All Chapters of End the Secret Affair: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"What? Ms. LeBlanc, do you want to terminate the pregnancy? But just earlier today, after learning about it, you were so excited to share the news with your boyfriend!" The doctor looked at me incredulously, his astonished cry sounding particularly loud in the empty examination room.I kept my head down as I clenched the hem of my dress tightly. Choking up, I said, "Please don't ask me anything. I just know I don't want the baby anymore."The doctor watched me for a while before sighing heavily. "Ms. LeBlanc, I don't know what happened to you, but you're obviously emotional right now. Maybe you should calm down and reconsider."He slid the abortion consent form back to me, and his gaze landed on the ultrasound attached to it. "This is a life, after all."I looked up at the small black shadow on the report, and my eyes reddened further. After a long while, I tucked the form into my bag and left the hospital.As I walked home, distraught, a red Ferrari suddenly skidded to a stop in

At those words, Emilio tensed even more. I remained calm and smiled again. "Really? Our meeting must've been written in the stars, then."Christopher laughed at our exchange. "Amber, after all these years, you're still so awkward when trying to get close to others."She playfully nudged his arm, their familiarity evident.Meanwhile, Emilio stood to the side like an outsider. His eyes narrowed—a sign I knew meant he was furious.He said to Christopher, "Since you're here, I'll leave Calista to you. I'm heading out."But Christopher stopped him and held out a set of keys. "Perfect timing. Why don't you give Amber a ride home?"Emilio stared at the keys, unmoving, refusing to take them. Finally, Amber pushed Christopher's hand back. "There's no need to trouble him. I can get home on my own."With that, she bid Christopher goodbye and thoughtfully wished me a speedy recovery. Then, she turned and left in a hurry.Emilio's gaze didn't leave her the entire time.Christopher looked a

When I woke up in the hospital again, Christopher stood by the bed, his face dark with anger. He threw a pregnancy test report at me. "Calista LeBlanc, who is the father?"I pursed my lips and gripped the bedsheet, saying nothing.He went on for a while, but I stayed silent. Then, Emilio walked in, and my heart leapt to my throat."Why are you here?" Christopher asked, puzzled.Emilio said calmly, "I heard from a colleague that your sister was sick. As her boss, it's normal for me to check on an employee, right?"Christopher frowned but didn't think much of it. He said impatiently, "Get out. I need to talk to her."Emilio was taken aback. His gaze landed on the report.I coughed, and Christopher quickly hid the paper behind his back, shouting, "Get out!"Emilio hesitated but ultimately left the room. It was just me and Christopher now.His tone was grim as he repeated, "Who is the father?"I wanted so badly to tell him it was the man he'd just kicked out. But what right did I

Third Person PerspectiveEmilio lowered his head and repeated, "Pregnant?"Before he could process that, Christopher punched him. "You bastard! You're so obsessed with Amber that you'd die for her, so why did you get close to my sister? And even if you did get involved with her, why couldn't you treat her right?"Emilio's head spun from the punch. He'd imagined countless scenarios of his lies being exposed, but none hit as hard as this moment.Suddenly, Amber cleared her throat. "Emilio, how is it that Calista is suddenly pregnant?"Amber's words made him snap out of his daze. From beginning to end, I had never mentioned a pregnancy. Yet, right after he threatened to break up with her, she claimed she was with child.It all clicked for him. An ugly look crept onto his face as he looked at Christopher coldly. "Yes, Calista and I were dating. But she wasn't pregnant. She just made it up because she was scared I'd leave her. I never would've thought she'd stoop to lying about someth

Amber chuckled. "She got what she deserved.""So, what's your next step? Are you gonna make Emilio marry you? He's done so much for you. His love and devotion should be at their peak now," said Lily Ford, Amber's best friend.Amber shook her head. "I've changed my mind. I didn't expect those thugs to attack him so viciously and cripple him. I don't have the time to wait around for him to recover."Lily was taken aback. "Well, that makes sense. I doubt he can even satisfy you sexually now. So, what's your plan?"Amber fiddled with her manicured nails and said, "It's simple—I'll trick him into marrying me first before kicking him to the curb. I'll take half of everything he's got and marry someone better."She seemed to be already imagining the fantastic future she had planned and cackled.Emilio stood behind the door, his eyes so cold that they were scary.The next second, he walked into the room with a smile.The laughter abruptly stopped, and Amber asked anxiously, "When did y
