Chapter 1

Hannah’s POV“Congratulations, you’re pregnant. And it’s twins. Your husband Ethan is going to be shocked.”Dr. Mitchell’s words kept echoing in my head.“I can’t believe it. Is this actually happening? I’m pregnant… with twins?”My mind went completely blank. Ethan and I had been married for three years, doing everything we could in hopes of having a child. I had dreamed of this moment for so long. I never imagined it would come as a double miracle.On the ride home from the hospital, I stared out the window and kept imagining how I would tell Ethan. I pictured his warm, crinkled smile and the way he would look genuinely overjoyed while pretending to be embarrassed. I couldn’t wait to see that expression.Even our longtime driver noticed something different about me.“Miss Hannah, did something wonderful happen today? You’ve been smiling to yourself since earlier.”“Yes. Something truly beautiful and life-changing happened.”My husband, Ethan Harrison, is the young CEO of the

Hannah’s POV”Why? What is this supposed to mean?"My voice was shaking as I asked the question."Linda has returned. She showed up to see me."I couldn’t make sense of the words coming out of his mouth.Linda? Why is he bringing up my stepsister right now?"And what does that have to do with anything?"I tried to keep my voice steady, but a bad feeling twisted in my stomach and made it tremble."She told me everything you’ve done."His cold eyes locked on mine. The moment he looked at me like that, something inside me froze."My… crimes? What are you talking about? What did she say?"I had no idea what Linda could have possibly told Ethan. Nothing came to mind. Nothing made sense."You knew about me and Linda before our marriage. You married me anyway so you could get your hands on my family’s fortune. You stole your sister’s man, then forced her overseas to cover it up. Linda said you’d do anything to get what you want."He stared me down with a look full of disgust."T

Hannah’s POVThe next morning, I dragged my heavy body out of bed like an empty shell.The woman staring back at me in the mirror looked pale and unrecognizable.I wished everything that happened last night had just been a bad dream.I hadn’t slept at all. The shock of it kept replaying in my head.With a foggy mind, I stared down at the divorce papers.Was the ten million settlement a sign of how deeply he cared for Linda, or was it simply hush money for a woman he believed had married him for his money?Did he want me gone that badly?There was no answer. All I knew was that his heart was no longer anywhere near me.I didn’t care about the settlement itself.What hurt was realizing Ethan wanted the divorce so much that he put a number like that on the table.I didn’t have the strength to fight him. And with the children growing inside me,I chose not to resist his demands.He wasn’t in the living room or the bedroom.When I asked the butler, he said Ethan had come home f

Ethan’s POV”Are you thinking about Hannah again? You’re already divorced. You need to forget about her."Steven Miller’s voice landed hard. He was both my best friend and my business partner, so his words always hit closer than anyone else’s. It had been four months since Hannah walked out. The day after she asked for a divorce, I came home to find the papers on the living room table along with her wedding ring. She hadn’t contacted me once since then."I just never thought she’d sign so easily," I muttered, fiddling with my phone, unable to hide my irritation.Steven gave me a sharp look. "You asked for a divorce so you could get back together with her sister. And now you expected Hannah to come running back?"He was right, painfully right, and I didn’t have a single word to throw back at him. Hannah had loved me so fiercely that I was sure she’d resist the divorce. I thought it would drag on, which was why I treated her so coldly. I assumed she’d cling to the marriage like

Ethan’s POV“Hannah was pregnant…? No way… Are you telling me I pushed her out of my life when she was in that condition? Tell me, how is she now? Where is she?"I hurried toward Dr. Mitchell, who had been arguing with Steven, and demanded answers about Hannah’s condition."For patient privacy, I cannot tell you anything. You’re her husband. You should ask her yourself."I had only just learned she was pregnant. There was no way I could contact her. Dr. Mitchell knew that, yet he still threw those cold words at me. He was the Jefferson family’s physician. Even though the Harrisons were connected to them by marriage, his loyalty would always be to the Jeffersons. There was no chance he would talk to me about Hannah."Then if you’ll excuse me."Snatching the documents back in irritation, Dr. Mitchell turned and left the room.Meanwhile, Linda had come to the office again that day, determined to get Ethan to take her back. But as she approached the door, she heard him shout in shoc

Chapter 6

Ethan’s POV”Steven… Hannah was really pregnant?"I asked Steven again after Dr. Mitchell left."Yeah. There’s no mistake. You’ve been so distracted at work that I asked someone to look into her situation. And then we found this."Steven pulled another envelope from his bag and showed me several photos of Hannah.They were all taken from the side or slightly behind, clearly showing her stomach.Her belly had grown round and unmistakably large.With each passing day in the photos, it was impossible not to see she was pregnant."It’s been five months since she left the house. Judging by how big her stomach is in these pictures, she’s probably nine months along. Maybe even at full term. But if that’s true, you should have noticed something before all this. And Hannah definitely would have told you."He opened the pregnancy report again, the one that said "twin pregnancy" on the cover."When you put together the fact that Dr. Mitchell didn’t deny it, and how quickly her belly gre

Chapter 7

Ethan’s POVKnock, knock.When Steven and I turned toward the sound, Linda was standing in the doorway of the executive office."Ethan? Did you hear what Dr. Mitchell said? I can’t believe it. I never imagined my sister was pregnant…""How do you know about that?""I ran into Dr. Mitchell on my way here. It didn’t make sense for him to be at your company, so I asked why. Then he told me my sister was pregnant.""I see… He didn’t say it outright, but he didn’t deny it either. I’m sure it’s true."When I answered in a low voice, Linda’s voice began to tremble, and tears filled her eyes."And on top of that… the father isn’t you. When I think about how you must feel, it just breaks my heart. I’m so angry for you, I can’t stand it…""What? What did you just say? Linda? Is that true?""Yes. I heard it from Dr. Mitchell. And if that’s really the case, then it all makes sense, doesn’t it? My sister left because she got pregnant with another man’s child. Otherwise there’s no reason s

Chapter 8

Dr. Mitchell’s POVRiding down in the elevator, I replayed the events of the day in his mind.Could it be that Hannah hasn’t told anyone she’s pregnant?A man named Steven, who managed the company alongside her husband Ethan, had come to see him asking about Hannah’s condition."Is this report real? Is Hannah actually pregnant?"He had photos, taken from a suspicious distance as if someone had been secretly following her. They clearly showed Hannah’s belly growing larger. He even had a copy of the pregnancy report Dr. Mitchell had handed her when he confirmed the pregnancy. The whole thing felt too unusual, so he decided to find out just how much Steven knew."Where did you get these documents and photos? They look like they were taken without her knowledge.""That doesn’t matter right now. Just tell me if this report is real."Dr. Mitchell remembered the phone call he received from Hannah the day after confirming her pregnancy.She had asked him if it was possible to raise tw

Chapter 9

Linda’s POVI replayed everything that had happened at Ethan’s company earlier when I returned home."When I realized Hannah was pregnant, I panicked for a second. But I handled it perfectly. Now Ethan won’t care about that baby at all, and he won’t believe anything anymore."I had listened in on Ethan, Steven, and Dr. Mitchell talking in the office, so I grasped the situation immediately. I tried to corner Dr. Mitchell afterward to get details, but he wouldn’t give me anything. Still, I told Ethan and Steven that I had heard it from him and made it sound like the baby belonged to another man and that my sister had disappeared because she was unfaithful."Heh… I really am smart. And the story about being the Jefferson family’s daughter, so Dr. Mitchell would confide in me? That was a good touch. Ethan and Steven didn’t even look into who the father might be, so they couldn’t argue back."She was pleased with herself, proud that her quick thinking had shaken Ethan and Steven so eas

Chapter 10

Linda’s POVThis pregnancy might be the perfect chance to tear Hannah and Ethan apart for good.The next morning, I brought up my sister during breakfast with my parents."Father, Mother… have either of you spoken with Hannah lately? I’ve tried calling her over and over, but I can’t reach her. I got worried, maybe too worried, so I contacted Ethan. But he can’t reach her either, and apparently she hasn’t come home at all.""What did you say? Linda? Is this true?”My father, David Jefferson, shot up from his chair and leaned in to look closely at my face."Yes. That’s why I’m so worried…"Once David realized Hannah was gone, he would contact Ethan to confirm. And once he learned the truth, he would do everything in his power to track her down.Since Steven refused to tell me anything, I decided to use my father’s authority to force information out of Ethan and get whatever he knew.Just as I expected, the moment breakfast ended, David called Ethan to confirm Hannah’s situation.
