Yvonne's POVA full year had passed from the day I discovered my husband, Harvey Lupton, was cheating on me to the day I learned I was pregnant. Only then did the answer finally reveal itself. I had expected heartbreak, tears, maybe even a complete breakdown, but all I felt was peace of the bleakest kind. I had already cried through too many nights, and finally, the endless waiting had come to an end.In the world of grown-ups, some things went without saying. I took the cue and turned to leave.Harvey, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up. "You shouldn't use the child as a joke, Yvonne. You should just be grateful for what you have and stop making a scene. Rebecca is an orphan with no one else to turn to. Why do you insist on making things difficult for her?"I turned to Harvey, looking utterly baffled. "You think I'm making a scene here? I didn't blast your affair with Rebecca to the world, nor did I go out of my way to confront her and demand she leave you. I

Yvonne's POVI managed to push Harvey clear, but a shard of glass still pierced my lung. I was issued three consecutive critical condition notices during the surgery. Harvey wept uncontrollably outside the OR, sobbing that he wouldn't go on living if I died.I had been feeling drowsy and was about to lose consciousness, but hearing him say that instantly snapped me out of it.It was already 24 hours later when I was wheeled out of the OR and opened my eyes.Harvey, who was usually meticulously clean, stood before me looking disheveled for the first time. His eyes were bloodshot and swollen, and his face was covered with stubble. His gaze burned with intensity as he whispered in my ear, "There's absolutely nothing that can tear us apart from this moment on, Yvonne."I used to think that because we had beaten death, nothing could ever tear us apart, but Rebecca, who entered our lives just a year ago, managed to change that.In less than an hour, the baby I had wanted for seven ye

Third-Person POVHarvey panicked as he took the bleeding Rebecca to the hospital. He couldn't stop seeing Yvonne's devastated face right in front of him.He felt a sudden, sharp pang of guilt hit his chest. He couldn't help but wonder if he had really crossed the line this time. After all, Yvonne probably had just lost her head for a second, and Rebecca's life wasn't really in danger. He couldn't help but wonder why he couldn't be more understanding when Yvonne was just struggling emotionally because she was pregnant.He could only think about Yvonne after the doctor informed him that Rebecca had regained consciousness. He remembered how Yvonne used to smile at him all the time when they were young. He wondered when exactly she had stopped smiling at him altogether. Was it during his first affair or his second? He found that he couldn't recall it anymore.Rebecca, covered in bandages, stared up at him with eyes full of tears. "Please don't blame Mrs. Lupton for all of this, Mr.

Yvonne's POVI woke up the following morning feeling completely sore and aching all over. I kicked Noah away when he wanted to go another round. He gave me a pitiful, aggrieved look before obediently heading to the kitchen to make breakfast.I agreed to Noah's elaborate hot air balloon proposal, and three months later, I returned to Caldoria with Noah to formally initiate my divorce proceedings with Harvey.I ran into Harvey again on the day we filed for divorce. I couldn't even hide the disgust on my face when Harvey appeared before me again.Harvey's face brightened with undisguised happiness when he spotted me, though he immediately became hesitant. "Where have you been all this time, Yvonne? Do you know how much I missed you?"He spoke more cautiously when he noticed my silence. "I'm really sorry, Yvonne. I know I've made a mistake. I've finally realized what Rebecca is really like—she's a vile woman! Rebecca has already gotten what was coming to her, so please forgive me, Yvo
