“Don’t worry, Zoe. We’ll make sure Dylan takes responsibility for what he did,” Mr. Xander said gently.“He’s being punished right now. He’s out in the guest house, kneeling. He won’t be allowed to get up until he admits he was wrong,” Mrs. Xander added softly. They sat with Zoe Stone in her room, speaking with warmth and concern. Their eyes kept drifting to her still-flat stomach.Zoe lowered her voice. “Mr. and Mrs. Xander, I’ve thought this through. You can’t force love. Please don’t pressure Dylan into marrying me.”Mr. Xander’s brow furrowed. “He crossed a line. He needs to be accountable. Especially now that you're carrying his child.”Zoe shook her head. “I’ve made my decision. I’m going to honor my mother’s last wish and volunteer as a teacher in Backwater Ridge. Please don’t try to talk me out of it.”Mrs. Xander reached out and gently smoothed a hand through Zoe’s hair, her heart aching. “But what about the baby?”“I’ve already scheduled the procedure,” Zoe said calml

Zoe sat quietly in the hospital corridor, her hand resting lightly on her stomach. Her eyes stung with tears she tried not to shed.In her past life, during the years she was hopelessly in love with Dylan, she had imagined countless times what it would be like to walk down the aisle with him.Later, after their son was born, she often felt guilty—guilty for not giving him a home filled with love.But even after years of raising him, her son grew up to be just like his father—cold, distant, and in the end, he too turned into a knife that cut straight into her heart.This time, she wouldn’t give him the chance to be born.Just then, a sweet, overly familiar voice broke through the quiet hallway.“Oh come on, Dylan! You’re totally overreacting. It’s just a little burn from the steam, that’s all. The doctor said I could’ve just rinsed it with cold water at home, but you dragged me all the way here. Now everyone’s looking at me like I’m ridiculous.”Zoe looked up instinctively, her w

Zoe’s face flushed red, tears springing to her eyes as she stared down at the photos.She took a closer look and felt sick to her stomach.In every photo, a woman was tangled up with older men, shirtless, her expression dazed, her body posed in deliberately suggestive ways.And the worst part? Every single photo starred her.Dylan’s voice was ice-cold.“Zoe Stone, if you want to be trash, that’s your business. But don’t drag our family name down with you.”“How the hell did your parents raise such a shameless daughter?”His eyes bore into her like she was filth.Zoe shook her head quickly, panicked. “That’s not me in the photos. They’ve been doctored!”Dylan let out a bitter laugh. “So now you’re denying it? You think I’d believe a word you say? You drugged me—God knows what else you’re capable of. Addicted to men, is that it? Can’t even keep it together while pregnant?“Our family must’ve been cursed for generations to end up with someone like you. And my parents? They still

Zoe stared at the phone for a moment before realizing—it was Dylan’s.Before she could react, it buzzed again. Then again. One message after another kept lighting up the screen.“You said you’d stay with me! And now you’re rushing to her just because she got hurt?“Do you not love me anymore?! Have you fallen for her?!“You’d better explain, or I swear I’ll break up with you!”Dylan had come after all.Zoe’s emotions swirled into a complicated mess.He was always like this—trying to be cold, but never able to go all the way through with it.As the messages kept coming with no reply, Jenny must have grown desperate. She started a video call.Zoe felt a wave of irritation. She wanted to silence the phone but quickly realized she couldn’t move her hand.Her fingers brushed over the thick layers of gauze, and her expression froze.No... it couldn’t be...A nurse stepped in just then. “Miss Stone, you’re awake.”Zoe sat up quickly. “Nurse, my hand—what happened to it?”The nur

“Zoe!”At the very last second, the door burst open with a loud crash. Dylan stood there in his pajamas.Bathed in the light from the hallway, he saw Zoe pinned to the floor. His eyes blazed with fury as he grabbed a nearby chair and smashed it over the man’s back.The attacker collapsed with a cry of pain, and Dylan rushed to pull Zoe into his arms.“Zoe, are you okay?”Her face was pale. She couldn’t say a word, still paralyzed by fear.She had been so close—just seconds away from…But before she could finish the thought, the man suddenly lunged back up, yanked a knife from his pocket, and drove it toward Dylan’s back.“Look out!”Zoe’s eyes flew wide. On instinct, she shoved Dylan out of the way.The blade sank deep into her chest. Blood poured instantly from the wound.“ZOE!”Dylan’s scream tore through the air. His pupils contracted as he caught her in his arms. The attacker, stunned, dropped the knife and bolted from the room.Holding Zoe tightly, Dylan pressed down
