Chapter 1

Emma POVI walked out of the hospital clutching the test results, my hands trembling so badly I could barely keep hold of the paper. Tears blurred my vision, but honestly, I couldn't tell you if they were from joy or sadness."Mrs. Bennett, you're pregnant." The doctor's words kept echoing in my head, over and over again.It had only been three months since I married Dylan Carter. He came from the most powerful family in Riverside, the kind of family everyone knew about, the kind people whispered about with a mixture of respect and envy.Our wedding day felt like something out of a fairy tale. Every woman in town seemed to hate me just a little bit that day. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel like the luckiest girl alive.I'd known Dylan since I was ten years old. That's when it started, this feeling that grew roots deep in my chest and never let go.For twelve years, I worked on myself, pushed myself to be better, smarter, and more confident. All so I could stand beside him wit

Chapter 2

Emma POVThe next morning, I woke up feeling like I'd been hit by a truck.My whole body ached, my arms, my legs, even my neck. Everything hurts. For a second, I just lay there with my eyes closed, trying to remember how I'd ended up feeling this broken. Then it all came rushing back. Last night, I was with Dylan. The way he'd looked at me with so much hate.Before I could even fully process it all or figure out what time it was, something landed on the bed with a dull thump right next to my head.I flinched. My eyes flew open.A small box sat there on the white sheets. I stared at it, confused and still half-asleep."Take it."Taoice, it was cold and commanding. I knew it instantly.My head jerked up so fast my neck cracked. Dylan was standing at the foot of the bed, and he looked... completely different from last night. His suit was perfectly tailored and crisp, not a wrinkle anywhere. His hair was styled just right. He looked like he'd stepped out of a magazine, all polished and pu

Chapter 3

Emma POV I hit the floor hard. The impact knocked the wind out of me, and instinctively, my hands flew to my stomach. Protecting it. Protecting the baby that no one else even knew existed yet.Before I could catch my breath or try to say anything, Mr. Bennett's hand came down again. Another slap to the side of my head that made my ears ring."You worthless piece of trash! Why would Sophie try to kill herself over someone like you? You're the one who deserves to die!"Each word came out through clenched teeth, dripping with disgust. He hated me. I could see it in his eyes, pure, unfiltered hatred."Dad, it's okay. Really. I'm not meant to be with Dylan anyway. Please don't blame Emma." Sophie's voice drifted from across the room, soft and broken, punctuated by quiet sobs.My lip was still bleeding, the corner of my mouth throbbing and swollen. My head felt like it was full of static, buzzing with pain. But I forced myself to lift it anyway, to look up.And there they were.Sophie was

Chapter 4

Emma POV I couldn't connect the woman I was hearing with Sophie. My Sophie. It didn't make sense.Ever since the Bennetts took me in and I met her, I'd always thought she was this sweet, generous person. Elegant and kind. Gentle in every way. But now..."I'm so angry I could scream!" Sophie's voice rose, sharp and bitter. "I spent so much time planning everything perfectly. I even got Dylan to drink that spiked drink. I had reporters ready to come photograph everything first thing in the morning so there'd be proof that I'd spent the night with him. That way Mr. Carter would have to let me marry Dylan. But I screwed up the stupid room number! I ended up sleeping with some disgusting random guy instead, and Emma, that pathetic little tramp, accidentally got everything I worked for!"So that was the truth. That was the real face of the "good sister" who'd been crying and begging everyone to show me mercy just minutes ago.My heart was racing so fast I felt dizzy. I wanted to laugh and

Chapter 5

Emma POVThe silence that followed my words was thick enough to choke on. Sophie's face had gone from pale to bright red, her hands clenching the hospital sheets so hard her knuckles turned white."You think you can hold onto him?" Sophie's voice came out shrill, all pretense of sweetness now completely gone. "You're delusional! Dylan hates you. He can barely stand to look at you. The only reason you're still Mrs. Carter is because his grandfather forced him into it!""Maybe so," I said, meeting her furious gaze without flinching. "But I'm still his wife. And you're still the woman he had to give up. That must really eat at you, doesn't it?"Mrs. Morgan lunged forward, but Mr. Bennett grabbed her arm, holding her back. His face was calculating now, the initial shock wearing off. I could practically see the wheels turning in his head."You think you're so clever," he said slowly. "But who's going to believe you? It's your word against all three of ours. You have no proof of anything yo

Chapter 6

Emma POVA strong hand caught my arms, steadying me before I could fall."Careful there."I looked up, and my heart stopped.It was Dylan's younger brother, Marcus Carter. I'd only met him once, briefly, at the wedding. He'd been away on business ever since, somewhere overseas. I didn't even know he was back in Riverside."I'm sorry," I mumbled, trying to step back. But his hands didn't let go right away.His eyes scanned my face, and I watched his expression change from polite concern to something harder. His jaw tightened."What happened to your face?"I'd almost forgotten. The swelling, the split lip, the bruises that were probably turning purple by now. I must have looked awful."Nothing. I just fell," I said quickly, finally pulling away from his grip."You fell." His tone made it clear he didn't believe me for a second. "And gave yourself a black eye and a busted lip?""It was clumsy of me," I insisted, trying to move past him.But he shifted, blocking my path. "Does Dylan know

Chapter 7

Emma POVI'd never seen Dylan look at me like that before. Well, that wasn't exactly true. He'd looked at me with hatred plenty of times, with disgust and contempt and barely concealed loathing. But this was different. This was rage mixed with something else, something darker that made my blood run cold.I climbed out of the car as quickly as my aching body would allow, which wasn't very quick at all. Every movement hurt. My ribs protested, my face throbbed, my legs felt weak and unstable.Dylan's hand shot out and grabbed my wrist, his fingers digging in hard enough to bruise. I couldn't help the small gasp of pain that escaped."Dylan, ease up," Marcus said, getting out of the driver's side. His voice was calm but firm. "You're hurting her.""Stay out of this, Marcus." Dylan didn't even look at his brother. His eyes were locked on me, burning with fury. "This is between my wife and me."The word 'wife' came out dripping with sarcasm and bitterness, as if it tasted foul in his mouth.

Chapter 8

Emma POV"Nothing," I said quickly. Too quickly. "Nothing's wrong with me."Dylan's eyes narrowed. He was studying me now, really looking at me in a way he hadn't since that first morning we woke up together. I could see his mind working, putting pieces together."You've been doing that all day, haven't you? Every time I've seen you, your hand goes to your stomach." He took a step closer. "Are you sick? Did someone hit you there?"The concern in his voice caught me off guard. Not a concern for me, I realized. Concern that someone might have damaged his property, might have caused him legal problems, or bad publicity."I'm fine," I said for what felt like the hundredth time today. "I just got knocked around a bit. It's nothing serious.""Who hit you?" The question came out sharp and demanding. "Was it at the hospital? Did the Bennetts do this to you?"I didn't answer. Couldn't answer. Because if I told him the truth, he'd probably say I deserved it. That I'd brought it on myself by ups

Chapter 9

Emma POV I woke up several hours later to the sound of raised voices downstairs. Dylan's voice was angry and sharp. And another voice, male, equally angry.I got out of bed and crept to the top of the stairs, staying in the shadows where I couldn't be seen.Dylan was in the foyer, and standing with him was Mr. Bennett. Sophie's father. The man who'd kicked me just hours ago."You need to control your wife, Dylan," Mr. Bennett was saying, his voice hard. "She came to the hospital today and attacked Sophie. My daughter is traumatized. She won't stop crying.""From what I understand, you and your wife put your hands on Emma first," Dylan replied coldly."She deserved it! After what she did to Sophie, after stealing you away...""Emma didn't steal anything," Dylan interrupted. "What happened that night was an accident. A mistake. But it happened, and now Emma is my wife. That makes her a Carter. And no one touches a Carter without my permission."The silence that followed was heavy with

Chapter 10

The dress Chosen for a Wife. Emma POV. I woke up to the sound of something breaking downstairs.A woman gasped.Another woman whispered, “Please tell me that wasn’t expensive.”“It was in a Carter house. Of course it was expensive.”I pushed myself upright too quickly.Pain shot through my ribs, and my stomach rolled, violently. I covered my mouth and stumbled toward the bathroom, barely reaching the toilet before I threw up.There was almost nothing in my stomach, but my body kept trying anyway.When it finally stopped, I remained on the cold floor, breating through my mouth.“I’m sorry,” I whispered, resting a hand against my stomach. “I’ll eat something soon. I promise.”I had started talking to the baby when I was alone.It was probably ridiculous. The baby was too small to understand anything, but speaking made me feel less alone.Another crash came from downstairs.“Oh, come on,” the same woman complained. “Why is everything in this house placed where people can knock it over?
