Chapter 1

My boyfriend, Liam Burnett, blurted out the question before he could stop himself. Flustered, he bumped into the champagne tower beside him, sending glasses crashing to the floor and champagne spilling everywhere.The commotion shattered the mood, and every eye in the room turned to me.Liam froze for a moment before quickly regaining his composure. When he spoke again, his voice was polite but distant. "Everyone, this is Natalie Elling. She's my childhood friend Julian's younger sister."I knew exactly what he was doing. He was already trying to distance himself from me.My chest tightened with a sharp ache.Was I really that embarrassing to him? We'd been together for five years, yet in front of everyone else, I was nothing more than his childhood friend's little sister.I forced a bitter smile and gave him exactly what he wanted, pretending we barely knew each other."Hi, Liam."My brother, Julian Elling, quickly stepped in to smooth things over, and everyone seemed to under

The second I stepped outside, Liam hurried after me. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me into a dressing room.Before I could react, he had me backed against the wall, one hand tilting my chin up. The cold distance from earlier was gone, replaced by the familiar affection in his eyes."What's wrong? Jealous, babe?"He teased me the same way he always did. He looked and sounded like the Liam I remembered, but somehow, things between us didn't feel the same anymore.When I didn't answer, Liam seemed to assume I was angry.He said gently, "Don't get the wrong idea, Natalie. Victoria's pregnant, and she can't exactly go home and tell her family she got pregnant before she was married."I only agreed to go along with the proposal so she'd have something to tell her parents and wouldn't have to deal with everyone judging her."Liam only rambled like this when he felt guilty and was trying too hard to justify himself.And even if the whole thing really was just for show, why did it have

Chapter 3

Liam and Victoria's baby? So the proposal hadn't been an act after all?As if that weren't ironic enough, Liam had called Victoria his wife in front of everyone.In the five years we'd been together, he'd never once called me that. The most affectionate he'd ever gotten was "babe."I'd brought it up more than once, telling him I wanted us to call each other husband and wife around other people, the way some couples did.Every time, he'd flick my forehead and laugh, teasing me for being so impatient. He always said we could call each other that once we were actually married.I'd assumed he simply didn't believe in using "husband" and "wife" before marriage, so I'd never pushed it. But now he'd called Victoria his wife without a second thought.So that had never been the reason. I simply wasn't the woman he wanted to call his wife.While I stood there frozen, the doctor sighed. "Mr. Burnett, your wife is only four months along, and her pregnancy isn't very stable. We'll do everyth

The caption read, "I was craving cherries, and someone immediately bought me a whole box. Baby and I are definitely feeling spoiled!"The comments were full of congratulations and people saying how jealous they were.I looked around the quiet apartment and laughed bitterly to myself.We had both been pregnant, but while Liam catered to Victoria's every need, I had gone to the hospital alone for an abortion. He didn't even know I'd been pregnant.In the past, a post like this would've sent me spiraling. I would've been so hurt that I'd probably have cried my eyes out. But this time, I felt surprisingly calm.I liked her post and left a comment. "Wishing you both a long and happy life together."Then I called Julian. "Julian, I want to move back home."He picked up almost immediately. "I'll come get you right now.""Okay. See you soon," I said softly.I'd barely hung up when Liam's low voice sounded behind me. "Who are you meeting? And what's with the suitcase?"I froze. I had

"You're… pregnant?" Liam asked.I thought he would ask why I'd ended the pregnancy. Instead, his face darkened. He barely glanced at the paperwork before tearing it to shreds and throwing the pieces in my face."Victoria gets pregnant, and suddenly you're pregnant too? Are you seriously trying to compete with her for my attention? After everything we've been through, is this how little you trust me?"I almost laughed.The nerve of him. He was the one who had betrayed me first. Yet without asking me a single question, he'd already decided I was trying to compete with Victoria.And somehow, I was the one who didn't trust him.I couldn't be bothered to argue. I gave him a flat look. "Think whatever you want."Just then, Julian called to say he'd arrived.I was done with this. I pushed past Liam and headed for the door.When he realized I was actually leaving, his temper flared. "Fine. Go! But if you walk out that door, don't even think about coming back!"I didn't stop. I only w

When we arrived, Julian gave me a quick pat on the shoulder. "I'll park the car. You go on ahead."As I searched for the private room, I turned a corner and unexpectedly spotted Victoria with a man I didn't recognize. The two of them were all over each other."Honey, don't worry. Nothing ever happened between Liam and me. He doesn't even know the baby isn't his. That idiot has no idea I've been playing him this whole time!"Since he wants to be a father so badly, let him. He can raise our child for us while we sit back and enjoy the benefits. And while we're at it, we can get our hands on his money too."Once he has nothing left to give us, the three of us can leave and never come back!"The man broke into a huge grin and praised Victoria for being so clever.I had just stumbled onto one hell of a scandal. Victoria was already married. This whole time, she'd been deceiving Liam and using him for his money.I immediately pulled out my phone and started recording, so I'd have proo

Chapter 7

For a moment, everyone was too stunned to speak.Liam looked completely blindsided. "What? You had an abortion? That was my child too! How could you make that decision without even asking me?"My expression remained cold. "The moment you proposed to Victoria, that baby stopped being yours. It was mine alone, so whether I kept it was up to me."That sent Liam over the edge. His eyes reddened with rage as he grabbed my shoulders."Natalie, when did you become so unreasonable? Are you really so jealous of Victoria that you'd kill an innocent child because of her? You're a murderer!"He was so worked up that his grip tightened until I cried out in pain.Julian couldn't stand by any longer. He stepped in front of me, then punched Liam hard enough to send him sprawling."Liam, I treated you like a brother, and this is how you treated Natalie? You piece of shit! I'll beat the hell out of you for her and for the baby I never even got to meet!"Liam lunged at him, and within seconds, th

I shook off Liam's hand. "Don't touch me. You disgust me. If you can't let Victoria go, then fine. I'll step aside and let the three of you be a family."With that, I took Julian by the arm and turned to leave.Liam went even paler. For the first time, real panic flashed across his face. He hurried in front of me, blocking my path."Natalie, after everything we've been through, you can really just throw it all away? Aren't you afraid I'll actually choose Victoria?"I had once loved Liam so much that I couldn't stand seeing him show Victoria even the slightest bit of affection, and he knew it.Whenever I got upset with him, he would deliberately give Victoria attention. He knew exactly how jealous it made me, and he used it to make me give in every single time.But I was done with him now. Whatever he did with Victoria had nothing to do with me anymore.I didn't even bother looking at him when I said, "Hope you two last forever."Liam opened his mouth to say something else, but

Soon, all my hard work finally paid off. I passed the exams and earned my management certification, along with several related credentials.With Julian's recommendation, I landed a job as a hotel manager.And of all people to run into on my first day, it had to be Liam and Victoria. They were there to hold a one-month celebration for their baby.That was when it hit me that Victoria had already given birth. Somehow, eight months had flown by.The moment Liam saw me, he raised an eyebrow and gave me a mocking look."Well, what a coincidence, Natalie. So this is where you work now? At the front desk? If you'd just listened to me and married me back then, you could be sitting at home enjoying an easy life right now."Instead, you ended up working as a receptionist."Victoria stood beside him with the baby in her arms, looking just as pleased with herself."I really should thank you, Natalie. If you hadn't stepped aside, I never would've gotten this lucky and ended up with a husban

Chapter 10

A second later, Liam stormed over. He helped Victoria to her feet, scooped the baby up from the floor, then turned and slapped me hard across the face."Natalie, have you lost your mind? You're jealous because Victoria had my baby, so you took it out on him?" he snapped.My face hardened. Without hesitation, I slapped him right back. "I didn't drop the baby. Victoria did it herself to frame me. And I have nothing to be jealous of because that child isn't even yours!"Liam froze, disbelief written all over his face. "What did you say? He's not mine?"He turned to Victoria, a hint of suspicion creeping into his eyes.Victoria went pale and bit her lip, but she recovered almost immediately. Then she threw herself into Liam's arms and clung to him, her voice catching as she spoke."Liam, don't listen to Natalie. How could Jonah not be your son? You were there for me throughout my pregnancy and even when I gave birth! Are you really going to doubt me just because she's trying to come
