Chapter 1

The baby growing inside Solana Summers belonged to Isaiah Jeffries, her uncle by title, but not by blood. When Solana was just seven, her parents were killed in an overseas explosion during a business trip. The Summers family once helped Isaiah, so he took her in and raised her himself. Young Solana was so well-behaved that it broke people's hearts, so he handled everything personally without handing her off to others. Just like that, Isaiah raised the seven-year-old girl into a 17-year-old young woman. At Jeffries Manor, Solana only grew close to Isaiah and loved to cling to him alone. As she became older and her feelings bloomed, she couldn't help falling for the man who had saved her. On the night of her 18th birthday, she got a little drunk and used the liquid courage to confess her feelings. Then, on impulse, she stood on her toes and kissed him. Isaiah had always been self-disciplined. Yet, that night, he had just one drink and was already burning up. His mind

Chapter 2

After leaving the hospital, Solana went straight back to the Jeffries Manor. She had already submitted her application to further her studies abroad. In ten days, she would be flying to Fruances.As soon as Solana stepped through the front door, Cedric called her over. She discovered that several Jeffries family elders were also present. She looked around, but she wasn't surprised that Isaiah was not there. Ever since their accidental night together, he had been avoiding her. Even though he eventually agreed to marry her under family pressure, he was no longer the same toward her as before.When Solana walked in, all the elders turned to her with kind smiles. Their eyes naturally drifted down to her belly.Cedric called out warmly, "Sol, come and sit beside me. Tell me, what kind of wedding do you want? I'll have Reuben and Jocelyn make the arrangements."Reuben Jeffries was Isaiah's eldest brother, and Jocelyn Wright was his wife. Then, Cedric brought out an old wooden box that

Chapter 3

As she watched the pair in front of her getting flirty under the table again, Solana felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She was still weak from the abortion procedure. After sitting with the Jeffries for so long, her back ached too much to continue. Since Cedric had nothing more to discuss with her, Solana excused herself, saying she was tired and needed to rest. She lay on her bed, looking at every decoration in the room with a heavy heart. Isaiah had personally arranged every corner of this bedroom. He used to take care of everything for her, down to the most minor details, but now the distance between them had never felt greater. Her nose stung, and she was on the verge of tears.Solana hadn't been back in her room long when Isaiah walked in without even knocking. She was startled, and she could not help but wonder how long it had been since they'd spoken after he moved out. Even when they inevitably ran into each other in this house, he wouldn't even look at her. Now,

Chapter 4

The moment the procedure slip hit the floor, Solana instinctively snatched it up and stuffed it away as quickly as she could. However, Isaiah's sharp eyes had already caught sight of the words "procedure slip" on the paper.Her heart pounded so hard it felt like it had jumped to her throat, and she could even hear the thumping of her heart in her ears. She fumbled for a moment, trying to come up with something believable.Finally, she mumbled, "It's nothing; it's just a simple dental procedure. Dr. Bates said I should take care of any dental issues early during pregnancy, or it'll cause trouble later." Solana deliberately brought up the pregnancy. Sure enough, Isaiah's face darkened after hearing it, and he didn't pursue the matter further.His brow relaxed slightly, but he still maintained a cold expression as he said distantly, "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital for another check-up." Solana waved her hands frantically, and she was panicking. "Oh, no need. You should go t

Chapter 5

Just then, Alyssa suddenly cried out from the passenger seat. "Oh no! Isaiah, what should I do? I forgot to close my window! "The little plant you gave me is still on the windowsill, and with such heavy rain, I'll be heartbroken if it gets ruined. That's the little plant you potted for me on my birthday. "It's the only thing that gives me hope when my depression kicks in. I treasure it more than my own life!" Through the rearview mirror, Solana noticed Alyssa's gaze directed right at her. She suddenly realized that Alyssa was doing this intentionally. "I'll turn around and send you home right now!" Isaiah agreed without hesitation. "Yes! Isaiah, you're the best!" Alyssa beamed, her face lit up with the happiness that she didn't even try to hide. Then, she looked hesitantly toward the back seat. She said uncertainly, "Isaiah, this means Sol will have to make an extra trip with us. Won't that delay her doctor's appointment?" The car suddenly screeched to a stop on the roads

Chapter 6

Solana wanted nothing more than to leave, but she didn't want to argue with him. So, she quietly followed his order and lay back down. She quietly thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle Isaiah." Isaiah's cold gaze fell on her face, feeling like she was somehow different from before. In the past, she loved clinging to him most, chattering nonstop whenever she saw him. If something like this had happened, she would have already been crying and complaining to him. Moreover, she hadn't called him "Uncle Isaiah" in a long time. At some point, she had started calling him by his name. Thunder rumbled outside as the heavy rain continued falling. She obediently finished the IV drip under Isaiah's supervision. "Solana—"Isaiah was about to ask what was wrong with her lately and why she had become so well-behaved when a scream came from the next room. His expression grew serious, and he instinctively rushed out. "Ally must have been startled awake by the thunder, and her depression is acting

Chapter 7

Solana silently prayed that nothing would happen. After all, she had just promised Isaiah she would help watch Alyssa. Moreover, she was leaving soon and didn't want to create any unnecessary conflicts. If something happened to Alyssa, Isaiah would punish her again by locking her in the dark room at the mountain villa.Just thinking about that dark room made her whole body tremble. The day her parents died in the accident, she stayed home alone for one night before Isaiah came to get her the next day. No one ever knew how she managed to get through that night. She had hidden inside a pitch-black closet, too scared to fall asleep. From then on, she developed severe claustrophobia.Isaiah knew about it. That was why he'd always made sure not to leave her home alone. However, in her past life, Alyssa frequently provoked her after their engagement, and he locked her up several times to vent his anger on Alyssa's behalf. Even though Alyssa was always the one who started the trouble,

Chapter 8

Solana had no idea how she made it through the night. It felt like she had been transported back to the night her parents died. It was only when the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the window that she felt a spark of life return to her body. That was when Solana noticed the bedsheets beneath her were torn because she had been gripping them too hard. Not only that, but her arms and palms were also covered in bloody marks from her nails digging in.Isaiah had people watching her around the clock. Everything in her routine was tailored to pregnancy care, with three nutritious meals delivered to her room at scheduled times. They had even confiscated her phone. The staff who brought her meals would drop off the food and leave immediately, never speaking a word to her. Solana was frantic with worry. She could not contact Sarah, and her phone and essential documents remained locked away in her confiscated bag. A week before the wedding, Isaiah had a staff member, Harv

Chapter 9

Solana had Sarah drive her to one last place before they headed for the airport. It wasn't until the plane finally took off that it hit her that she had truly left behind the tragic fate of her past life.After landing in Fruances, Solana immediately settled all her enrollment paperwork and threw herself into her new academic life. The professors at this college were known for their strictness, so Solana didn't dare slack off for even a moment.Meanwhile, Isaiah had just returned to the country. He had been delayed while dropping Alyssa off at home. Her condition had improved during their few days of vacation abroad, but she had another episode on the journey back.Alyssa was crying hysterically, completely falling apart. "Isaiah, are you going to marry her? I know you don't have a choice, but it still breaks my heart. "I can't accept that the man I love most is about to marry another woman. I'm so heartbroken that I feel like I'm dying!" In the past, whenever Alyssa had a depre

Chapter 10

Isaiah didn't know how many red lights he ran through as he sped toward the suburban cemetery at breakneck speed. He knew Solana had nowhere else to go. Whenever she was upset, she would always sit by her parents' graves. She must have been angry with him for spending all his time with Alyssa, and when no one was paying attention, she had snuck away to this place. "Sol, Sol..." he called out her name as he ran back, stumbling and nearly falling in his haste. When he saw the fresh flowers before the headstone, his heart clenched painfully once more. Solana had been here, but she was already gone. Where could she have gone? Where else would she even go?He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to believe she had left without saying a word. However, the truth was staring him in the face, and she had left.Isaiah crouched down in front of the grave, his eyes bloodshot. "Sol, I shouldn't have come back so late. If I'd known you couldn't wait for me, I would've rushed back soo
