Lies of a Pregnant Bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

For a moment, time seemed to freeze, leaving only the sound of their breathing.Sophia staggered back a few steps, hands trembling.She knew exactly what she had just done.Break it to rebuild it.She had exhausted almost all her soft approaches, yet the situation only became more and more unfavorable. This wasn’t the outcome she wanted.She could only go hard. Tear the balance apart. Force a change.She had no idea whether this move was right or wrong, but she had already reached the point of no return.“Good. Very good.”Ethan’s voice was unnervingly calm, the kind that could chill a person to the bone.Sophia looked at the man in front of her, a fear unlike anything she had ever experienced spreading through her chest.Ethan walked toward her, blood sliding down his jawline and staining the white collar of his shirt.“Don’t come any closer!” Sophia screamed, backing away until she bumped against the large office desk behind her.Ethan advanced step by step like a predator locking o

Ethan pressed his fingers against his brow, breathed once, and when he opened his eyes again, the turbulence was gone. A cold, deliberate clarity replaced it.“Fine. I won’t pursue your past lies any further.”Sophia finally let out a quiet breath. For a moment, she even felt that being honest might actually be the better path.But Ethan continued.“But my wife, and the mother of my child, cannot be a fraud with no real identity.”“So this ends here.”He rose to his feet. “The divorce papers are ready. All you need to do is sign.”“I’m not getting divorced.” Sophia refused without a single second of hesitation.Ethan lifted his gaze. “You think you have the right to refuse?”“Of course I do. You know very well that if we divorce, I can legally take a considerable amount of your assets.”“But that’s not why I

Ethan studied her face and saw right through the performance.A wave of exhaustion crashed over him.He leaned back, closed his eyes, and shut her out.He refused to let this woman’s crocodile tears twist his mind further.“No matter what you say, this marriage is ending.”Sophia froze.Her expression stiffened as if she hadn’t heard correctly.“I’m pregnant. How are we supposed to get divorced?”Ethan didn’t even open his eyes. His tone was calm, detached.“I never said we would divorce now.”“Pregnancy lasts ten months. And by law, I can’t file for divorce during the first year after you give birth. I’ll respect that.”“So,” he paused, “Sophia, you have two years left.”“Once those two years are up, this marriage ends. Whether you want it to or not.”“And you will not take any of the three children with you.”Sophia went blank for a moment.Her tears dried instantly as if burned away.“You really have to do this?”“We could get along just fine. You take care of everything outside, I

It was already deep into the night, and the entire villa had fallen silent.Ethan lay on the guest room bed, tossing from side to side, unable to sleep.He pushed himself upright and reached for his phone for the third time.The cold glow of the screen reflected the tension between his brows.The search page was still open:“Precautions during early pregnancy”He tapped one link again.Emotional turbulence may lead to miscarriage...Sophia’s pale face and reddened eyes flashed through his mind.He locked the screen, but the image lingered sharply behind his eyes.A soft sigh slipped out in the darkness.At two thirteen in the morning, he found himself standing outside the master bedroom door.His fingers brushed the cool metal handle when a faint click sounded from inside.The door was locked.He froze.His knuckles tightened.A moment later, Ethan curved his lips in a self-mocking smile and turned away.He walked quietly toward the children’s room across the hall.The nanny was aslee

Alyssa’s thoughts slowly came back into focus.Looking at the man in front of her again felt like staring at a ghost from another lifetime.She laughed coldly.“So what now? You think you’re being romantic?”“You think saying this crap will move me? That I’ll melt and forgive you?”Henry only held her tighter, his voice low.“I never thought you’d forgive me easily.”“Then what the hell are you doing? Using force to pin me down?”“Alyssa, I’m sorry.”He buried his face in her neck.“I was wrong. So wrong…”That sentence ignited her fury like gasoline meeting a lit match.She drove her knee up viciously into his groin.Henry grunted and loosened his grip.Alyssa tore herself free and slapped him hard.A crack echoed through the apartment.“Henry, now you finally know you were wrong?”She spat the words at him, chest heaving.“You ran off the second Greta called. You left me alone in a bridal shop.”“Do you have any idea how humiliating that was?”“And now Greta’s dead, and suddenly you
