A Love Built on Deception のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 9

I gripped the pregnancy test report, and my body slumped in the wheelchair as an uncontrollable shiver ran through me. The joy and excitement I had felt just moments ago plummeted into an abyss.I wanted to convince myself that I had misheard. However, the scene before me was like a thousand razor-sharp arrows piercing my heart.Zander Lewis mockingly said, "Sean, don't you think you've gone too far with this act for Natalia Chastain? Are you sure you haven't caught feelings for her? You keep saying she doesn't matter, but you're obviously nervous. Otherwise, why would you ditch a multi-million-dollar project to bring her to the hospital?"Sean Walsh remained unfazed by Zander's teasing. His expression was indifferent as he replied, "If I didn't bring her here, how else would I confirm she got pregnant just as I planned? If I didn't keep up with the medication for her useless legs, she might stand up one day. What happens then?"He continued, saying, "There are only two types of wo

I nodded silently, my gaze fixed on Sean, still saying nothing. If this had been before, when there was no mysterious call pulling him away, he might have noticed my mood. He would have asked questions, tried to figure out what was wrong, and done everything he could to make me smile.However, all his attention was on his phone. His lies were getting sloppier, full of loopholes he did not even bother to cover up.Sean rushed off in a hurry, but instead of leaving the hospital, he went straight into the VIP maternity ward. That was when I saw Jenna, the woman who had once competed with me for everything.Sean, who had always been cold and distant, looked completely different. His expression was soft, and his every move was cautious and gentle.Jenna pouted, her voice dripping with playful grievance. "Oh? Sean, you've finally decided to visit me? I was starting to think that now that Natalia is pregnant, you only have eyes for her and the baby. You almost forgot about me, didn't you?

Sean could not focus on anything else—panic surged through him as he rushed out the door. His face was clouded with tension, his mind a whirlwind of anxiety, unease, and fear.He called Natalia repeatedly, but every attempt was met with the same message—her phone was off. Even his texts failed to go through, each returning with a red exclamation mark.He mumbled, "T—this can't be happening. Talia wouldn't block me, would she?"Jenna, who had woken up, ran after him and grabbed his arm, refusing to let him leave. She shouted, "Sean! You're going to look for Natalia, aren't you? I won't let you go!"Sean, still frantic, suddenly froze as a thought hit him. His expression darkened, and he shoved Jenna's hand away, his voice sharp and accusing."What the hell happened? How did Natalia lose the baby? Did you say something to her? You've been clinging to me since yesterday. Was it on purpose? What the hell did you do? Why is Natalia gone?"Jenna's eyes flashed with guilt, but she still

Sean did not stop, not even when Jenna screamed threats behind him. However, the moment he stepped out of the hospital, he was lost all over again.Where was he supposed to look for Natalia?Fear gnawed at his chest, suffocating him. He had not slept properly in days, but pure terror overshadowed the exhaustion.He realized that Natalia knew—she had known everything. That was why she left without a word. Before coming to confront Jenna, he had convinced himself that Natalia was just angry and throwing a fit, that she was just upset that he had not spent enough time with her.He thought that if he put in the effort, showered her with attention, and loved her enough, she would return to him.He thought they still had time, believing that they still had the baby and that they still had a future together as a loving family of three.Yet, the reality was far from that. Sean could not even recall the nonsense he had said to Zander that day. He could not bear to imagine how shattered Na

I nodded in agreement at Declan's offer to join me. This trip was about settling the final score, and once this was over, I could finally move on.After Zander made his public statement, the first thing he did was file for divorce from Jenna. The fallout was messy, and they had an all-out fight in the hospital.Zander even demanded a paternity test the same day. The results? The baby was neither his nor Sean's.The Lewis family wasted no time kicking Jenna out, cutting all ties with her. At the same time, they issued a formal apology to me.However, Jenna refused to go down alone. With nowhere left to turn, she latched onto Sean and begged him to take her in.In the pouring rain, she knelt on the ground with the baby in her arms, hysterically sobbing as she pleaded for him not to abandon her.However, Sean was merciless. Without even looking back, he got in his car and drove away, leaving her kneeling on the pavement, screaming through her tears.Meanwhile, Walsh Corporation was
