All Chapters of Scarred for Love, Repaid with Betrayal: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

I stood in front of the familiar front door as memories from four years ago flashed back.It was supposed to be the day I accompanied her to her prenatal checkup. However, when I pushed open the master bedroom door, I found my best friend, Alan, on top of her, the two of them tangled together in bed.Our wedding photo sat on the nightstand, my happily smiling face smeared with filthy stains. As they thrashed around in bed, the frame fell onto the floor and shattered.Alan suddenly paused, staring at Megan's pregnant belly with a flash of concern in his eyes. "Henry is an orphan. He values you and the baby more than his own life."When you were kidnapped by your enemies early in your pregnancy, he risked his life to save you. He was tortured in captivity and ended up with severe depression."Do you really want me to keep going hard and make you lose the baby?"Megan looked at her pregnant belly, clearly annoyed. Then, she wrapped her arms around his neck."If it's not your baby,

When I woke up in the hospital, Megan was holding my hand tightly. She had aborted our baby."Henry, I was told our baby would cause problems for Bruce. So, I had an abortion." She looked at me apologetically.I broke down and yanked my hand away."Megan, how could you? The baby was already seven months along! His hands and feet were already formed. The doctor said he was perfectly healthy!" I screamed at her.Megan's eyes flickered. She let me rage as she slowly injected a sedative into me."Henry, you're emotionally unstable right now. Just sleep. You'll feel better when you wake up."When I woke up again, Alan and Pauline were by my side.Pauline saw the hollow look in my eyes and sighed. "Henry, do you think your child is the only one suffering?"Ten years ago, on your birthday, Megan was already pregnant with Alan's child. "They registered their marriage the very next day. But Alan felt he owed you his life, so he begged Megan to have an abortion."Alan's eyes turned re

Alan's eyes were red with fury as he snapped back, "Megan, don't you think you're being ridiculous?"You were the one who asked everyone to hide the truth from Henry for the past ten years. You were also the one who signed the consent form yourself. Who are you to blame me?"His words hit Megan like a sledgehammer, crushing her from the inside and leaving her swaying on her feet.Pauline was shocked. She picked up the form from the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Alan, how could you do this to Henry? He was an orphan. All he ever wanted was a family of his own, people who shared his blood."How could you be so cruel for destroying his dream to have a child of his own?"Alan laughed even louder after hearing Pauline's words."Do you think it was me who ruined him? Wasn't it you who kept calling him 'the other man'? Weren't you the one who blindly defended me and asked Megan to admit him to the mental hospital?"How did this suddenly become my fault?"Pauline stared at his

"Henry, what do you mean? An arranged marriage?" Megan stopped me as I reached for the car door and desperately waited for an answer.I ignored her and signaled the driver to shut the door. "Ms. Fisher, this has nothing to do with you."Her face twisted in pain as her hand got caught in the door, but she still refused to let go. Even after the car pulled away, she was running after us.I could hear her sobbing as the car drove on.In the rearview mirror, I saw Megan, who used to be cold, kneeling on the ground and crying her heart out."Henry, please don't marry someone else! I really can't lose you!"Even the driver was thrown off by the scene.I just glanced at her, then pulled out Magnus Capital Group's annual financial report and studied it.My father's help came with a price.He had a dozen illegitimate children like me. However, only one of us could be his successor.Securing this marriage and establishing a partnership between the two families was his first test for me
