Chapter 1

I walked a slow circle around Rachel, studying her belly."You're sure the baby is his?"Rachel stuck out her belly and nestled into Adrian's arms."Sophie, I'm not sleeping around. Adrian is the only man I've ever been with."I was about to respond when Adrian cut me off."Got this for you."He tossed a bag at me.My heart skipped. I thought it might be a belated anniversary gift. With a sliver of hope, I opened the bag.Inside was a drab gray housekeeper's uniform."Do you like it, Sophie? I picked it out just for you."Rachel bit back a laugh."What's this supposed to mean?"My voice shook so badly I hardly recognized it.Amusement threaded Adrian's voice."Rachel is pregnant and can't manage on her own. She's moving in, and you can look after her.""Go get the room ready. And change the sheets."I could not risk letting him discover the truth, so I swallowed every question burning on my tongue.Clutching the uniform, I forced myself toward the bedroom.Out of the corner of my eye,

Chapter 2

"Try to understand Rachel. She can't stand looking at our wedding photo right now."His tone held a trace of gentleness, but his words sent a chill through me."You really want to throw away our wedding photo?"Silence swallowed the room.After a long beat, he answered without emotion."Once Rachel has the baby, we can take new ones."He raised his hand and gently stroked the top of my head."Let me take a look at your ankle."He knelt on one knee, placed my injured foot on his thigh, and gently massaged my ankle."I'm sorry."He had barely finished speaking when a woman's shrill voice cut through the room behind him."Adrian! My stomach hurts so bad!"At the sound, he shot to his feet like a reflex.He went to her side, placed his hand on her belly, and soothed her in a soft voice."You don't mind, do you, Sophie? The baby must be missing their daddy."I forced the corners of my mouth into a smile. Of course I didn't mind.After all, the baby wasn't Adrian's.He left with Rachel in hi

Chapter 3

When I woke, the entire mansion was dead silent.They had already left.I eased my foot onto the floor. After Adrian had massaged it the night before, the pain had faded to a dull ache.A small, quiet joy rose in my chest.But the thought of Rachel pushed it back down.I got dressed and went to the veterinary clinic to pick up Nina, the dog Adrian and I had raised for seven years.The moment I opened the front door, I heard a woman's coy laugh from inside.Weak from her hospital stay, Nina caught a stranger's scent and bared her teeth at Rachel."Sophie, why did you bring a dog home? I'm pregnant. You can't keep one in the house."She covered her nose and looked at me with disgust.Her expression made it seem as though I were holding something filthy.I ignored her and set the dog down. She bolted straight to Adrian's feet, barking nonstop."Sophie, Rachel's right. Maybe you should give Nina away."He kicked Nina without hesitation. She let out a piercing yelp of pain.I limped toward

Chapter 4

"Get rid of that mutt today, or you can leave with it."His face was ashen, every word absolute, leaving no room for argument.I went to the room in silence to pack my things."Adrian, quick, talk her out of it. She's packing to leave.""She won't leave me."Adrian just stood there, a smirk of contempt at the corner of his mouth, his tone certain and dismissive.When he'd first come home, I'd been terrified he would realize he was an android. I'd clung to him all day, never letting him do anything on his own.I was terrified he would get hurt and discover the synthetic blue fluid beneath his skin. Only after the engineers upgraded him to pass as fully human did I begin to give him space.Carrying the packed luggage, I rushed back to them despite the searing pain in my ankle."Where are my things?"Fury burned on my face and my eyes were bloodshot as I screamed at the two of them."What things?"He was visibly startled, his brows furrowing."My letters and my ring! Give them back to me!

Chapter 5

"Stop making a scene. Rachel's hungry. Go cook."He kicked my injured ankle, irritation thick in his voice.I said nothing. I stared out the window, eyes hollow.The next second, I grabbed my luggage, held Nina tight, and walked straight out the door.He clearly hadn't expected me to actually leave.His voice chased me from behind, anger barely covering the humiliation in it."If you leave, don't bother coming back!"I walked around the house to the window where he'd thrown the ring.Thick clouds blotted out the moon, leaving the grounds pitch-black.I turned on my phone's flashlight and searched the grass by its faint glow.Nina trailed beside me, whimpering softly.I knelt on the ground. Tears fell one by one, soaking the earth.Dirt and grass packed under my fingernails.Sobbing, I clawed desperately through the grass.Where had the ring landed?Nina barked once toward a spot, and when I looked up, the ring was right there, not far away.I snatched it up and slid it onto my finger.

Chapter 6

Dr. Cole hesitated on the other end of the line."Ms. Weston, are you sure you've thought this through?"I said yes. If this version of Adrian no longer loved me, there was no reason to keep him."You're certain you want to wipe his memory and then have him destroyed?"Dr. Cole asked the question again."Yes. But let me be the one to wipe his memory.""Can you really go through with it? You've spent three years with this android, and he's the most successful one ever created."The moment I remembered he'd burned all of Adrian's letters, I wished I could destroy him right now."Can an android have feelings?"Dr. Cole was silent for a beat before answering."In theory, no.""Then why did he cheat? He operates based on Adrian's personality. Does that mean Adrian would have cheated too, if he were alive?"I tried to keep my composure, but my voice cracked with tears."Ms. Weston, Mr. Hart died when he loved you the most. Remember, the person hurting you now isn't him."I knew I was torturi

Chapter 7

For days, Adrian didn't see Sophie.He couldn't shake the hollow feeling inside."Adrian, quick, feel my belly. The baby's kicking."Adrian pulled himself from his thoughts and rested a hand on Rachel's belly. The life moving beneath his palm filled him with wonder."Sophie hasn't been home for days.""She's just throwing a little tantrum. Where would she even go without you? She has no job and no money."Adrian's tone took on a note of irritation."I spoil her too much. I even forgave her for cheating, and she still pulls this.""Adrian, I want to buy things for the baby."He nodded and took Rachel to the mall.Nina had run out of dog food, so I had no choice but to take her to the mall to pick some up."Ms. Weston, I can go for you.""I've been cooped up for days. I need some fresh air."Walking beside me was Tyler Reed, a junior researcher newly assigned to the android project."Tyler, hold Nina for me while I look around."I'd barely handed Nina to Tyler when I felt someone grab me

Chapter 8

Adrian returned to the mansion with Rachel.He locked himself in the room alone and read my journal.The more he read, the more his panic grew.He couldn't accept the truth that he was an android.Rachel knocked on the door from outside, her voice tearful."Adrian, open the door. My stomach really hurts."Adrian opened the door, rage churning in his eyes.He wrapped his hand around Rachel's throat."Tell me," he snarled. "Whose baby is it?"Rachel clawed at the hand around her neck, forcing out the words. "It's... yours..."He let go. Rachel steadied herself against the doorframe."Adrian, what's going on with you?"He didn't answer. He just placed his hand on Rachel's belly.His voice softened. "I knew it. Sophie was lying to me.""What did she say?"Rachel swallowed hard, still shaken."That the baby isn't mine."Rachel pouted and gave his chest a light swat. "If the baby isn't yours, then whose could it be?"My phone rang. I picked up."Sophie, were you lying to me?"It was Adrian.

Chapter 9

"Ms. Palmer, the man beside you isn't Adrian Hart. He's an android. The real Adrian died in a car accident several years ago."Rachel went rigid and slowly turned to look at Adrian."Adrian, is what he said true?"Adrian pulled her into his arms, frowning. "It's not true. If I were an android, how could you be carrying my child?"He thought that would convince her, but instead she pulled out of his embrace."One more thing, Ms. Palmer. Sophie Weston is the controlling owner of Hart Technologies."Both of them froze."That's impossible," Adrian said in disbelief.I let a slow smile spread across my face."When we initialized you, my ownership of Hart Technologies was loaded as fixed background knowledge. It never occurred to you to question it."Something vicious flashed in Rachel's eyes. "Adrian, is it true?"Panic spread across his face. Beads of sweat covered his forehead.He grabbed his phone and made a call.After getting his answer, he turned to me with a look as dark as a storm.
