turn back to tear Gordon's wedding apart.However, I stopped her. After all, I would prefer to end our seven years of relationship with dignity.Lilia's heart ached for me. "Gordon promised to give you the best of everything when he proposed! To love you, protect you, and care for you for the rest of his life! "And now he's humiliating you with another woman? He's going to hell!" she exclaimed furiously.My chest tightened, and my face grew paler by the second. Still, I could not utter a single word. I had no family, so I lived with Gordon for seven years. I met him when I was 18. He told me there are tons of men in the world with more money and power than he, but no one could ever lay a finger on me unless he was dead.When I was 22, I had just graduated from university.

I did not move. "Have you thought about our breakup yet?" The moment I said it, his expression darkened, like I had flipped a switch."What's that supposed to mean? I bought you a gift and apologized sincerely. You're still not over it, are you?" Upon seeing me nod expressionlessly, he frowned deeper. "Sandra, I've been more than patient with you. Do not try to threaten me with this. "With you carrying my child, who else would ever want you if we broke up? At least think about the baby. You wouldn't want your child to be born without a father, would you?"His phone lit up before I could reply. It was from Bianca. "Mr. Abbott, my stomach's been feeling weird. Can you come over to my home?"He noticed that I saw the message. His voice tightened as he rushed to explain. "She's been running up and down for you during the wedding. She's pregnant and lives alone. I'll have to check on her to make sure she's okay. You stay put and calm down, okay?"Then, he left with hurried steps.

Her stomach hit the floor with a sickening thud. She curled up in agony, her whole body in immense pain."Bianca!" Gordon's expression changed instantly. He shoved me aside and rushed toward Bianca to lift her up. His voice cracked with fury. "Sandra, you want to take it out on me, fine. But she's pregnant like you! How could you shove her like that? What if something happened to her?"Tears welled in Bianca's eyes as she started to defend me. "Please don't blame her. It's my fault for losing balance. If I'd stayed further from her, this wouldn't have happened."The more she explained, the darker Gordon's expression grew. "Sandra Zimmer. Apologize now!""She faked her fall." My stomach twisted in pain as I steadied myself. His shove had nearly sent me crashing to the floor. "I never even touched her. It was all an act by her. What do you want me to apologize for?" Gordon clenched his teeth and asked, "You mean she's willing to risk her unborn child just to lie about you? You'

The doctor who had performed my surgery rushed in to perform an emergency rescue. The moment he saw the scene, his face twisted in fury."Are you even human?" he barked at Gordon. "She just had an abortion! She can't exert herself physically at all! This is how you torment her?"Gordon froze, staring at the blood pooling on the floor. All that was heard was the doctor's shouts echoing in his ears. He stood there just like that, stunned.As if something inside him snapped, his hands started trembling, and his eyes darted around in panic. "There's no way!" he cried. " The baby was still fine last night… How was this possible? How could she bring herself to it?"The doctors fought for five hours to save me.When they wheeled me out of the operating room, Gordon came running down the corridor. He looked pale, furious, and lost. There was something unhinged surfacing in his eyes. I had never seen him like that before.He stepped closer slowly and suddenly slammed his hand down on

Chapter 6
His excuses were the same as always—meetings and endless work. But I no longer cared.I started preparing for the study trip abroad with Lilia. Tomorrow, I would finally leave the place I had lived for more than 20 years. I never thought I would spend my last night here in a hospital.In the middle of the night, the door to my ward creaked open. Gordon walked in quietly and stood by my bedside, staring down at me."I'm sorry, Sandra…" His voice was soft, tinged with guilt. He stood there, waiting, hoping I would wake up and respond to him.I had no interest in pretending to sleep. I opened my eyes and looked at him. "There's nothing to apologize for. It is all in the past now.""Yeah," he mumbled, his voice trembling with hope. "It's all in the past. Sandra, I'll make it up to you, I promise."He still wanted to say something, but I cut him off with a gentle smile. "I'm tired, Gordon. Let's talk tomorrow.""I'll stay here with you tonight.""I want to be alone. Go home to get s

The repeated blows on Gordon felt like an invisible hand had grasped tightly around his heart, not allowing him to gasp for air. He kept going through every possible way to reach me frantically, trying to find a trace of me. Still, nothing came up.He could not understand how I could leave him just like that. He collapsed to the floor like a lost child, arms wrapped around his head, sobbing. This time, he was truly broken.Just as he fumbled to call his assistant to investigate where I had gone, it buzzed in his hand. It was from Bianca.Her voice came through weakly with pain. "Mr. Abbott, my stomach hurts all of a sudden. Can you come with me to the hospital?""Get lost!"Upon hearing the disgusting tone, Gordon hung up without a second thought. He started to investigate where I went on his own.Suddenly, it hit him. He bolted toward the ward where Lilia's mother was staying.He remembered that I had only one close friend. No matter what, I would never abandon the girl I had

Gordon stumbled home at midnight, lost and helpless. From a distance, he noticed the lights in his apartment were on. A flicker of hope sparked in his eyes.He rushed forward and threw the door open. "Sandra, I knew you would not leave me."But the second he saw Bianca in his home, his expression darkened instantly. "What are you doing in my house?"Bianca had prepared dinner with a table full of food. She said with a smile on her face, "I heard Sandra left. You must not have eaten all day. So I thought I'd make some of your favorite dishes—"Gordon stormed toward her and choked her by the throat before she could even finish. His voice was low and laced with dangerous intent. "Did you not hear me? Why are you in my house?"Bianca's knees buckled at the vicious look on Gordon's face. However, she still forced a flattering smile. "I remembered the code from when I helped bring you files. I just wanted to do something nice—"That only made it worse. Gordon's face twisted in disgus

"I was wrong, Sandra. Please, will you forgive me?" Gordon's voice trembled as he continued, "I've already fired Bianca. We can start over. You once said you'd love me for a lifetime, that you would never leave me."I could not help but chuckle. "We already broke up, Mr. Abbott. There is nothing between us anymore. I hope you can at least show some basic respect and keep your distance."That made him lose his composure completely."I only meant to do a good thing! Why won't you just forgive me? I know I handled things badly, but I never actually cheated on you!"I looked at him in silence until he avoided my gaze, flustered."Gordon, when will you understand that emotional betrayal is still betrayal? When you used work as an excuse to spend time with another woman, you had already betrayed our relationship.""Is there really no way back?" Gordon asked with red eyes.He was the one who cheated on me and hurt me. Yet now, he looked like the whole world was slipping away from him
