All Chapters of His Lies Showed in Her Baby Bump: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

On the other end of the line, my upperclassman, Andrew Jones, could barely contain his excitement."That's fantastic, Melissa! Professor Carr and the rest of the team have missed you so much over the years. They'll be thrilled to know you're joining."Years ago, Melissa had given up the chance to study abroad just to marry Hayden.For three years, she turned down her mentor Benjamin Carr's invitations time and again, and devoted herself full‑time to looking after Hayden."But Melissa, this research project requires strict confidentiality. Joining means you'll be off the grid for years, maybe even decades. Is your family…"Melissa let out a soft laugh. "I don't have a family anymore."Ever since her mother passed away, she had considered Hayden her only remaining kin. She never imagined that he had viewed her as nothing more than a stand-in and a tool all along.In that case, rather than waiting around to get divorced, she would take the lead and walk away.Andrew sighed before

Melissa's breath hitched. She held it, straining to hear how Hayden would respond.A second later, a low laugh came from the man inside. "Of course, she will. She's always done whatever I asked."A bitter smile tugged at Melissa's lips. She was his wife. Even in a secret marriage, she shouldn't have been reduced to a lapdog.Yet he didn't defend her for a second. He simply went along with their mockery.After taking a deep breath, Melissa pushed the door open and stepped inside. Lydia was nestled close to Hayden's side.The lively atmosphere vanished instantly. One of the guys who knew about them chuckled awkwardly to cut the tension. "Hey, Melissa's here too. Take a seat!"These were Hayden's close friends, but none of them thought she was good enough for him. None of them ever recognized her as his wife.Melissa handed the medicine to Hayden. "Here's your medicine."She turned to leave right after, but Hayden's brows knitted together.Lydia reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Before Melissa even reached the door, the sounds of a woman's moans and a man's low grunts echoed from inside.She stood there frozen, staring blankly ahead as the conversation drifted through the door."Hayden, you really do love me the most," Lydia purred.Hayden's voice came through, thick and raspy, "So, how are you going to thank me?"Lydia let out a breathless giggle. "Please, master, do whatever you want with me."Then, her gasp rang out, followed by the rhythmic, intense sounds of impact.After what felt like an eternity, the noise inside finally subsided.Melissa had long since gone numb.Lydia pushed open the door with flushed cheeks, holding the glass bracelet in her hand. Faint marks dotted her neck.When Hayden stepped out and saw Melissa standing right outside, a sudden surge of panic hit him. "Melissa, how long have you been here? Did you hear anything?"Melissa forced a faint smile. "I just got here."Right in front of Melissa, Lydia unhurriedly unwrapped the

The next day, Melissa changed into a simple outfit and caught a cab to the Webb residence.Young elites from all the top families were attending the party today. Kyle's primary goal was to find a suitable match for Lydia to secure a marriage alliance.Over the past few years, with the unwavering backing of the Davies family, the Webb family had successfully cemented their status among Jindale's elite.The party had yet to officially begin. Melissa stuck out like a sore thumb among the young heirs and heiresses decked out in high fashion.However, she didn't mind at all. She just quietly found a secluded corner to sit by herself.Before long, Lydia slowly walked down the stairs under the admiring gazes of the crowd, wearing a diamond tiara and an exquisite, lavish gown.With her fair skin and flawless makeup, she looked like a goddess descending into the room.What drew even more attention was the man at her side—Hayden, the heir to Jindale's most powerful family.Clad in a blac

Hayden opened the box in confusion. Inside were screenshots of Lydia's messages to Melissa, along with a medical report for an abortion.His chest tightened as his eyes locked onto the words "two months pregnant". The baby he had longed for had actually existed.He checked the date. It was two weeks ago, the exact day he'd run into Melissa at the hospital.Why had she undergone an abortion? Had she overheard what he said that day?Panicked, Hayden pulled out his phone and dialed Melissa's number, but it went straight to a dead tone.Lydia latched onto his arm. Tears were streaming down her face as she played the victim. "Hayden, I have no idea how that video got up there. What am I supposed to do now? My reputation is ruined, and today was supposed to be the day I chose my husband."Actually, after the initial shock of seeing the footage, she'd been thrilled.Why hadn't she thought of this sooner? Now Hayden would be forced to go public with their relationship and take responsib
