[ NANCY’S POV]The loud sound of the front doorbell suddenly woke me up from my deep sleep. I blinked against the bright morning light, wondering who could possibly be at my door. I didn’t order anything, did I? I asked myself in confusion. Nobody in this new country was supposed to know I was here, especially since I hadn't planned on running away at all. Everything had happened so fast, and my head was still spinning from the chaotic journey.I got out of bed quickly, my heart beating a little fast with nervousness. I walked out of the bedroom, down the narrow hallway, and stood on my tiptoes to look through the small peephole in the front door. My eyes went wide with total shock. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.Standing on the porch, holding two massive suitcases and smiling from ear to ear, was my best friend.I threw the door open, completely speechless. "Oh my god! What are you doing here?" I cried out, my voice cracking with emotion.She didn't even say anything at fir

[ NANCY’S POV]It had been four months now since I left Dave and the mansion. Four long months of trying to start over. My pregnancy was really starting to show now, and my baby bump was small but visible in fitted clothes..Things hadn't been easy for us. My best friend was amazing, she had finally completed her job transfer so she could move down here to be with me permanently. Every morning, she would wake up, get dressed, and head out to her new workplace, leaving me alone in the house. I felt so guilty just sitting around. Day after day, I sat at the dining table, typing on my laptop and applying for a lot of different jobs online. I sent out my resume to so many places but I never got a single reply back. I was starting to feel so helpless, wondering how I was going to support my baby.One morning, I was sitting on the sofa, trying to distract myself by watching movies. The house was quiet, and I was feeling pretty down. Suddenly, my phone started ringing, breaking the sile

[ NANCY’S POV]Two months have passed since I started working at Apex Horizon Enterprises. Over those weeks, the friendship between Adrian and I grew really deep. He was such a sweet guy. He would always call my office phone just to check on me and see how my day was going.One afternoon, Adrian came down to my department to meet me at my desk. He smiled warmly and invited me out to a dinner date that very evening. I hesitated for a second, but I couldn't deny him immediately because he was always so good to me. So, I smiled and told him, "No problem, Adrian. I would love to go."When I got home after work, I quickly prepared myself. I wanted to look nice, so I chose a very comfortable but beautiful dress that neatly covered my growing baby bump. I did my hair, put on a little makeup, and went straight to the restaurant to meet him.On getting there, I saw Adrian sitting at a table near the window. He had dressed up nicely in a sharp outfit, and he was looking really great in it. Whe

[ LYDIA’S POV ]I marched into the guest bedroom, my whole body shaking with pure anger. I was so furious I could barely breathe. How dare Dave push me away like that? I had dressed up so hot and sexy, wearing almost nothing just to please him, and he had the nerve to chase me out like a dog!What made me even more angry was that he was doing all this because of that bitch Nancy. Even though she had packed her bags and left him, I still couldn't get my man back. She was gone, yet she still had a hold on him. I hissed loudly, pulling my normal clothes off the bed and shoving my legs into my pants. I snatched my shirt, put it on, and grabbed my handbag, my mind racing with hatred.When I walked back out into the living room, I met him still sitting in the exact same position on the couch. He was staring blankly at the floor, looking completely wretched. He didn't even look up at me when I walked past. His total indifference made something inside me boil over. I couldn't just leave wit

[ DAVE’S POV ]After Lydia slammed the front door and left, her harsh words kept echoing inside my head, tearing my soul apart. “She bled right in front of the gynecologist department... The fault is completely yours for not seeing what was right there under your nose!”I collapsed against the wall, my legs shaking so badly I could barely stand. I truly didn't know. I was so completely blinded by Lydia’s lies that I couldn’t even help my own wife when she was bleeding right there in front of the gynecologist office. I didn't even know that was the reason she was bleeding in the first place. I had been so blind, so foolish, and now my wife was gone with my unborn baby.I had already tried everything humanly possible to find Nancy. I had used money, every connection, and all the power in my hands to search for her everywhere in the city, but I was completely unable to see her. She had wiped her tracks so well, leaving absolutely nothing behind for me to follow.But as I sat there crying
