"Mrs. Parker, the doctor already mentioned that you have a high risk of miscarriage. With how worked up you were, there's no way we can save the baby now. It's gone. "Mr. Parker's going to be angry. He's wanted a child for ten whole years."After William Parker's lover, Emily Harris, left, I got furious—so much so that I had a miscarriage.My best friend, Isabelle Brooks, drove me to the hospital. She comforted me the whole way there, terrified that I would be unable to get over what happened to the baby.She was the only one who knew how badly I wanted to have the child. The baby had been all I cared about ever since I got pregnant. Since I was at high risk of miscarriage, I had stayed home for the past few months of the pregnancy, taking prescriptions every day for the sake of the child.William had been so excited that he cried when he found out I was pregnant. He declared that he would never forgive anyone if they made me angry and caused me to miscarry. However, he ended up

William excused himself once the party was over, saying that he had something to do. I figured he was probably going to spend time with Emily, who was hiding in that room.Not long after, I heard two gunshots coming from the top of the hill. Feeling numb, I looked up only to see strangers approaching me.I stared at the people before me as they took guns out and aimed at my head.Just when I thought I was going to die, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of me. When the armed men saw that it was William, they fired a few shots in succession.William quickly picked me up in his arms and slid down the hillside, holding onto me tightly the entire time. He had been shot in the left part of his chest, and his body was all bloody from being scratched by the gravel.Even then, all he did was protect me as he muttered, "Don't be scared."The culprits were quickly subdued. It turned out that they were spies who had snuck in, and they never expected to run into me head-on.A few

"What?" A chill shot through William's heart when he heard that. Why had Stephanie gone so far away?The tension that had been building up all afternoon finally caused him to snap. He immediately teared up and started frantically calling Stephanie, but he never got a response. In the end, all he heard was that the number was no longer in service.Then, another one of his subordinates rushed in, looking at William with a panicked expression. "We found records that Mrs. Parker had a miscarriage at the hospital, Mr. Parker."What was going on? What was all of this?William felt like his brain was about to explode. Had Stephanie really left just like that? Did Stephanie not want him anymore?That was when Stephanie suddenly sent him a bunch of messages. There was a voice recording of her conversation with Emily, a recording of when Emily called her, and a screen recording of the wedding ceremony.By the time William tried to text back, he got a message saying that he had been blocked

After William left, I got a full refund for the tour I signed up for. All they asked was that William didn't cause them any trouble. I used the money to rent a house in a nearby fishing village, then closed all my accounts so William couldn't find me again.Every day in the village, I heard people in the market gossiping about what happened to a big shot in Moria. Apparently, he had gone crazy after his wife abandoned him and was offering a huge reward to anyone with clues about her.If even a remote fishing village like the one I was staying in had gotten the news, I could hardly imagine how much money and manpower William had spent on finding me. He had always been a drastic, terrifying person. I feared to think of what a crazy man like him would do.A few days later, I heard from the market that "Mr. Parker from Moria" had gone mad because he couldn't find his wife. His subordinates were hoping to fulfill his last wishes before he died.I knew he wasn't going to give up, so I de
