Chapter 1

Five years into marriage with Wilson Morris, everything seemed pretty standard between us. Yet, despite our efforts, my stomach remained quiet—no baby on the way.Wilson always told me not to worry about it, but I could see the longing in his eyes whenever he saw a happy family with a kid.I was starting to believe I could not have children, but then, on my 35th birthday, I found out I was pregnant.I double-checked with a test at the hospital before I got my hopes up and shared the big news with Wilson."Honey, we're finally going to have a baby!"Wilson stared at the test results, his face turning from shock to anger. "Who's the father?!" he demanded.I froze. "What are you talking about, Wilson?"In a rage, he ripped up the test results and slapped me across the face. "How dare you play innocent?! We've been trying for ages with no luck. Then, I'm away for a month, and you're pregnant?!"The slap left me reeling, my hand shaking as I pointed at him, tears spilling over. "Wil

The next day, Wilson smiled brightly as he booked a hotel and threw a massive celebration.He was over the moon, telling anyone who would listen about his upcoming fatherhood.I watched him, so full of joy, and decided to let bygones be bygones, thinking maybe that was the start of our happily ever after.However, then, after the party, his mistress found out I was pregnant and pegged me as the homewrecker.It turned out that Wilson's other woman was a reporter.I had seen her on TV, grilling interviewees with her sharp wit, a stunning beauty with an iron will.I kept tabs on her every move once I knew she was my husband's mistress.Every time she was on air, I was watching.Her looks and killer instincts had made her a star in the news world.They called her the Beauty Sniper online, a nod to her ability to make any story she touched explode into the limelight.The next night, she became the lead story on the evening news."Viewers, after years of being a reporter, I never

Her lies, spewed under the cover of being a reporter, made me tremble with rage. "You're lying through your teeth! Wilson is my husband, not yours."Rowena Jones paused, then smirked like she had caught me in a slip-up. "Wilson's your husband? Prove it.""I...""Here's my marriage certificate with Wilson. Got anything like that?"She waved two certificates from her bag, flaunting them for me and the camera to see.A chill ran through me. How on earth did she have a marriage certificate with Wilson?I tried to stand, to grab it and see for myself, but she shoved me back down with a vengeance."What's the matter? Trying to rip the truth up?"She stepped on my hand, and I could not hold back the tears. "I've been married to Wilson for years. We..."I bit back the pain, reaching for my phone to call Wilson.However, her quick-handed accomplice snatched it away and hurled it to the ground, where it shattered."Think you can call for backup? As if!"The bystanders had already cau

"Does being the underdog always make her right? If so, why bother figuring out who's wrong or right? Guess we should all just play the weakling, huh?"Rowena's voice was filled with a fiery passion, her eyes red with a mix of anger and a fierce sense of justice that made it hard to argue against her.Those who had been on my side fell silent, sighing and muttering that I really should not have done what I did.The pain was so intense I could not find the words to defend myself, leaving me feeling utterly helpless.The crowd was eager to back Rowena, their voices rising and falling in a chorus of agreement with her.I looked at their faces, already judging and condemning me, and it seemed like my only option was to cry out in fear.I could not deny that my family was not well-off; Rowena did not lie about that.My mom was tricked by a man when she was young, and that was how my brother and I came into the world.She had a moment of clarity, took us, and left, determined to make

When I came to, I was in the hospital.My first instinct was to check on my belly. "My baby... My baby..."The oxygen mask muffled my frail voice. The nurse, who was adjusting my IV, heard me stir and ran off to get the doctor.Minutes later, the doctor arrived. He let out a heavy sigh and gently broke the news, saying, "Ms. Chapman, I'm sorry, but you've lost your child."I stared blankly at the ceiling, a sense of despair engulfing me, deeper than any physical pain.Deep down, I had already known.My once-rounded belly was then flat, and I could not feel my baby's presence anymore."This was my first pregnancy—""Ms. Chapman, try to stay calm. A miscarriage, especially one this late, takes a toll on your body. If you want to heal—""Will I be able to have another baby?" I turned, my eyes brimming with sorrow, and looked at the doctor.The doctor would not meet my eyes, and that was when I lost it.My sobs tore through the silence of the hospital ward as I tried to scramble

Chapter 6

Rowena, ever the reporter, came in with her recorder pen. She gave me a quick look and then questioned the doctor. "Doctor, how is she?"The doctor, recognizing her after a beat, answered quietly, "Ms. Chapman had a miscarriage. It's going to be tough for her to get pregnant again."Rowena's eyes flicked back to me, full of scorn. "Such a shame; you can't play the other woman with a baby anymore."I was drained. My eyes were burning with hate as I glared at Wilson. "Wilson, tell her, what am I to you?"Wilson looked wrecked, like he had not quite grasped the miscarriage yet.However, Rowena read his silence as my final joke, sauntering to loop her arm through Wilson's. "Wilson, she's lost the baby. She won't bother you now. Tell her to let go. What are we to each other?"The second she touched Wilson, he snapped awake, his hand flying out and sending Rowena stumbling back."You killed my son! You monster!"The whole room froze. The doctors and nurses, sensing the tension, quick

Chapter 7

Rowena was a mess; all her earlier confidence was gone. She clung to Wilson desperately."Wilson, please, you have to help me!"Wilson stared at her, his eyes hard with anger, but he did not shove her away."Officers, this is a family issue. We'll handle it ourselves, if you don't mind."Wilson pulled out the video Rowena had made, trying to prove she had not touched me and suggesting they talk to the doctor, who could back him up.I could not believe he was trying to cover for Rowena. I was about to call him out on it when tears betrayed me, streaming down my face."How can you? Are you even human? Are you still my husband?"Your mistress killed your son. I can't even have kids anymore. And you're still taking her side?"Wilson, have you ever really loved me?"Wilson gripped my hand, looking torn as he begged me in a hushed tone, saying, "Anna, I'm not taking her side. We can't let this get out, or my bigamy will be uncovered. And Rowena's career as a reporter will be over.

Chapter 8

There was no way I would let Rowena get away with that.Or Wilson!It was all because he had gone and made it official with her, hiding me away, that Rowena got so cocky, thinking she was on the right side of things!My brother caught the news and rushed over. I clung to him as tears streamed down my face. I told him I would divorce Wilson."Anna, think about it," he said. "If you divorce him, won't that just make things easier for that reporter?"I stared at my brother, my eyes searching his. "You don't want me to go through with the divorce?"He shook his head, his eyes steady. "Whatever you decide, I'm behind you 100 percent. Just make sure you've thought it through, okay?"He slid a house contract and a check across the table to me."Your husband gave these to me. Now, they're yours."I could not help but let out a snort. Wilson sure knew how to move fast.Once the honeymoon glow faded, his niceness seemed to shrink down to nothing more than a husband's duty. Sure, he was

Chapter 9

Wilson agreed without hesitation.I told him I did not need a nanny hovering around. I wanted him to take care of me himself.Wilson paused for just a second before nodding his agreement.I was counting down the days until I could leave the hospital. Wilson was gathering my clothes when Rowena burst in, yelling my name like a battle cry.She stopped short at the sight of Wilson, then launched herself at him, fists and feet flying."Wilson! You scumbag! How could you get me fired from the TV station? What right do you have?!"Wilson shoved her away without a hint of sympathy and pulled me into his arms. "I've told you a million times, stop hounding me. I'm not leaving Anna. You wouldn't listen, so I had to get you out of the TV station!"And if you don't back off, I'll make sure you can't even stick around in this town."Rowena's hair was a wild mess, and the dark bruise under her eye made her look all the more worn out.She had clearly been through the wringer those past few d

Chapter 10

Rowena was on the screen. She looked nothing like the fierce beauty she once was, the one dubbed the Beauty Sniper.She seemed like a bird after a losing fight; her eyes seemed lifeless.The segment started with my viral interview, the one where I was called the other woman. Then, with obvious reluctance, Rowena issued a public apology."I was wrong. I had falsely accused Ms. Chapman. The real homewrecker...was me..." As she confessed, tears of frustration shimmered in Rowena's eyes. However, a second later, the screen went dark.Wilson clicked the TV off and turned toward me. "See? I did everything I promised."She'll be gone soon, out of our lives for good." He took my hand, his face a picture of devotion.I nodded with a weak smile and served him some food.I wanted him to believe I was done talking about divorce—that whatever was weighing on his heart had already been resolved.Wilson beamed, serving me more food and endearingly calling me his dear with each helping.Later
