Chapter 1

I was pinned to the ground, held down so tightly I couldn't move. My son's cries filled the air, and my tears streamed down uncontrollably.But Xavier Smith acted as if he couldn’t see me. Calmly, he placed the camera directly on the table.Then, just like before, he took our son's hand and said in a gentle voice, “Lucas, be good. Don’t be scared. Daddy won’t let anything happen to you.”Yet as I looked at the sharp knives laid out on the table, fear gripped me. I struggled with all my strength, trying to break free.But it was useless.They held me down even harder as I turned to Xavier, my face full of desperation and pleading. “No, no! Xavier, I’m begging you, please don’t! Lucas is your son—your own flesh and blood! You can’t do this to him!”But he acted as if he didn’t hear me. Instead, he tied Lucas’s legs securely with a rope.Only when Lucas was completely restrained did he finally speak. His voice was steady, as if he had already made up his mind. “Summer, I know

However, Xavier had already raised the cleaver. Without hesitation, he brought it down on Lucas’s right leg. “Ah!” I screamed, my voice sharp with terror. I could only watch as the blade sliced through Lucas’s flesh, cutting straight through bone. Blood splattered everywhere. The pain was too much. He didn’t even have time to cry out before his small body went limp. He passed out instantly. I stared in shock, frozen, my heart feeling as if it had been slashed open, the agony spreading through every inch of my body. It hurt. It hurt so much. So, so much. But Xavier acted as if he saw none of it. He gripped the cleaver again and aimed at Lucas’s other leg. Only when both legs were severed did he finally stop. He wiped the blood off his hands and quickly wrapped Lucas’s wounds with a bandage. When he looked up at me, his expression softened with guilt. “Summer, I know this isn’t fair to you or to our son. But I just… I can’t let anything happen to Wendy.“Do

Chapter 3

After hours of emergency surgery, Lucas was finally saved.He spent three days in the ICU before being moved to a regular ward.During that time, Xavier never called—not even once. I didn’t care.All I could hear were the doctor’s words, echoing in my mind.“The surgery was successful, but there are a lot of nerves in the legs. Healing won’t happen overnight.“He’ll likely need long-term rehabilitation. As his parents, you’ll need to be prepared.”Hope flared in me. “Will he be able to walk again?” I asked immediately.The doctor hesitated, his expression heavy with uncertainty. “It will be… very difficult. But if the recovery goes well, there’s a chance.” His words crushed whatever little hope I had left. But when I looked at Lucas lying in that hospital bed, pale and fragile, I refused to give up. From the beginning, all I ever wanted was for him to grow up safe and happy. Even if he would never be like other children, he was still my most precious boy. Just then

Shock flashed in Xavier’s eyes. His face twisted with disbelief. “What did you just say?” I lifted my head and met his gaze, my eyes void of the love they once held. Now, there was only hatred. Word by word, I repeated myself. “I said, Xavier, we’re done.“From this moment on, neither Lucas nor I have anything to do with you.“Now, take your precious childhood sweetheart and get out.” I made sure to emphasize 'childhood sweetheart', my voice dripping with sarcasm. Xavier’s expression darkened instantly. He stared at me, his gaze unreadable, his emotions hidden beneath a storm. “Summer Carter, you should know that playing hard to get won’t work on me.” I hadn’t even responded when Wendy suddenly laced her fingers with his, stepping forward with a smug, taunting smile. “Summer, I think you’re misunderstanding something.“I know Xavier hurt Lucas trying to save me, but he and I…” Before she could finish, Xavier suddenly yanked his hand away. His face turne

Chapter 5

I never wanted to see Xavier again. But after Lucas was discharged from the hospital, the first thing we did was return to what was once our home. What I didn’t expect was to walk through that door and come face-to-face with Xavier and Wendy. The moment the door opened, Wendy was sitting in Xavier’s lap, draped in a sheer nightgown. She looked alluring and full of charm.Our eyes met. Wendy’s gaze was filled with smug satisfaction, while Xavier, on the other hand, immediately pushed her aside.Instinctively, he rushed to explain, “Summer, don’t misunderstand. Wendy was scared staying alone.“There’s an extra room next door, so I let her move in for now. Just now, she got spooked, and that’s the only reason I was holding her.“It’s not what you think.” I didn’t respond. Instead, I stepped aside, dodging his outstretched arms, and motioned for the people behind me to enter. When Xavier saw the movers carrying in boxes, his expression darkened. His voice was tense.

Chapter 6

Before leaving, I took the security footage from the basement—the memory card that contained the entire recording of Lucas losing his legs.It might never be of any use, but the evidence was there, clear and undeniable.Back when Lucas was fighting for his life in surgery, I had wanted to seek help. But at the time, I had no solid proof.But now, even with solid evidence in my hands, I never imagined that no one would be willing to help me.It didn’t matter that Lucas had been officially declared disabled.It didn’t matter that I had undeniable proof.And before I could even settle down in a new place, Xavier’s mother found me first. When I opened the door, she stood there, poised and elegant, her makeup flawless. I knew she had come prepared. Before I could say a word, she set a bank card in front of me and spoke gently. “We meet again, dear.”I sat on the other side of the table, quietly studying the woman in front of me.She was poised and elegant—detached and di

Chapter 7

At that moment, tears of joy slipped from the corners of my eyes. I was the only one who truly knew how much Lucas had suffered during his recovery—every tear he shed, every ounce of pain he endured.Watching him slowly get better made me happier than anything. But even so, there were nights when I would wake up in a cold sweat, haunted by nightmares. In my dreams, Xavier had me and Lucas tied up. Right before my eyes, he raised a knife and slashed at Lucas again and again. Blood splattered everywhere, flesh torn apart, until Lucas was unrecognizable. Then, slowly, Xavier turned to me. Ignoring my desperate pleas, he lifted the blade and severed my head in one clean stroke. And in my final moments, as my vision blurred, I saw Wendy standing there. Her foot was crushing Lucas’s lifeless body as she smirked. “Summer Carter, did you really think someone like you could marry into the Smith family? Keep dreaming.”Every time I jolted awake from that nightmare, m

Chapter 8

The next day, while I was at the hospital with Lucas for his rehabilitation, I ran into Xavier again.And, of course, his so-called childhood sweetheart, Wendy.She looked much thinner than before. The two of them stood outside a hospital room, arguing loudly enough to draw a crowd.I had no interest in getting involved.I turned to leave with Lucas, but Wendy spotted me.Her eyes burned with fury as she stormed toward me, her hand raised, ready to slap me across the face.But before she could land the hit, I kicked her hard in the stomach.She fell to the ground with a gasp, completely stunned. She hadn’t expected me to fight back. Pointing at me, she shrieked, “Summer Carter, you bitch!“How dare you lay a hand on me! Do you have a death wish?” I didn’t hold back this time.Setting Lucas down, I swung hard, slapping Wendy across the face—just like she had done to me so many times before.Standing over her, I smirked.“And what are you going to do about it?
