“I’m giving you two options, Avery. Either send that baby to an orphanage… or we get a divorce!”Oliver’s voice thundered through the room as he stood in front of his wife, who was clutching their one-month-old baby tightly in her arms. Avery’s eyes widened in disbelief, her mind refusing to accept what she had just heard.“W-what are you saying, Oliver? Why should I send our baby to an orphanage when she has both her parents? You’re her father, and I’m her mother!”Oliver’s eyes narrowed, a mocking smile spreading across his bearded, handsome face—the same face that many women dreamed of, including Avery herself.“You still don’t get it, do you, Avery? I’ve told you a thousand times, the Reed family only accepts sons. But you… you gave birth to that weak little girl. And look at her! Her face, her skin, none of it even slightly resembles my family’s bloodline.”Avery’s lips trembled. She was at a complete loss for words. In fact, Adelia was nothing but a copy-paste of her father, Oli

"For God's sake, Avery. I've told you before and I'll say it again, The Reeds are crazy! How cruel of them to let you leave that house in a storm like this.

Sarah's voice snapped Avery out of her slight daze."I, I don't know, Sarah. I initially thought Oliver was different. I thought he would soften over time and come to accept

The world outside the dining room had dissolved into a meaningless blur for Avery. She was vaguely aware of Sarah’s arm wrapped securely around her shoulders, guiding her through the long, silent corridors of the Knight residence.Every word from that venomous article echoed in her mind: psychological distress, abandoned her home, unfit. Oliver wasn't just divorcing her. He was methodically erasing her, painting her as a monster to a world that was all too ready to believe it.“This way, Ave,” Sarah’s voice cut through the fog, gentle but firm. “This is the master guest suite. No one will bother you here. It’s the most secure room in the house.”The room was less of a room and more of a private apartment. It was decorated in soft shades of cream and silver, with a large four-poster bed, a sitting area with a fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked a manicured private garden.In the corner, one of the maids was already setting up a beautiful wooden crib for Adelia, who
