Chapter 1 Our Marriage Was Never Real

"I'm glad you've finally come to your senses, Sera!"However, I didn't have the strength to answer. The pain in my abdomen was getting worse, and blood kept flowing from between my legs.The panic in my heart grew heavier by the second. With every bit of strength I had left, I dragged myself toward the nurses' station and managed to whisper, "Please, save me. Save my baby."My father's frantic voice came through the phone, but I'd already lost consciousness. I collapsed at the doorway.…When I woke up, Orson was holding my hand. "Are you awake, Seraphina? Congratulations. We have a son."The joy in his eyes looked genuine, but so was the fact that he'd publicly abandoned me yesterday while I was fully dilated, choosing instead to perform a C-section on a dog.I quietly pulled my hand away. "Don't congratulate me. Let's take a break."Orson's expression changed. He dismissed my words as if they meant nothing. "Stop this nonsense. If I hadn't gone yesterday, Cressie's dog and

Chapter 2 Three Years Was All We Had

I'd asked Orson nine times to go to City Hall with me to get our marriage license, right up until they closed for the day.I'd always believed he was genuinely too busy with work. But unfortunately, I happened to see his messages with Cressida."Orson, we agreed we'd get our marriage licenses on the same day. Don't you dare go behind my back and get yours without me.""Don't worry. Why don't we just go get our marriage licenses together? That counts as doing it together, don't you think so?"Cressida responded with an emoji.I finally understood the truth. It wasn't that Orson didn't want to get married. He just didn't want to marry me.My whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. Not long after, I started bleeding.That was why my baby had to stay in an incubator from the moment he was born.I let out a bitter laugh, but the ringing of my phone pulled me out of my thoughts."Sera, which hospital are you at? I'll send someone over. You're making me worry."I sniffed and s

Chapter 3 The Lie He Believed

I glanced at my phone and asked in confusion, "Who is this?"Without answering, the caller simply hung up.I didn't bother asking any further.The nurse had already told me that my baby was recovering well and could be taken out of the incubator in three days.By then, it would be time for me to leave too.I booked my ticket and made all the necessary arrangements. Not long after, Orson came rushing over. "Seraphina, I fired her."He handed me a termination notice with Cressida's name on it.I stared at it in surprise, and Orson continued, "From now on, the three of us will live together as a family. Take good care of yourself during your recovery. Once you're better, we'll get our marriage license. We'll pick a nice date."I looked at the tenderness in Orson's expression, and for a moment, I found myself distracted.Before I could fully process what he had said, he reached over and gently ruffled my hair. "I've got to get back to the lab. I'll come see you tomorrow."Before

Chapter 4 A Mother's Desperation

A flicker of disgust crossed Orson's eyes. "Can you stop acting like a shrew? We're at my workplace."Before I could say anything, Cressida clutched the baby and backed away in fear."Orson, I've heard that women with postpartum depression can become really scary. Why don't we send Seraphina to a psychiatric hospital for now? Once she's better, we'll bring her home."Orson frowned and nodded. "I'll call the hospital right now."I finally lost it."Orson, you don't listen to a word I say, but the second she says something, you want to send me to a psychiatric hospital! All I want is my child. Give him to me, and I'll leave right away. I swear I'll never bother you two again."Instead, Orson stepped forward and wrapped his arms around me, as if trying to comfort me."Seraphina, don't be afraid. I'll have them come up with the best treatment plan for you and make sure you recover as quickly as possible. As soon as you're out, I'll bring Alaric along to come get you."A flicker of

Chapter 5 A Chance at Last

Soren Ashford rushed in and untied me. I grabbed his arm. "Save my baby."He nodded. The sound of my baby crying came from outside.I pulled my baby into my arms and looked up at him. "Thank you."Orson and Cressida also came running out of the lab. Cressida let out a startled gasp. "Orson, are you sure this baby is yours?"Following that, she hurriedly clamped a hand over her mouth.But Orson's expression had already changed, and he pointed at me angrily. "Seraphina, you'd better explain yourself. Who is he?"I let out a cold laugh. "Who he is has nothing to do with you."My attitude only made Orson angrier. "Oh, really? I can't believe you actually cheated on me. That's disgusting."I stepped forward and slapped him across the face. "Watch your mouth, Orson. Don't forget, we never even got married."With that, I left together with Soren.Orson froze for a moment. When he tried to follow, Soren's men blocked his path.…Neither Soren nor I said a word during the drive.

Chapter 6 Over the Edge

I tore through the hospital in a blind panic, grabbing doctors as I went, but I couldn't find a single trace of Alaric.…By the time Soren arrived, he found me crouched blankly in the corner, the corners of my eyes red.He came over and pulled me into his arms. My voice was trembling as I said, "I lost Alaric again."Soren gently patted my back. "I'm here with you. We'll find Alaric soon."Soren called the police and used the Ashford family's influence. They finally found a trace of Alaric at a construction site.…When Soren and I arrived, I saw Alaric's tiny body hanging over the edge of the rooftop.I started toward him in a panic, but Cressida's voice stopped me. "Don't come any closer, okay? Wouldn't want him to fall now, would you?"I whipped around to face her. "What do you want?"She slowly stepped out of the shadows, her voice full of malice. "I want you dead. Once you're dead, Orson will truly belong to me. By then, I'll be the ultimate winner!"Her words left me

Chapter 7 The Child He Denied

Perhaps there was something frightening in my eyes, because Cressida couldn't help shrinking back. Still, she held her chin high. "If you dare push me off the building, Orson will never let you get away with it."I smirked. "Do you really think I'm afraid of him? I'm the only daughter of the Vale family in Fairmont, after all. Don't you know that?"A flicker of fear crossed Cressida's eyes.I waved a hand. "Hand her over to the police. Make arrangements with the prison and have them take good care of Ms. Fairchild."The emphasis in my voice finally pushed Cressida over the edge, and she began struggling wildly.Just then, Orson's furious voice rang out. "What are you going to do to Cressie?"I turned toward him and replied coldly, "What does it have to do with you?"Orson stared at me in disbelief. "Seraphina, what gives you the right to talk to me like that?"I couldn't hold back. I stepped forward and slapped him across the face. "You were willing to abandon your own child. I

Chapter 8 A Love Worth Choosing

"Also, the child really is yours. I lied to you, but so what? If you hadn't kept letting me get away with things, your child wouldn't have had to suffer through any of this." Cressida burst out laughing. "Officer, I've confessed to everything. He was my accomplice."Then, she looked at me and continued, "Seraphina, even if I go to prison, I'll drag Orson down with me. You will never be happy."I suddenly laughed. "I can't be bothered about him. Since you love him so much, I'll send him to prison to keep you company."A look of disbelief flashed across Cressida's face. "You're lying, aren't you? You love him more than anything."Orson stared at me in shock, too. "Seraphina, don't you love me anymore?"I nodded and took Soren's hand. "He's my rightful fiance. Officer, take them both away. I'll cooperate with the investigation and give my statement."With that, I walked away with Soren without a second thought.Orson watched me leave, and he panicked at once.With Alaric by my sid
