Semua Bab A Child Denied, A Husband Destroyed: Bab 1 - Bab 9

I was eight months pregnant when I suddenly went into labor. However, my husband, Aldrich Lohan, locked me up in the basement instead and gave me a tocolytic injection to delay labor.He did all of these simply because he wanted the child of his sister-in-law to be born first. That way, my child wouldn't be able to inherit the rights to being the heir of his family as the firstborn grandchild.The basement was cold and damp, the chill seeping into my bones. I felt my arms and legs go numb, and yet, the pain in my uterus nearly made me pass out.I begged with all of my life for Aldrich to send me to the hospital, but he refused to change his mind."Anton saved my life," he said, referring to his older brother, Anton, who had married Chrissy. "But after his death, he's survived only by Chrissy's baby. I must let her baby inherit all the rights to the family! Chrissy lost nearly everything, but you're still here, enjoying everything I give you like you're entitled to all of it. This

After what felt like forever, I finally managed to regain some strength and rolled to the ground from the bed.I couldn't stay another minute in this basement. Otherwise, I would just be a sitting duck waiting for them to come back again whenever they needed more of my blood.At the very least, I needed to keep my child alive.I used up all of my energy to crawl toward the door. Just then, the door suddenly opened, and my maid, Joanne, walked in. She had always been quite close to me. When she saw me, she let out a loud shriek because I was currently covered in blood and sweat. I looked as pale as a ghost as I crawled along on the ground. I was a sorry sight.When I saw that it was her, I did my best to produce a sound from my throat. "H-Help me… Please…"Joanne got a huge scare. "What happened, Mrs. Lohan? Why were you locked up in here?""I'm about to give birth… Please send me to the hospital…"Joanne quickly picked me up from the floor and helped me up. She immediately too

"What did you just say?" Aldrich asked in disbelief. He simply refused to believe what he had just heard. His wife and baby were dead?That was impossible! He had made sure that he hired the best gynaecologist in the country to care for them! How could anything bad have happened to them?Edgar continued shaking as he stammered, "I-It's the truth, Mr. Lohan. W-We've already confirmed it with the hospital. Mrs. Lohan and the baby… are both dead.""That's impossible!" Aldrich roared. "Didn't I tell Orlando to take good care of them? Where is Kelsey now?""Dr. Walters said that she ran out on her own… I checked the records, and Mrs. Lohan was first sent to the general hospital, but they didn't have any medical equipment there, so they had to transfer her to a private hospital, which is also this hospital we're in right now…"Edgar's forehead was covered in a layer of sweat. He kept thinking of a nicer way to phrase things to prevent triggering Aldrich's anger further."Just now… th

I rested on the private island for a long time. The private island was completely surrounded by the sea, and it had a calming effect on me. It was good enough to help me forget the pain and wounds of the past.Kyson hired the best medical staff and assistants to prepare different sorts of nutritious food for me every day. He even planted a whole garden of tulips for me in the yard because he didn't want me to get bored.Ever since Mom and Dad passed away, Kyson had always been the one in charge of the family business. He did a great job managing Raine Corporation, and the company now controlled the industrial business chain across the country and even halfway across the globe.After going through the ordeal, I finally made up my mind to ask Kyson to teach me how to manage the company together with him.It was only when we took control of our own lives that we could make sure we didn't make past mistakes again.Kyson was more than thrilled. He was happy to know that I had finally m

Of course, Aldrich had heard of the Raine family before. After all, the family was a major global player in the business industry.The Raine family possessed so much power and influence that all it took was one word from them to shake up the entire industry. It was just too easy for them to crush Aldrich if they wanted too—even easier than crushing an ant to death.Now, Aldrich finally realized that I, his wife, had come from the very same Raine family who could ruin him in the blink of an eye.I walked up to him and crouched down, taking in his sorry sight. "You kept insisting that I had only married you for your wealth and status. You even said that you were afraid my child would snatch away the title of your family's heir."But do you finally get it now? Did you really think I've been eyeing your family's wealth when it's nothing more than spare change to me?"Aldrich was shaking all over now. He kept crying out, "I was wrong, Kelsey! Please, give me another chance!""I've giv
