Chapter 1

I was locked in the basement. Only the sound of rats scratching at the walls kept me company in the darkness.I cried and pleaded, “Cole, please spare Oliver. He’s only seven years old. I’ll climb all six thousand stone steps on my knees and fast for seven days in his place.”Cole Jackman said impatiently, “If you hadn’t hired someone to crash into me and then pretended to save me, I would never have married you. Ashley wouldn’t have been so heartbroken that she was taken away and forced to suffer in the mountains. You should bear the consequences of the marriage you forced. Only a mother who lies and harms others could give birth to a child with such dark energy.”I collapsed helplessly on the ground, tears streaming down my face. “I never hired anyone to hurt you.”Cole retorted coldly, “The evidence is right in front of us. Your acting skills are impressive, but you won’t fool me again.”He turned to the guard. “Starve her for three days. Not a drop of water. Let her reflect.”

Chapter 2

Cole invested most of the Jackman Group’s funds into newly developed real‑estate projects. If I withdrew my investment, the company’s financial chain would snap, and bankruptcy would be inevitable.Harry had asked me to invest the same way eight years ago. He hoped I could save the legacy built by three generations of the Jackman family.I knelt in the family hall for three days, broke ties with my own family, and married Cole. I ignored my brother Emilio Darcy’s warnings and poured my entire dowry into the Jackman Group. Even my last remaining relative grew disappointed in me for it.And what did I receive in return?I stood up with Oliver in my arms and said calmly, “Cole saved me from drowning ten years ago. I repaid that debt. Now that Oliver is gone, I have no reason to stay in the Jackman family.”Harry bent over, looking as though he had aged ten years in an instant. “I’ll call Cole right now. You can deal with him however you want. Just… give him a chance to make up for th

Ashley gently comforted Cole. “Cole, don’t be angry. Nicola is just jealous because you’re so kind to me. When Oliver becomes my son, I’ll discipline him properly.”Cole replied coldly, “If she hadn’t deceived me into marrying her, you wouldn’t have been so heartbroken that someone could trick you into the mountains and make you suffer. She owes you. What she’s enduring now is nothing compared to what you went through.”He held Ashley close and walked out.Ashley glanced back at me with open contempt, triumphant, almost smug.I carried Oliver upstairs to change his clothes, but several housekeepers blocked my way.“Mr. Jackman said this room has good lighting. He wants Ms. White’s unborn child to stay here in the future.”“It’s bad luck to have… that… in the room. Mr. Jackman and Ms. White will be upset if they find out.”Anyone could see Oliver was gone, anyone except his father, who still insisted he was pretending.Oliver had died alone in that abandoned monastery because of

Ashley lowered her head and exclaimed, “Ah, my shoes got dirty from the dust just now.”Cole spoke softly. “I will buy you another pair this afternoon.”Ashley’s eyes reddened as she cried quietly. “These were a gift from you. Why did Nicola keep bullying me?”She gave me a cautious glance.Cole frowned at me. “Clean Ashley’s shoes for her.”The housekeeper beside her sneered. “Mrs. Jackman, I can teach you how to serve others.”He looked up at Cole as if he wanted praise, and Cole silently approved his behavior.My face was pressed against Ashley’s shoes.Ashley laughed with triumph and took several photos. After a moment, she screamed again. “My feet hurt so much. Nicola, you do not have to make me suffer if you do not want to clean my shoes. Pregnant women are afraid of getting hurt.”Cole grabbed my collar and slapped me. “You are cruel. Make her kneel in the yard. She can get up only when Ashley calms down. Find that hidden child and make him kneel at the monastery to pra

Ashley said with disdain, “The Darcy family of Jakerville invested that money in Cole. You are just an orphan girl.”Harry rushed over with a cane. His frail body shook as he slapped Cole several times across the face.Cole fell to the ground in defeat. “Nicola is the heiress of the Darcy family of Jakerville. She cut ties with her family to marry you. Oliver looks just like you. How could he not be your son?”A gun was suddenly pressed against Cole’s forehead. “You should die.”I looked up. It was Emilio.Tears filled my eyes as I spoke with a trembling voice. “Emilio, I regret it so much.”Everyone was forced to kneel on the ground.The priest stared fearfully at the bodyguards and the long line of luxury cars outside. He opened his mouth to speak, but Ashley’s threatening glare silenced him.Emilio helped me up with great care. He looked at the wound on my stomach and spoke with a grim tone. “I will take you to the hospital now. I will make them pay a thousandfold. They dare

Ashley arrogantly caressed her swollen stomach and walked toward me. She muttered, “It is too late for you to be scared. Your son climbed six thousand stone steps on his knees, and his knees were worn down until the bone showed. I will make you suffer even more than he did.”She reached out to grab the gun from Emilio. “Your prop looks very real.”Emilio lifted his hand and pulled the trigger.Bang.A wound appeared on Ashley’s cheek. Her eyes widened in terror as her legs gave out. She fell to the ground and trembled while crawling backward. “It is real. It cannot be. How could she be the heiress of the Darcy family of Jakerville?”Cole tugged at Harry’s sleeve and spoke with a shaking voice. “Was it really Nicola who invested in Jackman Group? Why did you not tell me? Is Oliver also my child? What about the paternity test report?”Harry slapped Cole several times. “Fool. What do you have that Nicola would need to deceive you for? She hid everything to protect your pride. You fa

After I got into the car, Cole limped after me. He ran, stumbled, and fell to the ground with his hand stretched toward me.Emilio had installed a hidden camera in the Jackman family’s house. He handed me a smart tablet. “Dog‑eat‑dog situations are ridiculous. I will withdraw my investment from Jackman Group. Their bankruptcy will be Cole’s first punishment.”I took the tablet from him. Cole was cutting Ashley with a knife.The rain mixed with blood and spread across the ground.Ashley cried for mercy. “Cole, please spare me. I only made a mistake because I loved you. Do not kill me. Think about our three years together.”Cole grabbed her face and stabbed her in the chest. “How dare you mention the past? I was devoted to you. You stole Jackman Group’s confidential information and sold it. How did I wrong you? You killed me once, and you want to do it again.”Ashley spat blood and shouted, “It is your fault. I only asked for five hundred million, and you refused. If you loved me,

Chapter 8

All the housekeepers feared being dragged down by the Jackman family and left. The large villa was occupied only by Cole and Ashley.Cole knelt in the center of the living room and hit his head with his fists. His face was streaked with blood as he muttered, “This is karma. Nicola, I miss you so much. I miss the days when you and Oliver were with me. We were so happy.”His words made me recall the past.Oliver had been cheerful and full of energy. When Cole came home from work, Oliver would run into his arms and let him hold him.I had been cooking soup in the kitchen and baking cupcakes.Cole held Oliver as he leaned against the kitchen door. He smiled while watching me. “What delicious food did you make today? I am in for a treat.”Oliver wrapped his arms around Cole’s neck. “I helped. I helped shape the cupcakes.”Cole kissed Oliver’s cheek. “My son is very talented.”Those happy times were gone forever.Ashley covered her forehead and sobbed. “I did not want Oliver to go t

Chapter 9

On the first day Cole returned to Switzerton to beg, a man whose project Cole had taken in the past came to see him.The spoiled food on the ground was forced into Cole’s mouth by the guard assigned to watch him. “If someone offers you food, do not be picky. Eat it.”One of Cole’s former friends also came to visit.Cole threw the meal his friend brought onto the ground. “I do not need your pity.”His friend shouted, “I bought you food because I pity you. You do not appreciate kindness. You deserve to go bankrupt and become a beggar. Look at yourself. You will be a beggar for the rest of your life. Beg me when you starve, and I will buy you a meal.”Cole screamed in despair. “Get away from me. I do not need anyone’s pity.”Whenever his injured arm bled, someone treated the wound to prevent infection.One of his subordinates came to see him. “I thought you would always be above everyone. Let us take a photo together. I will post it. Many of your employees will visit you. You will
