Chapter 1

I turned off my phone and glanced at the meal I had spent the entire day preparing. Once steaming hot, it had grown cold and hardened over time.I sent Caleb Harper a message on Messenger.Me: [Are you really not planning to explain the situation with Yvonne?]He replied almost instantly with a question mark, followed by several voice messages, each precisely a minute long.I snapped a photo of the table, the carefully prepared dishes still neatly arranged, and sent it to him.Me: [This is the birthday dinner I made for you, and this is how you repay me?]Three or four seconds later, his response came through.Caleb: [Reheat the food for me. Yvonne says your cooking smells delicious, and she can't eat anything cold now that she's pregnant.]I stared at the message, the words so familiar yet now feeling utterly foreign. Did Caleb even realize what he was saying?Yvonne Olsen was pregnant.And me?I sank onto the sofa, resting a trembling hand on my stomach. A tiny life was gr

At the hospital, I handled everything alone—registration, waiting in line, and undergoing the necessary tests.After an exhausting hour, my name was finally called.The doctor assured me it was nothing serious. I was simply overworked, and my body was struggling to keep up. He advised me to go home and get plenty of rest.As I walked out, pale and unsteady, a kind nurse guided me to a seat in the hallway.Just as I sat down, I noticed Caleb carefully helping Yvonne out of the elevator."Yvonne, oxygen therapy is excellent for the baby's brain development. If you'd like, I'll bring you here every day," he said gently.Yvonne smiled blissfully and kissed him on the cheek. "Caleb, you're so good to me! But… won't your wife get jealous?"His affectionate smile vanished, replaced by irritation. "Why mention her? She's nothing but a useless hen who can't even lay eggs. She has no right to feel jealous!"She's always suspicious of everything. Honestly, if I had real feelings for you,

Chapter 3

I trembled as I looked into Caleb's cold, determined eyes. So, this was how the man I had shared a bed with for years truly saw me."If that's how you feel about me, there's nothing more to say. Let's get a divorce," I said quietly, forcing myself to stay composed.His eyes flashed with surprise, but it was fleeting.He crouched down, grabbed my chin roughly with one hand, and raised the other as though ready to strike me. "Don't think I won't hit you just because you're a woman!"Yvonne just wants a child! What's wrong with me helping her? You sit at home all day doing nothing but overthinking, and now you have the nerve to talk about divorce?"Forget it! Don't even dream about it! Divorce? How would that make me look? In this lifetime, I'll only ever be a widower, never divorced!"He released my chin with a sharp glare and turned to Yvonne.The abrupt shove sent me stumbling backward, landing painfully on the ground. A dull ache spread through my lower abdomen, and cold sweat

Chapter 4

The doctor cast a dark look at Caleb before snapping, "Stop wasting my time and let me save this patient! You're holding your mistress and worrying about someone else's life!"With that, I was wheeled toward the operating room.In a panic, Caleb hastily set Yvonne down and ran after me, grabbing my hand."Laura, I didn't know you were pregnant. I swear I didn't mean for this to happen. If the baby's gone... we can try for another one."I pulled my hand away coldly, wiping it on the sheet as though his touch had tainted me. Then I shut my eyes, refusing to look at him.When I ignored him, his fear grew. He shook my arm desperately, but the nurses held him back and barred him from entering the operating room.Standing outside the doors, he shouted frantically, "Laura! Don't be scared! I'm right here. I won't leave until you're safe!"I could hear his voice, raw and desperate, but it stirred no emotion in me.Where was he when I needed him most?When I was in pain, he was holding

Chapter 5

Caleb glared at Yvonne as she walked in, cutting off her words mid-sentence, "Why haven't you gone home yet? Didn't I tell you to stay away from Laura and me?"Furious, he shoved her out and locked the door."Laura, I won't divorce you." His voice trembled as he knelt beside me. "I know I've made mistakes, but please, give me another chance."His hand, still resting on my stomach, quivered uncontrollably. His bloodshot eyes brimmed with regret, his hoarse voice barely above a whisper."I admit I've been wrong... so wrong. But I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you. Laura, I can't lose you. The only person I've ever truly loved is you!"I looked at the face of the man I had loved for over a decade. Memories of our happy times together flooded my mind, but they were overshadowed by the pain he had caused me.Our child was gone because of him, never even getting the chance to see the world.I did not hate him. I just did not care anymore.Yvonne was still pounding on t

Chapter 6

After I slapped Yvonne, she raised her hand to strike back, but Caleb caught her wrist mid-air.He turned to me, covering his reddened cheek, and asked with concern, "Laura, does your hand hurt? If hitting me makes you feel better, go ahead. Slap me as many times as you need."Come home with me. I don't care how you vent your anger. I just need you to stay."The way he looked at me, as if his love was unwavering, made my stomach churn with disgust."You had the nerve to bring Yvonne to our divorce proceedings, and now you're pretending to be deeply in love? Spare me."She's carrying your child. The three of you make a perfect little family. Why not embrace it?"My words knocked the air out of him. His body swayed slightly, as if he couldn't believe I would push him toward someone else.One of the staff members, who had been silently observing the drama, spoke up. "Hey, buddy, if I'm not mistaken, you cheated during the marriage, right? How can you have the gall to stop her from

Chapter 7

As the drama spiraled online, Yvonne and Caleb became public enemies, scorned by everyone.In a desperate bid to salvage her reputation, Yvonne started a livestream, playing the victim."Caleb and I have been friends for years. He only donated his sperm so I could have a child. I never intended to ruin his family," she insisted."I've decided not to get married in this lifetime. I just wanted a child of my own. Is that so wrong?" Sniffling dramatically, she added, "Laura Carter insisted on the divorce. Maybe it's because she already had someone else on the side. Who's to say her child was even Caleb's? How else could a simple push cause her to fall like that?"Her tearful performance won over a wave of unsuspecting viewers.[No wonder Laura was so eager to leave. She must've been cheating!][When I was pregnant, I still worked. How could she be so fragile? Guilty conscience, clearly.]…The tide of public opinion quickly turned against me. I went from being the victim to bein

Chapter 8

I never expected Caleb's obsession to escalate into something so dangerous.Desperate to win me back, he devised an unthinkable plan.He lured Yvonne to his home with promises of a lavish meal.Unaware of his true intentions, she entered without suspicion. After drinking the beverage he prepared, she collapsed onto the sofa.Hours later, she awoke in agony as blood spread from her lower body.-Meanwhile, I remained unaware, meeting a client at a coffee shop near my office.To my surprise, the difficult client turned out to be an old high-school classmate, Matthew Wynn.Seeing his familiar face, unchanged by time, brought a wave of nostalgia."You haven't changed at all since high school," I remarked.He smiled and poured me a glass of lemon water. "Neither have you. How have you been?"For a moment, I hesitated before sharing the story of the past few years. By now, I could talk about Caleb without feeling the sting of old wounds.As I spoke, Matthew's smile deepened, and

Chapter 9

To avoid being strangled to death, I tried to calm him down. "Caleb, you're hurting me! What did you do to Yvonne?"I even forced out a couple of tears to appear pitiful.Upon seeing me speak, his grip loosened as he glanced at the red marks on my neck."Laura, I got rid of her baby myself," he revealed. "Only you can give me a child. Come back with me. I'll make sure you get pregnant right away! We'll have our own child, I promise!"He grabbed my hand in a frenzy, tugging me toward the door.I suppressed the urge to recoil and subtly signaled to Matthew to call the police while keeping Caleb calm."Caleb, you say you got rid of the child, but I need to see it with my own eyes. You've lied to me so many times before," I claimed.To my horror, my words didn't anger him. Instead, he broke into a foolish grin. "It's at home. I'll take you there right now."Matthew's face darkened as he observed the scene. While I was ushered into Caleb's car, Matthew discreetly dialed the police.

Chapter 10

Just as Caleb's hand reached for the last button on my shirt, I heard the front door burst open.I opened my eyes to see Matthew leading the police, who stormed in and quickly subdued Caleb.He struggled against them, shouting indignantly, "Let me go! She's my wife! It's my right to sleep with her!"You call yourselves the police? Barging into my house like this? I'll sue you for trespassing!"The officers ignored his protests, snapping handcuffs onto his wrists and dragging him out.Yvonne, pale and bloodied, was carried to an ambulance and rushed to the hospital.Matthew ran to me and pulled me into his arms. "Laura, thank God you're okay. I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to you."I collapsed against him, too drained to even lift my head.-I later learned that when Caleb brought me home, I had discreetly dropped my keys on the ground.Matthew had noticed the signal and immediately called the police, guiding them to the house just in time.A few days later, th
