Chapter 1

"Aren't there rumors in Altonvale saying Mr. Fuller adores his wife more than life itself? Why is he so cruel to her? Did we accidentally kidnap his mistress or something?"I was beaten by my abductors until my head was covered in blood, yet the Quilton Fuller who once was so affectionate toward me now wished I'd just drop dead. He wrapped his arms lovingly around the bride beside him, acting as if I were just a clingy nuisance who had just been dumped.Back then, Quilton would have done everything he could to look for me. Even when I threw tantrums, he wouldn't have dared to let anything happen to me.He was no longer the lover who would search the world just because he couldn't reach me.He sneered. "Sally is my only bride, and she's the only one I love. Do you actually think you can get away with this pathetic act?" Several kidnappers stood behind me. My fingernails had been pried off, and the pain shook me to the core.These merciless devils originally intended to kill me.

A gut-wrenching pain tore through my abdomen, and the searing sensation seemingly swallowed me whole in an instant.I touched the sticky wetness beneath me, and my mind went completely blank.When Quilton saw the amniotic fluid mixed with large pools of blood beneath me, he looked slightly flustered for a moment.However, he quickly regained his composure and sneered. "Where did you find these extras and fake blood packs?"His sarcasm was bone-chilling, but all I wanted was to save this hard-earned child."The baby… I'm begging you. Please save our baby…" I uttered.The father who once eagerly looked forward to this child's birth now watched this scene with mockery in his eyes."Did you forget that you already aborted the baby two days ago? Now that you see me marrying someone else, you want to use this worthless lie to win me back? Don't think you can manipulate me just because I care about children," Quilton said.I gave up all my pride and begged him in the hope that he woul

Chapter 3

At five months, my already-formed baby was forcibly torn from my womb.I could see the tiny outlines of his features. There wasn't a single part of him I hadn't pictured before, including a round little head and a delicate, upturned nose.When Quilton saw the blood-covered fetus, he froze in place. He staggered forward a couple of steps, but Sally tugged on the hem of his suit.Quilton shoved her off violently. "Didn't you say the prenatal report was fake? How could this be?""She used an AI deepfake software to deceive you! Don't you get it?" Sally shouted, clinging tightly to Quilton.Then, she took out her phone, made a deepfake video of a pregnant woman being cut open, and uploaded a photo of me and the abductors. Soon, a hyper-realistic video appeared.Several of the nearby guests chimed in. "It's true that top AI video creators nowadays can fake anything flawlessly."The wedding guests erupted into an excited frenzy."So Mr. Fuller's ex is that kind of person. First, she

"Ah! Someone, come quickly! Get this bloody prop out of here!" Sally's hysterical scream interrupted Quilton just as he was walking toward me.The moment he heard the word "prop", Quilton snapped back to his senses.Sally clung tightly to Quilton's clothes. She looked terrified as she buried herself in his arms. "Holly is too much, preparing gruesome props like this. Quilton, you know I faint at the sight of blood," she whined.Perhaps because the woman in his arms was startled, but Quilton became furious and roared in rage, "Holly, haven't you made enough of a scene?"He still believed that I was the mastermind behind this whole act.However, I had long lost the ability to respond.After shouting, Quilton returned all of his attention to Sally once more. He gently comforted her while embracing her. "Someone! Sally feels faint from seeing the blood. Get that thing out of here now!"I lay on the ground, barely breathing, as several of Quilton's men walked over. They surrounded me

Quilton stood frozen in place for a long time and just stared at me in a daze. His lips trembled for moments longer before he could finally speak."You… Holly… Stop acting… You win. Holly? I'm scared…"Quilton was no longer the smug man from moments ago. His expression was now visibly crumbling."Stop acting, please?"His hands trembled as he screamed hysterically, "Quick! Call an ambulance, now!"At that moment, the joyous wedding celebrations came to an abrupt stop.Everyone turned to look at Quilton and me.The guests shrieked in horror. "Ah! That's a real person?"The men who had hauled me away earlier were now baffled.Why had Quilton been so indifferent and cursing viciously at me before, yet he now looked like he was on the verge of losing his mind?Sally and her guests still hadn't grasped the situation. They only frowned at my blood-soaked body and regarded me with distaste."What is this filthy thing? Take her out, quickly! This is a day of celebration. Who's tryin

I lay in the hospital's emergency room.Outside the door, Quilton was shouting like a madman. "Save her! If you can't, this hospital can forget about staying open!"The doctors and nurses didn't bother arguing with him. They just treated him like a lunatic.My consciousness was on the verge of fading completely, and scenes of when Quilton and I first met surfaced in my mind.…Quilton and I had been together since college. Back then, Quilton was a star on campus, and he had pursued me whole-heartedly.He told me he had had a crush on me all through high school.As we dated, I discovered that the scion in everyone's eyes turned out to be unexpectedly devoted.Back then, I had followed my remarried mother to her new home. My stepfather and stepbrother didn't like me, and they had once kicked me out of the house in the middle of winter.Quilton offered me money to help me settle down, but I was too young and unwilling to accept a handout.Thus, Quilton followed me every day, h

Did Quilton just say he would give me an explanation? That I should rest well and wait for him?My mind was filled with scene after scene of him and Sally being intimate at the wedding. In the ten years I had been with Quilton, scenes like this had played out every single day.I turned my head and dialed for my mother, who was overseas.When Mom found out about how my stepfather and stepbrother treated me back then, she had decisively divorced my stepfather.After Quilton and I got married, I had wanted to bring Mom over to live with us. But she had said she wanted to travel abroad, so I gave her some money.When the call went through, I said, "Hello? Mom? I want to go to Endoria to see you."Mom heard my choked-up voice and replied, "Come over, sweetheart."Since I was a child, I had seen how my biological father had treated my mother terribly as well as my stepfather's true colors. That was why I had always feared marriage and intimacy between a man and a woman.However, Quil

Sally thought Quilton had always loved her. She thought it was only because I had stood in the way that they couldn't be together.It turned out Quilton had never loved her at all.Quilton called the doctor over and said, "Abort this child. I don't want it."Sally shook her head. "We had such a hard time conceiving this child. You know I have a body that doesn't conceive easily.""Cut the crap. I've been giving you aborticide for ten years. You're nothing but a tool for my release. Can you stop deluding yourself?" Quilton snapped."Get rid of the child. I never wanted it from the start."Sally refused to abort the child, and Quilton didn't argue further.On the day Sally was discharged, Quilton had people block her in an alley. They beat her until she miscarried, then cut her stomach open.The baby wasn't even fully formed, yet they still ripped the flesh from her belly.I knew Quilton had done all of this just to beg for my forgiveness. He had recorded everything and sent the
