《Divorced Before He Knew I Was an Heiress》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 10 章

Elara’s POVMy hands wouldn’t stop shaking.I pressed the thin white envelope tightly against my chest like it might disappear if I loosened my grip. The bold words on the medical report blurred as tears filled my eyes again.Pregnant.A breathless laugh escaped my lips, half disbelief and half overwhelming happiness.“Karl… you’re going to be a father.”For three years, I had waited for this moment.Three years of trying.Three years of hoping.Three years of enduring cold silences, lonely nights, and a marriage that felt more like an obligation than love.But none of that mattered now because this changed everything.I wiped quickly at my eyes before anyone in the hospital lobby could notice me crying. Tonight was supposed to be different. Tonight, Karl would finally look at me as more than the unwanted woman his grandfather forced him to marry.Maybe this child would finally become the bridge between us.My heart pounded painfully as I stepped outside the private hospital.The cold

Elara’s POVThe question lingered heavily in the room. Mira stared at me silently for several seconds before finally looking away.“You were…” Her voice softened. “Too in love.”I frowned slightly. That answer unsettled me more than it should have because I couldn’t imagine it.I couldn’t imagine loving someone enough to endure humiliation. Especially not a man who thought getting hit by a car was an attention-seeking stunt.Mira let out a slow breath.“You met Chairman Varek three years ago during a charity gala,” she began quietly. “He collapsed unexpectedly and everyone panicked. Most people stood around waiting for someone else to help but you stayed with him until the ambulance arrived.”I listened silently.“You spent the entire night at the hospital with him even though you didn’t know who he was.”A strange feeling stirred inside me.“The chairman became attached to you after that,” Mira continued. “He treated you like family. Eventually, he decided you were the perfect wife fo

Elara’s POVI barely slept that night. After ending the call with the hospital, I spent hours staring at the ceiling.Someone believed I was connected to their family. The thought sounded ridiculous.I was an orphan. At least, that was what I had believed for years. But after recovering my childhood memories, I wasn’t so sure anymore.I remembered my parents, I remembered my brother, I remembered being taken away, and I remembered never finding my way back.The next morning, I left the mansion before anyone could stop me.The hospital wasn’t far. By the time I arrived, my palms were damp with nervousness.A nurse greeted me at the reception desk.“Miss Elara?”“Yes.”“Please follow me.”She led me through several hallways before stopping outside a private consultation room.My heartbeat quickened.The nurse pushed the door open.“Please go in.”Then she left.I stood there for several seconds before finally stepping inside.Two men were already waiting. One was middle-aged. The other l

Elara’s POVThe entire room froze. The elderly man standing at the entrance looked furious.His cane struck the marble floor twice then his gaze landed on the blood dripping from my hand.The color drained from his face.“Elara.” His voice sounded horrified.Karl immediately released my wrist. “Grandfather—”“Shut up.” The words cracked through the room like a whip.Karl fell silent.Chairman Varek strode forward and stopped beside me.His eyes moved from my bleeding hand to the shattered glass scattered across the floor. Then to Lilith and then back to Karl.“What happened here?”Nobody answered.The chairman’s expression darkened. “I asked a question.”Lilith swallowed. “Chairman Varek, it’s a misunderstanding—”“Did I ask you?”Lilith immediately lowered her head.The old man’s gaze returned to Karl. “Explain.”Karl’s jaw tightened. “Elara was being unreasonable.”I almost laughed.Chairman Varek looked ready to hit him with his cane.“Unreasonable?” His voice rose, “Your wife was h

Elara’s POVI spent the entire drive staring out the window.The city lights blurred past one after another while my brother sat beside me, occasionally glancing in my direction as though afraid I might suddenly disappear again.The thought almost made me smile. When we were children, he used to follow me everywhere. Apparently, some things never changed."You've been staring out that window for twenty minutes," he said finally.I looked at him. "I just found out I'm apparently rich."He laughed. "Apparently?""Yes, apparently." I gestured toward the convoy of luxury vehicles surrounding us."Yesterday I thought I was an orphan married to an asshole. Today I'm being escorted around like the president."My brother nearly choked on his laugh. "You really don't remember the last three years.""No."His smile faded slightly. For a moment neither of us spoke.Then he quietly asked, "Do you want those memories back?"I thought about it. Karl, the marriage, the humiliation, and the child I lo
